I have seen many people still promoting the scam sites like bux.to, gagbux, A.W.Surveys and list goes on .
These sites turned in to a scam long ago why they are still promoted by user, I think they might be promoted by new users and it is more bad thing as the new users will lose the trust in online earnings after being scammed by these sites.

People who still promote these sites are either part of those sites or they don't know the sites had gone scam already. I totally agree with you, other legit sites can be affected if this wouldn't stop as the newbies will lose confidence in online earnings.

I recently joined buxinc and found out that it might be a scam. Is this true? has anyone ever been paid by them?

We can't blame those people around those site, friend. They maybe an aware that the site is scam or anything. Gagabux is not scam, they only change their method of payment by not allowing free member to get payout but only upgraded member...
They still paying and I am the one who get paid because I am upgraded member

I do feel for the new users who are doing these and about gagabux as you said we need to be upgraded to get paid . Even I got paid by them in August 2010 but my total payout is $34 against total investment of $30 so, it is not profitable even if they are paying.

I think those that promote scam sites are those people who are new to online earning. They probably just join these sites without doing research first if they are scam sites or not.
There are also those sites that pay initially so members are encouraged to invite others to join under them but eventually those sites don't give the succeeding payments.

I do not think people are knowingly promoting a site that is suppose to be a scam site. In my opinion, they do not really know about it being a scam. They try to invite people so they could probably earn from the downline. But, then they realize other wise when they request payouts.

Everyday some new users are joining this online earning job.. So those scams sites are still able to attract some newbies.. So those promoters must be them or may be the site owner them self promoting them...
Hope those new users investigate properly before joining such scam sites.

There are thousands of scam sites around the web and it gets very very difficult for a user to know if its a scam or a genuine site. These sites tends to attract the users, specially the new users as most of such site commit very fast money. I can assure you there are very few genuine sites on the web which are truly genuine.

The new users might be promoting those sites which were declared scam long ago.I think they have not yet realized that those sites are never going to pay them , they are just wasting their own time and credits or money on easyhits4u by promoting them.

People promote scam sites because they thought they can earn by working on the site. They're innocent. I've been there and it's no fun and no good. But in a way they this would be a good wake up call to not trust on online sites that will give you promises yet all they want is to rip your off. So we got to be very wise on this. Before shelling out your hard earned money.

Maybe they are new user who are new to online earning and also mylot they might just want to get few direct referrals and never actually research about the site before either joining them or promoting them
i think they will learn there lesson when they are not paid from those sites
and if i personally see them i usually add them as friends and pm them that the site has turned scams

Some people are not even aware of the fact that these sites are scams. Very few people seems to be cautious enough to do their due diligence about any kind of opportunities.

Actually its very frustrating things.. Why people are not informing if they came to know about scam site and keep going on adding referral..

I think your right most of the time people that promote the scam sites are new to the sites and haven't been paid yet and think they are good sites and want referrals. I don't like to promote sites until I get paid so I know how good they are.
