I know exactly why you are here…
It was a few weeks ago when you came across MoneyGenie.co
Maybe a friend told you about how you can leverage the platform to make a lot of money without much effort…
Or maybe you heard something of a similar nature on a social media post or a Youtube video.
Whatever the case, you trusted your source and went ahead to create a MoneyGenie account.
Since then, you have been referring dozens of people to MoneyGenie.co as well as completing dozens of its tasks in order to qualify for your first payment.
A few days ago, when you finally qualified, you requested a cashout of your money.
However, quite a lot of days have passed and you still haven’t received your money and so you started wondering
- “Is MoneyGenie.co legit?”
- “Am I going to actually receive my payment?”
- “Or is MoneyGenie.co a scam that wasted my precious time for nothing?”
Well, my friend, I hate to be the one breaking it to you but MoneyGenie.co is not at all what you think it is… It’s not at all what other people claim it to be…

What is MoneyGenie About?
Is MoneyGenie.co Legit?
MoneyGenie.co poses as a legit GPT (Get Paid To) platform…
It claims that it’ll pay you quite a lot of money for completing simple tasks such as filling in surveys, installing apps, referring other people to it, creating YouTube videos, etc.
There are tons of legit GPT platforms out there but unfortunately for you, MoneyGenie.co is NOT one of them…
MoneyGenie is more like a legit GST (Get Scammed To) platform.
Yeap, MoneyGenie.co is a SCAM because contrary to other GPT platforms that actually pay their members, MoneyGenie will never pay anyone a single dime.
I know that you might not want to be hearing this but this is the truth.
If you’ve already tried to make MoneyGenie work, then I am sorry but you have completely wasted your time.
MoneyGenie.co is part of a huge network of identical scams that have already scammed millions of people over the years.
Don’t worry, I am about to explain to you everything but in order to truly understand how this MoneyGenie.co scam works, you’ll first need to understand how MoneyGenie generates money for its owners.
Here's How MoneyGenie Generates Money
So, MoneyGenie.co generates money through CPA (Cost Per Action) offers.
CPA offers pay publishers (like MoneyGenie.co) commissions when their members (like you) complete certain actions.
Some of those actions could be
- Submitting an email or telephone number
- Filling out a form
- Installing an application
- Signing up for a trial
- Completing a survey
- etc
Does this ring a bell?
Aren’t those some of the actions that you are required to take in order to complete tasks on MoneyGenie’s $50 Task Wall?
Well, this is it!
MoneyGenie generates money every time a person completes one of the tasks on its $50 Task Wall.
Now that you know, let’s see how this MoneyGenie.co scam actually works.
Here's How the MoneyGenie.co Scam Works
First of all, MoneyGenie.co baits you in by promising a $35 bonus just for creating a free account.
You naturally sign up thinking that you will get your hands on that $35 signup bonus right after creating your account.
However, MoneyGenie.co doesn’t actually let you cash out the $35 signup bonus until you meet the following requirements:
- Refer at least 5 people to the platform
- Complete at least 5 of the tasks on its $50 TaskWall
- Have at least 20 clicks on your unique referral link
This is exactly where the scam starts…
Since you joined MoneyGenie looking to earn some extra cash online, meeting all those requirements isn’t such a problem.
After all, MoneyGenie.co claims that it will pay you
- $1 for each click you get on your MoneyGenie.co referral link
- an additional $5 for each person who joins MoneyGenie after clicking on your referral link
- and $50 for each task you complete on its $50 TaskWall
Time to make some easy money while qualifying for a cashout, right?
You start devoting time and energy and you manage to get the required 20 clicks, 5 referrals, and 5 tasks.
You can finally cash your money out… Yayyy!
MoneyGenie even gave you a payment number and told you that your payment is due in 1-2 weeks!
Unfortunately, your payment is NEVER going to actually take place…
And not only MoneyGenie.co won’t pay you a single dime but it will also ban your account saying that your clicks and referrals were faked.
MoneyGenie does that in order to keep all the money you generated through completing its tasks as well as get you to drive more people to the platform who will, in turn, complete even more tasks and refer even more people, and so on, and so forth…
In addition, MoneyGenie claims that it pays $50 for creating YouTube videos promoting it.
