Paybox.me is a beta test site that's claiming to pay you as a tester. i was wondering if anyone knows about it? It's payment claims are big. $50 sign-up, up to $20 a day, and $5 referal. I signed up today and it seems simple enough. If you want to sign up obviouly i'd love the referal, but mostly i'd like to know if it's genuine?

I have no idea whether it's genuine or not, but so far it seems pretty sincere to me. What tips me off to this being a possible scam site is the fact that they don't have any way for you to contact them in case you have a problem; all they have is a dedicated email for people to lodge bug reports (which is more than what they have last week). I've gotten a few friends to sign up under me as referrals, but all of us have the same "hmm..." attitude when it comes to this site. At the most all we lose is time, because this site doesn't have our credit card details and the emails we're using are our "dedicated to spam" email. We shall see in a few weeks if Paybox really will pay out as they claim. BTW, bear in mind the $50 they quote to you is not in US dollars, but rather Paybox virtual currency, so the value with the real US dollars may vary.

thanks for such a coherent and useful response. I'm with you in the nothing to lose but i'm also highly skeptical. thanks for also pointing out the 'virtual currency' i'd not seen the small print and it makes a lot of difference.

Hi I am not and member and i don't want to join because mostly higher paying sites are scams so don't waste your time. I have some legit sites which pays small but they pays regularly and i have some referrals too. if you want please send me friend reques or message me then i will send you my referral links of it.

thanks for the invite. I'm quite happy with what i have for the moment but if I'm looking for something new then I'll come your way. I think this site just intrigues me mostly. I have more than $200 now and it shows no sign of letting up. even if that's only worth $0.02 eventually i'm still wondering where it will go.

I would say to stay far away from this site! It is a huge scam. Think about: how could they possibly afford to give all their new members 50 DOLLARS? Yeah, that's not going to happen. Don't fall for big money schemes like this because they're rare, if EVER, real :/

however, sometimes one has to risk, and as most sites are a risk, expecially new sites, it's about do you think it's worth the risk of your time. I'll not give any information i wouldn't usually give to scammers happily, just one e-mail address. what's to lose?

I have a doubt about this site also, but after thinking what that I have to do is so simple, only takes less than 5 minutes of my time, i felt nothing to loose. Just logging in everyday and doing the simple task won't be hurt. Besides they have a good developed site, not so simple one. So i'm still have a good expectation with them. Until today I've collected more than $500. Our losing point is only our time, if it's another scam site. :)

I join awhile back and have about 600.00 in my account. I dont know it it a scam or not but the fact is it not costing me anything and who knows if it legit till next year and I take lest than 2 min to answer the surveys. I dont know it it actual money in US dollars thought might be paybox dollars which may be converted to cash or prizes. either way i win because i losing on 2 minutes a week for the survey

I really think that paybox is a Scam Site! the money that you won is very high and if they really want to be something they are starting in the wrong way givin money for everyone. I could be wrong but i think that is a scam!

yeah i think it's probably that too but i'm still kinda facinated. all they asked me to do was some internal surveys so far, too simple to sell to other companies. It just seems confusing.
