is it time to STOP CLICKING??? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 90/100. mysdianait (4128)   ranked 156 out of 20,403 in make extra money3 months ago

Many of the 'veteran' clickers know of my enthusiasm for the PTC 'bux' sites and the new clickers are aware that I belong to many sites. Following the recent events over the last few weeks I feel it is time to stop and think before we go any further.

So-called hacking incidents, Ddos attacks and the latest scam episode regarding wire transfers has changed completely the way I feel about continuing.

Many clickers have taken advice from me in the past. The only advice I can give now is to STOP AND THINK before parting with your money and investing in ANY PTC SITE.

The XClix group has vanished.
The PaidClicksGroup had vanished.
All the 'new trusted' sites are NOT what they claim to be.

The three sites which POSSIBLY could last are giving off bad sensations.
- Neobux is unavailable almost more than available.
- Isabelmarco is asking for funds from members.
- Crewbux is lengthening payout times.

I will not be joining any more 'bux' sites and I will not be reccomending any at all from now on, not even the ones that are paying me. So many have paid once, twice and then disappeared.

Taking into consideration the entire scenario at present do you feel that PTC 'bux' sites have a future? Will you still consider investing your time or money in them?

Your thoughts please (with NO LINKS thankyou)

Yes I was about to make a little investment in this PTC industry, but now I will think thrice before doing so.
I am very amazed that the PTC industry was able to hold out till now. You can see that majority of their ads either are about their own site or about other PTC sites. They really are advertising only themselves, very very limited vision.

I think that the downfall is very near of the PTC industry. Maybe the 3 sites u mention will eventually come out as the winners, let's wait and watch!


myLot reputation of 90/100. mysdianait (4128)   ranked 156 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

Be careful farrukh and donot use any offline money to invest. If you only use payouts and re-invest them you will lose nothing of your own wink
Good luck!


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (12143)   ranked 6 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

That is a very good point, on Crewbux the majority of the banners are Crewbux's own, ironically about upgrading too some of them, does leave you thinking doesn't it, it's not a case of if it's a case of when they go now!


myLot reputation of 75/100. farrukh004 (238)   ranked 1,207 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

Exactly! I have noticed this thing on many of the sites except 1, and that site is NeoBux. I have never seen any ad about themselves. So, I can say that NeoBux will stay and the others? well I am not able to say anything about the others!


myLot reputation of 79/100. pau_79 (462)   ranked 1,330 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

Hey, if this came from you Im a little bit worried.

Eversince I can remember you are promoting sites you received payments-you inspired me a lot to click even if I felt so sad coz it aint easy to reach payout.

Now that somehow there are some sites I reached it then hear this from you makes me wonder if Im at the right track...but since Im not using my own money, Ill give it another month and if fail-Ill go back to a regular job waiting for me in the city.


myLot reputation of 90/100. mysdianait (4128)   ranked 156 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

Pau it's all one big muddle as to who to trust and who not to trust at the nmoment
All I can suggest is to continue on the sites you belong to which seem worthy (if you find them as many are missing today too) and JUST CLICK without investing any money in them. This whole situation will leave a big echo on the PTC industry and something will have to happen to make it work properly or stop completely in my opinion. We just have to wait, click and be careful wink


Atiftt (13)   ranked 7,499 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

I agree with mysdianait. Let's just click and wait. Another thing is when you reach your payout limit, directly cashout. Your money is safer at your alertpay of paypal account.
However I do not really believe PTC rage will vanish, maybe the most of the know and trusted sites. But it will come back in another shape, where you still have to click, watch and get paid.


myLot reputation of 79/100. pau_79 (462)   ranked 1,330 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

Just makes me wonder though-how come PTR isnt affected by these chaos...Im keeping matrix mail and wordlinx these sites have been around at least 3 years.
Yes, ill eep clicking coz we'll never know what tomorrow brings.

About these attacks-cant they hire a programmer that way they dont have to rely on a software or I simply hope/wish someone will help PTC operators and offer his service for a reasonable price..

Hearing this from you has really made me stop and think, without sounding disrespectful you were always there guiding and supporting me and giving me the faith that I needed to stop me panicking and I felt comfortable, but now at hearing you saying this it has suddenly knocked the stuffing out of me, taking away the floor beneath me, and I shudder, but then I know you are very wise and what you say is the cold hard truth, as you know I have started taking on more bux sites and my list is growing, but now I am thinking, am I too late, am I just wasting the most precious thing we have in life and that is time! Yes a time to review and to take a long hard look at the sites we are clicking away at. I've made the investment in Isabelmarco I will ride it out, the others I will chalk up to experience, I've invested, including upgrades and referrals in 6 sites, 2 are 110% reliable, 1 is run by a friend so I trust him implicitly, that only leaves Crewbux, Isabelmarco and Readers Pond. I think I will do like you and probably everyone else, just click till I get the minimum then STOP!


myLot reputation of 90/100. mysdianait (4128)   ranked 156 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

Hi wolfie.
I am in a state of limbo brought on by disgust. There have been TOO MANY things happening over the past weeks for it be coincidence. It seems more like a conspiracy. I shall be doing my homework today and taking the cobwebs off those older places where I have never given up, just been less interested of late.
We both know of one admin who would never scam a soul and I feel slightly sad that I had even set him to one side.
I have not lost anything yet but I am calling a halt where I feel that could be the case. Until I can 'feel' what's really going on I shall not promote again. I have not lost faith, I have gained a sensation of sheer aversion. This of course could pass and indeed I hope it will, though I doubt it will be a 'bux' site which will be the cause.

