Here is the post from the ADMIN:
"Hello everyone.. I apologize for the lack of updates as we didn't manage to handle the current situation properly. Our AlertPay issue which caused a havoc, has brought our management down as well. We have no way to revive AlertPay at the moment. We will be looking into giving vcBux to a better management and yes, we are not looking for a profit at all. We are hoping that we would be able to hand vcBux over to a better management in order to keep the site running.
Here is what I really have to say. I have tried my best, had my sleepless nights, plannings and everything that I could think of but I have to say, a panic situation which was caused by our AlertPay issue was far greater than what I could handle. As of such, we have come to a point where the only way to keep us running, is to hand it over to a new management."
Do you think that is a form of scamming? Selling your site without any guarantees of payments? I am expecting them to close down, but not this soon. Anyway I got my investments back with interests, but I still hate to see a paying site to stop paying all of a sudden.

It's not actually a surprise since it's a bux site. Furthermore, it's using the notorious Zeus script.
As for handing over to a new management, isn't that the exact same thing that the other bux sites that turned scam did? The admin of iiBux tried to do the same thing but ended up closing the site completely. Vynbux is currently trying to find a new owner as well.
Investing in a bux site is similar to that of joining an HYIP. There is no guarantee when it will last.

Both bux sites have issues surrounding them as well.
There's a rumor that the owner of Teabux was the owner of the site called earn.bz that closed down (some say earn.bz scammed people, others say they paid the members before shutting down). We all know that bux sites are financially unstable, right? Well, I'm not sure how teabux can survive with a rule of no direct referral limit. A 'No Direct Referral Limit' rule can only work for non-bux sites.
Aebux on the other hand, had a clash with Zorybux. Apparently, Zorybux stole the script that Aebux uses or so claimed by the admin of Aebux. As to how it happened, that remains a mystery. 
But that will make any members wary of the site because if the script can be stolen, that would put make their site's security questionable. One other thing to bear in mind is that the owner is unknown. They have hidden their identity at Whois.

"no rented referral renewal" 
I have renewed mine twice.
I let the inactives expire and have kept those that are active twice.
All the information means nothing to me at all but thank you and I shall continue while I am getting paid

I would say selling a site and leaving members high and dry CAN be a form of scamming, but that's mainly true for those admin who do this repeatedly. In the case of vcBux, it sounds like the admin just got overwhelmed and felt he couldn't keep the site going on his own. I do think it's part of his job to oversee the transition so members aren't cheated by the new owners...he shouldn't just sell it to anyone in other words but rather find someone with the funds to actually run the site and who has a plan to recompense the members for their time and investments.

I was beginning to have hopes in this site and then came this;I guess this is the end for vcbux and its short and glorious life;luckily I haven't invested anything in it,so I'm not very upset.
