We are moving FoiBux the Watch List to the Scam List. Complaints about the admin not responding support tickets, non-payments, and their paypal now showing limited. See "cons" section for more info.

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://foibux.com/forum/

2. Paying - They are paying and payment proofs can be found on the forum and throughout the web. Here are a few places where you can view these proofs:

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.

CONS:

1. PayPal Limited? - It appears so and several are waiting for an update from the admin about the problem.

2. Non-Payments - Site is not paying within their own terms. People complaining about Payza (formerly known as AlertPay) payments are not being sent out anymore.

3. Inactive Admin - Moderators and members are not receiving any response from the admin. Support tickets are being neglected and unanswered.

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.

5. 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.

6. Buggy Site - All sites will have down times and bugs.This is a GeN4 site, so expect a few bugs and glitches. Most GeN4 sites have problems with false account suspensions. If your account is suspended due to clicking on a forum link or by doing a normal task, be sure to contact the site so they can fix your account. This is the number one bug complaint we receive about GeN4 sites.
