Everything could happen, and even trusted PTC sites could turn scam. No matter if they have server problems or admin just quit the website, you won't get paid in the end. How to avoid PTC scam then?

Well, PTC/PTR sites are joined by thousands Internet members every day, because popular way of making money on the Internet. Sadly, there are also many sites which are scam. Some people get caught into this, because they :

1. Trust PTC admins, why claim they'd pay
2. Don't check website feedback
3. Don't use common sense
4. Forget about their safety

So here are some tips on avoiding PTC and BUX scams:
1. Think before joining
Always trust your inner voice. If it sounds "Too good to be true" then it probably is. Don't believe anyone, no one would pay you 100$ per click. Read TOS and Privacy Policy.



2. Do your research:

Research all websites you are going to join. Google them up. Add the word scam to the website URL. Also go to get paid to forums like PTC Talk, URONLINEBIZ, GPT BOYCOTT

There are so many websites about PTC and new sites, you can find all scams. So just search Google or any other favorite search engine of yours.

3. No UPFRONT payments
I don't ever pay for premium memberships right away. Don't ever pay for anything especially if you are new and don't know about the site too much. Admins will tell that their site is super good, but don't trust anyone. This is how they make money, by giving attractive offers to the users that you'll become a billionaire in one night if you believe and buy this gimmick.

4. Stay well informed

Subscribe to their websites, blogs or forums. Read more and more about these websites. Contribute and stay on top of them. If admin is not active for a week or so, quit it. It's not worth your efford, if admin doesn't have time nor money to pay you. Also if you do that, you can run a blog about this website and earn money by getting referrals and Adsense earnings

5. Get Your Money Fast!
Minimum cashouts are 5-10$. Don't wait. Cashout as soon as you can, because you don't know whether site will pay you later. I know this, because I wanted to earn 50$ on one site before I cashout, when I got to that limit, never got paid. So get your cash fast, while you can :)

6. Never Trust New Sites

If the site is new, don't hurry to join. Check out if the site has forum or blog. Any way to check the reputation. Don't trust sites that offer email support only.

In the end, I wish all of you happy and safe earning.
