If you still have that smiling face in a year from now I might join Adbux, not sooner

If you want more info on Chad French you can Google (1) "Chad French" Florida .....with the quotes
or Google (2) Chad French Digg.com The info is all out there to find and is publicly accessible. It's not like someone posted PRIVATELY KNOWN information here

What do you mean? I've earned $40 so far... and that guy earned $2100 total, that's why i'm smiling... in year from now... there won't be many users you can find to refer you

It has long been GPF policy to disallow personal info being posted on this forum. That includes telephone numbers or addresses readily available on Whois, so this situation is no different. Some members have even requested that their real names not be posted. AGAIN, please do not post personal information about others whether it is available on the internet or not. Those that choose to research are free to do so, but personal information will not be allowed to be posted on this forum.

What was netbux and what happened to it? I was thinking of buying refs for Adbux but now changing my mind...

Don't buy referrals. ESPECIALLY right now. This ad program "Tyler" has been hailing... let's see what happens. I will tell you that a lot of advertisers, myself included, are sick of flakes. I also believe there are too many cooks in the kitchen for AdBux... including one they never should have unveiled... Chad French. They can holler until the cows come home about "what really happened"... they are FLAKES, they are UNPROFESSIONAL, and NOT TRUSTWORTHY. I would not make a big investment in the site and I'm sure people are tired of the things Chad did... so let me tell you something different as I have been both member and advertiser.

I really hate to say it, but Bux.To has their priorities straight. They are real good with communicating with advertisers, geez no wonder they have more ads! Not like I'm cheering on Bux.To... what they did was wrong, but they get things done. Right now, as perfect example, Bux.To slashed the ad rates to get more ads up on the site. And you know what? It seems to be working. Instead AdBux runs their ads of programs that Chad is participating in... which is NEVER a smart thing to do and pretty much tells me how much "Tyler" Chad and that other guy believe in AdBux. They allow themselves to lose business to Bux.To... and let me tell you... I know the sob story about when AdBux goes down... they will blame Bux.To and the informational websites warning people that AdBux is a scam waiting to happen. I really think the only reason of AdBux existence is to market Chad's programs, and have people foot the bill so he can continue to. At any time AdBux could have said, "Hey, we want to make this work! We are slashing the advertising costs for now while we work on the new ad system and it's a great time to get your programs seen!" And do so, then people wouldn't be crying over the 3 ads a day crap. But it is their priority (do you see?) to advertise their own programs. I don't care if "Tyler" says that what they make from the program supports AdBux... I have advertised there and I know how the sign ups can't immediately justify the cost of advertising.

Ok, so I wandered off for a bit.

My point is, don't invest a dime in a program especially when you see they aren't willing to as well. As I said, they could have done things differently, it's marketing 101. They chose not to. Please do not buy referrals. Please do not upgrade. Please keep your eye out on the ads that come in and out... you might find something greater. I know the program I advertise blows AdBux, Bux.To, and the likes away!

Advertisers may want to avoid AdBux as well, as they appear to be suddenly denying ad purchases (including one of $290) with neither a response nor a refund.

It looks like AdBux has entered the scam site stage. Also with their new changes, I'm not even sure they are being Paypal compliant so I suspect their Paypal's days are numbered.

Anyone who was thinking of upgrading, or buying referrals or even spending money to advertise this programme, DON'T! You will be throwing your money away. Their new system makes it impossible for free members to earn anything so really downlines are useless seeing how your referrals will have nothing to click on.

I suppose that people want to target to upgraded members because they think those members will be willing to spend money at other programs?

I went to browse the ads and there were 44 I could click on as a guest and as a member I could click on 1 which I didnt bother to do.

So all these people have upgraded to get extra ads and extra money from their referrals who actually have nothing to click.

I have 0 ads to click. Does not surprise me at all.

If you read the whole thing, AdBux has made Crones purchase. Not sure if that was there when you posted this link.

I'm not defending or bashing AdBux. I can only share my experience. I have logged in umpteen times in the last 2 days and I did end up catching several ads this way. It's a pain but that's the only way to get more than 1 or 2 ads a day.

Editing to add that there are quite a few disgruntled members since the NAS went up.

Wow that Crones thread got closed fast.


Looks like it's coming sooner than we thought. How long did Netbux last ?

I've just read the AdBux News Update - July 13th, 2007 at BeenPaid.

The second paragraph is extremely interesting.

