I’m used to blog solely about the Paid-To-Click sites I use.
Why? Because I’m convinced the best way to share accurate insights about statistics and potential earnings is to be a member!
But today, I will break that rule!
Let’s speak about one of the biggest scammer of the industry:
Mister Gustavo Gil Peron (teamed up with Alexandre Pereira Prazers).
He deserves an award the first place on our (virtual) wall of shame!
Indeed, he is the only owner who managed to rank, in a few years, at least five sites to the TOP 1000 most visited sites worldwide… (Source: Alexa.com)
Until he decided to close it down and run away with your money!
If you don’t know him yet, you surely want to read this…
because sooner or later he will be back!
Probux View Ads: tons of ads, should you be happy about it?
If you have an account at Probux, you may have noticed that there is currently a lot of advertisements to be clicked (80+ at the time I’m writing this topic!).
Should you be happy about it? Not at all!
Probux is having large numbers of advertisements because most of the members noticed they can’t (and won’t be able to) cash out which is why they are converting their main balances into ads.
To be honest, considering the fact that Probux Ads don’t even have a captcha protection, I’m guessing that currently the biggest part of “clickers” are Probux auto clicker (macros or other cheats). If I were you, I would not even bother to click those ads.
The time has come to convert your remaining balances and leave it.
Here is why…
Probux Scam: another Huge PTC gone Scam:
Since I opened the blog that you’re reading right now,
I must admit I got some attention to my list of best Paid-To-Click sites.
Guess what was the #1 ask I was receiving through my email or Skype?
I won’t let the suspense last, it was: Why are you not member in Probux, Fusebux and Zapbux?
My reply was pretty simple: next to the fact their earning schemes are 100% unstable, those three sites are run by Gustavo Gil Peron, a big scammer.
The same guy that opened and scammed with Upbux and Onbux a few years ago.
PTC-investigation did a great job collecting some proofs about this. But still, a lot ignored the obvious facts:
- Same Modified Script.
- Same Location.
- Registered company (most likely bogus and used to lure in people).
- Former Onbux mod showing up again in PTC industry before Probux launch.
- Same fixed fake ads “eToro, BinaryOptions, etc…”.
- And same shipping address!
Probux News: saving time to avoid disputes:
What happened in Probux? Since several weeks, Probux is not paying.
Since they are smart and aware that you can’t dispute a purchased item once a 45 days grace period is over – they are coming up with random excuses to save time:
Payments only available at server reset, then totally off for “maintenance” during weeks (changing the date of a hypothetical release) and the Probux forum is now down for a small “48h maintenance” (which last since weeks. It will probably never be back!).
Of course the same is happening on Fusebux and Zapbux (forums are up, but you are unable to post something there).
If you invested there, my advice is to open a dispute right now!
Once most of the people are out of the dispute timeframe, Probux website will be down forever.
(Psst. for bloggers, keywords such as probux scam, probux not paying, probux down, probux not loading or probux offline may get high search volume in Google asap!)
Bottom line:
Good luck to all those who were affected by those events!
I hope next time you will take into consideration warnings and huge red flags before joining (and investing) in any online earning opportunity.
Keep your eyes open, because they will be back!
Ps. If you had a Probux account, got some experiences or feelings to share – let me know in comments! :)

I believe it happened to everyone to make bad choice and loose some money on a bad program! ;)
It’s great to hear you are earning well and compensating your loss elsewhere! :)
Hello. This is the first time I see this site. I came here looking for information about Probux. It seems, most PTCs are having a very hard time this days as many new ones joined the market and several old ones are already out of it.
This week I noticed that PayPal is blocking accounts for PTC Sites and this added to scam sites like Ojooo and NeoBux assure me that it’s time to stop wating hours trying to get some coins and use those hours to enjoy life.
Thanks for the info. Have an excellent day :)
Hello Leonardo,
Do you mean probux.me? It seems offline right now, but I did not follow or review that one.
The review above was about probux.com which was online a few years ago (3rd largest paid-to-click back then probably).
I’m not sure how Ojoo is behaving nowadays, but they were only paying selectively at best since months already. Most likely a waste of time unless you get lucky.
As for Neobux, why are you calling them criminals?
I’m personally not using it, nor enjoying the “bux” model (with rented referrals), but as far as I know they are paying earned amount instantly and smoothly? :-)
Ps. If you want stable earning online, the best way is to start your own business I believe. Either sell your services or products or find affiliates that you can leverage.
Of course, this require work, and it’s a long-term effort but it can pay well and for a lifetime when done properly.
Enjoy your day.
Cheers,

hello, what happens to the entries on trafficmonsoon
I’m not promoting it nor willing to waste my time speaking about it while it’s under SEC investigation.
It’s their job and we will see how it goes.
I had just repurchased for $14,000 advertising service a few days back, so I’m already enough pissed off to see this happening.
Enjoy your day,

