Electronic Money Making

Prowling Panther pays the Second time!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 02:17:00 +0000

The PTC/PTR Site Prowling Panther has paid me the second time around. This time with $1.52. Well, it was supposed to be $1.54 but since there is a $0.02 fee for the cashout request, there is a slight deduction. Anyways, this site pays within a couple of hours so I guess it's OK. Check my payout proof below..

Also note that I don't even have a downline. This is purely my own individual earning. Now just try to imagine what if you have downlines? That's right! We are talking of some good make money site. Try it out, it rocks!

Retobux was hacked!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 18:30:00 +0000

For those who have no idea as to what happened to Retrobux, a PTC site who had just launched and gained a rating of 7.35 from Uronlinebiz (a respectable PTC info site), here's some bad news for all of you.

The site Retrobux, according to our reliable sources, was hacked on June 10th. Before the said hacked date, however, we already found some anomaly on the site like our upline who was Phil101 (Uronlinebiz's writer) changing into somebody else, then, a few days later, ads suddenly disappear and we were left with nothing to click.

Now with regards to Uronlinebiz's rating, it looks like the 7.35 score was a mistake as this site was rumored to have been run by the scammer, Alex Davies, who ran the scam sites Agebux, and Directbux in the past.

Now, we cannot confirm if this site is a scam as of this time, but we believe the truth will come out eventually.

CoinMachine hacked?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 14:46:00 +0000

The PTC site CoinMachine had announced and claimed that they were hack and got their database altered.. here is the email from new CoinMachine admin, Justin.

--------------------------
Hello,

Some Of You Noticed That The Site Was Down Randomly Yesterday. We Had A Hacker Break In To The Site and Create Thousands Of Dollars Worth Of Ads and Alter Some User Data. Before Leaving The Hacker Erased All User Earning Information ( Most Of Witch Was Fake ) and Insured We Couldn't Back Up Recent User Data.

What This Means For You:

Because We Can't "Figure Out" How Much Each User Had and Can Not Use A Database That Is Missing Over 300 Members That Is A Month Old Everyone's Earnings Are Back To: $0.00

We Are Sorry That Everyone Has Lost Their Earnings, but There Is Nothing We Can Do. We Have Discovered The Flaw That Was In Our Script and Have Fixed It So That This Will Never Happen Again. Also We Will Be Instituting More Layers Of Security In The Future.
--------------------------

When I logged into the site, I noticed that my cashout request of $0.27 was canceled and was never returned to my earnings. While the admin says his sorry, I am also sorry to say that we can no longer trust this site. There are some anomalies with regards to this incident.

Something's Fishy!

Following Josh Rodarte's farewell, we have found some unusual changes on the site that lead us to predict its eminent downfall. The first changes were the sudden increased in ads, and earning potential for members. We have doubts that the PTC site had been throwing ads from BlackGold PTC for free, thus, doubling his advertisers chances to get visitors for the same cost, but disregarding his member's efforts. The move of suddenly claiming a hack was to be expected. This claim will free the admin from responsibility and excuse him for inability to pay. While this opinion is just a personal opinion, we still feel that it was the admin's responsibility to protect the site from any attacks. Well, this hack thing has not happened while Josh Rodarte was still in-charge, so we highly suspect that something's fishy is really going on.

To support this opinion, we found a message straight from Josh Rodarte himself.. here is the link:
http://talkptc.com/forum/index.php?topic=1767

As you can see, even the former admin was having doubts of the new admins suspicious actions.

We will keep investigating on this site, but for now, we will remove it from the Paying Sites List. Looks like a Red Flag has been raised.

Orangebizs pays again!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 07:51:00 +0000

The site PTC/PTR site Orangebizs paid me again, now on its second paying spree. And yes, we can say that this is one of the legitimate sites on the net. To prove that I'm not just endorsing my referral link, here's the proof..

Click picture to enlarge

It's a great site with plenty of cash links to click. The pay is not that big compared to other PTC sites but their sincerity could justify for it. Anyway, which is much better, a high paying site that delay payments or a small payer that pays on time?

