Title: Oneworldbux.com - Interesting PTCBox-like concept.. but Scam!
Post by SolidSnake on 25th Jul, 2014 at 2:52am
So, I've just noticed this site that promises to be much like PTCBox...

It has a couple of $0.03 ads and there are upgraded memberships that make a user earn up to 800% of his personal clicks..
So that equals to $0.03 x 800% = $0.24 per click.. ok that's a bit too unstable for sure..

At any case, though it's too risky, it could prove to be a good get-in-get-out fast type of program..
Also they support 20 different payment methods which is innovative indeed.. I give them that.. :)

I'll run some tests on it now.. to see how it performs. I have some spare free traffic to use so there's no harm for me..

[edit]Testing for 10 days with upgraded membership :
Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Balance $0.8372 $1.4379 $2.1542 $2.9636 $3.7509 $4.5958 $5.3759
Earned Today $0.8372 $0.6007 $0,7163 $0.8094 $0.7873 $0.8449 $0.7801

I just thought of participating for one major reason. (I would invite rui too alongwith me.) If they stand us, you can enjoy the benefits. :D

Just this thing caught my attention.


Quote:
Payouts are done to the payment processor that you used most for adding funds or purchases.

Payouts will only be done if you have added $5.00 to your account by any payment processor or upgraded your account. No exemption will be granted or allowed.

Any member found using multiple accounts and auto clicking software will be banned right away!!!!

We will reserve the right to stop all payments to certain countries due to heavy cheating and misuse.

Considering I just lost several hundreds of dollars (my biggest loss yet) just yesterday, I'm not particularly interested in joining another site which doesn't even have one year to its name  >:(

I don't really think it will make it to reach one year with the current rates.. that's why I was talking about get-in-get-out-fast.. :P

The getting-out is the hard part.
After all, I wanted to get out ever since the share system went kaput. But the perimeter had already been sealed and the watch dogs let loose.

It is, but considering the fact that there is a membership that costs $5, lasts 10 days and offers 425% personal earnings..,

Currently there are ads available that if a standard member clicks he will earn $0.22.

Clicking for 10 days someone would earn : 10 x $0.22 = $2.2

Multiplying with 425% as upgraded member he would earn :

$2.2 x 4.25 = $9.35

so in 10 days profit is $9.35 - $5 = $4.35

Now, the next 10 days would only cost $0.65 if we reinvest.
So, in the next 10 days it will all be pure profit.

I'm not sure the site will survive too long this way but if it stays for 20 days.. it will translate to $9.35 x 2 - $5.65 = $13.05 profit.
I guess it's rather easy to test.. and it will cost 5 bucks.. which I don't mind spending there..  :dontknow

Ok, this will be a funny experience.. I think I'll test it starting tomorrow..
I even got a ref already.. through my text ad on my site.. [smiley=crazy.gif]

Orange is actually one of the best colors to use for marketing if you study the psychology of colors. I have used it many times in the past and it gets lots of clicks for banners. That and red are two very powerful marketing colors. If someone is using orange, they have probably studied the psychology of colors

I knew that.. it's just that I have been scammed by a lot of orange looking sites in the past..  :beatup

Probably because they try to make up for the lack of a sustainable model with marketing tricks, namely psychology of colors.

Most likely yes..

So, I've "got-in-fast" by upgrading paying $5 for 10 days and my first day ends with $0.8372 in my balance..
Let's see if I can get-out-fast as well in 10 days.. [smiley=13-latin.gif]

The same admin also owns another PTC called UnitedWorldBux that is more down to earth.

UnitedWorldBux have started at Apr/24/2014 while OneWorldBux's payments have started at May/9/2014 according to their payment proof pages, and they have both been paying up to now.. so we'll see...