Hello! May I ask if probux.me and probux.com is the same?
I’ve been a member of probux.com but, sadly, it went scam.
Thanks!
It doesn’t look like they are the same;
but using identical name with a scam doesn’t look like very smart at first sight… :)
All the best, and Have a great day,

hi i am a new member
Hello Alidoni,
This review was referring to Probux.com / who scammed and closed by now.
I see there is a new one called Probux.me;
this wasn’t the one reviewed on my post.
Though choosing a name from a previous scam doesn’t look really smart / accurate… :)
All the best, and Have a great day,

I forget when I used to used Probux but it was the first PTC site that I ever signed up for back in the summer of either 2012 or 13.
Took me 4-6 months to finally earn up enough to make a cash out and once I did my account was cancelled without any explaination and I never recieved a penny from them.
Hello Chilen,
Sorry to hear that. Wishing you more success with your other online activities! :)

Good news that domain is finally down. You can no longer Google Probux. And the first result that pops up instead, is this blog. Thumbs up!
Hello MFDK,
Yes. I noticed this through Google Webmaster. Looks like my SEO tool ain’t working bad.
It’s great that people are finding out directly the background of Gustavo…
I hope it helped some people to leave it earlier! ;)
Have a great day,

Probux is SCAM! Now site has gone somewhere. Probux never paid for me 5$ which I had earned. Luckily I did not deposit funds to Probux.

i just lost over 5$ & 30 refferals from probux. while logging it says incorrect username and password.fake
Hello Bhavesh,
Thanks for sharing your experience! Looks like everyone having some money ready to cashout end up with the same issue there.
Rather not waste time anymore with Probux, they are obviously game-over.
Sorry to hear you loss money, I hope you will recover that somewhere else asap! :)
Have a great day & All the best!
Tanguy – Incognito007
probux is really scam site don’t waste your time….i can’t login after i make 5 dollars
Hello Vik,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
And you are right, Probux is definitely game-over.
Sorry to hear you were unable to redeem your five dollars.
Hope you will do great earnings somewhere else.
All the best & Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
I was quite satisfied with probux and could cash out 3 times earlier. In March 2014, all 11 referrals stopped clicking at the same time for 2 months, when I posted in probux forum, they started clicking. As we can suspect, how all the 11 referrals who were clicking everyday can stop clicking at the same time.
By July I earned more than $10 and tried to cash out a few times, but I couldn’t. At last I donated my earnings for the webmaster’s treatment when he will be admitted in ICU in future. Because he deserves a bad result for his bad action.
Hello,
Great to hear you were able to cashout few times before the crash.
And yes, most of Paid-To-Click are using bots…
That’s why I prefer to focus on direct referrals ;)
Looks like they are back for another scam party with Kayads.
Let’s see how many will join this time!
All the best and Have a great day.

probex is alive or not ?

what happening to probex?
bro http://www.ptc-investigation.com/probux.php (August, 2014
This site was closed by administrator due problems with PayPal. (limited account))
u mail mw that this site was closed by administrator due problems with PayPal

Is this pemenently closed or not?
Hello Renjurs,
It’s permanently closed. It’s time to move away from that useless site! :)
Tanguy – Incognito007
@ badar: I don’t advice you to follow that link.
PTC-investigation.com has been sold a few months back, and the guy managing it is definitely less skilled for his review.
You can find the “old” and official PTC-investigation @ https://www.facebook.com/PTCInvestigation
Which is way better :)
Have a great day!

Hello Renjurs,
Probux is not paying since a while now.
Don’t waste your time and money in there! ;)

Probux is a scam. I had earned 7 dollars but whenever tried to cash out same message kept on coming saying that daily limit has been exceeded. Then suddenly I could not login and my account was gone.Stay away from this site.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us Ejaz.
Sorry to hear that, I really hope you will find some great earning opportunities ASAP,
to cover your loss.

Any idea about new website from probux scammers. Are they planning something new?
Hello Deepak,
Kayads is using the same script, the same Terms/FAQ, similar self-sponsored trading ads and forum pitches…
I would definitely stay away… :)
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Same here with probux had over $250.00 now cant log in say invalid user name and password.
I’ve lost my 150$ investment. Probux is a stupid shit.
Hello SIDragon,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Sorry to hear you lost such amounts.
Hope you will manage to yield significant profit ASAP to cover that elsewhere! :)
Have a great day,