CoinMachine.info: Last payment from Admin Josh

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 06:47:00 +0000

Josh, the admin of CoinMachine had sent me his last payment, this was a day after the announcement regarding CoinMachine.info's turn over to a new admin.

Here is my proof of payment..

Click on picture to enlarge

As you can see on the screenshot... this was Josh's last message..

---------------------------
"Hey everyone. I had fun being your administrator. Seems I wasn't cut out for the long-term administration, but I did learn a lot of things.

Take care everyone, this will be the last payment from me, so enjoy it!"
---------------------------

Hopefully, CoinMachine will continue to pay its members, now that it has a new admin on board. We'll continue to watch this site, and see where it leads. But for now, I just wanted to say that this was my 5th payment from one of the sites I came to like.

Bux.to Sunday Bonus

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 07:18:00 +0000

The leader of the PTC industry, Bux.to, has announced last month that there will be more ads to click on every Sundays. The announcement was followed by a growing number of ads on the site every Sundays, just as it was announced. Today, we found 17 ads on the site, and with each ad worth 1 cent, we could grab a nice 17 cents for the day, excluding referral earnings.

This is a great Sunday bonus. Bux.to looks as if its trying to give its members a taste of what its like to be an upgraded member. This move may help bring more people to the site, and may convince non-premium members to upgrade. It could also suffice the growing frustrations over delayed payouts, though one could still wonder if its really worth to upgrade amidst the problems over payout.

The Bux3 Network turning into scam?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:22:00 +0000

We have found some unusual activities going on with the Bux3 Network, the same network responsible for Bux3.com, Bux3.net, World-bux.com, Traffic-masters, Extreme-bux, Extreme-ads, Extreme-earnings, Masterclicks, Moneycycler, Alertpayrandomizer, and Max-PTC. It had been rumored that the owner, Ronnie, had been creating too many sites to help finance his failing network, and has started to scam people by taking in people's money through upgrades and referral sells from some of his sites then disappear only to make a new one.

The Bad Sites

Traffic-masters and Extreme-bux are two of those sites that suddenly disappeared without a hint.

The site Traffic Masters set their TOS to must upgrade in order to get paid, then it disappeared. Leaving those who upgraded, with their jaws hanging.

There were also unhappy members at Extreme-bux, who are complaining about their purchases and payments. And, since the site vanish, they were left with nothing to earn.

The site Masterclicks seemed to have also followed the Traffic-masters scheme and is now requiring you to upgrade in order to get paid. There is no assurance that it will not follow the footsteps of its sister site though.

Rumor has it that the site Moneycycler, another one of Ronnie's sites, does not cycle at all.

There had already been a lot of bad sites coming from the Bux3 network. The sites mentioned above are just examples of it.

Ronnie the Scammer?

We do not know why the once popular and legitimate Bux3 Network had resorted to scam. But according to our sources, Ronnie is starting new sites to finance the main sites, if that is true, then it certainly looks like the Bux3 Network is running out of funds and is starting to crumble down.

No-Minimum $400 Spam

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 17:36:00 +0000

I would like to warn everyone about the No-minimum spam mails, distributed by those internet losers who could not earn anything without cheating and swindling people. The email looks like this...

Click on picture to enlarge

Apparently, this email will direct you to a phishing site owned by a scum who eats dirt for breakfast. Do not fall for these low Intellects. No-minimum does not give $400 without any reason, no site does and no site will, except for scam sites of course.

Aha! Scam!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 15:46:00 +0000

Ahacash.com is another one of those unsustainable scams that are still active on the net today. The design of the site looks as if it was made by a noob, and resembles that of an old DOS operating system. To add insult to the injury, the site revealed itself even more with an unbelievable offer of 5, 20, and 50 cent per mail read BS. The advertising package on the other hand is cheap as what you'll always expect from a site operating as a scam.

Aha scam is not the place to make money online, as the only money you'll earn here is a play money.

