Paypal has frozen accounts of Cashium which may include thousands of dollars of investments by its members. The owner of Cashium in his message on the site says that he tried to "persuade" Paypal to release the accounts but that they just said "sorry". He also says even though he will be called a scammer, he is at ease now since he claims to have strained every nerve and then he finally admits that it is nightmare that he cannot handle!
95% of PTC sites turn into scams taking the hard-earned invested money of members with them. Cashium seemed to be a little different with an active forum and admin and grew by leaps and bounds. However, most members of Cashium have had access issues with Cashium for the past several weeks while it was struggling with load issues and claimed to be switching over to a new server. But alas, it was a case of too little too late!
How many of you are members of Cashium and have you bought referrals or upgrades? The owner says that he will hand over to a new management - do you thing this move will be successful?

Luckily I didn't invested there but I lost $3.5 earnings there. I had 2 active referrals so it was a big loss for me . For me in which sites I had invested or thought of investing has turned in to a scam . Cashium is the third site for me after vipclix and palmbux that turned in to a scam or likely to be scam.

I am member of Cashium.
I never bought any upgrades or referrals. I was paid by this site. I am not yet
quite ready to call Cashium a scam site. If Cashium does come under new ownership,
they will be successful.

I am not a member of Cashium and I am glad. From what I have heard most scam sites just disappear. At least the owner informed the members of the problems he was having. I only belong to two sites and I never invest anything in referrals or upgrades. I know you can earn more money if you do, but so many sites are scams, I believe that it is better to just avoid it.

I thought Chashium was going to be closed down for good, and all investors would loose there money. But as you pointed later in the message, the company is planning to hand over management. This would completely satiate most members, and new management might be smarter at detecting better consumers and gaining profits. Its a case of don't loose your money for people analyzing Cashium right now, and I don't think many people will join it as of now. Its popularity has tweaked to all time lows. Prospective beware owners beware of what you're investing in.

I did not invest in Cashium, joined the site late after everybody was already promoting it but was able to cash out the first 2.00usd, and still had a long way to go to reach the next 4.00usd when it went down. I only managed to get 4 direct referrals for the site and only one of them was active lol, I'm really sorry for all those who invested and lost money on the site though.

I'm not a member (never even heard of Cashium) but wonder, if the money is in the account, why PayPal won't release it.

It was a shocking news for me. I lost a lot of hard earned referrals and balances in Cashium. Fortunately for me I didn't invested there. I was planning to invest in rented referrals at cashium next month. The Cashium owner is trying to sell the website a new management. Well, it is our only hope. We can hope that Cashium will get a new owner and he will pay our cash.

Hi hushi22 - Yes, the message is posted on their message board which you can access by typing in the name of the site and slash message. The owner has clearly shifted responsibility of huge losses to its members by blaming Paypal and getting away from any blame.