If you get anything from non-investing referrals' clicks, then I would also sign up and click. But only thing is, the site should not collapse on my stepping in. :D

This is the point with unstable sites.. they can collapse anytime..
Statistically speaking though.. they usually collapse when we get in..  [smiley=lolx.gif]

Ok, it's time to beat our bad luck!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Cash is accumulating quickly so far.. let's see if I make it out.. :P

Day 7 :

Direct Referrals : 10
Balance : $5.3759
Earned Today : $0.7801

So we've already accumulated our investment in 7 days.
The rest is profit now, at the end of the 10th day I will request a payment and pray..  ;D

Post by SolidSnake on 5th Aug, 2014 at 3:52pm
Unfortunately I didn't find time to do the clicks 2 days ago so I missed a day of earnings..
Nevermind I am already in profit so whatever..

Day 10 :

Direct Referrals : 14
Balance : $7.3112
Earned Today : $1.9353 (Equals 2 days x $0.96765)

So.. I'm now requesting cashout.. let's see how it will go..  ::)

Title: Re: Oneworldbux.com - Interesting PTCBox-like concept..
Post by SolidSnake on 5th Aug, 2014 at 4:42pm
Funny thing.. there is a maximum cashout rule for every membership type and fees for every transaction...

Etc.

For standards :
$7 daily limit

And the fees are :
2.5% + $1.. which means that cashing out $7 we actually receive $5.82.. That is really lame and vastly reduces the amounts that can be earned on the site..

For example in 10 days as Lifetime Premium Test account I accumulated $7.3112 out of which I managed to withdraw $7 and will actually receive $5.82 leaving $0.3112 in my balance...

I invested $5 and my profit is limited to $0.82 in these 10 days..
Of course an actual Lifetime Premium account that costs $20 is supposed to allow larger cashouts ($10 per day) with the same fees I suppose so at my earning rate it would take $20 / $0.73112 = 27.35 days to accumulate and if we remove the fees from 3 x up to $10 cashouts = $3.75 so.. it would take at least a month to get the initial investment back and then start making profit..

The point is... will the site survive long enough for this to happen?  :dontknow

Post by SolidSnake on 30th Nov, 2014 at 6:20pm
Ok, it seems that the admin of OneWorldBux, UnitedWorldBux and FutureWorldBux has officially gone rogue so we can call those sites scams now. The site has stopped paying lately, promising for updates on the matter with new plans etc..

Today I wanted to check out some advertising campaigns I had running there only to find out that my account was deleted..
I checked it out and noticed this new "term" in the site's T.o.S. :


Quote:
Accounts until 30th of November are suspended and account funds of these members will be transfered to the registered payment
methods within the next 12 months. None of these accounts will be re-activated but new accounts can be opened by these members.
   
From 1st of December OneWorldBux will start afresh with zero accounts, new rules and new memberships. Every member accepts the TOS at time of registration, no support tickets regarding old accounts will be
answered. All Forum posts regarding old accounts will be deleted and the poster banned from use of the forum. All members accept this with their registration.

Typical scamming act if you ask me.. a site reset is not any different than a site closing down with a lame excuse.
So, people should stay away from these sites as they all belong to the same fraud admin.

Here's a seo friendly version of the post :

[list bull-redcheck]
  • OneWorldBux Scam
  • UnitedWorldBux Scam
  • FutureWorldBux Scam

    Lol, it wouldn't be surprising if that "guru" took over the sites.
    But no.. this admin has ambitions.. maybe JJ was his mentor and these sites were his initiation ritual where he went rogue..   :D

    Well.. even so, at least JJ has the decency to let his members know in his T.o.S. that they only won't be paid in this lifetime..  ;D
    On the other side.. this scammer makes promises like this..:


    Quote:
    Old Accounts and Balances until 30th of November

    All old accounts and its balances are suspended. The balances will be paid to the registered payment options within the next 12 months. All former members will receive their payments during that period.

    FutureWorldBux/OneWorldBux/UnitedWorldBux start afresh from 1st of December with new TOS, membership settings and click rates.

    Former members can register a new account but will have to start as a standard account holder like all other new members.

    Maybe that's where he failed to follow the master's instructions.. maybe that's where his deviation started..
