Haha, did you really believe that?
If yes, then you DEFINITELY need to read the rest of this review because, in all seriousness, PaidLeaf.com is part of a huge MMO (Make Money Online) scam network which has been swarming the internet for years now.

Is PaidLeaf.com Suggested?
Heck NO! (Unless your goal is getting scammed).
There are tons of other legit websites that will actually pay you for completing surveys and tasks such as Survey Junkie and Swagbucks.
You could also try user-testing websites and apps on UserLytics and UserTesting.
Unfortunately, don’t expect to earn much either with surveys or with user testing… Maybe something between $50 – $100 per month and I am talking about the best-case scenario here.
If you are after earning serious amounts of $$$ online you should check out Wealthy Affiliate and Project 24!
What is PaidLeaf About?
PaidLeaf.com is being heavily promoted through social media and YouTube lately as an MMO (Make Money Online) platform which will pay you a lot of money for completing a number of very simple tasks which require no previous experience such as
- getting people to sign up to PaidLeaf through your unique referral link
- posting promotional banners your social media
- filling in online surveys
- installing applications on your mobile phone
- entering contests
- etc, etc
More specifically, PaidLeaf is supposed to pay you
- $25 just for signing up
- $2 for each person who clicks on your referral link
- an additional $10 for each person who signs up to PaidLeaf after clicking on your referral link
- $30 for filling in surveys and entering contests
- $10 for installing applications on your mobile phone
- $50 for creating YouTube videos promoting PaidLeaf
- $10 for submitting a promotional post to Instagram/Facebook/Twitter every 48 hours
Okay, everything sounds pretty simple and straightforward up to this point right?
The only problem is that PaidLeaf.com is actually a big fat scam that never intends to let you get your hands on the money you’ve earned fair and square through it in the first place…
Didn’t you wonder why the heck would PaidLeaf pay you so much money for doing so little work?
Well, there you have it… It really won’t!
Let me explain further…
How Does PaidLeaf Work?
First of all, PaidLeaf lures people in with the promise of a $25 sign up bonus which is supposed to only be applicable only for a limited amount of time.
This creates a sense of urgency to actually get your hands on that $25 before that limited offer expires which in turn increases the number of people who end signing up to the platform.
Many people will join PaidLeaf only because they think that they can get their hands on that $25 bonus right after creating their account.
This is exactly how I ended up joining a scam identical to PaidLeaf called Viral Pay, for the first time a few months ago.
However, in order to qualify to cash out either your $25 sign up bonus or any additional money you earn with PaidLeaf, you need to
- refer at least 5 people to it
- complete at least 5 tasks on the $30 TaskWall
- have at least 20 clicks on your unique referral link
- earn at least $200 with PaidLeaf
Some people will quit PaidLeaf once they realize that they can’t have their $25 signup bonus right away. Those are the lucky ones.
However, there are others who will say “What the hell, the tasks I have to complete to qualify for a cashout don’t seem that hard. Plus, I can earn a lot more money by completing them. Yeah, let’s give it a try!” … Those are the ones who get sucked into the scam.
They start devoting time and energy into referring people to the platform and completing tasks, thinking that the next time they hit that “Request Payment” button, they’ll get hundreds of dollars deposited in their bank account.
However, what they don’t know is that PaidLeaf will ban their account the moment they request a payment using as an excuse that their clicks and referrals are fake.
The only winner out of this pathetic charade is PaidLeaf. You can never out-win them.
- First, it lures you in with a $25 signup bonus
- Then it tells you that in order to get that signup bonus you need to meet certain criteria (get 20 clicks on your referral link, 5 referrals, complete 5 tasks, earn $200)
- It also tells you that it will pay you even more money for every click, referral, and task you complete
- So, you start trying to meet those criteria in order to qualify for a payment as well as increase your earnings
- When you finally meet every single one of those criteria and you request for the money you’ve earned fair and square, they kick you out leaving you high and dry
This way, PaidLeaf got you to complete several tasks which bring a profit to its owners as well as drive more people to the platform which will, in turn, complete even more tasks which will, in turn, bring even more profit to its owners and all that, without having to pay anyone a single dime for their work.
Pretty appalling right?
