Rainbucketsmail Gone anybody know what happened For The Site !!

How do you know that it is gone...

I think this SHAM PTR was still sending e-Mails a few days ago... ( I click once per every few week) I been monitoring the activity of this WM... and a half dozen other obvious SHAMMERS... for some time.
......................................................
If RainBuckets is gone... Then I say...; "Good riddence"

I'm just wondering when the site will come back ??

Why would you just wonder...

Let us recap the sequence of events....


If memory serves me right... It goes somewhat as follows;

The WM of RainBuckets launched a PTR with a $38(?) minimum Payout. Subsequently S/He did not pay most members... When hundreds of members approached the minimum Payout of $38... this WM declared that RainBuckets had been sold to a New WM.

The New WM first introduced members per administration e-Mail that S/He was the New wm without even giving a name.

Soon afterwards this New WM declared his/her name declaring that the New minimum Payout was $88. While this was discussed in a GPF thread... this "New WM" replied to that thread in the GPF with a post but was suddenly banned from GPF within a hour or so.

RainBuckets continued to operate and was sparodically sending dozens of e-Mails per day even last week and it was noted that some of those e-Mails contained Paid Links up to 15 Cents each.

Now we have a post by a concerned (assume a member who thought that they might actually get paid..) wondering what happened to RainBuckets...

Hmm...

Does anyone in GPF have a more appropriate answer?


Trivia question:

What other PTR did the WM of RainBuckets operate?

No. You pretty much summed it up doubtlet. I am just surprised the site stayed as lon as it did,

Sounds like it is gone into cyberspace........WHERE it belongs!!

Yeah, it's gone, a 'page not found' message now...

It was one of the very first PTR's I joined, when I didn't know about unsustainability issues etc...

They were first sending out 5ct paid mails (beginning of mai), then switching to 1 and 2 cents for more sustainability, and somewhere last month, they pulled back to 5/10/15 ct mails...

I also bought my first ad there ('cause of low prices, just giving it a try to see how it works and so), and it only got 300 clicks in the last couple of weeks

Ah well, good to see I will not be wasting my time to Rainbuckets, Blackmails and that kind of programs anymore

I left rainbuckets a while ago too. Seemed like we all got scammed again. Scams seem to be the norm round here. I think all the WM's were the same guy at rainbuckets is that wrong? What other sites did they run?

Reba

One more to that big list of scams. Thankfully I was not a member of this one.

Answer:

Looking back.. to what was uh... known prior to May 17, 2004
http://www.getpaidforum.com/forums/index.p...ic=176733&st=15

(Copy and paste for u if u r too busy to clck on link...)

There also are the other examples of known deceptive preplanners such as the WM of RAINBUCKETS who went on to create 37-21 which went POOF and now some of us are waiting for the next PTR to emerge from the mire of the mind of this WM.

Note also that Rainbuckets was supposidly sold to a New WM but it appears that it is still the same old WM.. with a AKA

HEY!! Was 37-21 also sold to a New WM?? HAH hahahaha



And if you wish to read some more content of that May 17 post:


Sadly only the WM of WANNABERICHPAYSU has been hounded down. Some members of the GPF are to be congratulated on that! But perhaps the many all round offerings of congratulations was premature.. In my opinion this was somewhat unfair.. Why unfair? Sure these scammers require hounding at but why aren't the all the others such as ET, Denise, Anniesformer WM, been given the same intense treatment? Sure.. Mendy has been exposed but still didn't get shamed the way Wannaberich's WM was.. Heck most of the rest of them were even worse and some still are active scammers.. Perhaps some WMs are slipperier.. Teflon WMs some of whom reappear from the ashes of thousands of cremated fingers they had set on fire. Yeah.. the word SCAM fits!

While the focus of the most avid GPF activists has been on the boycott/lifting of AYS over the last couple of days the "Hot Potatoe" operators continue on in the shadows without being really hounded down.. Sure 37-21's PTR was made fun of.. but no one hunted the WM down Does that scenerio seem sane? It's kind of a circus..

It seems to me that the greater majority of GPF activists are each running their own agenda and playing along with the PTR game. Collusion with scammers seems to be somewhat acceptable because they (some GPF members) have a invested interest of making some $ off of PTR. Many are in the game of slow but sure gathering of referrals for mant unsustainable and sustainable PTRs. Others are owners, some who take a aggressive or defensive stance. And.. Surprise.. Some owners are really honest. Well a few dozen of the hundreds are.. Still others (members and owners) are camp followers - ranging from simple to deceptive including brainwashed. The Stockholm syndrome often comes to mind. Oh my.. The list goes on and on. Motivation? It is mix.. a form of entertainment, being able to participate as a personality in a social structure juggling for dominance and at the same time generating a source of pocket money.


But how does all this help the individual who signup in good faith and becomes only one of the huge turnover of newbies - most of whom usually end up clicking for little or nothing in the meat-grinder of PTRland.

And yes, there are the dozens of PTRs that do pay. But they are not as uh attractive $$$ to a newbie..

So how will some GPF activists who wish to help clean out the worst offender WMs who give the PTR "industry" a black eye going to accomplish the mission of educating the newbie in what PTR not to join in a systematical manner that is easily understood by all?