If you invested by Paypal… I would raise a dispute.. Just state you know its a fraudulent site… Because their Paypal has been disabled they are unable to dispute your claim so will rule in your favour after 10-15 days… Even if they don’t its worth a shot trying to get your money back… I managed to get some back which I invested 4 months previous to claiming….
Normally Paypal refund you from their own funds… And then they chase the account holder separately…
Good Luck
Hello Checky,
Four months old really? I though the maximum limit was 45 days… Did that changed already? :)
But yes, if people are still in dispute timeframe – it definitely worth a try.
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
The funds were reversed to me on the 25th of October, I made the payments on 10th July & 17th of July… So about 3 and a half months… Still a long time though….
It may have been because it was within 120 days of the original transaction…. I have just spotted another deposit from May… So I’m going to see if I can get that one refunded as well
Hello Checky,
That’s great! You lucky. I guess they changed things recently.
I had give a try on 21 September for my 45+ days old transactions (advertising purchase)
and it was closed automatically by system. But I guess had that time, few had already made report about the scam to Paypal :)
Good luck with your last transaction then, I hope you will manage to get that refunded as well.
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
It went through the process of raising a claim in relation to the payment from May.. However isn’t showing in my open disputes… Will keep you updated
Okay! Good luck! :)
probux is just a cheater
Hello Siggi,
Probux is definitely a scam, yeah.
Hope you will find a way to cover your loss somewhere else asap! :)
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Last a few days I can’t login my probux a/c. what happened that.
Please help me.
Hello Thirupathi,
Sound like it’s an issue everyone is currently facing…
Probux show his true colors. I’m afraid you won’t be able to login.
And even if you do, it will be a waste of your time as they are not paying anymore.
Sorry for your loss. Hope you will do some great cash elsewhere to compensate that ASAP.
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Yeah i had also account on probux until august this year when i quit clicking since i tried 1 full month to withdraw my money. However i didnt invested anything in that PTC (or other) since i dnt trust enough in this kind of thing in order to spend money. So i only clicked my ads and bought RR and managed to get 70 USD on my paypal account until turned into scam :)
Look like you hadn’t a bad experience in there! :)
Well that’s good for you! ;)
Have a great day & See you soon.
Tanguy – Incognito007
Hi,
I have over $10 in probux and from last few days it is showing incorrect username or password every time i try to loggin. I think i lost my money as well as i have wasted my time.
Stupid people. should not promise if you can’t keep it.
Hello Ronnie,
Yeah. They are always doing false promises and scamming people.
Sorry for your loss… Hope you will be doing great ASAP elsewhere.
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Now login also is not possible. Money gone for good.
Hello Kesavan,
Thanks for report.
Seems to confirm the remaining doubts: everyone is having those troubles.
I guess it’s not a bad things though, should be faster for people to understand this site is game-over.
It was quite weird to see lot of people weren’t aware of it yet, while it makes MONTHS now that they are not paying a penny.
Wishing you all the best in your money making endeavors!
Have a great end of weekend,
Tanguy – Incognito007
I tried to log in to my ProBux account and it said invalid login. Literally tried 3 times and even when I tried ‘forgot password/username’ the page crashed. Reading the warnings online is necessary. Will discontinue those other sites mentioned.
Thanks for heads up.
Hello,
Yes. It looks like pretty much everyone is facing that “error”.
It’s definitely a great idea to make few online research when you plan to join a program,
sometimes you may discover information which helps in taking wise decisions :)
All the best and have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Didnt invested money on Probux, but when a site shows good profits from adds and rented affiliates, its very suspicious. However they paid me 2 times until they went “scam”. Its to avoid now.
Other to avoid is Ojooo, didnt invested too, very bad rentals, that almost never clicked. They only paid once. Avoid that site too.
Hello Tom,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
And yes, I would definitely avoid Ojooo! Next to the issue you quoted, lot of people are waiting their payments since months.
Looks like they are doing selective payments since a while now…!
Have a great day & See you soon,

Let me tweak the subject just a little. What happen to emoneyspace, it disappeared about the same time as probux.
Hello George,
Emoneyspace was owned by William Jackson aka “NorthOwl”, the owner of Incentria and Clicksia.
He ran those sites for six years, so I guess he tried hard to make it work.
The reason given for the closure was a lack of interest for the websites
while health issues was preventing him to focus on it.
Not sure how valid are those reasons as I don’t know him well… :)
Though what I can say is that when I sent him messages about my advertising loss due to his sites closure,
he was fair enough to reply and gave me a compensation of $100
(even though it was lower than my loss, nothing was forcing him to do so as I was out of dispute).
I guess the forum closed for the same reason.
But I don’t understand why he didn’t sold it… :)
If someone have more information about that,
I would be pleased to hear it!
Edit: emoneyspace is back! =)
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Same issue here …Suddenly that site was down and displayed under maintenance to make it more Better. Once the site is up your account does not exist….
BIG SCAMMMMM…..
Wasted my time on it.
Everyone should know it . I would not believe such kind of sites anymore.
Hello Bujji,
It makes a while I’m warning about it now,
even though there was some “Brobux” addict who were hating that…
But know it’s pretty obvious Probux is definitely over.
Thanks for sharing your experience and helping people to know about it!
All the best & Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Same thing here…after they was “doing the site better” I can’t log in..shite site..the referrals what I rented as well was bad as well :( I like ptcstair better, rented 200 referrals for $12 and they are ALL clicking giving approx $1.5 each day. They payout to :) Nice blog btw,keep up the good work.

