MoneyGuru Review – It’s Another One Of Those Influencer Scams!

MoneyGuru is supposed to be a GPT (Get Paid To) platform that has you working for their tasks as an “influencer”. The tasks they have you doing range from doing simple surveys to playing games to installing apps.

But MoneyGuru is not all that it’s cracked up to be. 

There’s no owner information posted anywhere on their website. The company claims they started back in 2010, but a quick WhoIs info search revealed that the domain name was created back in 2020. So what gives?

Before we explain the scam, we’ll explain how MoneyGuru is supposed to work. 

Now they’re no different than legitimate GPT sites we reviewed. There is nothing wrong with the site’s theme and design. In fact, the design is appealing and inviting. You just can’t help but sign up. 

MoneyGuru is free to join and you just need to fill up your name, email, password, and bring you to your members’ dashboard. This dashboard will contain your account earnings and the tasks that you can do. 

They’ll even incentivize you by showing you just earned $10 for signing up. 

After signing up, you are now free to do the tasks. You can choose a combination of tasks to do, depending on what’s available. 

You can post a review video about MoneyGuru and get paid $10 for it, or you can write a review about it and earn $1. 

The earnings are all very high compared to what legitimate GPT sites normally offer. 

But this is where it starts to fall apart for MoneyGuru. You see, they have this little line on their page that states if they find any fake referrals or clicks on your earnings, you’ll be disqualified for withdrawal and you’ll get banned. This is actually their excuse for not paying you. 

How MoneyGuru Really Works

You see, when you sign up for MoneyGuru, you give out two important pieces of information: your email and password combination. This is important information that the people behind MoneyGuru and other influencer scams are going to be selling to hackers and other nefarious individuals. 

Once you attempt to withdraw your earnings, you know the $10 signup bonus, you’ll be told to do a series of tasks first to verify that you’re not just signing up and cashing out the $10. 

You’ll be asked to meet a certain amount of referrals, link clicks, video posting, social media posting, and more. By the time you’re done with the list of tasks, you’ll have accumulated a few hundred bucks.

Then by the time you withdraw the amount again, you’ll be locked out of your account and get banned. You’ll attempt to contact customer service, but they will tell you that they found some fraudulent activities in your profile. 

The Better Business Bureau has issued a warning against sites such as MoneyGuru, Notion Cash, Earn Big, and Kids Earn Money.  

The Math Doesn’t Make Sense!

All right, they claim they’ve paid out $44 million since 2010. That’s about $4 million a year from 2010 to 2020. It sounds a lot of money but the math doesn’t make sense. 

If the company pays out $4 million a year, how much are members earning then? Matthew Young, one of the success stories, claimed he made $97,000 since he joined. That’s a huge amount of money. 

If MoneyGuru pays out 1,000 members on average, each member earns about $4,000. That’s quite generous. But their website claims they paid out to 730,000 members since inception. 

$44 million divided by 730,000 gives you $60 paid out to these individuals. 

So where the hell did Matthew Young get his $97,000 if members were only paid out $60?

MoneyGuru is not meant for anyone. It’s part of an influencer network of scams. 

#1 Fake Testimonials

One of the biggest and most common red flags we see on these scams is the use of fake testimonials. Let’s take Matthew Young for example. He claims that he’s earned $97,000 with MoneyGuru but as you can see here, his picture is all over the place. 

So if MoneyGuru has been around for 11 years now and paid out $44 million since, why are they using fake testimonials? Things don’t make sense right. 

You’ll find more examples of their fake testimonials here when they use paid actors from Fiverr. 

#2 Fake Address

MoneyGuru’s address is listed as:

Burgerweeshuispad 101

1076 ER, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

But the address belongs to a company called Nikon Europe. You know, that Nikon, the popular brand of camera and one of the biggest giants in the photography industry. 

MoneyGuru blatantly uses their address to fool their members. 

#3 No Owner

MoneyGuru uses a fake address and doesn’t provide any information about their owner. This is suspicious because they don’t want us to uncover who they are and who we’re giving out our personal information to. 

#4 Exact Copy!

It’s no surprise that MoneyGuru is just a copy-pasted version of its sister sites. They only changed the logo as you can see from this screenshot.

There’s nothing to like about MoneyGuru. It’s just one big scam. 

MoneyGuru is one of those influencer scams we’ve been exposing on this site for a year now. We continue to expose them because they make legitimate survey sites and GPT panels look so bad. 

MoneyGuru has all the red flags, from fake testimonials to lack of owner information to fake payment proof. Heck, their website is a copy of another one of their sister sites. They only replaced the old logo with theirs. 

Stay away from the program.