Well, this is it… This is how PaidLeaf.com works or to be more accurate doesn’t work.
Get this very well in your head, PaidLeaf will NEVER pay you a single dime! You will NEVER earn any money with it!
If you have any respect for your precious and probably limited time and energy, do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY of PaidLeaf at all costs.
Who is PaidLeaf for?
PaidLeaf is for no one… The platform is more useless than the most useless thing you can think of.
The chances of money landing on your lap while lying on your couch staring at the ceiling all day long are so much more than the chances of earning money with PaidLeaf.
In fact, I am so confident that you won’t be able to earn even a single penny with PaidLeaf that if you do, you can contact me with proof and I will deposit $100 more right in your account just for being wrong…
Who is PaidLeaf NOT for?
PaidLeaf is definitely NOT for people who want to earn money online.
If you
- want to build a full-time income online to quit your job
- are in need of some extra money to provide for your family
- are working a part-time job and need a supplementary income to cover your expenses
- want to gain the freedom to work whenever you want and from wherever you want in order to be able to travel around the world
- have tried other MMO and GPT platforms and systems but failed to meet your financial goals and you are still looking for the real deal
- aren’t working at all and you are looking for a way to build a source of income online
then you MUST ditch this PaidLeaf review NOW, and instead, check out Wealthy Affiliate or Project 24 because, and get that very well in your head, PaidLeaf is NEVER going to help you fulfill your financial goals.
PaidLeaf Success Stories & Testimonials
There is a number of success stories/payment proofs and positive testimonials published on PaidLeaf’s website.
PaidLeaf payment proofs -> paidleaf.com/proof
PaidLeaf testimonials -> paidleaf.com/video-testimonials
Just a heads up, every single one of those payment proofs and testimonials is 100% fake.
Let me explain why starting with the payment proofs.
PaidLeaf Fake Payment Proofs
First of all, as you can see in the images below, the exact same payment screenshots that have been used for PaidLeaf have also been used as payment proofs for another similar scammy platform I’ve reviewed in the past called CashOG.
In addition to that, as you can see in the image below, the domain name paidleaf.com was registered on the 6th of September 2019.
This means that the platform didn’t even exist before 06/09/2019 and yet if you take a closer look, somehow all of the payment proofs above seem to have taken place before that date.
This could mean two things…
Either paidleaf.com was paying people before it even existed or its payment proofs are fake.
Your call…
Let’s move on to the testimonials.
PaidLeaf Fake Positive Testimonials
The positive testimonials that you can find on PaidLeaf’s website are not recorded by actual PaidLeaf members but rather by paid actors.
For instance, the video below is one of those positive PaidLeaf testimonials.
However, as you can see in the image below, the guy who has recorded this positive testimonial is actually a paid actor who is offering his spokesperson services as a freelancer in Fiverr.
This means that companies like PaidLeaf pay him to record videos saying whatever they like.
Same goes for the guy below…
How Much Does PaidLeaf Cost?
PaidLeaf is free to join.
However, it’s not 100% free to use.
You see, in order to complete some of the tasks on its $30 TaskWall, you’ll be asked to submit your mobile phone number and subscribe to various very pricey text message services which will keep forwarding you dozens of promotional text messages per month at your own cost. And those text messages aren’t cheap at all. Just one text message could cost up to $5 and sometimes even more.
Despite the fact that there are probably ways to unsubscribe from such services, I would never trust a scam like PaidLeaf with my mobile phone number.
Furthermore, other tasks might ask you to fill in your credit card or bank account information.
If you don’t want to end up having money sucked out of your accounts by people you don’t know for products you didn’t buy, don’t even think about it.
Plus, if you consider that PaidLeaf will ban your account the moment you request a cashout, there’s really no point whatsoever in trying to complete those tasks in the first place.
PaidLeaf Pros
- Free to join
1 • Free to Join
The only thing I like about PaidLeaf is that it’s free to join.