I have one question which you could think about for a minute:
Remember Apairof? They never closed. They were one of the best in many people's opinion. Could it be that they are just hanging on in there waiting for this moment? blink


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (12143)   ranked 6 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

I didn't like Apairof, I had to keep chasing them for my money, it took about 4 attempts and finally they paid up, I would never use them again to be honest. Did you read the admin about nocturnalemails. Dolphin and Balloon are my two best sites which pay within 24 hours via Paypal they are my main earners and extremely reliable. I always click with our mutual friend he has so many sites running now it is hard to keep up. I also click with Marie, his protege! She is my sister and we talk regularly and I click on her sites too and she is 200% reliable so at least I have some very healthy backups if it all goes belly up. But only time will tell, but I will certainly be stopping any more upgrades, referral purchases etc. Mind you Isabelmarco is storming on at the moment for me, earning minimum $2 a day! with them so I am so hoping that they continue.


myLot reputation of 90/100. mysdianait (4128)   ranked 156 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

Yes I read the messaga regarding Nocturnalmails - that also adds to my bewilderment as Shaun knows what he's doing shocked

I too am 'earning' on Isabel very well too. I have not invested there but I joined when there were only 500+ members. However, and many are aware of this, I did have a problem receiving my last payout. To me it is not enough to see my stats updating - until I see cash on my side of the fence you can call me Thomas wink


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (12143)   ranked 6 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

Hi Thomas

So I have $20 in IsabelMarco I am upgraded until 6th October should I cash out now or wait, what do you reckon, ask the audience, phone a friend or....;0)


myLot reputation of 90/100. mysdianait (4128)   ranked 156 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

lol... how many become a millionaire?
I have always requested a payment as soon as the previous one arrives and never invested anything. I'm awaiting on my sixth.
I take the money and run while there is still some to take whistle

I agree with you Diana,now whilst i was never a member of that many anyway.I did stop clicking on a lot recently & went back to the low payout sites,global etc.
Ones that we know for sure pay.I know they are not as good as the bux ones,but it just gets tiring eh.No one will get any more money from me,saying that tho i only gave it to one haha. happy

Hi LnP. I feel like a bomb has hit doh
You know my enthusiasm too over all these months happy
Something is 'bugging' me now about the 'bux' ones but I'm not sure what.
I too have many of the oldies ticking over and they will get much more of my attention from now on.
At least you're not losing either - great! thumbup

4. myLot reputation of 92/100. julyteen (4300)   ranked 1,211 out of 20,403 in make extra money   3 months ago

i think you must not giving up clicking, it's normal that we face economic crisis and that was happen to almost all ptc sites right now. our courage and patient are now tested with this present economic situation. many opportunist now want to earn money by using people, it is an act of evil and we must condemned this act. i will continue clicking to those ptc that paid me already.


myLot reputation of 90/100. mysdianait (4128)   ranked 156 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

I think the economic crisis is a different matter.
There are too many crooks involved directly and indirectly in the ptc industry now in my opinion. There will be the cause of an even worse economic situation for users who get conned into investing with them.
Indeed there are many older established sites - none of them are the so-called 'bux' type though.
Good luck and happy clicking but be careful! wink


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (12143)   ranked 6 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

Do you know what the most worrying thing is, the owners of PTC sites can close with our money then start up another PTC site and how do we know they are the same ones? I was just told that the admin for Crewbux and Thinkbux are the same, so if one goes down they both will! And you must have noticed that most of Crewbux's banners are their own!


myLot reputation of 90/100. mysdianait (4128)   ranked 156 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

There are many under the same owners.
I believe, but I could be wrong, that VipBux is part of their group too.

PaidClicksGroup is 10Bux and Bux.net.

CroClix are WorldClix and MatrixPtc.

The list goes on and on and on... surrender

That is why I used the word 'conspiracy' somewhere here.