That wasn't the case when I posted (timestamps will agree), but you are correct that it is now. If you look around in that subforum, or even that thread itself, you will see others were not answered and/or not resolved as they wanted. Glad you pointed that out though.

I don't even think this is much of an argument regarding AdBux. Just felt it worth mentioning to advertisers since it seems a lot of them are flocking there with small ad purchases now.

First, nobody (generally) believed that it was Chad French.

Now, everyone believes, but no one cares.

Regards,
Josh

I alway believed it was Chad and I also care now. But most people will not care until he scams them too. It is already starting. You can't earn there unless you are upgraded. Now everybody will flock to upgrade. By the time they figure it out, it will be too late. Everything for the almighty dollar.

Ditto

It would be foolish to put any money into any of these sites. There's a rush of them right now, and maybe out of the lot, a couple might survive. Hold onto your money until you know which ones are worth it.

As for Adbux, its gone from bad to worse.

that whole thing there confirms the "should I upgrade" question...

This thread




The problem with it, is the letter says it all... if people dont upgrade/buy referrals, they can't place ads, if they can't place ads, you wont get a return on your investment, and this is close to a ponzi.

I'd stay out of it all together.

When adbux started up, did they give a bonus out? What was the oringinal payout suppose to have been?

it really does suck big time! i just upgraded yesterday using my husband's paypal but zero emails now (surprise!surprise!).. i went to read their forum immediately and a lot of upgraded members are also complaining about the new system because all of them receive zero emails too... i am so ###### off! what so shameful is, i put some of my ptr programs on vacatiion cuz i thought i will be flooded with links from adbux now that i upgraded lmao.. how ironic! good thing i didn't buy lifetime (99 usd), i bought one year membership(29usd) and i was contemplating about it yesterday.. im grateful i listened to my common sense although i still regret throwing my 29 usd money away!





MAYBE HE MEANT IT WILL HELP HIM!!!!!

There was no sign up bonus as far as I know. The payout was only $5 though. Raised to $10.

Josh

can anyone tell me how to retract or refund the payment i sent yesterday on adbux? i really wanna cancell my account now and i sent him an email alreadt many times asking for refund and cancellation of membership but he didn't respond. so i guess my only option is talk to paypal. but i dunno exactly where.

1. Log in.

2. On the main page, click on the "Details" for that transaction.

3. Find the Payment ID# (at the top) and write it down.

4. Go to Resolution Center in the menu.

5. Click Report a Problem.

6. Choose Item Dispute and continue.

7. Enter the ID# as the Transaction ID and continue.

8. Choose whichever option you feel is the best, likely the latter in this case, and click continue.

9. Enter an accurate description of your case.

I think that's pretty much it, there may be one more step but I'm not going to finish it since I'm not actually trying to dispute anything here. Hope that works for you.

Josh

Thanks JSH, I hope I can have the full refund thru paypal :-( The adbux owner never responded to my emails. Zero links to click, NO referrals as promised...SCAM ARTIST! I can't even register/post in his own main forum cuz registering for new account was disabled!

You're not supposed to register for a new account in the forum. Log in with the same user info you used when you joined. Forum mods say to use PM on the forum when you can't get results through email. I think he goes by AdBux in the forum. HTH

I'm looking into the method a bit and there is actually more you need to do after you file the dispute. It's been years since I've used this so I'm getting reacquainted to how it works. The dispute gives you 20 days before PayPal even looks at it, because you're supposed to communicate. By then, it'll likely be too late. So from the menu:

1. Click on Resolution Center.

2. Under the Details of your dispute, click the # that is there (PP followed by numbers).

3. Where it says Close or Escalate choose "I would like to end communication and escalate this dispute to a claim with PayPal" and continue.

4. Select a reason, likely either that you don't believe it will be worked out or that you have evidence he may be acting fraudulently - I'll let you decide based on your situation.

5. Check the boxes, put in any info if you think more will be helpful (but they will contact you later if they need more). Send it in.

Hope you can get a refund.

Josh

Thanks for answering my question. I am a member but I know I was upset when they raised it up to cashout. I don't think i will upgrade, but i will finish up clicking untill I reach cashout level.

I don't blame you for being upset, and I hope you can make it to $10 before the whole scheme goes belly up.

The payments were supposed to turn to NET15 sometime in the future. However, it was announced by a moderator in their forum that they are actually NET15 effective not only now, but retroactive (July 14/15) prior to the announcement that they would be in the future (July 19)!
