4. Watch Out for Scams



The scam rate for bux sites is very high – it feels as if everyday, a bux site becomes a
scam, and in the same day, another bux site is born. In this field, you need to take certain measures to protect yourself from being scammed. The good news is that when
a site is becoming a scam, there are certain tell-tale signs that indicate as such. Usually
these signs are pretty obvious, so we will list them out for you.


Signs of abandonment

If the admin does not answer questions on the forum, or if there are broken links or
errors on the site, and they are not being fixed, these are signs of abandonment. Maybe
the admin has given up on the site, so watch out for these signs.

Many complaints

If a site has many complaints against it, pay close attention, because the users are not
happy. Use google to find out more information – we suggest typing the site’s name
followed by the word scam. For example, try “onbux scam” – you’ll never know if the
results are what you expected.

Being picky with payments

If a site pays certain members, but does not pay others, that is a big red flag. It probably
means they are running out of money, so they can only pay a small amount of members.
Many bux sites rely on ads and upgrades for funds, and if the funds run out, then they
will not be able to pay its members. If you have a pending cash out and have not
received your payment yet, then send a support ticket and see what happens. Hopefully
they are just having delays – but always expect the worst case scenario.

Problems with Paypal & Alertpay

The whole point of joining a new site is to cash out, right? Then what if you can’t,
because the site is having problems with Papyal or Alertpay? If that happens, that is a
red flag, an indication that the site is going downhill.
