Adbux is down…
… at least for the moment.
Currently there are many rumors on different forums and blogs, because Adbux, a nice PTC site where you can earn by clicking ads and doing free and trial offers, is down. Many people think that the Adbux team turns out to be scammers, especially members on Bux.to do some heavy discussions about that topic.
Both mentioned PTC sites have a bad relationship since Adbux suspected Bux.to for stealing their website script. On the other side the Bux.to members suspect the owner of Adbux to be a big scammer, namely Chad French, who already scammed his members on Netbux (another PTC site that´s now down). There is a nice article on MrGPT about this topic.
Personally I don´t see it a such a bad sign if a web server fails for some days. Usually this happens if there´s a too high load on the CPU and databases (or on bad web hosts), which in turn means there are a lot of visitors. Sure, on the first sight and with those infos about Chad French in mind, one would fear that Adbux went down forever, but I personally think they will be up again within a day or too (as they also state on their current website message).
If it would turn out, that they are really scamming its members, I would feel angry for sure. I will loose around $8 and I´ve promoted a program that actually wasn´t worth it. But who really knows beforehand…
Wish you all the best,

Adbux is a really cool website, I like that it has progressed from just basic pay-per-click through to now paying you to do all sorts of stuff
