Rich PTC, Found SCAM!!

Yesterday after getting finished with my last posting, I continued on my quest to make some sort of money. I stumbled on another PTC site (which have recently become my favorites) called Rich PTC (http://www.richptc.com/index.php?ref=sdodson0809). This site definitely first caught my eye due to the fact of they are offering $1 for every add you view and $10 for every website you sign up for. :o Definitely deserves OH face, considering all the other PTC sites I have come upon have offered pennies, and some not even full pennies.

I signed up yesterday, partly out of curiosity and partly out of excitement. I was automatically greeted with 6 adds. GREAT!! I made $6 in 6 min. Realizing this I had to know what the minimum payout was…..$1000…..hmmm little bit of a downer. Instead of getting discouraged I applied the thinking I used with all the other sites.
Stick with it, and when you finally reach the payout, that will be extra money you have just sitting there. WONDERFUL!!!

Seriously who couldn’t need $1000 all the time??

So sticking with it, yesterday I made six dollars, today so far I have made $14. Which puts my account balance at $20 so far for 2 days. So far no shortage of adds to click on. And I have a sign-up, which I will complete when I get home, for $10. That should put my account balance at $30. AWESOME!!!!!

Then a little birdie jumped in my ear, what if they don’t pay when I reach the $1000? Using my Google knowledge I searched for scams on them. I want hard proof that they are either good or bad, not just talk. All I was able to find was a bunch of people saying they were on their proof of payment list, but didn’t even belong to the website. HMM VERY Fishy. I could not however, find anybody who was actually with the website that has requested payment.

In further searching I found their terms page, (should have looked at this first but you know). Some things really concerned me with this page. For starters their Liability Restrictions (below)

Liability
Liability : Richptc.com will not be liable for delays or failure in performance caused by acts of God, war, terrorism, strike, labor dispute, work stoppage, fire, act of government, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar, beyond our control. Richptc.com reserves the right to restrict, alter, or modify fees, benefits, rules, regulations, special offers, membership terms and conditions or terminate services any time and without notice. Richptc.com, its subsidiaries, affiliates and agents are not responsible for any products and services of other program participating companies or partners.

What exactly does acts of god entail? And the fact that they can can terminate services at any time without notice? Does this mean they can cancel my account right as I reach $1000, without paying me? And they reserve the right to modify fees, and rules, and such? This all of coarse put a hole in my stomach. Only because I am young, and I am just thinking of the array of things all of this could mean.

Another part that concerned me is the Payment part (listed below):

Payouts
You can request payment with your account balance has reached $1,000. Payments are made via PayPal or Alertpay only. Payment waiting time is 60 business day(s). All earnings listed and/or represented by Richptc.com are estimated value(s), actual value(s) subject to change with or without notice.
My only question to this is why 60 BUSINESS days, and what happens if the website folds within those 60 days? Or worse if they terminate my services without notice?

Unfortunatly like I said I have not found hard proof of good or bad. I am of coarse going to be checking at least every other day, waiting for just one person to reach that payout point. Until then I am going to press on, we’ll see if I get my payment or not. I will NOT be upgrading UNLESS I get my payment.

Joining this one (as with all of them) is up to you. If you join, you help reach the $1000 mark, and we can find out quicker. If not you may save yourself some time and wasted excitement. I am not recommending this one either way, but will frequently posting updates.



Cons: Unable to find any real good or bad info on them. A little iffy about their policy. When I say REAL good or bad info, I mean I want somebody who actually joined the site, made it to the $1000, and then requested payment. Not people who looked at the site and said no this looks scammy, because honestly, I think all the PTC sites look scammy, who would have thought you could make money by clicking ads?? I am willing to waste my time to know for sure.

Pros: Dollar clicks, $10 sign ups, so far new adds every day. 6 adds first day, 8 adds second day (so far)

Update 06/26/09: Uh-Oh readers it seems RichPTC is down due to upgrading to a more powerful server, and should be back in 12 hours. We will see, but this is usually when they go and go for good. I will keep close eye.....
