By a website ? Yes i have been scammed by buxplus. I joined the site and when it was time for payout they simply vanished. Also there was another site which installed so many viruses on my pc. I was even scared to open that site to cancel my account.
What about you ? Have u ever been scammed by any website ? Let us share it over here so that people wil be careful while joining such websites.

no I have not gotten scammed by any websites.
My source to check if the site pays for real is getpaidforum.com.
It is a really good resource (thats how I found mylot!!) where users review and submit new money making sites

Hi pinky we all know now that bux3 is a scam and I have also been finding out that there are a lot of bux sites that are scams and don't pay out cos they disappear after a while...I just hope it doesn't happen to bux.to blessings littleowl

THe only site I really got scammed on was dormcheck. Alot of people got scammed by that site there was alot of warning about the site turning into a scam. Although I didn't lose any money I did not get my last payment from all the time I spent on the site.

It is when I read stories like this that I think to myself, that I really have to be careful with what sites I join up to.
I do tend to get a bit carried away with sites that I join and then I panic thinking that I could be opening myself up to viruses, and luckily that has not happened yet, and so far I have not been scammed.

I havent been scammed yet. But maybe that was just because my earning not nearly to be check out. cause everybody in here know that the real problem lies when you check out your pay, will you get pay or not? I do hope my incomes sites do pay me and not try to scam me.

Yes i have gone through this several time when i began with extra income sources. One of them was pefect emails and i would say they were just perfect in scamming. Payout was around 150 dollars and just around 140 my account got deleted. No replies to any queries and finally i gave up. I also ended up paying a joining fee to Genisis ITES a chennai based company in india for data conversion jobs and never received any. After this i only used to join free sites so that at the most you would be loosing just your expected money and not actually paying out of your pocket.
