<p><span style="font-size:x-large;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p>I feel obligated to shed some light on the scheme of bux.to (a PTC site).<br />
For those who have already come in contact with Bux.to probably already<br />
know to stay clear of this PTC scheming web site.. This notice is <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">not for the informed but for uninformed</span></strong>.</p>
<p>Like you, I was a traffic exchange user. It is the cheapest way to<br />
promote certain web sites. Some are successful and many are not that<br />
successful.  Bux.to was a success and a easy site to promote on traffic<br />
exchange.  Many were sucked into bux.to promises. I am one of them.</p>
<p>When you first sign up on bux.to you are told you can make easy money<br />
without spending any money. As they have described on their main page:</p>
<p><strong>Earnings Example</strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#b2cc80;">»</span> You click 10 ads per day = $0.10</p>
<p><span style="color:#b2cc80;">»</span> 20 referrals click 10 ads per day = $2.00</p>
<p><span style="color:#b2cc80;">»</span> Your daily earnings = $2.10</p>
<p><span style="color:#b2cc80;">»</span> Your weekly earnings = $14.70</p>
<p><span style="color:#b2cc80;">»</span> Your monthly earnings = <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>$63.00</strong></span></p>
<p>Sounds great?  This is how you get drawn into buying refs. Bux.to<br />
offers ref packages that you can buy. Then after you have bought those<br />
refs you receive credit for every ad that they click. Sounds too good<br />
to be true?  Here is the kicker, after a certain amount of time those<br />
refs will die or stop clicking, and all at the same time.  Usually<br />
within 300 clicks. However, Bux.to will tell you it is just a coincidence and that they wouldn&#8217;t dare sell fake refs.</p>
<p>Now I bring you to the &#8220;requesting a payout&#8221; process. The most important part and the reason why you are visiting their site.</p>
<p>According to their Terms Of Service, premium members (for a fee of $59)<br />
can request a payout and be paid within 30 business days. And standard<br />
members are to be paid within 60 business days.  Fair enough.  You can<br />
have payout request be paid to you through Alert Pay or on a Payoneer<br />
Card. Note Payoneer Card is only available for Premium Membership.<br />
Another scheme to get your money.</p>
<p>So you wait for your payout, and wait, and wait&#8230;.For some, a payout<br />
is received. GREAT!! But this was when bux.to was just starting out,<br />
and when they actually paid their members. Now days, the wait time is 1<br />
year and counting for premium membership. <strong>That&#8217;s right, 1 year and still waiting&#8230;.</strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">For<br />
some, die hard Bux.to fans this is ok.  They consider bux.to like a<br />
bank account. Good for them. For the majority, this is unacceptable.<br />
Especially for those who have put in thousands and thousands of dollars<br />
into this site. They and like so many others are victims of this online<br />
scheme. </span><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
Bux.to has a forum to discuss Bux.to and other related discussions.<br />
However, bux.to mods and admin like to demonize their members. If you dare<br />
speak or utter the word SCAM. You are banned. If you argue with a Mod<br />
you are banned. Mods tend to think everyone is out to get them, when in<br />
fact it has nothing to do with them. Yes, the world does not revolve<br />
around you. There I said it! </span><span style="color:#000000;">Since Bux.to policy is not to give any information or keep members<br />
updated we are forced to express ourselves to the closest thing we have<br />
to a bux.to representative. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
As of now, the only thing members can do is take it and shut up. We are<br />
laughed at if we give our assessment of the problem and treated like a<br />
&#8220;science fiction writer&#8221; as one mod would put it.  We were told to take<br />
our theories some place else. If that&#8217;s what you want to call them.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
So here I am. Spreading my word and the word of many other Bux.to<br />
victims. Do not be fooled by these PTC sites. Bux.to or any other.<br />
Stick to your gut feeling&#8230;&#8221;</span><em>If</em><span style="color:#000000;"> something </span><em>sounds too good to be true</em><span style="color:#000000;">, it </span><em>probably is</em><span style="color:#000000;">.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>Thank you, and I hope my experience will help those who are thinking of joining a PTC site.</p>
