When a dollar in your balance is worth a cent : the Vonbux case.

Vonbux began as a bux -- you have probably guessed it 
-- with a $5 minimum payout for free members, and is now a "profit sharing" site with a $10 minimum payout for free members. It is a high payout for a PTC, and we know that those "bux" with a high payout are often synonym of scam.
But these $10 are... a bit devalued when you reach your payout. The TOS says, article 18 :
"We are a Profit Sharing Website. Depending on the months profit you will be paid 1 % to 8% of your total payment request. Free members will be paid only 1% of their total request. Please know that 1% does make a huge difference on your earnings."
You have been warned : it is a huge difference ! [b]A free member requesting ten dollars gets ten cents !
1 cent/click ? No ! 1/100th cent/click...[/b]
Do you read carefully the terms when you join a PTC 
?
Have you been trapped by sites like Vonbux trying to fool their members 
?

HI
I am glad that i am not with this site.. In fact i am hearing about first time about it. 10$ is very high payout it self and still its not sure that we will get it. 
Hope every user will read this.
In past i was fooled by site like this.. But from then i do take care of things more. So no more trapping for me.

When you join an old and paying site like myLot you have nothing to fear about being paid, friend. I completed my payment for January and was paid this month
. Some members cannot been paid by myLot because PayPal is not yet available in their countries, but it is not your case : all you need is a PayPal account and to stay active till your payment.

This is sad to hear that sites like these are attempting to fool their members. To bad for them there are people that read the TOS and they can't as easily get away with tricks like these. I'm glad that you have brought this up and brought it to the myLot communities attention.
~Thank You

Oh gosh I have to admit that before I sign up to any site I do go directly to the TOS and the FAQ's. The first thing I want to be sure is, will I get paid? Is it geo specific? The golden questions for me is, how much do they pay and how long will it take for me to earn?
If I can get those answered to my favor then I will entertain the maybe; As the maybe will be is it sustainable. Once I have positively in my favor retrieved those answers, then MAYBE, I will sign up!
