I believe Butterflymails may be a scam

Hello all,
I am so frustrated right now.
I joined butterflymails.com yesterday because it claimed there was no minimum payment via PayPal. I was surprised and delighted to see that they had TONS of PTC ads and PTR emails to click on. By the time I was finished I had over 15 cents accumulated. They allegedly do mass Paypal payouts every Saturday so naturally I requested to cash out. This morning I try to log in and I receive an error message saying invalid user ID and password. I used the same ID and password I used to register. In fact, I still have the confirmation email I received from them yesterday. To be sure, I entered my email address again to ask them to re-send my login details. I then got an error saying the email address I entered wasn't in the system!!! So apparently they have deleted my account, and for what reason, I have not a clue. What a waste of time!!! I contacted them to inquire about this, but don't really have high hopes of a positive response.
Before joining most PTC/PTR sites I try to research to ensure they're valid. Example, I check the BeenPaid website and the GPT Boycott website. Sometimes I even check sites like MyLot to see if others have had a positive experience with them (though in this case I did not do that). I wish there was a tried and true method of really knowing for sure whether a PTC site is indeed legit or not. Even if you join sites that have tons of positive feedback from people saying they've been paid, you still can't be 100% certain the site will still be there the next day... or still be paying their members the next day for that matter...
Out of curiosity, has anyone on MyLot had any recent experience with Butterflymails, good or bad?
On the bright side, I did get my first payment from Orangebizs yesterday, which I'd just recently joined, so I can vouch for them at least... :
Thank you all for taking the time to read through my rant and I hope everyone has a great day.
