Is Empowr a Scam?

empowr_logo

Not to be confused with empowered.com, empowr is a strange and complicated game of money where the rules are far from clear.

It claims to be a social network where people can make money.

You make money by posting items, sharing, blogging, liking, selling and ‘fanning’ .

It doesn’t make sense that you make money from simply ‘liking’ or from posting your own articles etc. Where does the money come from?

Seemingly people are soon told they have made a lot of money but it’s not real world money – you cannot cash out this money until 90 days later and in the meantime you have to keep making actions on the website  and each time you do it costs ad credits which have to be paid for immediately  with real money (not the winnings)

So you pay up front constantly and chase after the supposed winnings but cannot get to them.

Most people end up paying so much for ad credits and other admin costs they never make any actual cash.

It’s a game where maybe some people can win but as there is no apparent source of money except for the players then the money is being moved from one to another and empowr take their cut.

The people responsible for empowr are the ones that created Fanbox which was a similar game of circulating money (real and fake) and interestingly had legal protection in its terms and conditions

WARNING: Please use FanBox for entertainment purposes only. In particular, your use of FanBox may never materialize or result in any direct or implied benefit. Any content, Earnings, time, payments, and relationships associated with your use of FanBox may be subject to modification or termination.

The email inviting us to join empowr was from a Stacey Collins but using a Gmail address rather than an official empowr address. Strange?

The small print at the bottom of the email says dollar amounts are revenues, not profits and are for illustrative purposes only.

So, the top part of the email that says that Stacey has sent us $20 to try empowr – not real.

Empowr is not recommended.
