    kaylar wrote a new post, Flagged Items on Hubpages; open to Plagiarism 7 years, 7 months ago

    This article grows out of a discussion I was having elsewhere about what happens when you write for Hubpages and your article is ‘non-featured’.

    In many cases you will write, post, the item would be published, […]

    • WOW! I’ve heard various complaints about HUBPages but this is my first time ever hearing this one. That’s a very sinister and devious trick. I find it hard to believe hopping HUBBERs would do that.

      I know what “flagging” is for but I rarely use the feature. In fact, I can’t think of when I’ve ever used the feature unless it was to flag a comment that looked like spam or was offensive. As for published content by fellow writers and bloggers? I would have to think long and hard before I click on a flag.

      I am extremely cautious about flagging a person’s content … that is to say their “hard work”. Especially flagging it so that I could steal it!

      Of course, it should be easy to track the tricksters and expose them. Don’t you think?

      At any rate, this is a matter HP management and staff should review thoroughly. Do you know if it has been reported to them? I should think they would want to examine and put a stop to it. It gives the entire site a bad reputation for allowing unethical behavior.

    Mahesh replied to the topic This is totally disappointing : payment not received in the forum Group logo of Thinkers GroupThinkers Group 7 years, 7 months ago

    I think the site does mass payment once every month. So if you miss that payment, you have to look for payment next month. I missed payment twice because I had no email for the paypal added into my profile. So it was postponed to next month. I suggest you to wait till 12th of each month. So that last months balance may get carried over. It may not…[Read more]

    If you don’t know about the Jamaican Lottery Scam, these are the basics.

    Part One

    A phone call is received by someone in the United States.   The caller says, (basically)  “Is this Mrs. [Name]?”

    “Yes…”

    “Of [ […]

    • As long as they can fool people,they will thrive in their scamming activities! No one should believe such gimmicks!

      • When the Scam started, we felt that; “Hey America! Don’t blame us cause you have dumb people!”

        But America didn’t feel like that. So we were punished. But I’m sure it is still going on.