This way, if someone is stupid enough to give PaidLeaf a try they will waste only time and not money assuming of course that they don’t start submitting their mobile phone number or credit card info anywhere within the platform…
PaidLeaf Cons
- Has just one pro
- Unrealistic claims
- Fake payment proofs and positive testimonials
- Additional charges to complete tasks
- Fake contact information
- Unable to cashout
- Potential hacking danger
1 • Has Just One Pro
The fact that I have been busting my head to figure out a second PaidLeaf pro for the last hour without any luck just bums me out.
2 • Unrealistic Claims
Just like the majority of completely useless MMO platforms do, PaidLeaf uses a lot of unrealistic earning claims in order to convince people to join it.
For example, the first thing that you’ll see when you land on PaidLeaf’s website is a huge banner saying “Make $500 Today!” (see image below).
First of all, earning $500 online in one day could be possible only for established digital marketers with a ton of experience. It’s impossible for a beginner with no targeted audience to make that kind of money online in just a day, or even a month to be truthful.
Secondly, PaidLeaf will never actually pay you so it doesn’t really matter if you are the best digital marketer in the world, you will never earn $500 by using it, not today, and not in a million years.
Furthermore, PaidLeaf claims to have paid $44 million to over 300K of its members. At the time of this review (10/9/2019), PaidLeaf exists for only 4 days…
It’s 100% impossible for a 4-day old platform to have paid so much money to so many people in such a short amount of time.
Each one of those extraordinary claims is just a pathetic attempt of PaidLeaf to lure you in.
3 • Fake Payment Proofs and Positive Testimonials
I really hate it when crappy platforms such as PaidLeaf try to trick people into joining and using them by employing fake success stories, fake testimonials, and fake payment screenshots.
First of all, the fake payment screenshots that PaidLeaf uses, prove that it indeed doesn’t pay its members… If it did, they wouldn’t publish fake payment proofs and risk their credibility and trustworthiness. They would just publish some real ones!
Secondly, the fact that PaidLeaf’s creators have paid actors to record positive testimonials shows that they know their platform sucks so bad that it would never get authentic positive testimonials from people who have actually tried it.
Lastly, those fake payment proofs and fake positive testimonials result in a ton of people wasting their time and energy into PaidLeaf who otherwise wouldn’t if those payment proofs didn’t exist.
According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), using fake positive testimonials/success stories is considered a violation as it encourages customers to invest in a product or service they otherwise wouldn’t, thereby defrauding the customer, which is actually illegal and subject to huge penalties.
4 • Additional Charges
As I’ve mentioned earlier, in order to qualify for a cashout of your PaidLeaf earnings you need to complete at least 5 tasks from the $30 TaskWall.
In order to complete those tasks, you’ll be required to submit your phone number and agree to subscribe to paid text-message services which could cost you up to $50 dollars per month and maybe even more.
So, not only PaidLeaf will never let you get your hands on your earnings, but you could also end up losing a lot of money while attempting to complete tasks in order to qualify for your first cashout.
5 • Fake Contact Information
PaidLeaf provides 2 means of contact with its support team.
The first one is through the email hello@paidleaf.com
I used an email checker to see if this email is valid or not and as you can see in the image below, it’s not!
The second means of contacting PaidLeaf’s support team is through an “account manager’s” Skype address @paidleaf.ollie
A simple Skype search for that address reveals that this contact doesn’t really exist either.
So, as it seems, there’s no one to contact regarding PaidLeaf. If you have any questions, there’s no one there to answer them. If you require any support, there’s no one there to provide it to you.
Once you join PaidLeaf, you are all alone…
6 • Unable to Cashout
The biggest con of PaidLeaf is that it will never let you get your hands on the money you’ve earned by referring people to it or completing its other tasks.
Even if it didn’t have any other cons and like a thousand more pros, this con alone beats the whole purpose of investing any time and energy in the platform in the first place.
Trying to make money with PaidLeaf would be like buying a car with no wheels to go on a road trip – it’s just pointless…
7 • Potential Hacking Danger
Just now, I came across a survey task on PaidLeaf’s $30 TaskWall which didn’t require me to submit my phone number so I thought that I should give it a try to see what it’s about.
However, before I even got to access it, my antivirus went off giving me the alert below:
As it seems, some of PaidLeaf’s tasks lead to 3rd party websites which contain viruses that could damage valuable files and information on your computer or phone.