Well, u all must think i am such an idiot, because i lost 40$ thanks to Probux. Thank a God i am earning on better PTC sites so i compensated my loss. There was something odd about Probux since July 2014 when they shut down Paypal service for mainetance and it get worse and worse since that time and i don’t believe it will get better anymore. I hope that anybody won’t be screwed by this scam provider.
Hello Diego,
I believe it happened to everyone to make bad choice and loose some money on a bad program! ;)
It’s great to hear you are earning well and compensating your loss elsewhere! :)

GUSTAVO GIL PERON why dont u just scratch the balls of all the members u can earn more than u did by cheating them .

i didn’t login in it since april… but before that it was working fine.. as i got my 10$ … through paypal… dont know what happened after that
Hello Satyam,
They were indeed paying at start – they always do so.
But seeing their history, I would definitely avoid joining their next website.
Unless your strategy is “hit & run” and that you don’t refer people in it… :)
Good luck & Thanks for sharing your experience with the website!
All the best, have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Same thing happens to me, as I already told here my views about Probux(Top Scammer.
Also I lost 40$ along with my hard earning. But it’s too good that I never invest here. So it’s their newest policy to shut down this website as all of us getting error messages.
Hello Nirman,
Yes. It looks like everyone is getting those “errors”.
Sorry for your loss, I hope you will compensate that with awesome success on other spots ASAP! :)
All the best & Have a great day,

I was a devoted member of Probux since they began. I accumulated over 300 referrals and had a $20 cash balance. Never once did I ever request a cash-out. Now my account has suddenly disappeared. I wrote 2 emails to Probux support but received NO reply. They have ripped off everyone and become a total scam! I hope the admin chokes on his on vomit. Gustavo bites. I intend to make life as miserable as I can for the jerks responsible.
Hello Bruce,
I understand you, it’s always really annoying when such things happen!
It’s great to build up an account over time,
but when it comes to earning money online on similar program,
I would definitely recommend to never keep “sleeping money” in your account.
Rather be safe than sorry.
Hope you will manage to win back this and way more through other opportunities.
All the best and Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Same problem here bro :/ Fuck Probux.
NeoBux are criminals too. Cash out before it’s too late.
Clixsense is the best PTC but now they can’t pay with PayPal and that will affect their entire operation.
and my account isn’t unactive 90 days
Probux not worth to login into anyway… :)
probux came back but i can’t log in because they say to me that my username and password are incorrect,becuase my account never have hijacked
Hello Guillermo,

four days ago,probux doesn’t work and they say that it’ll be fixed,i think that is bullshit and next days i’ll assume that website is shut down for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!, bunch of scammers probux team!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Guillermo,
Yes. I guess we can definitely assume this is the end.
Even if they come back… payments are OFF.
Good luck and have a great day,

I have been ‘burned’ by Probux, as well, however, just today, they ave started posting a site hat says they are working on it and will be back!
What say you?
Hello Mickey,
As you may have read above my feelings are pretty clear! :)
They are scammers, scammed in past and will keep doing so.
I fear that seeing the site up or down does not matter anymore at this point,
as they are not paying anymore.
Everyone is free to make his own mind and hopes though,
but for me Probux or any other sites they owned, owns or will own in future are a waste of time and money.
Wishing you all the best! :)
Regards,
Tanguy – Incognito007
now probux is shut down :(
I receive a fatal error now trying to reach my account. :D
Well it deserves as no one should be able spend time and money there anymore.
Oh and the front page got spelling errors as well. Right message is: “We’ll be down and shutting soon. We’re just doing some brazilianistic stuff to our hole to make even worse. Sorry for the losses.”
Haha, yeah… Personally, I loved the picture!
This “sleeping worker” display probably in an accurate way how hard they are trying to solve issue last months! ;)

Salut Tanguy !
Impossible de t’écrire par mails, je reçois un message d’erreur à chaque fois, je sais pas pourquoi.

Tu sais ce qui se passe ?
Bonne soirée à toi !

It’s always hard to know in advance which one will remain bulletproof through years to come.
I think the most important is to build up a smart strategy, milking out the BAD ones,
and spreading your risk among those you believe COULD be the good ones.
I would recommend to use at least 4-5 sites, to be sure your global earnings remain at similar level over time.
If needed, you can find a list with the sites I’m currently using at:
https://howtogetref.com/best-ptc/ :)
Have a great day & Lot of success to you!

Same here – invested and lost my money. A bit more than $80 actually. And not the first time I got ripped off by those PTC scam sites. The question is how do I earn with PTC?
Hello,
My advise when it comes to earn from ptc sites,
is to pick carefully 5+ of them to spread the risk. Never put all eggs on the same basket.
There is only few who last for 2+ years
and it’s hard to know in advance which ones will.
Be sure to review them carefully:
Review owner background, check the scheme and giveaways,… :)
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
hello , probux is scam , i also invested 80$ . i m very upset ……
Hello Ajay,
Sorry to hear that! Thanks for sharing your experience,
and all the best! :)
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
I`m using Probux since three months back and renting Refs. but they didn`t pay Refs. balance. and not increasing my balance. they decreased my balance even more… Big Big Big scam….!
stay safe, Good Luck…..
Hello Hamid,
Sad to hear that. Sound like the average is really bad,
but the biggest matter is that they are NOT paying…
Sorry for your loss & all the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
PROBUX IS FAKE AND SCAM SITE
BEWARE FROM IT
That’s for sure. Thanks for sharing your feedback! :)
All the best & Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
hi, i ve been using Probux since 2012. I haven’t invest any money. I have 200 refs but suddenly they stopped paying (it’s been 10 days). Of course i send an email but they did not reply. Very disappointed.
Hello Maria,
Thanks for sharing your experience! :)
The average going down is disappointing,
but since they are not paying anymore it don’t change a lot at this point…
Wishing you all the best,
good that you hadn’t invested money in there :)
Tanguy – Incognito007

