Warning - Brainbux is a scam

[affordable]

From reddit:

They do not pay. I just did 100 clicks and now I need 10 referrals. If they were legit and really paid, then that part would have been told to you when you first start. Instead they wait until you do what they ask then tell you there's more. That's a scam. I wish i could get my hands on the owner of the site, I'd kill him/her! I'm sick of getting scammed and it's really only for a couple dollars. But, when you get 5,000 suckers to click 100 times, the money adds up pretty nicely for the owner!

Yeah, I can confirm that. Personally, I saw quite a few heads-up blogs/articles about brainbux claiming it was scam (always good to do some research before you join another PTC), but most posts were written back in summer 2015 (or something like that) so I thought I'd test it one more time. Less than a week ago I hit the 100 marker and boom - 10 referrals necessary. Generally, once you see something like this, you should run away like hell. This is a pure example of changing conditions of agreement right in the middle of your work. No legit business ever operates like that.

Thats so crappy!! Why do sites get allowed to do stuff like that? They know no people read the T+Cs so they think they can just get away with whatever they want. Makes my blood boil

Thanks for the heads up. It's so infuriating when you sign up to a new site and then find out that it's a big con to steal your time or money. But how do you go about reporting things like this to someone who can take legal action? I wouldn't know where to begin and doubt I'd ever get round to doing anything about it. Thank god we can at least warn each other...

I keep a list of sites I've seen warnings against on my tablet. I left it at work but on Monday I'll share the sites I've seen bad things about too

Yeah maybe we should make a new thread, if a mod or admin keeps the top post updated with sites that people have complained about and why.
