NesBux is a new "bux" site that has recently launched and will be moved from the Watch List to the Scam List. Site is showing signs of non-payments and other issues. See "cons" for more info. Here re the pros and 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.nesbux.com/forum.php
2. Direct Referrals Limits - Currently pioneer members (The first 10,000 members) can have up to 300 direct referrals. Great for promoters and those who can refer a lot of people.
3. All Countries Accepted - So far there are no restrictions and all can join and earn from this site. Will update if this changes.
CONS:
1. Non-Payments & Cashout Problems - We have been monitoring this site for many days now and and the cashout problems seem to be not be improving, but getting worse. You will find many complaints about the cashout being disabled.
2. Security Disabled? - Received a claim that the site does not have their PTCEvo security fully enabled. People are able to make as many accounts without the site noticing it. Could be that the owner does not care, not aware of it, or it is some kind of bug.
Also there is suspicion that their paypal account was limited. So far the site is showing alertpay only in their payment proofs. Recently they had to refund payments that they received, stating it was due to an upgrade made on the script. However if you check their paypal, it is showing a different email from before.
Their new paypal account is showing unverified: (Source) (Source#2) (Source #3) (Older account)
For now we are monitoring the situation, if we find that the site is hiding these facts from members we will change their status and place them on the Watch List, if not worse.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Rate Per Click - Rate per click is not displayed correctly on the ads page. This will cause confusion and many think it is a bug. However the currently click rate Pioneer/Standard is half of what is being displayed. Meaning $0.01 = $0.005 .
