Major rumors are going on in the PTC scene and especially this post from the TakeTheGlobe admin has fired up some heavy discussions on whether Bux.to is a scam or not. Let me tell you what I personally think about it.

First of all be warned, this post is against Bux.to and their scam business model! Although I was a long time supporter of Bux.to (and I feel really sorry for that), I’ll now want to warn people to invest even a single cent in this site! Seriously, DO NOT INVEST IN BUX.TO!

Ok, let’s start. Bux.to LTD is most probably run by a guy from UK named David John Withers, a person well-known for many online scams and tax/VAT frauds. There’s some unchecked evidence that he was born on June 15th 1956 and lives (or lived) in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, UK. It seems there’s no “George” or “Debbie” who are the supposed founders of Bux.to, but only a single guy with some “partners” who run a scary million dollar scam business by ripping off thousands of people everyday.

Let me give you some more facts that make Bux.to look very suspicious besides the above mentioned:

• They have payment delays exceeding 6 months, independent of having an upgraded account or not. I’m personally still waiting for some measily $75 since April 18th 2008. Ironically, their excuse for this huge delay is the manual payment audit process to prevent paying out scammers who are trying to game Bux.to. They claim to have more than 10 million members and in more than half a year they haven’t a solution for this auditing process? No way! They should have enough funds to pay a company for this or hire more employees.
• They moved their company’s place of residence to Dominica, a tax haven without much control from any government or lawyers. They claim to finally call themself a real company. No Way! They simply hide in that country to scam even more people. Hey, when they are really coming from UK why don’t they register their company in the UK?
• They promise to come back to their normal payment schedule after a new script is released. They are now working on that script, called “Bux Reload”, for several months and it isn’t finished yet. They claim that a good script simply is taking that long. No way! Ask a coder and he will tell you that it won’t take more than 2 weeks or so.
• They are currently setting up a new server system with help of Theplanet.com (a major reliable online host) which causes extra payment delays. Afer several weeks they are still working on it. They claim that they have no influence on this time frame since the job is done by the Theplanet.com staff and that it simply takes that long. No way! Setting up a server rack can be done within a week, especially with well-trained people like those from Theplanet.com
• Their business model isn’t stable and nearly completely relies on people upgrading their accounts or buying referrals. They claim that they make all their money from advertisers. No way! With some 50% of self-sponsored ads (e.g. promoting their own forum or success stories) they simply can’t make that money back.
• They are selling bots. They obviously they claim to not sell any bots. No way! Take a look at all those funny usernames in your downline which look like randomely generated by a computer (or simply look in the forum to find people from your downline).
• They delete forum posts. Whenever someone is trying to tell the truth about Bux.to, the post or thread is closed or deleted. They claim to prevent people from telling lies about their holy Bux.to. No way! They simply fear of losing paying members that bring them money. It also seems like the forum mods are paid for bringing those people “under control”. Mods like Nattymoo, Tri or Spiderwoman are defending Bux.to like their life depends on it, although they didn’t got paid by them yet (or made only some small bucks).

I could go on and on and point out several more concerns I have with Bux.to and their scam practises. But I think those facts above are enough to at least have a closer look on them before thinking about investing money in it. Sure, I can’t proof all of the facts above, but I think common sense should tell us that something is completely going wrong with Bux.to.

To all my readers, please don’t invest any money in Bux.to anymore! Really, DON’T DO IT! You’ll most probably never get a single cent back. Also don’t necessarily base your descisions on whether or not to invest in Bux.to on only the facts provided above, but simply use your brain and ask yourself if Bux.to really looks that trustfully!

If you have any additional evidence that Bux.to is a scam, please comment on this post or simply tell us how much money you’ve lost. Please also note that I will delete any comment trying to defend Bux.to, simply because there’s nothing to defend about Bux.to anymore. For me they are big scammers and I’m done with them. All I want to do now is to warn people from joining them and investing their hard earned cash, because they WILL lose it.

See you later,

PS: Dear Bux.to staff/admin/mods/robots, fell free to delete my Bux.to/forum account after my evil post here. That would give me some nice extra opportunity to add some more facts to this post. It’s highly appreciated!

Warning! Bux.to has turned into a horrible PTC with payment delays of more than 6 months, a lame staff and forum mods that defeat Bux.to with their life although they even have not a received a single payment yet. I’m not the only one who didn’t get paid by them, thousands of users are complaining about this mess. The Bux.to staff are the most unprofessional people I’ve ever seen online for a long time (or maybe they are the best scammers I’ve seen, who knows…). I DON’T recommend joining them, there are way better PTCs on the market that even pay instantly, like NeoBux for example. There I already earned over $2,000 and got paid more than 10 times!

