Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Scamming - Fraud
The website, empower.com or empowr.com, which the owners claim provides opportunity, hope, and influence by paying users for posting photos, videos, and blogs, is untrustworthy. The owners of the website is using a service to hide their identity via their website domain registration, which makes it difficult to tell who they really are and where they are located. And, the website is designed to prevent members from cashing out the money they have earned, and getting help or support is almost virtually impossible.
The website, which the owners also claim is the world's first democratic social platform, where the profits and control of the company belong to members, continuously send invitational spam email messages, even when you have unsubscribed or opted-out of such emails.
Online users who are already members of empower.com or empowr.com should know that the Empower randomly charges small amounts of money to their credit cards without their consent, and will also charge large amounts, which they will claim is for advertisement. Also, I have noticed that after installing their mobile app, it sent invitations to everyone in my contact address book without my consent.
Empower.com was not created to help its users, but to trick them into paying for fake services, and working for free by preventing them from cashing out the money they have worked so hard to earn.

I have been in this since it started and never cash out. They never pay me the $60.000.Maurice S.
Wow I thank you for the review you wrote about empower. I was scammed out of $70 from my PayPal and was very upset about this and discussed it with the success coach and I know another person was so upset that she lost over $5,000 and she was flipping out on my page and I started putting things together that this site was not right and that I knew I never see my money back.I tried for months and called and empowers phone number left messages getting the runaround from the success coach at the time and then they transfer me to another coach and I told him and they said they were working on it.It was like I hung in there for I say four months then I deleted the account but somehow this account show back up in my email and I opened it and it shows a lot of money but now they have currency they're dealing with and you can't even do anyting to try to transfer it out because it says it's not in service or not working.What a website to sucker people in and there is lots of people suckered in. These people owe me and I can't even get that money back.They used to be in my PayPal now it don't even show it, just a waste of time.Why can a website not be shut down; it's taken advantage of good-hearted people thinking that they'll get their money; you never hear any of them that post that they got their money out, this just not making no sense either because I've red and red and it's not connecting.I'm so aggravated and how are they getting away with it. Make it too good to be true I guess.
After being an "empower citizen" for a couple of years, I have to agree, it IS a scam. They make it easy to spend money and virtually impossible to cash out. They tell you that you've earned thousands, but require that you make a payment out of your pocket, in order to get the money you have earned!? TOTAL SCAM!
I have an account with empower.com where I have a balance over $1,400 and I did not do anything to make that money and I really do not care because besides not understanding their way to cash it out all the negative reviews make me not have interest in learning the so called process!
Thank you very much for the alert.
Then why/how can the website still even exists?
