 ****SCAM site, use caution ****

ConBux will be added to the Scam List and here are the combined reasons why:

1. Owned by a Scammer -  Thanks to an anonymous tipster, we found out this site is ran by a previous scam site owner. This site owner is the same owner of Eu-Bux and WillBux. Both are on our scam list for non-payments.

Eu Bux (eu-bux.com) - SCAM

 

WillBux (willbux.com) - SCAM

If you check the whois you will find that the owner name is Madaras Laszlo.

(he set it to private after this info was revealed)

Check Eu-Bux company registration and you will find the names match:

You can also find them on PTCPay forum:

I also like to add that we were just sent a link to their personal blog showing eu-bux and conbux banners showing with no ref link. A picture sometimes can speak a thousand words... 

First image, of conbux with no ref link

Second image of eu-bux banner with no ref link. Which was later removed after we disclosed this info here.

Also same ideal-banners.com being displayed on conbux.

Third image is what you get when you click on the paypal button:

Fourth image.. finally a referral link found. And look it is from no other than "lacimotor"

3. A "Bux" Site - This type of ptc has a very high fail rate. Most "bux" sites go scam under 6 months, if not within a year. Most rely on upgrades and rental purchases rather than actual advertisers. A typical "bux" site will show fixed/self-sponsored ads, sell rentals, and have a higher rate per click. This type of business model is not very successful and unsustainable, which is probably why most "bux" sites fail.

4. New Site - We do not recommend investing or buying upgrades on new sites. For at least 6 months, if not a year. If you can't wait that long, at least test and get paid first before you decide to invest.

The main reason why we see this as a downside is due to the large number of new sites that go through many sudden changes during their first 6 months. Changes anywhere from rates per click, payment processor issues (paypal limitations), and payment wait times. New sites notorious for changing their terms. Why we do not recommend investing on new sites.

ConBux might pay at the start but it will eventually end like the last two sites, a scam. We would not recommend this site for the reason previously described. You were warned...

We will continue to monitor this site. If anyone would like to share their experience that they had with this site, whether it is good or bad, feel free to do so in our comment section at the end of this review.

Please note, the information in the review was posted at the time and date from above. If the site changes its policies, please kindly let us know in the comment section and we will update or change the incorrect information as soon as we can.