It was a long time ago since I’ve last written a post about the famous Bux.to. Well I had my reasons for that. To be honest, I was really pissed off about Bux.to with all their delays and empty promises (and I’m still pissed off right now). Since months they promised to release their so called “new script”, also known as Bux Reload, to speed up payments for all their members. But besides a short beta test phase nothing special happend until know. People get more and more annoyed about Bux.to and many of them stop clicking on ads and don’t purchase new referrals. Honestly, they are months behind their normal payment schedule…

Yesterday Alt3rtnativ3, the programmer behind the current and future Bux.to script, has made a very promising announcement. He told us that, according to the Bux.to staff, the current payment backlog will be gone within 4 weeks, meaning until early August. They will handle all open payments until they are in their normal payment schedule where you get paid after 60 business days if you’re a standard member and after 30 days if you’re premium.

So far so good, but I’ve heard way too many empty promises lately. So at the moment I’m a bit in doubt if they will really fix their payment problems in such a short time (or at all). I mean, why didn’t they do that earlier? Some people arque that this is because Paypal is about to unfreeze the Bux.to account or simply said, that they didn’t had the money until now and weren’t able to pay their members in time.  Well I personally don’t know for sure. For me it looks like something strange is going on behind the scenes, but I very much appreciate if they ARE fixing their problems. Let’s see…

PS: NeoBux is getting better and better. I love that PTC! On what I see, it will be THE big competitor for Bux.to in the future. I mean instant payments, renting referrals, script changes within hours, extremely nice support, Paypal integration on the way…features Bux.to can’t provide right now.

After a long time without too many updates about my progress with Bux.to, I will give you some more in-depth details about my current situation with this nice money maker. I will give you some statistics about my referral count, click rates, earnings and current news about Bux.to in general.

Bux.to - The Best PTC Ever

I started my Bux.to experiment/career way back in October 2007, where I was a complete noob in terms of making money online. But, until today, I don’t regret joining this PTC, the most popular of all PTC’s at the moment (and probably for the future). I had many highs and lows with Bux.to the last month. First I thought it was a scam, until I received my first payment in February 2008 (not much btw, but proof enough for me to keep on using that site). Then everything seemed to work right, until all those statistic delays started and many members thought this would be the end of Bux.to. Well, they are still alive!

Just recently I was invited for the beta test of the brand new script that powers Bux.to. I was amazed after finding an invite for this beta test, because only 10,000 members were allowed to test the new script. Ok, 10,000 members sounds much, but note that Bux.to has over 5,000,000 members today! Maybe the staff has noticed that I rank number in the top ten in the Google search results for the term “Bux.to” and have some influence?!

At the moment the most annoying thing at Bux.to is the really huge payment delay. They are three month late with their payments. But there are reasons for that delay! First, they had some serious trouble with Alertpay, which had several errors in the payment processing on their own side. The problem is already solved, payments will be processed as regular. Second, and most disturbing fact is the audit time. At the moment they have to check each payment request for fraudulent activity (thanks to all those scammers and users of autoclickers). With several thousand cashout requests each month one can only imagine how long that would take…

But, with help of the new script, several things will change. First of all, they will include some kind of autoclicker detection. Sorry, I haven’t (and won’t give you) any details about it! I think it’s a good step for faster payment requests, because the account audit times will get shorter. Second thing is semi-automatic payment processing instead of manual doing those payments. After the release of the new script, payment will definitely arrive way faster than right now!

Ok, let’s head over to my stats!

My Bux.to Stats

Let’s first have a look at the stats directly from my Bux.to account:

You see, after joining the site nearly six month ago, I have done 3071 clicks by myself. I must admit, that’s not a high amount. I’ve seen users with way more clicks than I personally have. But I’m not below the average for sure.

So far I have a total of 72 referrals. 65 of them are purchased from Bux.to, the rest was done by promoting Bux.to on my blog. I personally haven’t referred many people…unfortunately. I’ve spent a total of around $80 for buying all those refs, luckily I’ve already made my investments back. Some more bucks I’ve invested were $65 for upgrading my account to premium status. That was the best thing I could do, not only because I get paid 25% more compared to standard members. It also increased the daily ad count from around 10 ads to sometimes more than 40 ones!

Now for the best part, my referrals have clicked a total of 12061 ads so far. In other words, each referral brought me around 167 advertising clicks so far. I have made my investments back!
I have a nice (or ugly) statistics graph where you can see the total amount of referral clicks since the beginning of January, where I bought my first referral pack:

You’ll notice the recent increase in my referrals click activity, that’s because I’ve bought another referral pack three weeks ago AND the statistics delay has gone (at least for me)!

