personal experience:
joined the site to just earn credits at a site but soon fell in love with it seeing the great offers and my earnings flying over like crazy.soon got 7 referrals in the site by promoting my link at other sites and was amazed how my earnings increased.But out of the 7 referrals it seemed that only 1 had the same opinion about the site as me.The offers system is great too if someone joins and does not fulfill the requirements there is no need to credit them and if they click regularly u are happy just credit them and if there is any problem with the people who join just complain about them at the forum and talk to them directly.The first site where i reached payout in only 1 week.I consider the site to be great, in my top 5 list and a must join program.

Warning:If a site is not a scam today there is still a chance of it turning into a scam tomorrow so join at own risk.

To join: check the topic at the downline builder so that it gets populated more and you can get an active referral under you too.The link to the thread is http://talkptc.com/forum/index.php?topic=116.0

This is posted on the ibux.ca site :'(Trademark Infringement and Misuse of www.ibux.ca


I received this via Fedex this afternoon I'm very sorry to everyone. I was onthe verge of tears, and I saw a lawyer within 1 hour of seeing this letter. I was advised to shut down the site imeediately, otherwise I will be aboce my head in a lawsuit. I have spent countless amount of effort and hours on end to make this a great place. I'm sorry to everyone. I will cancel the URL by Friday midnight to avoid aggrevating the situation. I will refund monies paiid in the past few days and large purchase. I was advised not to conduct any further business with any of my "clients" in the near future to avoid problems. Put yourself in my shoes... I'm sorry, I feel very ashamed, I did not know any of this, I tried my best. You may throw the word "Scammer" around, but I am not, and I have never had bad intentions. The email address, support@ibux.ca will be active for a short period of time. PLEASE SEND ONE EMAIL if you made a recent purchase, I will refund as much as I can. I will miss this place, I know you must feel angry. I love you all, and appreciate that you trusted me and this site. I don't blame you.

Sad the only site where i had many active referrals and where my payout was still pending is about to go.So what do u people think another scam, personally i considering the owners rep and his genuine reason do not think that it might be one.Just another good earner gone now.

Yeah, it seems easy enough  :P ... but he didn't want to risk running into any more trouble.  He refunded members and was fearful to start any other PTC ventures (even if it had a totally different name).

I spoke to my lawyer today, and she said something to the extent of cipher, and I've been trying to explainit, I think I'mjust tired and fristrated, I'm not expressing myself well.  I pasted what he wrote, as he got it on the nose.

" Did you read the letter from the lawyer. They might take part or if not all of what he earned.This is a serious legal issue!!

From Ibux
"For those that asked, i cannot and will not open another site, and move the database over, nor will I be onvolved in PTC  for a while, because I don't want to infringe on any rights, or steal clients."

Meaning if he opens another site and brings us to it he could be in trouble for stealing parties from the site that is filing a complaint against him."