Naturally, everyone who hasn’t realized yet that MoneyGenie.co is a scam, will go ahead and create 2-3 videos. That’s why YouTube is swarming with crappy, useless videos all having the exact same title “Money Genie Pays You For Your Social Media Clout | share.moneygenie.co/…”
Those videos will draw in thousands of more unsuspecting victims through YouTube.
Summing up,
- MoneyGenie.co lures you in promising a $35 signup bonus
- Then it tells you that in order to get that signup bonus you need to meet certain qualifications (get 20 clicks on your referral link, 5 referrals, complete 5 tasks)
- It also claims that it’ll pay you even more money for every click, referral, and task you complete
- You start trying to meet those cashout qualifications as well as make more money
- You complete tasks -> MoneyGenie’s owners earns money
- You refer people to it -> MoneyGenie gathers more people who will complete tasks and generate more money for its owners
- You create a couple of YouTube videos to earn an extra couple of hundred bucks -> You draw even more people in MoneyGenie through YouTube
- When you finally request a cashout, you’ll receive $0 and an account ban
Summing up, even more, MoneyGenie.co lies its ass off in order to get people to generate money for its owners as well as market and promote the platform without actually having to pay anyone a single dollar for their work.
Pretty appalling right?
Well, this is it… This is how and why MoneyGenie.co scams people!
Get this very well in your head, MoneyGenie will NEVER pay you a single dime. You will NEVER earn any money with it.
If you want my advice, stay as far away from MoneyGenie.co as possible!
So, Is MoneyGenie.co for You?
In case you’ve missed it, MoneyGenie.co is for no one…
The platform is more useless than a car with square wheels.
Seriously, you have way more chances of earning $1.000.000 by lying on your couch staring at the ceiling all day long than earning just $1 with MoneyGenie.
In fact, I am so confident that you won’t be able to earn even a single penny with MoneyGenie.co that if you do, you can contact me with proof and I will deposit $100 more right in your account just for being wrong…
Having said that, if your goal is to earn $100 – $200 per month, then consider checking out
- Survey Junkie (Only available in US, Canada, and Australia)
- and/or Swagbucks (Available Worldwide)
However, if you
- want to build a full-time income online to quit all 9-5 jobs forever
- are in need of more than a couple of extra couple of hundred bucks per month to provide for your family
- are working a part-time job and need a supplementary stable 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 legit way to build a source of income online
then, make sure to check this one out.
No matter what your financial goals are, MoneyGenie.co is NEVER going to help you fulfill them.
How Much Does MoneyGenie.co Cost?
MoneyGenie.co is free to join.
However, be aware that you might end up losing quite a lot of money while actually trying to utilize the platform.
For instance, in order to complete some of the tasks on its $50 TaskWall, you’ll be required to submit your mobile phone number.
If you do, you’ll automatically subscribe to various very pricey text message services that 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 those text message services, I would never trust a scammy platform such as MoneyGenie.co 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 bank accounts by people you don’t know, do NOT even think about it!
Plus, if you consider that MoneyGenie.co will never actually pay you, there’s really no point whatsoever in completing its tasks in the first place.
MoneyGenie.co Pros
- Free to Join
1 • Free to Join
If I had a gun on my head and the only way to keep it intact was to come up with one aspect of MoneyGenie.co that I liked, I would say that I like that it’s free to join.
Believe it or not, there exist scams way worse than MoneyGenie.co that could rip thousands of dollars off of you and leave you hanging afterward.
MoneyGenie just wastes your time and not your money (assuming of course that they don’t submit your mobile phone number or credit card info anywhere within it).
That’s something…
P.S. If I had to come up with 2 pros, I’d probably get my brains blown out.
MoneyGenie.co Cons
- Fake Payment Proofs
- Fake Testimonials
- Unrealistic Claims
- Additional Expenses
- Fake Contact Info
- Unknown Owners
- Unable to Cash Out
- Hacking Danger
- Part of Huge Scam Network
- BBB Consumer Alert
1 • MoneyGenie's Payment Proofs = Fake
You’ve seen them, right?
I am talking about MoneyGenie’s payment proofs…
How could a platform that clearly pays its members be a scam?
It’s simple…
Every single one of MoneyGenie’s payment proofs is FAKE (shocking).
