VIP Bux - not to be trusted

I invested 1000.00 in VIP Bux. Several times over several days the statistics were wrong: once, the number of clicks for 1000 referrals did not change for 24 hours. This happened 3 days in a row and they did not respond on the forums. Then on another day, the referral count was a perfect round number of 55000 and this was 1000 lower than the average amount of clicks per day - normally I get 6000 to 7000 clicks from my 1000 referrals and this day there were only 5500 and it was a perfect round number. And again, the clicks did not update for 24 hours.
So over a 6 day span, instead of the referral clicks increasing by 5000 to 7000 per day, they increased by half that.
I reported this in the forums and they said nothing. Not only that, but they were AWOL for 3 days.
At this point, I made a refund request through paypal. And then VIPBux is suddenly awake and they deny the request.
And worse, they have banned me from the site and the forums without any feedback, which I feel is extreme behavior.
They also said they would not tolerate accusations of scam from users. However, from the users standpoint, the site is a new site and there were serious accounting problems that they did not respond to. And then they left without warning. Not to mention the site was down several times during their absence.
The payout time is 15 business days. I never was paid for a cashout request I made on 8/29/08. If I were you, I would stick with instant for no less than 5 business day payout sites.
I have been paid by 3 bux sites - buxout (instant, 3 times), clixmx (7 days, 1 time), ara-bux (7 days, 1 time).
And I intend to stay with these. My userid is thequietcenter at all 3 should join as a result of this message.
