the site. I get so tired of the same lame excuse of "previous owner robbed members" and we just bought the site. They could very well be the previous owners far as I know. What does it say about them buying a site without investigating first. I dont plan on clicking there. How about you?

I used to be on that site while back. Forget why I deleted my acccount.. probably didn't pay up. I won't go back.. seems as you say.. could be a scam. If I was going to buy a site.. I'd sure not buy one with a bad rep or name hanging on it! Yeah, you get those members, but like you said...members only know what they are told... truth or not. But in buying that "established" site to get the members, you also get the bad rep along with it.. so I'd just start from scratch and buy a new one.. and then work to get members.

Yeah everyone wants the easy road. Seems not only on the internet, but consumers have to research with all the companies going bankrupt or scamming their customers. Just cant believe everything you read, even its on their TOS. Boy those were the good old days when you could hold a company to their word.

Definitely not gonna happen here. I know what you are saying here. You would think if someone is going to run a legit business they would at least look into something that they are investing in. I think your right about it being the same person too. Sounds like a desperate attempt to get its "customers" back.

Just seems all the sites use that same statement. Its so easy to blame someone else.

Yeah, I would definitely do a "whois" search on the domain before considering going back. I've heard about this 5ivebux mess once before. But if you do the whois search (http://whois.sc) on the domain, it will tell you if the ownership of it has been transferred, or if it is the same people doing this. Although, it doesn't look like you are all that interested in finding out lol.
