I got this email today and I am thinking it's got to be a scam so that one can part with one's $20 quickly (and many $20 payments could make one a hefty sum, even if it's just 5 out of the millions spammed..)
OR if it's not, then no wonder PTCs end up not being able to pay their users off if they are able to start out with hardly any capital and maybe it may explain why they easily go bankrupt if advertisers do not pay up and they cannot pay their users...
This email seems to be from the admin at 'ClickSensations', What do you think? Is it another 'hacker attack' perhaps?
[i]Ever wanted your own ptc site but thought they were super expensive?

I think it sounds like one of those "too good to be true deals", but I could always be wrong. I don't blame you for being skeptical.

Not seen this email, but it makes me wonder if some of the new ones that have been cropping up left, right and centre have used it. Too many are looking very similar now. Many are appearing and disappearing again, so perhaps they are all just paying $20. It seems to cheap to be true doesn't it.
It does say one month hosting for free... so how much per month afterwards?
I will be interested to read other more knowledgeable peoples responses to this question

Hi matina321,
I think if I see any of those sites well they are a scam so I will stay well away from them.

it certainly sound like a scam,but then again i am cynical,but i think if it sounds too good to be true,it probably is.

That definitely sounds like a site my friend and I would not trust an email like that and if I got a email telling me that kind of stuff I would just delete it without thinking twice and with even considering trusting it,I do not know why some people feel that that have to scam others out of money,and people like that need to be caught and locked away in a prison cell for a long time.
