I wrote an article on first topic and sent on 16th April, 2013. I received the reply saying my article is approved. However when I asked for the money, he kept sending some or the other excuse. Today is May 27, 2013 and I am still waiting to receive the amount for the article I wrote for them.
In case you also receive any email from such people, people ignore writing for them. They do not pay the amount. I will surely update you in case I receive the amount in future from the said company. Till that time beware of such fraud companies.
