Is Neobux a Scam?

Follow us on twitter

I first joined Neobux in 2009, and if you’re reading this, I was probably in a similar mindset then, as you are now. I had the same question, is Neobux a scam? I made a quick profit and quit Neobux. 4 years later I was looking for online opportunities and to my surprise, Neobux was still here!
In my defense, there were so many failing PTC sites and scams at that time, I didn’t feel safe investing my money and playing the long game, although now I wish I had. I wanted to put this short post together to answer the question, is Neobux a scam, for all those thinking about joining – with a list of 10 reasons that justify it is not.

Why do Some People Say Neobux is a Scam?

shady character scamIf you type in the search phrase – is Neobux a scam – into the search engines, you will find people who do class Neobux as a scam. I know very well by publishing this post, I will have people comment that they have been ripped off, or had their accounts closed for no reason.
Neobux employs a very tight anti-cheat policy and is quite capable of catching people who try to cheat the system. One example of cheating would be setting up various accounts by using a proxy. Neobux specifically states in their terms of service 2.2 (TOS), only one account per person is allowed. Once people get caught, and have their accounts closed, of course they scream “Scam!!”.
Tip: Don’t use Proxies with Neobux, or any other PTC. It’s very simple to identify the additional HTTP header information that’s appended to connection attempts from a Proxy. It also devalues the ads that pay honest members and detrimentally affects the integrity of the program. Proxies — just say no!
Another reason some disgruntled members identify Neobux as a scam is because they just don’t understand the system. For example, they rent referrals, that seemingly don’t click. The most common reason for this, is because of Neobux TOS 3.7:
The clicks you earn from referrals are directly related to the clicks you make. If you click at least 4 advertisements being a Standard / Pioneer member or you click at least 9 advertisements being a Golden member, you’ll receive all clicks made from your referrals.
I would highly recommend to anybody to read (and more importantly, understand) the Neobux TOS before opening an account.

Is Neobux a Scam – Conclusion

With so much good press, happy users, forum feedback, and the fact that I’ve invested considerable time and money – it’s hard to justify Neobux being a scam, IMO it is definitely not. With something as big as Neobux, there’s always going to be negative feedback and accusations roaming around the web, especially in the stereo typically less than trustworthy industry of PTC.
The great thing about Neobux is, even after reading this, if you are still worried about investing money – then don’t! Start off as a standard member, which is free. There is never any requirement to put a single penny of your own money in to Neobux, to make a profit. If that’s not the definition of something that is not a scam, I don’t know what is!
