SCAM or NOT?

Regarding MysteryClickers

I am writing this article out of shear

frustration and having no other

Recourse, since the administration of

this site has not responded

To ANY OF MY EMAILS to them.

On May 12th I saw this ad at one of my

Traffic Exchange sites.

Get Your First $1,000 Online

Join one of the BEST PTC Sites

· Paid To Click Ads worth $1 to $5

· Paid To Sign Up worth $25

· Paid To Read Ads worth $1 to $5

· 100% downline earnings!!

Sounded really good to me and since I

had seen quite a few PTC sites, in

My surfing the Traffic Exchanges,

clicked on it, came to: MysteryClickers.

So after having read the Terms and

Conditions, which seemed reasonable;

I signed up for it.

Purchased the Silver Upgrade package

and immediately started to click

Away.

The site is fun to use, you actually do

click on links with $1 to $ 4 dollars

Earnings. There is a $1000.00 minimum

Pay Out on this.

I was really excited when I reached

$1100.50, so I requested a withdrawal

On the 17th

.

I also purchased more ad packages-

see email below-

and was  shortchanged

on the number of referrals purchased,

versus what

I received. There is quite a difference

between 51 (purchased) and

Received only 22. No resolve on this

issue either.

NOW THE HASSLE BEGINS. When I

saw on the 19th, that it (the request)

was still

In Withdrawals pending, I sent an email

to the administration as to when I

May expect to receive my Pay Out; In

the meantime I am earning more in

The days to follow and am now up to

over $10,000.

As of this day I have Not received a single response from Them to my Questions.

There is no FAQ section, nor a

support of any kind.

This is the last email I sent to them and of course no answer to this one either.

To whom it may concern.I lost count of how many times I have sent messages to you at this contact address
admin@mysteryclickers.com

, yet still no answer.
You accept payment for purchases, memberships, yet you will not answer my questions.

Again please advise as to what is holding up my request for payout. I made my first one on May 17th.

Here are the details of my purchases; perhaps this will motivate you to answer my questions.

Is there actually some live person managing this site??


I await your answer.
Monika

This brings me again to the Big Question: Is this a

SCAM or NOT?

If anyone else has had a similar experience with “MysteryClickers” Please respond on this blog; perhaps

Together we can get some answers. It would really be a shame to have to chalk this off as another losing proposition.

Thanks for reading.

    hi Monika,

    about your problem, I think you should report that transaction dispute to Paypal. inside your account, go to Resolution Center or Contact Us.

    I hope it can help you.

    regards,
    Hadi

    Hi Monika. I haven’t reached payout yet with mysteryclickers. Sounds like it’s more of the same ol’, same ol’ that I’ve encountered with other ptc’s. Have you received any other replies? If you would, I’d appreciate being kept posted about your situation. I spend a couple of hours daily clicking on this site. Honestly, I’d rather spend that time on something “sure”. Hope you get your money! Please keep me posted. Thank you and good luck.

    According to their terms they state that they payout on or after the 15th every month. They also state that they don’t actually pay the whole amount that we are making. If I don’t get any payout I am no longer going to waste my time on this.

  4. Comment by Ernie — June 3, 2009 @ 11:37 PM

    Have you got a response yet???
    I have been there also since 15 May
    Have requested witdrawals no payment yet.

    Monika;

    I believe you responded to something similar that I posted a while back. Here ia a response I received for the admin. I thought this might interest you.

    Re: Re: Re: Someone better be fixing or explaining!
    Your first three should be paid by June 15th or June 20th.

    ——— Original Message ———-
    Look you guys are into me for well over $10,000 of your so-called mysterybucks, and I am a paid member. So now I am waiting for you to start processing the pending payments. If you don’t start paying out soon you will be looking at the heaviest reverse advertising campaign I can muster. I have analyzed your domain and have found that you are associated with several of these socalled high payout PTC sites. It appears they are all connected to the same company. Your registars are the same and the addresses are the same. I am withholding judgement until I see you payout legitamately to the registered and paid members. Also I have noticed that you have removed your proof of payout list from the site. These actions are not good indications. I have created copies of all pages to have proof of what is owed me. So Resetting anything will do you no good.

    It should be pending if you just withdrawed.

    Look I’m not going to quit and I do not cheat. But someone better get my withdrawl straightened out that I did yesterday. I log everthing, primarially because I do not trust anyone. I transferred $ 1000.50 yesterday and now it is not in the list. So someone better fix it.

