I felt it was important to warn you about this program. The webmaster of Fishing4mails.com posted the following text on his site:
BUX.TO - The website found at http://bux.to is NOT affiliated with AdBux in any way. They copied everything from AdBux, word for word, page for page. The only thing done differently was their logo as well as the name. They blatantly stole our website and have infringed on our copyright. After a few exchanged e-mails, they are supposed to be changing the website layout and wording sometime this week. Regardless of their change, we URGE ALL ADBUX USERS to boycott this program because it's obviously BAD NEWS! Anybody who is cheap enough to copy a website and call it their own work should not be worthy of calling themselves a webmaster and automatically fail at administering any type of organized program. If they can steal a website, they can also steal your information, your money, SELL your e-mail address, etc. If you do join this program and use the same login info as your AdBux account, we cannot guarantee that your AdBux account will remain safe! All in all, stay away from bux.to!
I thought that this is helpful information for people who´ve joined the program or who are thinking of joining.
I didn´t sign up for it, I hope not to many of you have?

Thank you for your advice Dana. I'm one of the ones who did join, but I'm not fearful about my account as it is through Paypal, and there's no way they're gonna pfish my Paypal account. The security is far too tight.
As for Adbux, it's up to them to keep our information private, surely? Besides which, that account is on Paypal as well. There's no way they'll pfish my password from there!
However, thank you for the warning. I'm going to watch for the name change and everything now. Brightest Blessings.

Wow! That is pretty low of someone or a group of people to copy a website like that. I am not a member at either of these sites but will be careful should I ever decide to join Adbux. The people who created Adbux could probably sue those people who copied their website. It is ashame how low people will go these days. There are way too many scammers out there, who should be banned from using the internet.

Bless your heart. I am sick of all these sites. I am sticking to MyLot. They are honest. I'm just not that active anymore. Huggers.

I have not looked at it, but I do think this is a prime example of how friendships on myLot benefit us. I hope others heed your warning. It is important, and you are doing a very proactive job of warning others.

I just saw this same message on fishing4mails and was just going to post it here to warn everyone until I saw you beat me to it lol. I haven't joined this program despite all the referral links I've been given for it. Any site that with just straight copy another site word for word is asking for trouble and not trustworthy if you ask me. I'm staying away from this one!

Oh. Even I have got some referral links from some of my friends. I see that the site is very much similar to Adbux itself.
Also I noticed that, Adbux has now made quite a few changes to their sites to prevent users from being disguised and cheated as their site. Thanks for the warning though. I have seen the same warning in the Newsletter sent by Adbux to their users.
