Ref4bux is a faily new ptc site where you view the ads in a slideshow format. I registered on the site thinking that they had a creative and interesting concept. Now I'm thinking it's just another SCAM. There are enough red flags for me to want to warn others about spending time on the site. The site is run by Kervyn Bloemerg and someone named Yann Hoffman.
First red flag: They're promoting PayPal, Payza, Liberty Reserve and Perfect Money as possible payment processors but the only payment option available is Payza. That's okay for me because I have a verified Payza account. The alarm went off when I tried to withdraw and learned that I was unable to "key in" my Payza email adddress for myself. I was instructed to submit a support ticket to request that the Admin update my profile to include my Payza email address. They refused to do this for the following reason:
Your account has been flagged as fraudelant as we have deducted a high volume of invalid direct referrals in your account coming all from the same country. All earnings made from these direct referrals will be reverted.
The truth is that I had a total of 11 direct referrals with only 1 being active so naturally...I'm seeing another red flag. Even if they didn't want to pay me referral earnings they were making it impossible for me to withdraw earnings from MY OWN activity on the site.
They were so quick to assume that I was cheating that they decided to rip me off, instead.
I tried to communicate but found that my time was wasted. I've officially decided that Ref4bux is now another SCAM site.
What do you think?

I noticed this discussion when I am trying to join Ref4bux as it is listed in paying sites. The site is claiming as encouraging to make more referrals. I think you are a person with good number of referrals, as I recollect a discussion related to IconBux started by you. Inform me some good sites to join and earn as I am joining in many sites with referral name showing nobody and the site utilize it to rent.

Hi Sherry Belle.
I am sorry for your bad experience but I have been a pioneer lifetime member for about 1 year I think. I have had no direct or indirect referrals but I have cashed out over 10 times with no problems. It is faster to earn as a non upgraded member then neobux and that in my view is a 10+ grade. I haven't had any problems in getting money with PAYPAL or PAYZA and have not tried the others because I don't use them.
So I do feel it is a scam in your eyes, but not a scam overall. Always paid me on time, answered quickly to support, had no problems whatsoever.
