Learning the Hard Way - SendMoreInfo a Scam...

I have been a member of sendmoreinfo.com since year 2000. It was only last year 2011 that I was able to meet the $10 minimum payout. The site is now owned or managed by Midten Media, Inc. I was hoping that I will be paid but after 2 months of waiting, I still have not received the check. The wait time is supposed to be a month only. I also could not contact them by phone. The only way is through their website. They do not respond at all. I should have not wasted my time on this. It is unfortunate that I had to learn the hard way...