CoinMachine.info under new ownership

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 05:37:00 +0000

Just recently, the PTC Site, CoinMachine.info was transferred to a new owner named Justin, the very same admin who runs the PTC Site Black Gold PTC. And while there are rumors that the PTC site no longer pays, the admin stated that this issue is not true, and he pays every Tuesday.

The reason why the former admin Josh Rodarte left was beyond us, though the site's slow growth could be one of the reasons. But, his departure will surely be missed. Gotta say this for the man, he knows how to make an exit. He had managed to maintain his good name and reputation to the end, and while he departs CoinMachine, he departs with a good title. Honesty and integrity is what he demonstrated on CoinMachine, and all of that will be remembered. He was not at all defeated as people will continue to remember his good name.

The new admin also seems promising. This guy seemed to be equip with experience since he was Blackgold PTC's admin afterall. The first thing he does on CoinMachine was raised the earning potential for all members. From 10% referral earnings, he raised it to 25%. There are some changes on the ads too. You may notice that some of the usual ads were gone and replaced with new ones. The ad earnings seemed to have raised as well. We figured out that this was a way to attract more members, and with more members comes more advertisers.

Gea.theynatural.com: Canadian Pharmacy Scam!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 19:37:00 +0000

I got more updates on the Canadian Pharmacy scam that had been trying hard to promote itself through botnets. It seems that the scam has not died out, and had been acting violently these last few weeks, and if not for the anti-spam filters, we would have already been drowned from the flood of these unsolicited emails. Today, I've discovered another link from one of the spam mails that points to the same scam. They seem to have use a subdomain this time, but the main domain is still Canadian Pharmacy scam. The subdomain is gea.theynatural.com, a scam site that sells cheap medicines at the risk of your health and money. Do not let these crooks fool you.. they are cheaters!

Unfortunately, the reason why spammers are still around is because of the fact that the net never runs out of suckers. As long as there are people to fool, the bad guys will always survive.

4bux is no more!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 18:11:00 +0000

It has only been a few days since we criticized this site, and who could have thought that the results were immediate?

Today, I've heard from one of our news sources that the PTC site, 4bux.info, has closed down and leave a statement that's surprisingly similar to Paid.vg, a PTC site that also failed the contest.

This is what's left on the 4bux.info site..

4bux.info...

It's been a short, fun, and hectic 2.9 months. However my recent plan to turn the site into a premium member only site has failed. My intentions for doing so were to keep the site from going bankrupt and to always be able to pay the members, however this was met with a lot of criticism. Many people around the internet are calling 4bux.info a scam which has ruined its reputation and I do not see it ever returning to its original state. If I tried to return it to the old 4bux, it wouldn't be the same, it would only last another month at most and fall apart. I was too nice, $0.02 clicks and $500 payouts were not working for the site structure. Part of the problems occurring from a faulty database transfer, resetting balances to zero, and a bad time to do a site change. A premium member based PTC could produce a pretty powerful PTC site, but at the same time it's a PTC site. Because of that I'm going to have to agree with the former owners of Paid.vg, PTC sites simply are a terrible business model, they don't work. They can never balance because getting advertisers is nearly impossible, no one wants to buy 1,000 visitors for $19.99. If you look around the web you can find 1,000 quality visitors for $6.95.

That said, I'm sure you can figure out what is happening to 4bux.info. The site is closing, effective immediately. Anyone who bought a membership, referrals, or advertising on the "new" 4bux.info will be refunded. Both standard and premium members will be receiving payments anyone who does not receive a payment is to abide by ToS bullet number 8.

"8) There is a possibility that 4bux.info can NOT pay its members."

While this isn't the choice I'd like to use, all members registered under these terms of conditions. Payments will be sent out over the next few hours. Also, to anyone even slightly interested in running a PTC site. Do NOT, it's a terrible idea. The sites don't balance enough and are risky. To members looking to purchase something off a new PTC site. Look around if they advertise on other sites, they may be trustworthy because they are spending money. Don't buy anything off a new and unprofessional/cookie cutter looking web site. I will probably never run a site like this again.

