Is it just me, or are all these ptc sites exactly the same just different skins?

Hey all
I was clicking some ads on onbux, of which i am a fairly new member yesterday, and i got adverts for other PTC sites. The sites advertised were something like vcbux, buxworld (or was it universe, or network, i cant quite remember) and instant bux. And it striked me how similar these sites were. It was almost as if they were made by the same person, and he or she hadnt even bothered to change anything but the colour schemes.
Are these sites legit? To me they smell a bit scammy, i mean, its almost like someone made a load of sites to try and scam as many people as possible. I am not sayign that these sites are scam, i do not know, but it certainly feels that way, as so little sets them apart!

I felt the same thing when I joined the Vcbux and Nrbux . The sites are running on the zeus script and there are at least 10 sites running with the same script,so I decided to not join any more sites with the same script.
The zeus script sites has a bad history of turning in to a scam but when neobux was started it also used the same script and they have gone a long way.
I did made a discussion for this http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2475746.aspx

Yes, to me it seems the same way. The same thing just slightly difereent screens. That's how I tell if I want to sign up for them or not. If it looks like something I'm all ready in, and have been paid from I sign up and try it. That's all you can really do to see if something is a scam or not. I don't invest until I find out if they are good or not. Good luck with them.

Hi there.
The reason of the same "design" on many buxsites, is because they are being hosted by buxhost.com :)
Buxhost.com is a site, where you can pay some money every month, and in return getting your own bux site, with all the scripts and the main design included.
Most of those sites are scam sites :)

aha, its a shame so many turn scam. I mean, i personally would rather earn a little money consistently, than loads in one go by scamming. But thats just me, but sometimes they turn scam as the costs become to large, or so i hear. Anyway, i think some go scam intentionally, i have heard of this one guy has made like 14 or so scam sites!

It is because most of them use a readymade script, few sites are there which use their customised script. And in buxhost script sites almost everything is same except their funny names
