Full Review/ Site History

Moving the site from the Watch List to the Scam List. Site appears to have been sold yet there is no news or introduction from the owner. The ads have changed and they are showing nothing but 1 cent ads. 22 of them!  Not a good sign. Also standard members are complaining they are not getting paid and there is very little support coming from the site. Site will remain on the Scam List till all members are paid their earnings according to their own terms.

November 28, 2010: Site is for sale (as well as their sister site Clixil) and there is no warning or announcement about the sale on the forum (prior to the sale).

The site will be moved to the Watch List since the owner failed to warn members about the sale. The auction can be viewed here:

Dear members, I have bad news PayPal Frozen our account today, as per PayPal they are asking for more information about our activity, there are no specific reason to do that!!! I have contact them and call them and nothing happened, our PayPal account is business Verified and all documentation was submitted to them. So Paypal will not be available for some time or Maybe for long time, so I will keep going and never give up , as you know 70% of our Fund are on PayPal, so this is will effect on many payments. I need your cooperation during this bad situation, and please be patient I will do my best to solve this problem.
