The king of PTCs has just introduced its security card slated for January 2009.  The security card adds an additional layer of security to an already dual password system.  The card is an actual physical card that you receive in the mail that will be used to validate numerous profile actions, including cashouts, jackpots, purchases, transfers, etc.
Here’s an excerpt from Neobux’s website on how the card works.
After you’ve received your card, activate it and choose your protection level.
Everytime the card is required, you’ll be asked for 3 random positions in …

Well folks it looks like another PTC site has bit the dust.  Honestly I really did think this was a PTC site that was Neobux’s nearest competitor.  The site had a great script that offered many of the same features, but was different enough to stand on its own.  The admin was very active and seemed genuine.  I received six payments without problems in its early life, but after the story broke of the death of Sandra, it was the beginning of the end.  My last article talked much about …

The admin of SandraClicks announced very bad news yesterday in the forum.  The admin’s fiancee Sandra, whom he named the site after, went into surgery for an operation on her stomach after coughing up blood.  Unfortunatedly she did not make it through the surgery and passed away.  It was later found out that she had stomach cancer, which is so tragic since she was so young.
Here’s an excerpt from the post:
Yesterday there was a great woman, the woman with whom I was going to marry in January …. we had …

Ever since the new admin at Crewbux has taken over, he has looked for a way to get new cash streams.  That admin is Jynchou.  If the name sounds familiar its because he has direct ties with another famous ptc, IsabelMarco.  Crewbux has been in trouble ever since the last admin supposedly had a freeze on his Paypal account and the payment delays started.  Before that Crewbux was a favorite of many because the site paid really fast, in most cases 24 to 48 hours.  But its never been the …

When it first launched Buxeast seemed to have potential.  Of course alot of that had to do with the promise of instant payouts which it did feature, but alot went wrong quickly.  The site was very popular at launch and featured the Gen2script which was supposedly very secure and hack proof.  Gen2script was produced by the makers of Secure-Bux which was notorious for its security holes, but this newer version promised to be different.  It was created from the ground up, not an upgrade to the old script.  They had …

What was once one of the better PTC sites around is now just another casualty of the PTC world.  ClixMX had the makings of a great site, with its active admin, great features and good payout.  It was the only PTC site that offered insurance against your referral clicks which made investing in referrals a lot safer.  In the end, it was faced with too much adversity to stay a float.  It was one of the sites that got hit hard from DDOS attacks and experienced a long down time.  …

We’ve all heard about how the DDOS attacks brought PTC sites to their knees several weeks ago.  Some sites were down for only a few days, and some for weeks.  When it first broke that a few sites had initially been hit with DDOS attacks, it was also learned that a blackmail letter accompanied the attacks.  Apparently, certain individuals claimed responsibility and wanted money to stop these attacks.  But this is not what intrigues me about the DDOS attacks.  What causes me pause for thought is how greatly some sites …

One of the most popular and favorite PTC sites for a long time recently made a stunning announcement. They decided they would no longer make payouts to standard members. I myself had to read it four times just to make sure I wasn’t misreading it, but sure enough it is what it is. Now members have to upgrade to premium just to get paid. Here’s another caveat of the new TOS at IsabelMarco, you have to be premium not only when you request it, but up …

It’s common knowledge that Paypal has regarded the PTC site business as somewhat shady as a result of so many complaints of scam sites that have taken users money.  But it’s also been a gauge of how legit a site is.  In order for a PTC site to actually be able to offer Paypal as a payout option, it has to be in really good standing and that’s very hard for most PTCs.  As you have probably noticed there are very few Bux type PTCs that actually accept Paypal.
Slow Decline

What once was one of the premier PTC sites around, is now struggling to keep its reputation clean. For almost two weeks now CrewBux has suspended payouts to upgrade the script version on its site, and its members are growing very impatient as the live date keeps getting pushed back. Talks of scam are littered across the forums as members can only wait to see if the payouts will once again start to flow. The admin is doing his best to assure its members with promises of …
