I did scammed by a person who i believe that a good friend at first. The story was all about a ptc site. i received my payout, so of course i am very happy because it was the first site that paid me on my alertpay account. Someone offer me to buy referrals from him, i am doubts at first because i am afraid to be scam. my friend also a filipino like me tell me that he also bought referral from this guy so i agree to the offer and send funds to his alertpay account. He advice me to send my referral link so that he can processed my referrals after 2 hours. well, after 2 hours i checked my balance, all of my referrals click but after 1 day i found out that all of my new bought referrals stop clicking so i contacted the person and no one reply my email. i look my friend who also bought referrals from this guy, when i found him i immediately asked him about his new bought referrals? He then replied that they also stop clicking, within the day we found out that this person are using proxy. Now he is banned from the site. I learned my mistakes and now little bit careful.

This is sad.
The only good thing is that you have learnt your lesson. It is bad enought buying refs through a site but buying froma friend through a friend is even worse if it turns out he is cheating.
Did you get any money back? I hope you did not lose much and that in future you will be able to earn and not part with your hard-earned money. Take care!

Hello dear julyteen. I am so sorry that you had experienced scammed, so it is always better to be cautious before you make the final decision. Well, I am glad that I don't have this kind of unhappy experience yet. Of course, I don't wish to have it at all. Take care, julyteen.

You should really have to be carefully everytime you are dealing with strangers. You can never tell, even your fellow countrymen can do you harm. I am not saying that I can or I will do you harm, but we never met, we only exchange messages, so you don't have to give me 100% of your trust. That is just an example. Always be carefully, never give your trust to everyone, especially in the cyber world...