Hmmm..

Attacking GPTBoycott.com in the AYS case was not all too productive in achieving that goal. Was it..

What was the real problem.. ?

The real problem probably was that if AYS was placed on the boyctt list then ALL PTRS who don't pay all not cheating members should also be included! Just listing a few and not listing the many who are even much much worse is not only unfair but gives the impression that those that are not listed are "honest" and paying all members. Uh hu..

YES!

Any WM who has a case history of not paying their members of their PTR should be listed at GPTBoycott.com. That.. not being paid after being promised PaidToRead constitutes nothing less than FRAUD in the advertising of the PTR!

Based on Dreamstar.. Why is Lightstar not yet listed? If it is not listed then any boycott 2 months down the line is much too late and totally ineffective.

Supertarmail should also be listed. After all isn't it also being run by the same WM who didn't and won't pay thousands of Dreamstar members..

Thousands of clickers in hopes of getting paid will only be rewarded by getting their fingers burnt! If you are interested in guiding a newbie.. How do you help prevent that?

Any suggestions?


Yll nvr gs who wrote that.. with all those spell errors

rainbucked was not too bad for advertising.. i will miss it - lol

Oh Yeah...

You and other members of so called disguised as Get Paid but is only a ADS ONLY PTR are only aiding and abetting individuals who knowingly launch PTRs that continue to SHAM hundreds of thousands of the naive peons to join in the false hope of being paid in cash value only to feel SCAMmed a few or many months later. That is unfortunate.

This support of PTRs which are usefull for ADS ONLY falls into the catagory of questionable ethics. But that is my opinion... whoever wishes to knowingly fool others (the ones who join thinking that they might actually get paid in cash value) into joining (nothing less than a smaller petty thief or con artist-take your pick) referral gatherer into wasting their time in only contributing to someone elses agenda without much promise of any reward other than the humility of finding that they will not be paid... can only label themselves with whatever internal rationalization they can conjure up to justify involvement in such a intentional deceptive activity.

Some uh.. gentler people may even timidly venture to voice that this is only rather lowly shamefull behaviour.

I thought maybe this site would pay in the end awhile back.
Then all of a sudden the WM had this big "sale" of 5-10-20 cents ads for 60 cents etc..
When I saw this I knew that only a matter of time the site would "poof"

One of MANY to add to the growing list of scam sites

doublet -
yes, i understand that i support scammer when i buy any ads in there... but one thing more - if i will not buy those ads it doesnt indicate that this scammer will feel with big troubles.. he or they have enough other advertisers and we cannot make them to not buy ads. even those peons, as u say, will spend their little money in those scam programs. and i do think that i rather support good program promoting it in any scam one

It was a good site for redemption.
You can get $1 at least per search ad.
I hope it will be back

the WM is trying to get the site back up. Today I got a mail from168.10000.com or net and it was a test email from rainbucketsmail..
but in the lower bar of the screen suddenly poppep highprofitmails up.....
Is it the same webmaster?????

Maybe this will help to clarify.

Oh my...

Monsoon time?

It's gonna start raining again..

OK... so far we know that some ppl find this PTR usefull for running ADS.

Has any member other than possibly a Referral gatherer (and uh... small token Ranom Payments) actually been paid $88 into their personal bucket?

If so.. Nows your chance to praise this PTR.

I don't know why.
But there are too many WM is cheating!

^----- same site?

Why did you post... exactly what had already been posted over 1 hour ago in this thread.. Hmm...

Seems that it is displaying the very same/exactly Home Page...

Where did you source that link from and what is the question or are you just pointing out that it is the same site and what do you think that implies and will you enlighten us as to what you do think about that?

not all data was saved - I can enter as 'advertiser' but I dont see any ads in there - lol

Hi I also am wondering what happened to RainBucketMail, now I wonder if they were in line of the Hurricane? Cause if Memory serves me right it was all at about the same time. And wondering just where they were located? How could one even find out what server they were under? Ok just my input.
karen

If my uh...poor/rich memory serves me properly, the term "Hurricane" applies only to the Western Hemisphere. The proper English word for the same weather phenonenom in the Eastern part of the Hemisphere is through and dictated by the English Language is probably "Typhoon". This, from what I understand, includes a known political boundary enclosing the country commonly known as China and imposes to everyone to only use the term "Typhoon" by the courtesy of the former might of the British Empire...

I just got into my rainbuckets.net account after a long wait...they back? At least my account is there and emails work

Oh, where is my money?

How long have you been waiting?

What was the date that you requested your Cash Payout

Has anyone in GPF, who is also a member of RainBuckets, actually reached the $88 minimum payout, requested Cashout and has actually been paid by the WM of Rainbuckets?

was curious whether they are the same site as I receive an email that said "testing new site" or something silimiar and it has a paidlink code.
Anyway, if you visit that site now it is a different site.... dunno why though.

Re "testing new site".... From the past history of this WM...

Hmm...

Makes one almost suspect that perhaps this might be a indictor that the WM of RainBuckets is actively thinking of launching another New PTR in parallel with Rainbuckets before or after RainBuckets ceases normal operation?

Given the murky detail in the past track record of this "Old" transforming to "New" WM... It would be of no surprise to those who have followed his career path...
