Onbux Changed their TOS as a way to stop members from filing a Paypal Dispute

Tweet

I am an ex-Onbuxer. When they put my 8th and last payment under 'Pending' status, I filed a Paypal dispute after 48hours and got my investments back after 2 days. I used their TOS to fight Onbux and recover my money back. Specifically, I used TOS 6.2 that says: "6.2. All payments are instant. However for security reasons, account investigation and possible heavy traffic on the server, we can take up to 48 hours after your request to make the deposit in your payment processor of choice." Basing from that TOS alone, Onbux was VIOLATING ITS OWN TERMS. TOS is the same as a written contract. If a party violates it, then, that makes all the agreements null and void. That's the reason why Onbux had to give in when I demanded a refund. I have shared my story not just here in MyLot but also in PTC-I to which others followed suit. I even got comments in my blog that they were able to get their money back as well. Today, I went to the forum of onbux and found this disturbing news that Onbux changed TOS 6.2 and now it says: "6.2. All payments are instant. However, for security reasons, a possible heavy traffic on the server or investigation of the user's account, the payment may take 7 to 10 business days or more, due to the waiting list of manual payments." Tsk.. Tsk... Onbux strikes again! Members who have pending payments were not allowed to post in the forum, the response to a ticket a member submits is the automatic response of having your payment sent at the last of the queue, no new updates from the admin and now they changed their TOS 6.2 since that's the one used by us who filed a dispute against them. I pity those who have just invested their money, sooner or later their accounts will be set under pending status once they're close to the expiration of the allowed payment dispute. For those who have been waiting for their payments and is deciding to file a dispute, you can still use the old TOS 6.2 as the basis of your dispute. STRESS OUT that Onbux just changed their TOS to suit their needs and that the new TOS6.2 does not apply to cases prior to the change. For those whose payments were just set to 'pending' status today and onwards you may need to come up with another argument when you file a dispute. I've read a comment at PTC-I where the person automatically ESCALATED the case to Paypal and Paypal sided in his favor so that's another option for you as well. Onbux is trying its best to ward off disputes. They don't want to get their account limited that's why they don't have a choice but to refund payments made so for those who have pending payments still and are hoping for Onbux to be true their word, you may want to think about filing a dispute. You can wait until the last day of the allowed time if you want but just remember that once Onbux close out completely you won't have a chance anymore to get your money back. By the way, if by the end of the month Onbux still fails to pay members who have been waiting for their payments for more than a month and is unable to resolve the issues they're having, PTC-I will place the site in the list of SCAMS.
