I hear, here and there, things about these sites, none good, but at the same time, so confusing that I can't make sense of any of them. Is there anyone that has any information about any of these as to good, bad, head for the hills? They all have lots of ad, and IM is the only one I have reached cash out nad then changed to not paying free memebers, but I can deal with the upgrade thing by just letting the balance grow, but still confused.

Think nad Crew - in the air right now - goods and bads -

the other 3 I am near cash out but have not heard anything about them other than someone didn't get paid sometime....

So... any suggestions, thoughts or experiences anyone can share about these sites? Thanks so much

I have not heard anything good about IM, personally I would stay away from sites that have had un-resolved issues... Any site that has been posted about in the Bad Programs forum here, or anywhere else and has not yet been resolved, stay away! Other people have had problems, not being paid etc, dont be the next one to fall for it.... When was the last time any of those sites had payment proof posted? Im not saying they are scams but if you hear nothing good about them, I would stop doing offers there. Just my 2 cents.

If a site has stopped paying free members, (or even started that way) that is a very clear sign that things are not right. I know members of sites like these have balances tied up and can't always just up and leave as soon as it happens, so you have to try and extract yourself with the least damage possible. Whether that's redeeming for ads, or if you have a bid enough balance, even using part of your earnings to upgrade so you can be paid the remainder. If you have a small balance then it may be less painful to leave and submit a complaint here and bid good riddance to the site.

But it certainly shouldn't be a program where you make long term plans at, in my short time in the get paid to world I don't think I have ever seen a program decide not to pay free members, and then recover from the difficulties that caused that action, to resume paying them at a later date.

But this just my opinion, you are the one with the account balance and you must decide what you feel is best for you, I just hope it works out as well as it can for you :)

Isabel and MArco, Think bux and crew bux all owe me money and haven't paid me in over 3 months.

I saw this link today on another blog I frequent regarding IM and bots.

Someone took this screenshot and the blog I go to posted about it.

yeah there are a lot of people that are complaining that IM is making people upgrade to get paid if that's the case they are either getting ready to pump and dump or they are lacking funds period.

Time to reduce , and run .
Look for instant paying sites..

[charmed-cents]

I know this is an old thread, but if you still need info... I know that Earn3 and Extra10 are now owned by GPTNetwork (Mike and Mark). To get paid, you pretty much have to upgrade and then the instant payout is never available.. so really... it's ads only it seems at those sites.

Well thankyou everyone. I just tried to cash out at both, one says it can take up to 365 days to get my cashout, and a fee to do so andt he other says there are 2919 ahead of me. What a bunch of crap! All this time clicking thinking they were honest. $17 bucks down the drain. Good thing I didn't upgrade. I just don't understand how they can have so many members if they treat the members like this. If people are making money from referrals, the referrals are like me and once I stop, so do their referral earnings so what's the point of them even being in business... sure wish I could find some honest ones right off, instead of wasting time and loosing my earninings to findout. Can these site be boycotted? The way they do is just not right.

[larryonlyl]

You are absolutely right , but about all you can do at this time
is check here for info if you can't find it anywhere else
and don't go to those nasty sites any more .
There are some Honest sites out there
Neobux, Wordlinx, Donkeymails, Clixncash
with either instant or at least reasonable ( like less than a week )
payout timeframes..

that list of sites updated itself...

thinkbux and crewbux are gone.

isabelmarco is going to delete 50% of all balances and only pays a few premiums.

earn3 and extra10 belong to mike and mark at gptnetworks. they are scammers.
they change tos on all of their sites whenever they feel like it. implemented instant payouts which aren't instant. they pay very few members and even when they do its only to a few premiums.
then they created priority payouts. premiums get to pay them $50 for the privilege of being paid within 15 days of request.
even priority payout members cannot request because the payouts are always closed.

don't waste your time on any gptnetwork sites:(

I am one who was pleased with IsabelMarco and had had very good results, but became wary when I saw my average monthly balance and referrals decrease extraordinarily shortly before they announced their very extreme changes to TOS and decision to stop paying free members. I stuck with it a couple months longer after that, but eventually quit and have never looked back.

They also owed a GPTB member over $1000 who, several months later, still hadn't been paid. There's several threads here at GPTB about the IsabelMarco thing with input from many.

I quit ThinkBux and CrewBux at the point where they couldn't seem to stay online and started changing TOS, so I was already gone long before they disappeared.

Earn3 and Extra10 - even tho I had heard a great deal of negative about them, I joined and stuck with them for a while until two things happened - they couldn't seem to keep their sites online and up either, and I also got some nasty adware/malware from a site that advertised with one of them. Shortly after that, when I went to the sites and they were gone I just said to heck with this and put them in my "inactive sites" bookmark folder and forgot about them.

I was doing some updating of my lists of PTCs recently and discovered that they were both up again, so I moved them back to my active list for about two days. After visiting them both one night, I spent eight hours removing a virus/trojan from my computer again thanks to some ad one of them was carrying. Something like that happens once, well, stuff like that happens. Twice, there's no excuse for not having better security.

Between the buzz on them having been practically nothing but negative all along, the up and down disappearing and reappearing, and the fact they don't appear to care much about security of the sites they allow to advertise, I'm done with both for good.

clixncash it not an honest site anymore. on june 2009 there admin changed and afterwords the new admin deleted about 80000 accounts out of 90000. even mine was deleted. I have been a big advertiser there. I had bought worth $40 in total but since admin is changed he doesn't care about anything.
he has stopped selling guaranteed signups. he owns a big network of sites with the same script like clixncash.
now the support system is very difficult you have to do lots of things to contact them.

very old and popular site with about 1 million members has now became a scam site.
