DashBux (dashbux.com) - SCAM

• Reason For Review: Requests - January 2011 | Archive
  
• Review Last Updated: ***February 13, 2011
  
• Owner/Alias: "Hasif Haron" from Malaysia | "Norian Binti Abu Mansor" (paypal)
  
• Current Whois: http://whois.domaintools.com/dashbux.com

  Site is back online again after disappearing for weeks. There is no announcement from the owner or staff. Site will remain on the scam list till further notice. See "cons" section for more details.

Here are the pros & cons of this site:

PROS:

1. Forum - This site does have a forum. Forums are great for communication between members and staff. Members can post payment proofs, get support, and stay up to date on changes made to the site. You can find their forum here: http://www.dashbux.com/forum/

2. Direct Referrals Limits - Currently standards can have up to 100 direct referrals. Great for promoters and those who can earn their own referrals. However this could make the site unstable. Especially if what the upgrade page says is true. That is increases by 100 each 10 days. Most likely this will be changed and will update when we know more.

3. All Countries Accepted - So far there are no restrictions and all can join and earn from this site. Will update if this changes.

4. Secondary Password & Pin- You have the option of creating a secondary password to protect your account. Which is highly recommended that you use this option.

After you join you will also be required to create a cashout pin. Make sure it is different too. Don't be a fool and use your bank account pin that you use for your personal bank account. Create a unique 4 digit pin and write it down somewhere if need be.

5. Low Minimum Cashout - This site showing minimum cashout is currently at $1. Which should be a easy target to reach and cashout with. 

CONS:

1. Site Down For Weeks - Site is back online again after disappearing for weeks. There is no announcement from the owner or staff. Site will remain on the scam list till further notice

 2. Cashouts Closed - Recently, only upgraded can cashout and all other cashouts are pending. It has been reported that the owner is in Egypt. Currently their country is experiencing a communication black out due to recent events and turmoil.

3. Buggy Site - GeN4 sites, notorious for bugs. And their bug report thread on the forum is full of complaints and issues. Ranging from referral links not working properly to ads not resetting.

4. Matrix/HYIP ? - Looking at the forum you will see a discussion where the owner is suggesting that he might add a matrix or hyip feature to their site. Bad news if they do this. Against paypal's policy and terms to use their services on such a site. Most experienced owners know this.

5. Redirects  - Those who are from North America and Western Europe will experience a redirect to a search engine when you first load the site. Check the site script and embedded is "trafficrevenue". Most will not have this problem since it only targets visitors from certain locations, but for some of us it is annoying to be redirected to a site that you did not intend to visit.

6. 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.