And here’s the proof…
As you can see in the image right below, the domain name moneygenie.co, was first registered on the 23rd of October 2019.
This is proof that the platform didn’t even exist before that date…
Now, the images right below are some of the payment screenshots published on MoneyGenie’s website (make sure to pay close attention to the dates that they’ve taken place).
All of them seem to have taken place months before MoneyGenie even started operating.
This means that either the platform paid people before it even existed (yeah right), or that all its payment proofs are fake (that’s more likely).
The rest of the payment proofs on MoneyGenie’s website have their dates conveniently blurred out…
Busted!
2 • MoneyGenie's Testimonials = Fake
In addition to the fake payment proofs, MoneyGenie has also published a number of fake positive testimonials on its home page (see images below).
So, why are those testimonials fake you ask?
Well, great question!
This thing is that Desi Banks is an actor. The image that has been used in MoneyGenie’s testimonial is really him (see image below).
Ana Cheri is an American Model (see image below).
And Brittany Renner is an author (image below).
This is definite proof that MoneyGenie’s positive testimonials are as fake as its payment proofs.
Busted x2!
The fake payment screenshots that MoneyGenie uses, prove that it indeed doesn’t pay its members because if it really did, why would it publish fake payment proofs and risk losing its credibility and trustworthiness and just publish some real ones right?!
The fact that MoneyGenie’s creators have published fake 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.
According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), using fake positive testimonials/success stories is considered illegal and subject to huge penalties as it encourages customers to invest in a product or service they otherwise wouldn’t if those fake testimonials/success stories didn’t exist, thereby defrauding them.
3 • Unrealistic Claims
Just like the majority of completely useless MMO platforms do, MoneyGenie.co employs a lot of unrealistic earning claims in order to trick people into joining and using it.
The first thing that you see when you land on MoneyGenie’s homepage is a huge banner saying “The #1 Social Media Network”
Yeah sure, forget Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc…
A fart platform like MoneyGenie.co that just started operating became the #1 social media network overnight…
That’s so unrealistic that’s actually funny xD
Furthermore, MoneyGenie.co claims that it has paid $50 million to 256k of its members.
As we saw earlier, MoneyGenie started operating on 23/10/2019. I am writing this review on 23/12/2019 so right now the platform is exactly 60 days old.
Are we supposed to believe that MoneyGenie has really paid out $50 million to 256k people in just 60 days? I don’t think so, dudes!
Okay, let’s say that it did, which it didn’t, but let’s say that it really did!
If you do the math $50 million paid out to 256k people equal to $195 per person.
That’s not that much money.
Lastly, in an attempt to further increase its credibility, on MoneyGenie’s homepage copyright footer, there’s a claim that the platform has been operating since 2013 (image below).
This is just another lie!
As we’ve already seen, the platform started operating in October 2019.
In addition, if you log in to your dashboard and scroll to the bottom of the page, you’ll see that MoneyGenie claims that it’s operating since 2015 (image below).
Seriously guys, if a 5-year-old had created this website, it would have kept it more consistent.
4 • Additional Charges
As I’ve mentioned earlier, in order to qualify for a cashout of your MoneyGenie.co earnings you need to complete at least 5 tasks on its $50 TaskWall.
In order to complete some of those tasks, you’ll be required to submit your phone number and agree to subscribe to paid text-message services which could cost you a ton of money.
Other tasks might ask you to fill in your credit card or bank account info and then start charging you for random products and digital services you never actually bought.
This way you could end up losing a ton of money while attempting to complete tasks in order to qualify for your first MoneyGenie cashout which is never going to actually take place…
Stay away, people!
5 • Fake Contact Information
MoneyGenie.co provides 3 means of coming in contact with its “support team”.
- an email address (contact@moneygenie.co)
- a contact form
- a Telegram address of an account manager (@oliviamoneygenie)
Something that I always do before I start writing a review, is contacting the support team of the company/platform I am about to review in order to figure out how responsive and helpful they are.
So, 2 weeks ago, I forwarded a couple of queries to MoneyGenie’s support team through all the 3 means of communication it provides.
Needless to say, I haven’t received a single answer yet…
After digging a little deeper I discovered that the image that supposedly depicts MoneyGenie’s account manager Olivia is actually an image of a t-shirt mockup girl used by placeit.net (see proof below).