    Hi, i just joined mystery clickers, just like you i saw their ad re pay-out scheme. This is my 1st time to join a PTC site. Had anybody from any PTC site have received payment from clicking ads? When i saw this blog, i just wondered if there is really such a thing as paid to just clicking ads. Or maybe just a scam and a waste of time. I hope others who have joined any PTC site can respond and confirm on the PTC’s claim that they pay you to click ads. Please do respond to this blog, as it would help others and shed light in this matter.

  7. Comment by Darren — June 4, 2009 @ 2:21 PM

    Hi Monika,
    I came accross your page here from one of the Mystery Clickers ad links! I searched around (worried that I may be wasting my time with that PTC site) and found one person who had been paid out by them.
    On the site it says that the amounts aren’t literal, they are converted into real money upon payout, the value of a “Mystery Dollar” depending on how much the site makes.
    Anyway, the person who was paid out discovered that 100 Mystery dollars = 1 cent! (http://www.blogcatalog.com/blog/spending-less-than-you-earn/90607668417219dd7f36835789ba8859)
    I also found a photo “proof of payment” from Mystery Clickers – it was for $100.00 (PayPal account) and from a company called Illusive Web Services (http://www.illusive-web.com/). It appears that Illusive Web wrote the script, perhaps you can get ahold of Mystery Clickers through them.
    I’ve been slowly researching PTC sites (whilst carrying on with my programming work) and have so far only found two worthwhile ones (more about them below). Generally PTC sites, in order to make money themselves, won’t pay more than 8c per view (to the member and his referrer/s combined) and will limit the number of available adverts to click on per day.
    Bux.to: probably the oldest and biggest PTC site. 1c per click and referral click; 1.25c for premium members. Take up to 6 weeks to pay out (although they seem to have sped up recently for AlertPay accounts). You can expect 15-25 ads per day (as a normal member).
    I’ve bougth referrals on this site and about a third were inactive, still I get the amount invested in referrals back every three weeks from their clicks, on average. If you buy referrals on this site, go for the 500 members package as this is the only one for which they will replace referrals who are inactive. Referals are are bought, not rented (like some other PTC sites).
    AlertBucks: Haven’t finished checking this one out. Looks like it’s by the same company as Bux.to. 2c per click, 4c for premium. Is fairly new so a lot of ads to click on each day at the moment.

    Hi,

    Please keep me up dadted to your quest.

    I am also new to this program and very inspired to click coz of the big payouts. Though I did not upgrade but coz of my downlines my earnings grow faster than I thought. Hope to hear from you soon…

  9. Comment by Johannes — June 4, 2009 @ 5:59 PM

    Hi Monika,
    I’m frustrated as well.I put my first withdrawal request For $1002 3 days ago in. They actually responded to ticket see below:
    I’m not sure about this program anymore…
    Is there any program out there which is reliable?
    Let me know if you get paid.
    I’m in two minds if I should promote this.
    Regards
    Johannes

    There answer:

    It always varies month to month I usually pay around the 15th to the 14th of the following month.

    ——— Original Message ———-
    Hi Admin,
    I found it q uiet deceiving when you advertise you can make $1 to $4 per click and then you find out it really doesn’t mean anything.
    Could you please let me know what is your payout ratio on $1000 mystery dollors to real dollors.
    You mention this in your terms, but it should be made clear on your website in FAQ.
    What does Autopay mean at all? It’s not an Autopay.Do you pay every 15th?
    I’d appreciate an answer.
    Regards
    Johannes

    It appears you have canceled your ad from this site. I am assuming that you finally received notification from the admin that you will begin receiving your earnings on the 15th of the month as I did.

    Thomas Page
    tpage3@gmail.com

    No, Thomas, I DID NOT CANCEL my ad at MysteryClickers. After I did manage to get 1,119 hits on this post, THEY disapproved it.
    At least I got the word out, that’s what is important.
    Yes I finally did get an email notification from them as to payouts.
    Please scroll to the bottom for my comments.

    Thanks Darren, for the info on Bux.to, I’ve seen it in the TE’s many times, will check into that
    Myself. Sounds like this is the REAL THING.
    As to Mystery Clickers, I will keep everyone up to date.

  12. Comment by leaderco — June 9, 2009 @ 7:38 AM

    Hi Thomas.
    I have not seen your posting before, but good to read now and thanks. I too make copies
    of everything. I feel the same about setting up Ad blasting campaigns If they will not pay us.
    I too have discovered that MC owns several other PTC companies, all run boy the same
    Administration. Please keep me informed on your findings and I will post mine here.

  13. Comment by leaderco — June 9, 2009 @ 7:42 AM

    Hi Hadi.

