For this 2 days, I'm having difficulty in login to Shortbux, it says proxy error. I wonder if this problem came up because of my server (I'm using FF3 as a browser), or any other also experiencing this error.
Other bugs also happen at Prosperbux, a lot of member complaining about earning drops and admin are not responding this complaints at their forum. I'm also reach my payout but unable to cash out, because there's a bug in their sistem, and today I see that my earning also drop about $ 0,5, so I'm unable to cash it out again :(
Well, I'm not hoping to much from this site, as I don't made any investment there.
My aim is to invest payment from other PTC site to my Neobux. But anyway, it's nice to get paid for those clicking jobs.
Is this thing also happen to you ? Any suggestion will be welcomed :)

I would watch out for shortbux because it does not make sense that they get a new domain when they could have renewed their shortbux.com domain. I am sure that you do not have to worry about prosperbux since it is still on the safe list on the gptbank site.

Yeah, that's became my question too. Why do they move to new server and not informing their old member, Shortbux even deleted 100 GPT bank ref without confirmation, that's why they moved to GPT bank scam list. I have $ 1 to go and will leave the site after receive my payment.
I'm waiting for my Prosperbux payment right now :)

Hi,
I don't know the exact situation right now, maybe Prosperbux got hacked in some way and they are in maintenance for restoring the system. Just wait until I'm receive my payment from them, if they do pay then it's still worth to join them.
I'll be glad to pass any info regarding the sites I've joined here.

Regarding with shortbux, i have made an entry about whats happening to them, you can check my blog link its in my profile. About prosperbux, i dont have the same problem but im having problems with exchanging inactive referrals. I know that their site is currently in trouble and as others said they still pay its members. Maybe you need to wait for 3 days and observe if they fixed the bug or not to have a concrete conclusion if whether they will turn out to be a scam.
Anyway, goodluck!

I am a member of Shortbux for 2 weeks now. I decided to register because since it is a Bux site, it must have been a legit site. Awhile back, I was trying to login, but unfortunately, it says that my username and password cannot be found in their database. I really do not know what happened. So, I have done my research and found your post. Am thinking twice now of being active there.
