Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Is the website www.circumnews.com legitimate or bogus? Unfortunately, it is a fake. The website claims it allows it users to make money by reading news articles and/or creating referral links. A Referral is a unique link given to each user, which allows that user to earn money when someone clicks on that link.users may put these links on social networking websites, in emails, blogs and other locations on the internet.
Although the website claims it will send payments every 14 days via PayPal or Payza, a lot of persons have complained about not receiving payment or being deregistered after reaching the minimum payout amount.
Anonymous persons sent us the following information:
Circumnews.com is a scam. CNN has their own department that deals with ratings and viewers. They aren't outsourcing, especially to websites in Ukraine that have poor English amongst all the other red flags and unprofessional aspects.Considering that and the fact that you don't even have to actually ping the News site its self to get your 2 to 5$$, big red flag. There are several other websites run off the same server that are not legit. Same concept sites. No one got paid for those sites either. I know I posted once before, but seriously just ask CNN to confirm they don't use these people and get the controversy behind everyone.

CircumNews is a scam. Here are my reasons:Fact 1: They are in the Ukraine.Fact 2: The site was created less than 3 weeks ago.Fact 3: Those referral links? All re-direct back to the website OR yield a FAILED response.Fact 4: Their touted $100 payout level increased to $350 todayFact 5: Both PayPal and the FBI are aware of their shenanigans.
CircumNews is a scam. Here are my reasons:
Circumnews.com is now believed to be a scam and a threat. People are getting viruses when they hit the cash out button or the send button to contact. There is no privacy policy and no one has been paid yet, it also has bad grammar. The domain has a sister site called Umfragenews.com in Russian. They may also be selling email addressees, pay pal info, and passwords. There's a lot of people falling for it! This site needs to be investigated and found out before too many people are victimized.

Fifty-news is fake or not?
It is a fake.
Many of my friends are using this website and they are thinking it is real. Please tell me how can I help them?
Have them read the comments below.
newsbehoof.com is a scam. I've been waiting for over 14 days which they state is the requirement, but still no payment to my paypal account.What a waste of time.
Has anyone uses fifty news.com yet? I hit the payout button yesterday and now Im kinda worried they can possibly hack my account now...is that possible for them ir do these places do things like that?
The "fifty-news.com" is another fake website. Click here for information.
So glad I did a little research before really getting into this. It sounds great but when they wanted my paypal account number, I knew something was wrong.
Till News is a big FAKE...I reached my limit for 2 payouts and never got either one. When you email them, you never get a response back. Now they have LuckI News which is set up the same way. They didn't bother to change anything except the name. FAKE so don't even waste your time.
Has anyone heard of Tillnews.com? it's pretty much the same concept of cirumnews.com. I got suspicious after a day on the website.
Should I be worried that they still have my email address? They can't get to my bank or paypal account, but I can't find where I can remove my address. It was fun, though....
There is no need for you to worry because they have your email address. Just do your research and be careful next time.
It is also a fake website. Click here for information.
The website www.postvesti.com is also a fake. The scammers just changed the website or domain name.
The website www.circumnews.com changed their name to www.allnewsround.com. Click here to read more.
"allnewsround.com" is now "questofnews.com" created on 5/8/2015.
If you really wish to do something about it, give your vote for the page on the WOT (Web of Trust) so possible new users searching for information may see the rating and decide not to login there. Seriously. It's a scam. I can't believe I fell for that too! Click here to view the page on WOT.
I had a feeling it was something like this, does not make me feel much better that I am not alone. :(
Hi, This is K* Nasir.Yes this website is a fake. I have worked for it for long time but they haven't paid a single penny . Thanks.
Don't feel bad...I kept working thinking and hoping they would pay.
Great please be careful.
How are they making any money?
They make money from the tasks their users perform, but instead of paying the users, they keep the money for themselves.