    Thanks for your post. After sending MC another email in the support
    Area as to still owing me 25 more referrals I had paid for; Low and behold they were
    added to my account yesterday ;>)

  14. Comment by leaderco — June 9, 2009 @ 8:12 AM

    Hi Ernie.

    Yes I finally got a response from MC’s. Here it is:

    If you read the terms you know payouts from the 15th of previous month til 14th following month
    are paid from 15th til 15th of next month. For example April 15th payouts til May 14th are paid
    from May 15th til June 14th according to the rate for that month. Payouts from May 15th til June 14th
    are paid June 15th til July 14th. All depends on how many payouts there is on what day you will be paid.

    Hope this helps.
    I will keep everyone posted on the days to come. Payout days are arriving soon, I hope.

  15. Comment by Gordon Silverman — June 20, 2009 @ 2:26 AM

    There is good news and bad news here on Mystery Clickers. The Good news is that I have been paid. It will take at least 45 days from the time you request payment until they credit your Paypal account, try and be patient. The bad news is really bad!!! Mystery bucks should be called Mystery “cents”, because that is all your going to get. They pay $0.50 for every $5,000 earned in your account. From your My Account page scroll down and click on manage ads, then click on create a new ad, then click on the word TERMS, which is next to Does not violate. All this info is in the first paragraph. What a place to hide this! Hope this helps and I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news

  16. Comment by Gordon Silverman — June 20, 2009 @ 3:13 AM

    I almost forgot, if anyone would like to report this site, or any site as a scam, I recently came across a brand new site that is all about reviewing any site, program, or person doing business on the web. They are hungry for new reviews and will pay for it.

    Thanks so much for the information Gordon.
    That is really sad to get so little money for our efforts, but we do get a lot of traffic to
    our sites. I do so much better to earn, with the top 10 traffic exchanges.

  18. Comment by leaderco — June 21, 2009 @ 6:58 AM

    Thanks Gardon.
    I will keep this site handy.

  19. Comment by meghan — June 28, 2009 @ 11:02 AM

    if you see any sites like they..dont actucally pay you what is on the site… there all profit sharing sites.. so they only a portion of site revenue..they are all scams……

  20. Comment by Vonny Ambar — July 30, 2009 @ 9:35 AM

    Like Gordon. Mystery Clickers paid me and it will take at least 45 days from the time you request payout. I take almost 2 month from the time I request payout. They pay me $0.05 for every $5,000.
    Hope this help too…. :)

    Finding the cheapest airline ticket can be a daunting task. Some of us have been so ruthless to spend more time searching for the cheapest airline tickets than we will actually spent on our vacation. Some sites allow you to name a price others you bid. If you book through a travel agency then you have a middle man and they get a big cut.

    Even with a travel agent you can get airfare tickets for free and all you have to do is pay the tax! There are ways to take a free vacation including airfare and hotel. Did you know kids can fly for free in most cases? There are a lot of loopholes in the airline industry that most people are just not aware of! For example you could save up to 70% on first class or business class. There are a lot of secrets the airlines do not want you to know.

    There are other people who would just rather have a travel reward credit card and earn air miles this in essence will allow you to fly for free. If you have a personal travel agent and like to travel to Las Vegas, Ft Lauderdale or Orlando there are a few solutions that beat trolling around the search engines dailey searching for the cheapest airline tickets and end up with the lowest prices available cheaper than your travel agent can find.

    Why not be your own travel agent and book your own tickets for that domestic or international flight and save?

    There are airline booking search engines available that just focus primarily on vacations and discount airline tickets and cruises. You can even directly book with the airline that is offering the discount. My favorite travel search engine actually searches over 200 other travel websites for the best deal possible. Now how is that for saving time!

    The internet is wonderful place to shop for airfare and plane tickets or vacation packages. Your best prices may not always be found online. The best way off line way to get the lowest prices is call the airlines ticket office and ask directly and usually a call placed after midnight after the system has been updated will often offer the lowest prices on airfare or available packages. Sometimes the airlines ticket office will offer vacation packages that include air fare and hotel that no agent will offer at unheard of prices.

    Sometimes your best solution is not always a free one but once you have the knowledge to find the cheapest airline tickets you can use it over and over and feel confident you are getting rock bottom prices.

    To search for the lowest airfares please visit Airline Tickets website.

    Good day, sun shines!
    There have were times of hardship when I didn’t know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
    I have never imagined that there weren’t any need in big initial investment.
    Nowadays, I feel good, I begin to get real money.
    It’s all about how to select a proper partner who utilizes your funds in a right way – that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.

    You can ask, if there are such firms? I’m obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