I joined this ptc site 6 months ago and i was almost making double the amount i invested.But for 9 days this site looks as it is completely dead.Forum under maintenace for weeks.No progrid winners for God knows how many weeks.And now rented referral clicks.I have $8 dollars in my account.Want to know if I can cashout that money as i have to invest that money in neobux which people say is one of the most trusted.Want to know your opinion on this site.Any help will be much appreciated.Dont think i will get my money now.
Hello Risahbh,
Sadly, Probux is scam. Means you won’t be able to redeem those $8…
Neobux is definitely part of the elite ones (along with clixsense),
I do not rely a lot on rented referrals – which is why Neobux is quite unattractive for me, but it’s just a personal feeling. It’s a good site :)
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
OMG! well since everyone is posting I might as well too. I joined probux last year 2013, didn’t withdraw any money at all and didn’t invest any either. But I gotten through golden through RRs and was earning quite well until last month (September/2014) LOL. To bad really I have $485.50 in main balance LOL. I didn’t lose anything but time, I wasted on this. Thank you for posting this, I should have seen it coming or withdraw earlier, well now it’s abit to late, can anyone tell if NeoBux and Cilxsense worth doing cause these are my two remaining site with me without problems yet!? I don’t want to waste time just like probux. (and I too am not posting anything for you to join me or anything in these websites) I just want to know if its worth the time is all, and again thank you for creating this blog and telling everyone probux is a SCAM.
Hello Fury,
You are welcome. And thanks for sharing your experience.
Neobux have very strict management on rented referrals.
Since it’s backed up with large advertising purchases and money from offers, I believe it is and will remain stable.
Clixsense is even better as they solely focus on advertising and offers (this is the way real business should be built).
Both seems really secure, but anyway I would never recommend to keep hundreds dollars in balance.
It costs nothing to redeem them and doing so, you are sure you secured it! :)
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
I’m so done with PTC sites, I refuse to try any of them except for you know which one. lol I was so mad when one day I was going to cash out and it was unavailable. This is a common thing with these PTC sies. Thanks for putting this out there.
Hello Evelyn,
You are welcome! :)
And yes, it’s always something that turn you upset when such thing happen.
Wishing you lot of success.
Ps. out of curiosity, which is “the one I know”? :D
Neobux, Clixsense or something else? :)
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
how are you sir, I was a novice. so I want to get the correct information about probux. whether probux was no scam and can be believed. explanation please . thanks
Hello Jon,
As explained in the topic above, Probux is a scam.
You are only wasting your time and/or money, if you are still using it!
Good luck.
Tanguy – Incognito007
I feel sorry for the people who got scammed by Probux. There is only one serious Ptc website. I will not mention it here cause I don’t want you to think that I am promoting it through this commnent. It is the only website worth joining and be sure that it will last for ever..
Hello Pavlos,
Seeing your profile link, I guess you speak about Clixsense! :)
That’s indeed the only long term Paid-To-Click I know which don’t use Rented Referrals
which is great to avoid pyramidal scheme… ;)
All the best in there!
Tanguy – Incognito007
You are absolutely right, I must admit. Probux is great scam like Profitclicks. They have no forum any more and they only promise paying, just like PC used to.
My apologies for any contrary opinion.
Hello SoloIcewind,
All opinions are welcome! :)
But yeah, Probux is scam – and days after days everyone one would be forced to admit it…
Thanks for sharing!
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Well, another guy visiting here, who finally got scammed by something. :D
I managed few weeks golden membership, just before it all turned bad. Even still clicking ads, I noticed today that all my 470 referrals has in one row gone inactive. LOL
I didn’t exact lost money there, but still countless hours of clicking since February. The more worse thing of it perhaps, that I’ve ealier contributed to recommending this crap to others. Not so happy about this now.
Right now I’m deciding jumping to neobux or starting some sort of bitcoin currency exchange.
But are something maybe more worth joining to you guys knownledge? (@Tanguy)
I’m willing spend time on 1 to 2 sites.
I am writing you re Probux (which you seem to already know about). The site is back up but no PAYING, NO ACCESS TO FORUM, NO REPLY TO SUPPORT TICKETS, ETC. I have been a member since Dec 2012. Looked so awful good for a long time, even thought I was making real good money. Doesn’t look so good now. SCAMMED
Hello Frank,
Thanks for sharing your feedback.
Personally, I’m 100% convinced about it.
But I know there is still some “optimistic” guys (not sure if we can still call this being “optimistic” at this point :D),
so it’s great to collect more feedback’s – hopefully it will help some people to face reality earlier :)
Wishing you all the best :)
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
hey ,
how can i dispute my account balance from probux?
best regards
Hello Spiros,
You can not dispute account balance amount,
as it’s virtual ones.
You can only dispute your deposits,
in the case your transactions are less than 45 days old.
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
I managed to get mine back from July… Its worth a shot trying for any deposits with them…
Great work Checky! Nice to hear.
And thanks for sharing, it should definitely inspire some people to take action! :)
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Hello Sir,
I am a banker.I STARTED using probux a month ago. I started this because one of my account holder was getting money from it on an average of Rs.60,000 per month. ($600 per month).
