10 dollar bux - Fraud Squad

Yes folks, I stumbled onto these series of ten dollar per click sites:  Allstarbux; Buxbillionaire; Quickmoneybux; Buxtobux and Breakoutbux.  (There maybe more out there)

Now the administrators of these sites claimed that they are honest, chastising another scam site called 'tendollarclick' for being soooo dishonest.  Standard (free) members on all these ten dollar bux sites have to wait 180 days for a payout, yes boys and girls ... SIX WHOLE MONTHS or longer if it is 180 business days ... that seems fair (sarcasm).

What's laughable is the forum.  Where the same core members show-off their pathetic $40, $50, $60 and $80 payouts, after paying between $90 and $100 a basic upgrade.

So until these sites could prove to me that every body gets paid and within 60 days (at least) for the free members then they would remain on my FRAUD SQUAD LIST.

Oh!  At the posting of this article Buxtobux was offline.  I am shocked!

Readbud? I don't know!

I have seen many posts that accused Readbud of being a scam.   By then, I had much time invested into Readbud.

Readbud is a site that pays members on average between 0.04 to 0.15 cents for reading and rating articles. The payout is $50 through Paypal.

One post in particular outlined problems as a person approaches the $50 payout.  Readbud was accused of the following:


  1. As member reaches threshholds, e.g. $25; $30; $35; onward to $50; the amount of articles received is significantly and systematically reduced (this is my experience!).
  2. When the member finally reaches the $50 payout, Readbud accuses the member of not reading articles and/or reading articles too fast.


In addition to the above, I would find that after spending 4 to 6 minutes reading an article, as I attempt to rate it, for some strange reason I am not logged in.  When I do log back in the 'Article History' would show that that article and the previous article have not been read.  Therefore, if I want to be paid for these two particular articles I have to read them all over again, and this happens every time I log in to read articles.

At the time of writing of this article, I had reached $35.  As time goes on, I will update you on this pay-to-read site.  In the meanwhile if you want try this site click here.

Update!
I have cashed out on 20 February 2011.  Let's see how long it takes for me to get my money - if ever.