5. myLot reputation of 72/100. superrocker (328)   ranked 3,554 out of 20,403 in make extra money   3 months ago

yeah you are right .almost all ptc sites are facing some problems like you mentioned.now the number of ptcs available are much higher and the number of advertisements available to them is very very limited .the number of users in majority of the ptc sites are very high so that they couldnt provide the sufficient adds promised by them for premium memberships.
another thing regarding investments in ptcs are related to buying and renting of referrals .generally we don't get much referrals .so we thought of buying or renting them.but the referrals we buy does not guarentee any sense of their clicks.sometimes all the referrals we bought might be inactive ones .

so investing money in paid to click sites are like some gambling we cant say whether we should get back the money invested.sometimes we may get better than what we invested but it is not sure all the time.

so only invest if you have enough money...........


myLot reputation of 90/100. mysdianait (4128)   ranked 156 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

That's it superrocker it has become a gamble. If I wanted to gamble I should go to a casino, something I did once out of curiosity as a birthday treat some years ago lol

Some so-called ptc sites are earning more through selling and renting referrals than selling ads! w00t

Nope, something has deviated and it is no longer worth as much of our time as before and it is NOT worth any investments from us.

Be careful thumbup

as i have read your post, i been thinking and realize that you are right. the ptc sites are not doing good for us for they have some alibis when we decide to have a cashout. i have 6 ptc sites waiting for my cashout but all of them are still pending. i never receive any money from the ptc sites.


myLot reputation of 90/100. mysdianait (4128)   ranked 156 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

You have 6 happy
At this precise moment I have 32 sites with pending payments cry
I am aware that more than half willnot pay. Those that eventually might will not be true to the Terms stated on their sites.
We, the clickers, have to do as they say and if we can stick it out and not invest we just might win.
That word 'win' should not per pertinent to a business in my opinion.

Be careful and good luck! wink

Dear friend you are making us frightened but really it is true,slowly slowly my list is decreasing,first pay2surf,then mycashout net,burnbux cheating ...and worldclix,earn.nu, like sites facing problem and dont know whether they can continue or not.really it is risky.We have to search for genuine new earning opportunity.


myLot reputation of 90/100. mysdianait (4128)   ranked 156 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

satyakam my intent is NOT to frighten but to make presnet and future clickers aware of the risks we are running. I feel we must only click and be aware that we are probably wasting our time on many sites.
As long as we are only wasting our time and NOT OUR MONEY then we are doing ourselves no harm and we are not lining anyone's pockets wink

Hi friend.. i also experienced a lot of problems on ptc sites now specially on gaborbux.. in their tos payments for standard will only take 5 days, now it became 2weeks! and a lot of members complaining that they've paid less than what they've requested.. For now I don't have any problems with neobux and I think neobux would last long than other ptc sites... I'm still hoping that gaborbux won't turn into scam cause I a have invested about $10 on that site.. Thanks for this discussion for somehow it gives me little idea about investing on ptc's.. keep lotting


myLot reputation of 90/100. mysdianait (4128)   ranked 156 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

You sadly are experiencing problems on yet another site. I joined that one when it first opened and lost my membership when it was mysteriously 'hacked'. I did not return and from what I read I'm glad Imade that choice.
Cut your losses and do NOT invest any offline money in NAY site however good it appears to be. Appearances can be so deceptive! surrender

Future?! Only those that you've mention

Invest with PTC sites? Not now, I'm not foolish. If everything is fine again then I may consider investing but only to those of my favorite PTC sites.

Comments: The development of these PTC sites is very bad, I'm still waiting for many payouts, some of my favorite sites are either down or gone. And now I'm looking for other ways of earning online, these ptc sites are just unreliable. All of them can be a scam in the future. Good luck to all of ushappy


myLot reputation of 90/100. mysdianait (4128)   ranked 156 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

Hi rortiz!
Your sensations are identical to mine happy

I too will be taking away clicking time from sites that I feel are no longer worth my while and using it to find other ways to move on.
While it was fun it was worth it but now the fun has gone.

I WON'T STOP!!!Stopping is like giving Up! But for me, I don't give up. Even if i'm facing huge disaster's in life I didn't quit. Its just like having a big problem with your health and the doctor says youll gonna die sooner. But instead of staying inside your room and cry or anything, Just get up and try the things that you haven't tried before.

In the PTC business, others came good and the turned itno worst. But others made thier site more good than before. Why stop clicking if you can try others and explore other opportunity in the web.

That's my thoughts.
Thanks.

There's a difference between quitting and not being foolish with your money.

I will continue to click, but I won't be throwing any more money away.

Time I have - money I don't.


myLot reputation of 90/100. mysdianait (4128)   ranked 156 out of 20,403 in make extra money  3 months ago

Hi hindi, chio and Ldy!

I will not stop clicking either! They would win in that case and for themoment I am winning as I have never invested in any of them except for re-investing earnings.

I am NOT a quitter in any circumstance in life but if the road gets difficult I change direction.
I will NOT be promoting NAY site at all from now on. How can I know who is 'trusted' and what the heck makes a 'trusted' site in the first place.
There are more of the topsites makingmoney from sales through renting or selling referrals now than selling ads which was what was supposed to be their intent in the first place.

I do not advise to stop but I DO ADVISE to THINK before investing in any of the sites from now on and I also think that if serious, veteran clickers contine to recruit new referrals among those who are starting their PTC adventure then we should at least WARN them to be careful so as not to be in the same boat as many conmen who are site admins.