Lies, lies, and more lies…
6 • Unknown Owners
Another huge con of MoneyGenie.co is that it provides no information about its owners.
This is one of the most obvious signs of a scam!
Scammers tend to keep their identity hidden in order to avoid being identified with their fraudulent activities and getting caught.
A legit website/company ALWAYS provides information about its owners.
7 • Unable to Cashout
The biggest con of MoneyGenie.co is that it will never let you get your hands on the money you’ve earned with it.
It doesn’t really matter if you refer 2000 people to the platform or complete 1 million of its tasks, the amount of money that MoneyGenie will pay you is going to always remain exactly the same -> ZERO DOLLARS!
Even if MoneyGenie had no other cons and a thousand more pros, this con alone beats the whole purpose of joining and using the platform in the first place.
Trying to make money with MoneyGenie is as pointless as trying to move a boulder by shouting at it…
8 • Potential Hacking Danger
Before I started putting together this review, I attempted to complete some of MoneyGenie’s tasks that didn’t require me to submit my mobile phone number or any credit card info.
However, before I even got to access the first task, my antivirus went off giving me the alert below…
Apparently, MoneyGenie’s tasks lead to 3rd party websites that contain viruses that 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, credit cards, or even your bank accounts.
If you don’t have an internet security or antivirus program installed make sure to stay clear of MoneyGenie 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.
9 • Part of a Huge Scam Network
MoneyGenie.co is part of an enormous network of dozens of scams that have been wasting people’s time for many years now using the exact same scamming techniques.
Some of those scams that you might have heard of are
- Kids Earn Money
- NotionCash
- Tap2Earn
- InfluencerCash
- Cash4Clickz
just to name a few.
Take a look at the images below to see for yourself how all those platforms are basically clones of one another…
10 • BBB Consumer Alert
In March 2019, the BBB (Better Business Bureau) issued consumer alerts for Kids Earn Money and Notion Cash.
Kids Earn Money and Notion Cash are both MoneyGenie’s sister scams.
According to BBB, between January 4 and March 13, 2019, BBB Metro New York received several complaints, negative reviews, and Scam TrackerSM reports regarding Kids Earn Money and Notion Cash.
The unrealistic earning claims these platforms make are in violation of the BBB’s Code of Advertising. BBB tried to locate the owners of those platforms to sort things out but without any luck.
BBB has rated both of those platforms with an “F” suggesting to the public that they should stay as far away as possible from them.
According to BBB, people sign up to Kids Earn Money and Notion Cash thinking that they are online marketing agencies, where they will earn money by completing “tasks.” The money appears to increase on the platform’s dashboard after completing those tasks, but when the consumer tries to cash out their earnings, often when they reach some set requirements, they report that they are unable to retrieve the promised payment or contact the company for assistance.
BBB goes on to state that one possible purpose of such scams may be data harvesting, for the likely intent of selling the gathered information to spammers. There is also the possibility of identity theft.
Right below you can take a look at a few complaints left under the BBB profiles of Kids Earn Money and Notion Cash from people who have actually been scammed by the platforms.
You can take a look at all the complaints under the BBB profiles of Kids Earn Money and Notion Cash by following the links right below:
While the fact that BBB has issued consumer alerts for Kids Earn Money and Notion Cash doesn’t quite prove that MoneyGenie is a scam as well,
I am aware that I am convicting MoneyGenie by association, but please remember that MoneyGenie is a scam operating exactly like Kids Earn Money and Notion Cash created by the exact same people.

Overall Rating
Is MoneyGenie.co Suggested?
If your goal is wasting your time on a scam that will never pay you a single dime, then MoneyGenie.co is probably exactly what you are looking for.
However, if you really want to earn money online, there are tons of other legit GPT platforms that will actually pay you for filling in surveys and completing other simple tasks such as
- Survey Junkie (Only available for US, Canadian, and Australian residents)
- and Swagbucks (Available Worldwide)
However, just a heads up, GPT platforms aren’t really profitable, so don’t expect to earn much…
Maybe something between $100 – $200 per month MAX.
If you would like to earn some SERIOUS $ online, ditch this review,
forget about MoneyGenie.co, GPT platforms, and filling in surveys, and
check this out instead…