However, the worst part is that those viruses could enable hackers to get their hands on personal data and sensitive information of yours such as the login credentials to your social media, email, or even your bank accounts.
If you don’t have an internet security or antivirus program installed make sure to stay clear of PaidLeaf at all costs…
If you’ve already accessed the platform without having any protection in place, you must immediately purchase an antivirus and scan your entire system in order to ensure that your computer hasn’t caught a virus and that your personal data and sensitive information are safe.
So, What Now?
Okay, so you read this PaidLeaf review in its entirety…
Now what?
Well, as I see it, right now you have 4 options…
- You either waste your time and effort trying to make money online with PaidLeaf.com (awful choice)
- You check out my top MMO (Make Money Online) suggestions Project 24 or Wealthy Affiliate, both of which are proven to have helped hundreds of people build a full-time income online (optimal choice)
- You take a look at the dozens of others reviews I’ve put together hoping you’ll find a money-making opportunity which suits you better there
- Or you walk out of here completely empty-handed
Your call…

I wished I stumbled upon your informed review of PAIDLEAF before burning my time and energy on their site. All you highlighted in this review is apt and straight on point. They should be called SCAMLEAF because that’s just what they are. I am their latest unsuspecting victim and this is my proof as highlighted below in the receipt they sent to me:
Payments Details:
Total Amount: $1375.00
1st Payment Schedule: NET30 (30 days)
Scheduled Payment Date: 2019-12-28 00:00:00
Status: Canceled (as a result of fraud stats)
While attempting to submit your payments, our system has deemed some or all of your stats to be unauthentic, Due to that, your payment has been canceled, and your account is pending termination.
Your account will be terminated within 7 days. If you would like to start over the AUTHENTIC way, then you are welcome to do that.
If you think, that was a mistake, you can contact our Fraud Department.
And when you contact their Fraud Department, I am sure that they will help you out xD
I am so sorry you got scammed… I actually laughed with your SCAMLEAF comment 😛
Keep your eyes open because there exist tons of scams like PaidLeaf out there and as time passes they manage to disguise as legit money-making opportunities better and better.
My regards,
Harry
Why add new task
I am sorry, I didn’t get your question (assuming this was a question).
Please elaborate!
Harry
Dear Sir,
I have Earn 515$ but my referrals are not increasing in my dashboard whenever many people have registered from my referral link please solve my problem
Thanks
Dear Javed,
I wish I could solve your problem but I really can’t.
I am neither working for nor affiliated with PaidLeaf.com in any way.
I don’t know if you read my review before commenting but I mention that PaidLeaf is a scam. Chances are that this is the reason that your work isn’t being recognized.
Seriously, don’t expect that you’ll ever get your money. PaidLeaf doesn’t pay anyone.
If you haven’t understood why, then, you should probably re-read my review.
Harry
Thanks for giving an honest review on PaidLeaf. I also describe a total process and some tricks, how to earn more money from PaidLeaf on my blog. I invite you all to see the blog. On my website, you learn some brilliant ideas for many outsourcing websites.
Blog LInk: (omitted)
Hi Ariful!
Unfortunately, I omitted your link because PaidLeaf.com is a scam and you are trying to get more people to join it because you think that you are going to make money that way.
Let me assure you that no matter how many people you refer to PaidLeaf, you’ll never get paid so stop wasting your time there and please stop trying to suck more innocent people into this awful scam.
Harry
Dear sir.
I have joined the paid leaf website and completing the tasks every day and my balance is almost $550,everything is fine but the problem is that I have been referring the link and many of my friends clicked at my referral link and joined the paid leaf website but in my device the number of referral clicks and refer is not showing and that’s why I am unable to cash out my balance in PayPal.
So I just want to know why this is happening to me. I request you sir please answer me and help me with better explanation.
Dear Raaz,
I am sorry but PaidLeaf is a scam.
Even if counted the referrals and clicks you got from your friends, it wouldn’t pay you the money you have earned so it’s better for you to stop trying.
I don’t have a better explanation than my 4000-word review so if you didn’t read it, please go ahead and do and you’ll understand what I am talking about.
Again, PaidLeaf is a scam… You have been scammed by it.
I am sorry…
Harry