Please don't waste your time, being waiting since December still no money or a response
Yes they are a scam. I've been waiting since december for my payment and have written them numerous times with no response. Also if you go to their website it says they have moved to allnewsround.com, however it is still the same c**p website they had just with a different name. Beware and don't waste your time like I did.
FYI: A woman by the name of Yolanda Smith, contact phone: 1-248-923-1025, (is passing herself off as a supposed representative with "all news round" on indeedjobs.com. I believe she is in all this scam.
It has been over a month and still no payment. I sent them two emails requesting payment.
i think this and a lot of other so called work at home websites should be held accountable who ever owns them.there into me for 715.00 from back in december and they won't even respond.this really should be against the law. as hard as times are right now how could these people do others this way. i guess they got plenty of money and just want to have a laugh on us that don't.
Fake website. I haven't received my 372 dollars yet and its been a whole month. I knew it was too good to be true.
I hit 300$ and cashed out in November. It's January 19th and still nothing. Don't bother, it's fake.
This site is nothing but a waste of time.So far, nobody has received their money.Don't go to this site, they are not legit!Date payments System Sum Status2014-01-05 06:02:51 $361 in process2013-12-06 11:28:53 $350 in processThey do not have a Paypal account. However, if you sign up with them and use the same password with them as you use with Paypal, then chances are they are watching your account very closely, and if you have money hit your account then they will make sure it disappears and there is nothing you can do about it, because they have your info. Therefore, I do suggest that you change your password with Paypal and never use the same password when signing up with anyone, because they may gain access to all your information.
Do you think they can get my money on my ATM without knowing the password on my ATM? They know my account number so I'm curious if they can get my money on my ATM... Please reply.
No, they will not be able to gain access to your ATM.
Thank you so much.
I reached my limit on December 10, 2013 and cashed out. The site still says it is in process. Most likely the site is a SCAM. Any place to report them.
i cashed out with 359 and my 14 days are up and i still have not been paid and i dont think i am going to keep doing it.
The BBB told me they are based in South Carolina and in order to file a complaint I would need to contact The Labor Board there. I did and I have to print out a copy of the form and mail it in. I will update you when I hear something.Chrystal Thurston Indiana USA
Hi..I contacted the Dept of Labor too, and they need me to provide the physical business address for circumnews.com and I can't find it...I will do ALL i can to attempt to receive my funds...if you need to reach me you can comment here.
That's because they give you no info about them on the site. No contact number or even email address. When you do try to contact them it doesn't give you any ifo about them and they have switched their url to allnewsround.com
So have u gotten paid yet?
Circumnews is a fake site as I had already have two payments due which is about $700 and 14 days had passed since I had made the request for pay out. It is still showing in process which itself proves that it is a fake site and bluffs people by saying that it will reward just by reading news. I will suggest that no one should sign up on circumnews.D. Goswami
I thought the website was real. I wasted alot of time.
CNN is responsible for this, all links belong to them, so they are involved, they are paying for this and must give an answer.
I think this is fake ......but all videos news is from CNN I think, maybe have some relation....I claim my money, but nothing i receive....I think CNN need some explanation for the people about thisRegards,Joseph
I was up to $358.20....It's been almost two weeks and I haven't seen any money! It says being processed.....Oh well, I didn't lose anything and if they got my email address then so be it! It just amazes me at the number of corrupt people there are in this world! I wish there really was a h**l where they have to pay for there transgressions, but I think that is a scam too! :)
It's fake! I signed up with them when they first started up, cashed out at $108 within 3 days, but have not received anything from them! Don't know what they're trying to accomplish, but that website is nothing but a waste of time.
Yeah, it is most likely a scam. But, the joke is on them. I signed up with a phony email address and built up my account with referrals from other phony email addresses.Let them try and contact them.too bad all around.
I signed up for circumnews. I haven't reached the payout amount yet, I figured it was too good to be true. I am not mad about it though. I didn't lose anything except 20 minutes out of my day reading the news. I have no viruses on my computer and no junk e-mails. It's ashamed it isn't legit. The money would have been nice. Oh well. It is what it is.
