Adbux.org - SCAM

We are advising against anyone joining Adbux, mainly due to it's history and what is said about Adbux on the web.

If you google search "Adbux Scam" you will find what we are talking about.



This is not our only reason, after looking at the site and doing a little research ourselves we found some major flaws with Adbux.

No Forum - PTC sites that don't have forums, should be in question. Many scam ptc sites will not welcome a forum where members can gather and share their experience with a site. I did a search to see if there was a forum on Adbux, and there once was a forum on adbux. Here is what one member said:
It says on their blog there was to much negativity and fighting on the forum so they took it down.
Adbux has really gone downhill bigtime. I still have not received my payment yet that has been pending for over a month and they froze new payout until July plus there is only 1 to 2 ads a day on there now. I don't think they will be around much longer. Source

Also the blog that this user has described is no longer up and running.

Not Found
The requested URL /blog was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


Whois Private - Another clue. Owners that set their name and location set to private are bound to take off with the money and run. If you don't have nothing to hide, then why hide?

Earn Points to View Ads - On adbux you earn points to view ads. I personally don't like this system. It is kind of decieving to users, and we are not visiting this site to earn points as if we are playing a game, we are there to make money. I know many sites use this system, or both. From Adbux:
Advertisers will pay you, as a consumer, to look at websites that interest you. We have three different ad types with a variety of different prices so, the points you earn will vary with each view. Your point earning potential increases if you use our Affiliate program. With every friend that you refer to AdBux, you can earn increase point value.

Again, we are not there to earn points. If points mean cash, then why not say this in the first place? I guess points sound better than cents. And how many points do you get for viewing each ad? 0.0033 =0.0033 cents. That does not sound too enticing, does it.

Bad reputation - According to some sites adbux is owned by one Chad French who had a scamming site called netbux.org. A site that left members scammed. And from what I am reading a lot like bux.to, if not it's twin.


From all what we have learned we can not suggest this site to anyone. We deem it as a scam and a high risk site. Be very cautious when dealing with this site and any new site that is made by this owner. Here are some links that will go into more detail.