It's been fun. 4bux.info Is No More

With this said.. he exits.. what an irresponsible admin.

The business model sucks?

Not at all, the PTC model is not the best model for advertisers as far as quality visitors are concerned, but this advertising model could guarantee some larger hits compared to the standard PPC model used by giant companies such as Google and Yahoo. Moreover, it ensures instant traffic, so PTC are still an alternative advertising model that's still attractive for advertisers even up to now. The only problem is the competition among PTC sites.. New PTC sites come out every now and then, and this somehow splits the stream of advertisers. So, what happens is that the competition turns out to be a survival of the fittest type, and the best PTC stays! Unfortunately for 4bux.info, they get left behind, and without proper experience and skills, the business model will really press on them, but then again, there is no business model that's 100% perfect.

What determines every business model is the way it is being handled. As a businessman, you have to know what business model you are adept at, you should know how to utilize it, you should understand how it works, and you should know its weaknesses. Unfortunately, 4bux didn't know how to steer the model and that's the main reason why it failed.

Irresponsibility of the Admin

Paid.vg and 4bux admin shares a common trait. Both are irresponsible! Blaming a model that works on their control is an act of escaping responsibility. Note that the model does not work on its own as if its some kind of automated process. It rests upon the control of the admins. How it works is determined by the admins' proficiency. If they are not skilled or diligent enough, things could really turn bad for them. So who's to blame? The PTC model that worked to some PTC Sites, or an admin who failed in the PTC business model? Well, as far as I know, there is no PTC site if there is no admin behind it.

Promises are made to be broken

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 18:54:00 +0000

I would like to tell everybody reading this blog to watch out for liars in the net. Believe me, there are plenty of them. And just to convey my warning, here's a personal experience I would like to share..

I had joined under a woman from Portugal, who promised to pay an additional dough if you make her enough clicks on certain PTC sites. She uses the username Holly2007 most of the time, and you can find her joining on almost every PTC site you can find in the web, including scam sites. She has this blog entitled Making Free Money Online, which I find interesting at first. So, I contacted her to set up an agreement, and she told me that everything's listed on the site. So, I browse a little and found the conditions and this is what it contains..

The time has now come to start rewarding my new refs...

To all new refs who sign-up under me at these websites, I will pay $1.50 for every 200 clicks.

This reward will be paid through AlertPay.

All new refs (starting from today, March 30th 2008), should contact me when they reach the 200 clicks, tell me which website it's for and give me their AlertPay address, so I can send your reward.

This offer applies to all websites, except for Bux.to and DailyClicks, on which I will pay you $1.50 after 350 clicks.

Please contact me at: get_paid_to_click@sapo.pt

Remember: Being an active ref for me comes with a reward!

Well, I did believe the BS, and decided to give it a try, after all, this is a lady, I thought to myself.

The Lie!

I was wondering why she offers to pay $1.50 for 200 clicks on any site, including those that fall behind the $0.01 per ad click quota or below the 100% referral earning, without even considering that she'd lost the deal, but, when I meet her conditions, I found the reason..

When I try to contact her through the email she provided on her site, I could no longer contact her. It seems she tries to evade me now.. I searched for her and I found all her mud tracks scattering all throughout the web. Using the dirt she left, I manage to get to her, but she now refuses to communicate. Well, now that she has earned from me, she now chooses to ditch me, and I believe, I am not the only one who was treated this way.

Now, just when I thought I could trust a woman, I found myself falling to another liar's tactic. Fortunately, I didn't upgrade on any of the sites she'd recommended, so it was easy for me to withdraw from these sites. While I don't mind joining under total strangers and help them out, which I had done in the past, I don't like being lied, so she became an exception. Upon lying, I immediately stopped being her referral. I said to myself, why should I help someone who has betrayed my trust? And while I can't call her a scammer, she is somewhat close to being like one since she promotes her trickster site on the web.