He told me so I also started. But reading your blog, I am confused. :(
Also, I have seen other sites having reviews about this probux, they say that it is an OK site. Don’t know what to do :(
Hello Usman,
I can understand your feeling. There was indeed lot of people doing great money in there.
I was chatting with titii77 from time to time in Skype, who was earning nearly $3000 in there.
But nevertheless, Probux was owned by scammers. And it was to be expected it would end that way.
Sad that you lost time and money in there.
I believe most of the reviews you are referring to are old-fashioned (unless there is still few believers out there :D).
But sadly, Probux is not paying since months… and looking the background of the team behind it it’s pretty obvious it won’t change anytime soon.
Wishing you all the best. Let me know how things are going for you!
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
I have received the 2 payments back from Paypal that I disputed… Both were made in July so quite pleased :D
Hello Checky,
That’s great to hear! At least you didn’t wasted money! :)
Thanks for sharing.
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Hi , I lost 10 $ can paypal give it back ? If i open a dispute against gustavo ?Thank you
Hello Yam,
Their Paypal account is suspended. If your transaction is less than 45 days old,
there is quite an high probability you can win this! :)
Most of the people I know, did win their disputes.
But do it asap, because once their frozen reserves hit zero
– I doubt Paypal will pay for the mess from his own pocket! ;)
Good luck and let me know how it goes!
Tanguy – Incognito007
Already many times can’t cash out. My 2 relatives used to click there. Tonight I told them to stop doing it, after I read this article.
Hello Rusev,
You did right. Look like you saved them from wasting more time in there! :)
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
even i click in preferred time at 06:00, 12:00, or 18:00 but still i cannot cashout.. feeling so annoyed..
Hello Kiko,
I can understand that. It’s really sad to see how they played with people’s time and money once more…
I fear you won’t be paid anymore :(
Good luck. Hope you will find a way to recoup your loss asap! :)
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
The only thing I can do now on Probux is clicking ads. Because of many signs that it’s turning scam, I’ve tried to cashout. But everytime I clicked on the button, it always said
“The daily limit for transfers today has been exceeded.
Please try again at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00, or 18:00 server time.”
Even when I clicked at the prefered time.
It’s sad to say but one more evidence “I cannot cashout”.
Hello Tran,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Probably you are wasting time clicking in there,
but it’s up to you! :)
Let me know how things evolve.
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Hello incognito007!
I signed up under you on wealthy affiliates as TheNinjaWooH I wanted to contact you about building my website to promote Paidverts and eventually getting into selling my own t-shirts. I used to use probux until everything went haywire. Who knew Probux was a scam. I didn’t lose much except time and effort. I was fed up with scams and decided to do progress. I made some. Im currently sitting at 30K bap points. Im looking for ways to speed up my earnings. My premium ran out for wealthy affilates so I thought this would be the best way to contact you.
Cheers.
~Andy.
Hello Andy,
Do you have Skype?
If yes, you can add me (id: tanguyhub). I’m quite busy at the moment,
but I would be glad to get a chat about this ASAP! :)
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Something I do not understand why the site PROBUX still works, although the company does not pay for its members, if they have already scam on us. Why do not you shut down the site and leave us from this headache.? But if the company then the problems really are trying to fix it and why take all this time, which is more than four months without even re-Forum to work again, or communicate with its members, as did the site NeoBux at a critical period passed him. The last thing probux is one of the most famous sites PTC has evolved in recent times is fast, and were paid consistently, I mean how all this wasted effort expended in an attempt to steal the members in the last day, something puzzling
Hello Abdel,
It’s simple. And you can see it even in the comments in there.
Some people still trust it. So they keep clicking and/or investing…
It’s not the first time the Probux owner do it that way.
So, I would not compare things with Neobux “trouble time” :)
Thanks for sharing, have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
today probux says:connection is not trust,possibly that site be a phishing or the security certificate is expired for this reason i can’t log in,what´s happening?
Hello Guillermo,
Most probably their SSL certificate expired. The https:// is gone.
Since they have no plan of paying anymore, I guess they don’t care about it…
Let’s see! :)
Good luck,
Tanguy – Incognito007
but the ssl renew again i dont know what probux trying to do , try to cheat or may be his money stuck on disputes :D
Hello Badar,
I know their Paypal is frozen as people who opened disputes told me they had message from Paypal saying:
“Seller unable to reply”.
Concerning SSL, are you sure they renewed it?
I’m still seeing “http://” and unverified connection from here:
http://screencast.com/t/cHc0dhLqMt
:)
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
no idea but i am seeing this http://oi60.tinypic.com/2rnbxuq.jpg may be he is trying to scam people in a unique way :D
Hello Badar,
Strange stuff! :D
No idea why I’m not seeing the SSL certificate from here.
Anyway, the site is pretty useless now… :)
Thanks for sharing & Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
I read that probux is up here but this is not correct ,if you type probux.com ,you will not be able to reach it .Even you reach it,How you can believe and trust .
Hello Ahmet,
From my country (Belgium), the site is up:
