Upbux was recognized as 2nd best BUX PTC out there behind Neobux and some says their #1 when it comes to this business, infact many prefer to invest more in upbux compare to neobux, but look now what happen they are closing down claiming that PAYPAL limited, frozen their account and so on they even called PAYPAL a mafia OMG! are we talking to CAPONE and LUCIANO here? :D for me its very unprofessional to announce such statement and gave all the blame to PAYPAL, members can,t even leave comments on that announcement, admin should know how to run this kind of business (PTC)the "Do's and DONT's" look Neobux also offers payment via PAYPAL and till now they are in the business, anyway i feel sorry for those who suffer loss in upbux, specially for those who invested so much.

Well said, M. I agree with what you said that UpBux handled the situation very unprofessionally and pointed their finger on PayPal, a very reputable e-commerce business. Obviously UpBux had violated Paypal guidelines, Paypal wouldn't freeze their accounts for no reason. This has happened to other Bux sites but they continued their payouts through another account. If UpBux really means well, they should have done that. But well, obviously they took the easy way out and just ran with their users' money.

yeah there is a way if they really want to continue, and also i remember PALMBUX has the same kind of problem before with PAYPAL, but look PALMBUX works hard to get their account back and the result they've got reinstated, and now they're continue paying with PAYPAL.

True, I was actually referring to PalmBux because I remembered they encountered a similar problem but they patched things up and used one of their admin's account instead. UpBux should have just done the same.

Yeah it is really sad that they closed down. I thought they are a stable site and they even boast that they have these high end servers and best protection out there. But only a Paypal problem brought them down and all our hard earned money is gone by the wind. I think the Upbux admin didn't anticipate that this could happen and easily discouraged and quit immediately that makes us sad. He didn't fight at all unlike Palmbux that they were able to solved the problem and looked at them now the are able to get back there frozen account from Paypal without closing their site. From this we have learned a lesson not to trust fully from a site and never invest until proven and also we learned a lot how Paypal works.

although they said "If Paypal realize his mistake and stop taking money from honest people. we will return" i don't think it will happen, and for me yeah its the end for them

I was only with upbux for a very short time, and I never reached payout, and now that they have closed, I am glad that I didn't. I am also glad that I didn't invest any money there, as people said that it was better than upbux, but it doesn't seem that way anymore. I am renting referrals in neobux, as I trust it completely. I guess those of us whoe were members at upbux, really got fooled by this whole thing, and I think the way it was handled, just wasn't right. I am sure that paypal tried to work them them, and for them to put them donw like they did, isn't professionsal like teh one user said. I think the admin should be ashamed of himself talking about paypal like he did. I do have other sites to fall back on, so I am not at all ocncerned about it going under, only for those that invested. I do feel for them, as they are out there money now, but maybe upbux will give them their money back,at least we can hope so anyway. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.
