2bux.com Gone without even starting

Too many damn scams! It seems best to just stick with the older websites now... which means even any potential legit new sites won't get their start.

What information did they collect? Just username, password and Paypal address? I'm getting more and more cautious with just giving that information to these sites... Who knows what they use it for!

Scammers suck!

most might call it a scam; some might not. but ihad seen ads of it. wonder what happened to make it be gone. i hope the contact info is not used for unscrupulous means. fortunately i didn't apply for that as i had too much and was even thinking of quitting some.

Why does this not surprise me? I heard of m2bux in another forum, & people there said it would be a waste of time.
What about the first bux? I am a member of that, but wonder if I am wasting my time with that one? Have you been paid by them?

Well, I have stoped with the PTC sites for the time being. I will stay outside and see what happen with Paypal. I do not want to use some more payment processors other than Paypal and therefore I will only work with my PTR sites. I am not happy with this, since I had reached payout limit in both Adbux and Buxto just in time for this problem and Therefore I will use the amount I have got for ads for other programs instead. I think, I did not lose the money, I just will use it instead to increase my referrals in the PTR sites.

However there are some PTC sites that have past the tests and still have Paypal as a payout option.

definitely a scam. There are so many of these scam sites emerging nowadays. It is so hard to find a reputable and reliable PTC sites nowadays. That's why even PayPal is cracking down on them.

Even I thought the same as you did.

But I tried the site today and I got advs, not much in number but 1cents advs.

Also I have 9 refferal there,so I am at $18,Its worth a try for me to check whether site is scam or not.

And hope its now

U should try Gpts, u make more that ptc . I made close to 800 last month . Check out my web page if u like . I only do the freebies, posted proof of payment. I do paid monthly and daily sights.

noooooooo i'v just joined ...do you really think its a sceam??

Hi,

Sad to say, ANYTHING that announces itself with a "prelaunch" is likely to be built on a flimsy premise, if not an outright scam.

Just stop and think - what exactly is the idea of a "prelaunch"? It's to get hordes of lemmings piling into the scheme before it's shown any viability at all. It doesn't HAVE to pay anything out to anyone, the "prelaunch" yields mountains of eager members, all panting in anticipation of the payouts that never come.

The "prelaunch" thing got started, as I recall, with a shonky ponzi-type scam a couple years back - ProWealth Solutions, I believe it was called. Lots and lots of money pocketed by the inner circle on THAT one. And the ringleaders from that scam-fest went on to create more get-rich-quick pyramid-type schemes, often piggy-backed onto otherwise legitimate marketing initiatives with involvement by big-name retailers (to give it credibility and to suck people in), and ALWAYS with a big fat "prelaunch" phase to make sure there were teeming hordes of members crawling all over each other to try to score some cash.

Now THOSE guys were (are) PROFESSIONALS... professional scamsters, for lack of a better phrase... very polished and sophisticated in their methods, and applying the lessons leaned from each new venture to suck even MORE profit off their NEXT big pyramid scheme.

Bottom line - if it has a "prelaunch", my suggestion is don't walk - RUN in the opposite direction.

I don't like any of the bux sites as it seems to me that most of them are just scams and disappear after a short time, or just don't pay their members. I belong to another forum that is just about money making sites, and people there are always complaining about the bux sites. They just want to get people money for advertising and for upgrades and for buying referrals, and then they disappear with all their members money. Anyone can start one of these ptc and ptr sites and then disappear. The problem is there is no one regulating these kinds of sites and so there is no recourse for us. There is no one we can complain to and they don't have to have a license to open these sites and so there are no laws for them.

I have found a lot of ptr sites that have been around for a long time and are not scamming people. I have been paid several times for all of them and if you want to see which ones I am talking about just go to my profile page and check out my website.