Up or Down: http://www.upordown.org/www/probux.com
DNS: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/www.probux.com
Their server is down for you? From which country are you from?
But I 100% agree on the fact that up or down, they are not paying.
So it indeed don’t matter a lot! :)
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
who . know . they pay or not. if pay .when?
Hello Annyyuu,
They are currently NOT PAYING.
Personally, I’m convinced they won’t pay anymore.
But let us know if you manage to request and receive a withdrawal! :)
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
I got to the cashout line about 2 weeks ago. I have been trying to cash out again and again in vain. As you said the “server time” is always eluding me and their forum is off for “little maintenance” all these days. The site is up again but I have lost my trust in it. It can be restored only when they pay me for my hard work of 75 days.
Hello Xavier,
Good luck with that!
I quite doubt they will pay again, but if you manage to be paid – be sure to let us know! :)
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Probux is come back, but not paying.
“The daily limit for transfers today has been exceeded.
Please try again at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00, or 18:00 server time”.
Hello Nata,
Thanks for sharing! :)
Regards,
Tanguy – Incognito007
The site did get me $100+ until it turned dodgy so I didn’t lose anything by joining. You just need to recognise the warning signs and stop clicking when it shows signs of becoming dodgy. The signs were all there back in May when they said they were doing “PayPal maintenance” which is nonsense. Probux has shut down its forum as people were posting warnings about its scam status to new members, so I am currently email bombing Probux daily and recommend others do the same. The only way these people learn is if members keep asking them to shut down their scam site so they don’t fool others.
I agree, there’s where we can do something, expose the site so no one else gets fooled.
Also, I tried today to close my account and there are two clauses (9.4 and 9.5) in the Terms of Service that says that after 30 days of inactivity your account will be temporary suspended and permanently suspended after 60 days of inactivity, and that they will never remove an account under any circumstance even if they are active, canceled or suspended
Hello Karis,
That’s for sure – sooner or later, everyone is going to know about it.
But maybe sharing experiences can help the mass to understand it asap,
it’s cool to read the feedbacks of hundreds people in there! :)
I would not bother about account closure.
If you still have account balance, I would try to convert into ads to get some value out of it.
And then just leave it.
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Actually I was paid by Probux several times, always instantly. I do not know whether they would pay me now again but I’ll make a try as soon as possible. What do you pay tome if I get my money and post a payment proof?
About the bots: almost all PTC-s use them and you know what? They are much more reliable than the lazy real people. I have direct refs in several programs and they perform next to nothing. All of them want to get rich overnight – perhaps they should try to rob a bank rather than trying internet marketing. There they will get shot and calm down for good at least instead of fooling me.
Hello SoloIcewind,
Yes, you can definitely do money if you know what risk you take and join early enough.
As I said, the reason why I don’t do so (next to the fact I hate to support such guy),
is that I’m mostly working with direct referrals and I would have some ethical issue in referring people
to a site which I’m 100% sure was set just to stole people money.
Ps. I agree concerning rented referrals! ;)
Wishing you the best luck with your other earning opportunities.
Tanguy – Incognito007
hey mate, good blog,,
flippo is wrong about many things,, especially moderators things. they r innocent people used to bits by their admin,, why flippo say something like that?
lynch is right they are cruel people in the forum,, i was there i know their stuff
admin among us! that tell much about that ugly pig,, apart from this shame probux went into dark hole
hard luck ptc nobody wants to join anymore
regards
Hello Baharat,
Thanks for sharing your feelings! :)
I agree with you, some of them probably just tried to help a community.
Without being aware of what could be happen next.
Wishing you lot of success in your other online activities.
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
About what Filppo has strongly declared regarding what he/she called partners in crime.
i would disagree to call all what mentioned the label. Yes Probux moderators are known to be very rude and had this oppressive attitude towards members in the forum. but to include others is unfair to say the least.
BigCooper, Draco, Studio7group are to blame for being so negative about anything. You would call them bunch of bum kissers. Now Moonlight wasn’t around for much while, why would Flippo blame him? 4rest and the rest of pro-probux are innocent people. however am not sure about that CleverPigs. That guy lured many members to extend their stay with ProBux. His coming from no where is even more to the point or let me say the mission he sent to achieve. Maybe he was the admin playing god among us. there were many signs about that. i don’t know for sure.
Probux destroyed the hopes for many many people including me. so bad it hurts to the moment.
Flippo is right admin should burn in hell :/
never trust ptc anymore
Hello Baharat,
Thanks for sharing your opinion! :)
I agree with you, some of them probably just tried to help a community.
Without being aware of what could be the output.
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Yes but those mentioned were putting up one cent ads that didn’t pay trying to suck people in as refs. I recommend that if anyone joined under these assholes to report them to the admins of the sites they were promoting. Clearly these idiots are scammers.BigCooper, Draco, Studio7group
