| After the Juice Boosted report, I had people e-mailing me hate-mail, claiming I was a dirty-liar, and that they'd photo-copy their check when received.
It takes a particular brand of dumb to get hooked into these MLM schemes. Usually future spammers... |

What was the fate of Juice Boosted and the affiliates? I assumed the whole thing disappeared in puff of smoke, but was anyone taken, suing, or is a criminal actions pending against those involved? |

Just evaporated. Nobody got paid. I think we may have taken the legs out from under it. (Google for "Juice Boosted")....
It couldn't be pursued because they never got to the point where they could act on the data they were collecting (as far as I saw)... |

This also shows why any effort to solve online problems - whether scams, spam, viruses, etc. - simply by "educating" users, is doomed to fail. Not only is there a fairly significant portion of users who appear to be incurably gullible; but there is also a constant flow of newbies who may be fooled once and never again, but still provide enough initial fodder to keep scams and schemes going. |

If I were you, I'd be mailing those numbskulls a nice large "I TOLD YOU SO".
In 72 point font.
Subtlety doesn't work these days; you have to ram it down their throats, sideways, preferably with the sharp corners exposed.
Yes I'm being mean, but I caught flak for pointing that scam out too. "omg its legit nuh-uh i ain't listening to you la la la".
Ha!

educate thyself
don't know what you are doing? find out. ignorance is an excuse for being lazy. with search engines being as easy to use as they are, there is no excuse for ignorance
as for scams, if it's about money for little or no work, it's a scam. period. |

Once people get hooked into these things, it's easier for them to believe that they really will get paid rather than admit that they were scammed. It's the same principle that sucks people deeper and deeper into the 411 scams.

You got that right. From time to time I mail out post cards for my business to make sure I stay busy (or else my wife starts thinking of things like painting the living room, etc.)
I always have my website listed along with my email address and phone. I always ask if they looked up my website. To date 100% have said NO. I find that unbelievable, but that's just me. There IS one born every minute and they are everywhere, and apparently breeding.

I have made 100.00. I tried the first day it came out getting over 100 referrals, they are still fairly active. Now I'm at 100.00 and I do not even search any every day, my referrals do. So, I'm trying to say is this must be a scam because I'm not even trying and im up to 100.00. If it really pays out, this is the best pay site by far. If it doesn't then people know they wasted their money on referrals and they know that it was a scam anyways. I personall beleive it is. Because it's not possible to pay such a fee to searches and at the same time make a decent profit. |

yeah, I've had jobs that pay more with about the same amount of work. The reasons I initially decided to try netbux were:
1) I only had to give an email adress
2) I didn't have to pay to do it
3) It didn't seem all that great (less than 5 bucks an hour is bellow minimum wage.)
I basically just figured that I would search while brushing my teeth, thus getting paid below minimum wage for something I had been nothing for before (plus it made me brush my teeth a little longer, which was good).
Right now I just waiting for confirmation either way for whether this is a scam or not. until I know, I'm not even going to search while brushing my teeth. |