Justifying the lies!

There could be reasons as to why she never responds. It's either she don't have the money or intends to leech people from the start. Let's assume she couldn't afford to pay as she had promised, well, she could have just, at least, respond and tell the truth. However, she chooses to ignore. Such bad attitude doesn't deserve a good referral. And it's really sad that she had to lie to people just to earn money. Well, guess what.. bad begets bad, and there's no justification for this act.. to me, she is just another example of those selfish greedy people, who had more to lose than to gain.

Also note that she join scam sites, so I strongly suggest everybody not to follow her.. Do not get tempted by her offers. All of it are just BS. I had seen them so I know.. I could only hope that everybody learns from my mistake. That's the purpose of this blog anyway.

To Holly2007..

If you think you can fool everybody around, well, not me sister! You are no longer getting any clicks from me.

4bux gone mad!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 18:37:00 +0000

4Bux.info has resurfaced after a sudden disappearance that lasted for a few days. Apparently, the site looks as if it had changed script, and with it comes some new rules that's both shocking and disappointing to old members.

The new 4Bux.info site isn't the same as it use to be. There are some changes that made old users unhappy about it. The first among the issues is the sudden change from a free PTC site to a Premium only PTC site. Meaning, you won't get paid if you don't upgrade. Another thing is deletion of accounts. The TOS of this site permit them to delete accounts at will, but it's kind of unfair for them to do this after people clicked their ads. Now, they are asking people to sign up and start from zero again, which is of course, very unlikely, now that people know what this site is capable of doing.

The TOS Sucks!

We don't know what push this site to change rules, but the site seems to be doing this only to protect itself. While upgrading does elicit some loyalty, it's not always to the benefit of the member. There is one rule in 4bux's TOS that really sucks.. this rule..

8) There is a possibility that 4bux.info can NOT pay its members.

One may wonder if this site is really capable of paying, now that they are for premium members only. Upgrading, however, does not really ensure that you always get paid, and with this rule in place, they look as if they try to render themselves free from accountability, in case they screw up.

4bux in demise?

The offers on this site isn't really eye catching, add the fact that they are a premium only site, and with only 142 members. We are wondering if they would be able to attract enough advertisers to advertise on the site. While all members are upgraded members, this does not guarantee that they are all quality hits.

With the competition going around, it's kind of odd for 4bux to worsen their offers. We could be seeing this site's demise, yet, who knows if this business strategy would work for the better. Only time will tell, but for us, we are done with this site.

No more Paid Ads for Adverbux

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 30 May 2008 02:19:00 +0000

Recently, the former PTC/Offers Site, Adverbux, has moved out of the PTC industry. As you can see, they no longer accept PTC advertisers and no longer has this Paid ad feature in their system.

The site has now focused its efforts on Offers such as Paid to Sign Up, Paid to play flash games, and Manual Traffic Exchanges. While these offers are still going to earn you money, only the Flash games could really earn you a daily income. The Paid to Sign Up features offers some promising high pays but you have to make some extra effort before you can avail them (ie. Sign Up under a referrer on a particular site and click a number of ads), and it's going to take you from days to weeks. Sometimes, you may need to remind the sponsor for them to credit you, and sometimes you may need to fight for it. The Manual Traffic Exchange is still a neat feature for advertisers, unfortunately, it could become bounced hits in a few days.

The outcome for this move is still uncertain, and there's no telling whether it will work for the best or will pull Adverbux down, but only time will tell if it's going to work out. So far, the Alexa rating isn't going good for this site.

Phishing for Adwords

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 23 May 2008 03:05:00 +0000

Over these past few weeks, spam emails seemed to have increased significantly. Probably because the lame fraudsters are not making enough money or maybe they are suffering from lack of attention lately. Perhaps, but these good for nothing fraudsters never run out of cheap tricks. And just recently, those Bolan****s from China had unleashed another Phishing scam through spam mails. Their target.. Adwords advertisers. And while we admire the Chinese for their ingenuity in handling businesses, we can't neglect the fact that some of them are losers, who can't do anything good except for making the Chinese reputation on the web look bad.

