Was PaidForum.net a Scam?

Have you ever joined paidforum.net and accumulated past the minimum payout amount and then they temporarily closed the site and came up with some cop out excuse that the site was being abused by other members calling it a scam? For those of you who don't know what paidforum is. It is similar to mylot.

YES, completelly a scam. I made 22 dollars there in a week. I can understand why they shut down. They had such a high pay rate that they couldn't afford to pay anyone. I made so much money on there so quick, I should've realized it was just a scam. But, mylot has always been there for me, and even though I haven't gotten paid, I still think it is much more legit than paid forum.

That domain is now parked at Sedo's Domain Parking, so I guess the site is gone forever. I highly doubt there were any payouts made by the owners. They're now making money off the traffic that gets sent their way. From my point of view, very sad the way to scam members.

I reached $45 there, and then I stop to be there. I think it is a scam for sure, and I will not come there again and I think I could not come there again even if I want to go , as they already closed. so keep stay here and work hard here. now I only trust mylot. paidform is my first earn extra money website,but it goes and bring my dreams.

this happened to me last month. i reached $100 and paidforum stated that they couldn't pay do to hackers do something to their payment system. i'd say that site is definitely a scam

Yeah it was a scam but mylot is much cooler and you dont do mylot to be rich. And even if the pay is a bit smaller its much more fun.