So far I got paid $12.71 from Bux.to, back then to my Paypal account. So far I my account blance went up to over $168. At April 18th I’ve requested my second payout of $75 to my brand new Bux.to Mastercard. In my opinion the new card is another great step towards a more professional PTC. At the moment I’m still waiting for the payment to arrive.

At the moment I’m making around 3 to 4 Dollars each day, excluding my personal clicks on daily ads. That’s amazing for only 72 referrals, where around 10 of them are even inactive. I think about reinvesting most of my money (if it arrives some day) in new referral packages. If everything works right for the next month, I’ll see a huge increase in my overall monthly earnings!

Conclusion

At the moment you could have many doubts about Bux.to. Payments are late, statistics aren’t updating right, many people complain about this PTC already. Everyday there are new threads on the Bux.to forums from people that are waiting for their first money to come in.

On the other side, Bux.to has proven to be a professional PTC like no other. They have solved their problems with Paypal while searching for alternative payment processors. They have arranged a deal with Payoneer, a serious company providing the already mentioned Mastercard. They are currently working on a new script to give their members a way better experienece, not only moneywise.

I will furthermore support Bux.to as a real big money making opportunity (maybe I’ll get a higher ranking in the SERPS than Bux.to itself :)). Sure, there are payment delays and one could arque about their real business model, but I think they have some good plans for running their business for a longer time in the future. So far they have proved to pay many people, sometimes several thousand dollars!

Bux.to is THE great site, nothing more to say…!

To make it short, within the next few days several money making programs will launch their services or introduce brand new features. It seems like April and May are very popular months for a fresh start.

Ok, the first service in the list is the Fair Ads Network. I’ve already reported about this advertising company that tries to compete with major players like Google Adsense for example. Until now FAN was in beta phase and will officially start at April 29th. Although I don’t use FAN on my blog at the moment, I’m looking forward to implement their advertising codes on my site again. I had removed them because the ad blocks didn’t show any ads at all for me (hence the beta phase). You can use FAN just like Google Adsense or Adwords for monetizing your blog/website or creating your own PPC campaigns.

The second site, that will open its doors on April 30th, is NeoBux, a brand new PTC site with some innopvative new features like instant payments for example. I’ve reported about them some days ago, you can find the post about NeoBux here (or have a look at my Squidoo lens I’ve just created).

The third site worth to mention is Adbux. Although this PTC is around for a long time, the Adbux staff is about to introduce exciting new features. Adbux will (re)launch on May 1st, so stay tuned and watch for some nice new features to make even more money online.

The fourth and last site in my list of (re)launches is Bux.to. The staff is working hard on implementing the new script, which should solve the statistics update problems and (hopefully) make payments faster. Unfortunately I can’t say the excact date when “Bux Reload”, like they call it now, will start. But most members (including the forum admins) bet on May 1st. Well, let’s hope the best!

Ok, that should be all for now. Feel free to check those sites by yourself!

Three days ago I bought another 15 referrals from Bux.to and today they arrived and brought me the first clicks. Within only one day I got around $1.00 from these referrals and with my whole account balance I’m heading towards the $75 payout limit. I think I can make my first cash request to my brand new Bux.to card sometimes around Thursday or Friday when I reach those 75 bucks.

Bux.to is also about to release their new script within the next week or two. It’s very possible that, after the new script is released and working stable, payments become faster. Some people on the Bux.to forums (including admins) expect a new payment time of only 5 business days, instead of the 30 days for premium members now. Let’s hope the best, I’ll inform you!

That should be all, now I have to write some new articles for my first bum marketing project I’ve just started. I will report about it soon, so stay tuned!

So Long,

Just yesterday I talked about waiting for the first payments from Bux.to within the next days. Today the payment is alread here! I just checked my statistics and there were the holy words “Payment sent”. After only 28 business days, meaning 2 days faster than expected, I received $12.71 in my Alertpay account. It was a flawless process and I´m really happy.

You know I had my doubts if Bux.to will really pay me, that´s my nature somehow But now I´m convinced of the truth. At least Bux.to seems like a huge money making machine for the next month (I still have my doubts if they can sustain for a longer time with such high payouts up to some thousand dollars). What I don´t like at the moment is the Alertpay payment option, because I can withdraw my funds only via check with high fees. I´m waiting for the new Bux.to debit card, more infos should follow this week!

For the next weeks I´ll try to buy some more referral packages until I make good daily money. I´ll use a great portion of my earnings for re-investing (provided that I make enough cash).

All I can say now is, join Bux.to if you want to make good money. Invest in buying referral packages (start with cheap ones), you´ll make your investment back within 2 to 3 weeks.