The spam email contents look like they are coming from the Google Adwords program. Although they include typos, many small business owners advertising on Google Adwords wonder if this phishing emails are real.

Using Uronlinebiz's screenshots, here are the four different ways how scammers target their victims..

CoinMachine's New Addon Script

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 19 May 2008 23:24:00 +0000

One of the legitimate sites, CoinMachine.info, has recently incorporated a new addon script on their site. This new addon has changed the surfing experience for the better as you wouldn't need to open and close a new browser anymore.

What is does is open a frame on the same page. Advertisers could still get their view while the timer counts down because the users are still free to browse the advertiser's site. At the end of the count down timer, the surfer will still undergo a security check, in which the user is asked to select the correct answer among the choices inside the frame. If the surfer picks the correct answer, the frame will remain, but will have the option to either close the site or continue browsing. If the Close option is picked, the frame redirects the user to the CoinMachine site, where he could proceed on the next ad. So far, this feature has been implemented on the PTC section, but have not been implemented on the PTR (Pay to read) section yet. There have been no word from our good admin if there are plans to install this addon to both sections, but he's currently beta testing it if it suits the users' satisfaction.

So far, CoinMachine is the only PTC/PTR site running on aurora script that uses this feature. CoinMachine's admin, Josh Rodarte, seems to really care about his members and affiliates, evidenced by his dedication to this project. He endeavors to do everything he could to make our stay on the site a pleasant one.

No-minimum.com does pay!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 19 May 2008 00:53:00 +0000

No-Minimum is a PTC/PTR site owned by the MoneyMoneyGroup. The same group that owns Donkeymails. A legitimate site that is 2 yrs. old already. The administrator of this site is Guy Eisenga and Sebas Broekhof. Both are well known for their honesty.

I have joined this site for 2 mos. already and since I'm working alone, it kinda took me some time before I could finally reach my paypal cashout at $1. The payout procedure, however, didn't take a week, and in just few days time, I received my payment. Here's my payment proof..

Click on picture to enlarge

And thus proves that the MultiMoneyGroup, is indeed a legitimate business group.

What this Site Offers

• New Paid to Promote $0.65 per 1,000 Credits!
• Paid to Click
• Paid to Read e-mails
• Get Paid To Signup!
• No Minimum Payout on e-gold!
• Use our ManualSurf for more traffic!
• Low Payout for Paypal ($1.00)

It uses the same classical incentive base system as with Donkeymails. The tried and true method proves to be very stable compared to the new generation PTC systems, meaning, this business has a higher survival rate, and has less chances of collapsing. The only drawback is the low income earning. However, if you are looking for cash, and at the same time, traffic, this is one of the sites that we could recommend.

Identity Theft Emails

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 18 May 2008 23:46:00 +0000

Have you been a victim of Identity Theft? You may never know, someone on the Internet may already been impersonating you and has been using your identity to cover up their dirty schemes. You may wonder, how did they manage to obtain your information? I'll explain how..

Identity Thief by definition is a fraudulent act that involves stealing money or getting other benefits by pretending to be someone else. Of course, if you were the victim, you could suffer various consequences as you will be held responsible for the perpetrator's actions.

But how do these identity thieves manage to obtain your information? Well, unfortunately, there are a lot of ways, but I will be focusing on one major scheme commonly used by these idiots.. Spam Emails!

The Method

Most identity thieves steal identity through emails, but since it's difficult to email everyone one by one, they use robots to crawl the web, steal email addresses, and use robots to mail everyone automatically. Most email services had already device a way to get rid of such emails by filtering them, but sometimes, some of these manage to land on your Inbox. Eventually, some users who are not aware of it, may read it.. This is what it contains.. See example below..

It usually contains.. the "wow, you win the online lottery" message. Other's even pretend to be lawyers and asks you to be the beneficiary of an inheritance. Other's still asks you to become a business associate. Whatever the scam message.. they always ask you to give them your Personal Information.