Hello Jeff,
That’s interesting. Either they had accumulated large balance before that event,
either they have more access than the usual members… :)
No idea which option is the good one though! :D
If someone have information about this it would be great.
Regards,
Tanguy – Incognito007
I doubt they had any large balances but they may have had a connection with PB. Whenever anyone clicked these 1 cent ads and the counter went to zero it would say the ad expired(as if all the clicks were used up) but the ad would still be up. Many believed that the person who placed the ad was pausing it every 10 or so seconds to get more visits(because if you view the ad and they paused it you wont get credit for viewing and the poster will get more views) PB admin never banned these scammers or even warned them…BigCooper, Draco, Studio7group
Hello Jeff,
Ok. I see. That’s sounds strange indeed!
Thanks for the details! :)
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Now I come back to swear a bit more on probux admin moderators and partners in crime. To enter the hall of shame with rotten carrots in their fat smelly butt holes:
BigCooper
Draco
Studio7group
cleverpigz <- special fuck KOKSUKER
Moonlight
4rest
list continues.. to hell
Please post this they deserve more and I was even considering enough
Hello Flippo,
I wasn’t member at Probux, so I’m not knowing those names neither how deep they were involved in that event.
I had seen that one of the core moderator from Onbux,
suddenly appeared in Emoneyspace forum to promote Probux the day it launched.
So maybe that guy is really close from the team.
Otherwise it’s hard to judge. Sometimes it’s just people that help in managing the forum,
without having any link to the team and their deceptive acts.
No idea! :) But thanks for sharing.
Maybe some folks here have more information about this.
Have a great day,
Tanguy – Incognito007
That scum bag son of a thousand second hand reversed pin wormed ass mons probux admin shall burn in hell with our sweat money. What a fucking sad fuck pig who never had the courage to even show his ugly monstrous face. never trust someone in PTC industry without seeing their stupid assholes in first place to know what kind of shit they have in store for you.
I hope he dies slowly with shame trailing behind his sorry ass. Good riddance useless no hope in life bastard.
Hello Flippo,
You are right, it’s indeed good to know exactly who is behind a program before using it.
But still, it’s to use with caution.
Nowadays, there is some serial scammers who are happily sharing (fake) pictures and names as introduction when they launch their sites.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Regards,
Tanguy – Incognito007
I’ve been suspended on there… I went to Paypal to get funds returned due to the fact it had gone… The fact that I couldn’t open a direct discussion with the user through Paypal and it had to be instantly escalated speaks volumes…
Hopefully Paypal rule in my favour and return funds… I’m not holding my breathe mind you….
Hello Checky,
Most of the people I know on Skype, who were member there and opened dispute – got refunded by Paypal.
So there is hope if you made it properly.
The only other factor is that at one point, there Paypal balance will probably hit zero (as I guess they did cashout to their bank before being suspended by Paypal).
Hope your dispute will be proceeded before that, so that you recover your money! :)
Let me know how things goes!
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Gustavo, what did you do again? Looking a site having difficulties and saying you knew that in advance? Saying that afterwards? No comment. Probux seems to recover anyway.
Hello SoloIcewind,
It’s up to you to support a serial-scammers or not.
But nothing is wrong in willing to share the truth! :)
Sorry if you can’t handle it (yet), but facts are there.
This being said, thanks for sharing your feelings (and hopes).
Let me know when you get paid, ok? ;)
Ps. I was indeed a known fact since its start.
For example, see this picture from 2013:
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img23/8483/y4ji.png
Good luck.
Tanguy – Incognito007
you can get all the details to paypal if you to do some action.
The address house number.IF you want,
Yes, that’s for sure! :)
Paypal is usually helpful on such issues.
Especially through phone.
They won’t be able to help directly for transactions older than 45 days,
but they definitely can provide you required data to take action elsewhere.
Thanks for sharing! :)
Tanguy – Incognito007
my RR clicked last weak when site was offline worldwide that’s also stopping me from trusting them :/
Hello Taarzan,
Yeah. That’s the power of bots! :D
They are always there to click when they are told to do so!
Good luck.
Tanguy – Incognito007
I’ve wasted whole year on probux :( I’m golden now and have 800 rr, they r back but cant be trusted but i cant stop clicking atfter working that hard. lets hope they start paying..
Hello Taarzan,
Sad to hear that!
And you are right, they keep coming online and offline!
I doubt they will pay any time soon, but good luck :)
Have a great day,

Hi everybody,
Great news today ! Probux is come back ! So, I don’t know if it is serious but I have begun to click my ads today !
Hello Cleroy,
Thanks for sharing.
At this point, I can only reply: Good luck! :)
You know my feeling about this (Probux is scam),
and I explained in details the reasons why in the blog topic.
+ You got nearly one hundred testimonials on this topic to confirm things.
Nothing more I can say! :D
Let me know if you manage to withdraw in days, weeks, years,… to come ;
will be glad to celebrate with you.
Are you far away from the withdrawal threshold?
All the best,
Tanguy – Incognito007
Funny, probux.com is up and running again.
Still think it is a bogus PTC.
Hello TRASHBARG,
Yes, I noticed this too!
But as you said, it’s not changing a lot as they are NOT paying.
I was quite surprised to see it down, as they probably still collect money from optimistic people that keep clicking, advertising and spending their money blindly.
Well… :)
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day,
