Most of us who work with PTC sites got scammed many times. Some lost little, some lost big. I'm the lucky one-- I didn't click on many sites so that I got scammed less. When I started thinking investing in SandraClickers, Sandra was said to be dead. When I started thinking investing in BuxOut, BuxOut immedietely shut down. That was a close call :-) Crewbux turned scam but its new Admin paid me-- it's just by luck, he receive Crewbux with zero balance in AlertPay and PayPal, and I am a standard. That's really a luck.
So far, Isablemarco, Occupex, Osobux didn't pay me for what my job deserve. But it's not a big deal.
What's your worst case?

The list is too long to list as far as being scammed and falling pray to sites fold and run methods. I have learned this business by trial and error and I have made lots of errors. LOL I suppose the worse thing that ever happened to me was reaching payout and then never receiving my money, and the site continued to harass me in order for me to continue working for them for nothing. It was a bad situation. Now if they look like scams I cut my losses and run.

I got scammed really bad on a home business and it took some time for me to really trust anyone out there that offers a home business. I talked to alot of people and got some really good advice and then a few years later I tried it again but with someone who has a home business ran right from their home and I could easily email when needed and I could keep in contact with in case I needed help or something. and it has worked out great for me. so good I have a few now I run from home. and #1 thing is. it doesn't always require $ to start out with. anyhow it was a company for moms and lets just say I didn't win with them.I was taken for a few $$$ and will never do this again. so good luck and always ask questions when you need too!

I don't remember the name of the website, but they had a $10 minimum payout. When i was at about $9.50, i revieved a email from them, where they had changed the payout rules. Now you had to be a paying member, just to get a payout. And as a member you stille had to reach $25 to get a payout... Waste of time :-(

Many of bux sites have turned into scams, still I'm not affected because I've never invested in any of them except for neobux.
A lot of bux sites have closed, but again I'm not affected because I still have those aurora and less earning sites that's still paying me. Unlike buxsites, these programs will survive since they're sustainable enough to stay.
What's my worst case? Only pending payouts from bux sites that have never been paid. lol. Aside from that, nothing and I didn't even loss a single cent from my pocket. lol
For as long as we will not spend any money, we're safe.

reading what you have written, I think I better back up because I have started recently to join those sites, but I can say that i am not that much envolved which means I did not loose anything.
And then I do not like the idea of someone taking care of my investment online without even meeting that person, so how can I trust someone on my money while I can not reach him in case of problems.
