There are many PayToClick websites... but i have never actually heard of someone who was paid... are the sites really a scam? or are there people here who have received money?

LOL, i like that link :tongue:, but even in that there is no real proof that people were paid, it seems easy to run a website that you tell people what the bad sites are. and that still doesn't prove that they really pay people. i want to find someone who has used a serviced and reaped some reward from it. instead of reading scams on Google

EDIT: wow, I kinda sound like a jerk when i reread what i wrote :tongue: lol, I didn't mean it that way though. Sorry.

Lmfao @ Naum.

Personally, I know for a fact that almost every ptc site is a scam. I did bux.to for a bit, Literally spent a week of my life setting up proxy referrals under my main account, got to 50 f***ing dollars, and wasn't paid. It has said "Pending audit" for the past 5+ months.

Also: This is the wrong section...

If you want to get free things online from a REAL site, PM. I can send you a referral link which I would appreciate if you signed up under me. It's called Swagbucks. I've gotten a shirt, and a key chain from there. There's also youtube videos of people recieving psp's and other game consoles from there.

There are some legit ones

Neobux is the best example for a legit PTC

Swagbucks is legit you search and earn "swagbucks" and with the swagbucks you can redeem prizes such as an amazon gift card.

Also: This is the wrong section... HAHA!!!! i originally had a different purpose... lol i was gonna write a tut... Forgot, oops :tongue: I heard somewhere that if you report your own post you can ask mods/admins to move/rename/delete threads. It clearly says not to do that though, so is that msg just what came with the forum or is it really considered misusing the report feature... and also, i know that many people have been scammed. lol. i am more looking to find if any PTC websites really do pay. lol


============
Kave: do you know any people who have been paid? not just over internet but in person. stuff over internet is faked too easy, lol.

SPAM: Wizzup is viewing my post :eek:. lol

============

I just visited swag bucks... they look like they are kinda big, with the nice looks so I don't know... any proof?

Both me and an irl friend have gotten Swagbucks T-shirts. IMHO Swagbucks is the best site for getting things for free.

I've been paid $50 from AW-$urvey's. Although many report that it is a scam, it did actually pay me. How else could've I donated that $50 to Dankness when he previously owned the SRL host? xD

I don't know if gangstergreed is still around but they used to pay. I paid for RS membership twice through them.
