You may probably know that buxp.info is ptc site, which was running for a long time a legit site. But for more than a week, I couldn't open that side. I pinged it, but all of them are timeout errors. What happened to them? Well, as like in the other ptc are they in DOS? If so means, why they didn't give any information page? Not even a announcement mail? Do you know anything? Did they gave up?

Well, Thanks for the info. But do they really facing DDos? because now telling that we are under DDoS is a fashion.
Be one thing sure, If one site facing DDoS their alexa rank will go up very faster and very high. But I didn't find any changes like that.
However, I believe that they may not scam. I have seen many of them get paid. Waiting from their response...

You will be pleased to know that site is back working from today , this the message they post at forum :[i]Hi,
As promised here is some more information regarding past days downtime.
We have been under DDOS attack (as described and updated on our blog). Our server company does have standard DDOS protection but the size of the attacks were too large so we had to find another solution. We spent quite a large amount on a year contract with a high reputation DDOS protection company, so we hope these issues are in the past now.

We are sorry for the downtime but hope you understand that a DDOS attack is a powerfull weapon on the internet, and that we are not a million dollar business, but do everything in our power to prevent/avoid/counter those in the future.
About pending payments: We will work away the 2-3 day delay tomorrow.
To the DDOS Attackers: Feel free to contact us and explain your motivation for these attacks