Note that there is no online lottery that is based on email addresses and is conducted automatically. If you haven't participated it, do not act so greedy of claiming the reward even if the prizes are tempting. Only a spam robot would steal email ads, and only a scammer would conduct such drawings, moreover, there is no prize.. unless, you can consider getting your identity stolen a prize.

As for the lawyer-beneficiary scheme, no one's stupid enough to just make you inherit a load of wealth. If someone dies, and has no kin, his/her fortune will usually be escheated to the treasury of a particular country, where the decease person left his/her wealth, of course, this depends on the law governing such cases, but by any means, do not act as the beneficiary when you don't even know the decease person. If you submit your information to claim such wealth, you'll surely inherit the crime of the identity thief.

Other methods include advertising your profile on forums, social networking sites, etc. Doing this will certainly make the thieve's work much easier.

Prevention

To prevent your identity stolen, as a golden rule, always never give your personal information to strangers or any unauthorized agent. Do not register your personal information on unregistered or unsecured sites, most especially on scam sites. Do not loiter your email ad on just any sites, this will help spam robots steal your account, and increases your chances of receiving the fraudulent email.

Waolina.com: Smuggler's den?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 18 May 2008 23:24:00 +0000

I was tired of reading repetitive spam emails of Viagra products lately, but another brand new thing caught my eye while I browse my spam email folder this morning. The new link was Waolina.com. A site that sells watches, necklaces, and other accessories. It looks like an ordinary site with a nice design, but the thing that sparked my curiosity was the way it advertises itself. Why through spam? Now, that's a mystery since we very much know that spamming is illegal.

So, with that said, I went on to check who was responsible of such site, and it gave me this result..

Domain Name: waolina.com

Status: ok

Registrar: XIN NET TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
Whois Server: whois.paycenter.com.cn

OK, no wonder this site contains cheap products, and special offers.. it's from Xinnet again, and they have been actually violating the Internet Law by propagating itself through an illegal procedure known as spamvertise. Now, if it's from Xinnet, it's certified scam, and that's enough reason for us to blacklist this site.

WordLinx's improvements

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 18 May 2008 04:39:00 +0000

Good news for WordLinx members. The site that had been around since 2003 had launched a new business system that was said to expand WordLinx's presence on the Net using a Junction technology that creates a brand new entry point for advertisers via promotion, affiliates, and now, including resellers. As you can see, this increases advertising flow considerably as more advertisers mean more paid adverts. If you are a WordLinx member, you may now have noticed that the ads had increased dramatically, even if you are a non-upgraded member.

This system was started on May 15th, as was scheduled. If the system continues to work for the company, then we can expect WordLinx to rise from its stagnant position.

History

WordLinx had also included on their blog some historical facts about the company. They stated that several years ago, WordLinx was the first major PTC with a $0.01 per click and $10 cashout structure. Since then, many websites have copied their system in an attempt to replicate their success. They also stated that there are now hundreds of similar sites in the Net today, most charging much more for the same service. And for over the last few months, they have been developing a brand new system that would provide more paid adverts for everyone. They boast that it's unlike anything we've ever seen before.

Earn3 has gone 10

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 18 May 2008 02:00:00 +0000

The PTC site, Earn3, has announced this 10th of May, the raising of their minimum payout from $3 to $10. There are few reasons as to why they raise the payout, and it's no different from the reasons of the other PTC sites that also started at low then suddenly raise to $10 minimum. One of the main reasons is the massive payout that's not only difficult for the administrators but is also risky for the business, as the site may have to catch up with time and money.

The site Earn3 may have already been aware of this since from the start, but they thought of this as a good strategy to catch up attention. Anyway, as long as they pay, there's really nothing wrong with this move. However, it seems that the name Earn3 doesn't suit them anymore. Perhaps they should change that name to Earn10 as well. LOL.

4th Payment Received from CoinMachine.info
