Laughable PTC scams

    I found a few PTC (paid to click) sites on my travels (I'm doing some research) and I found some ridiculously scammy PTC sites. If you have never seen a PTC site then the idea is you get paid to look at websites via a click on an ad.

    You usually get paid less than 1 cent per click and payouts are only made when you reach something like $1-10. Usually there are about 5 ads to clisk on a day if that.

    Wait these are the so called legit sites.

    I found vibrantvitalities which claims to pay $200 for each click and they pay out when you have earned $90000.:confused:

    I can't believe anyone would actually fall for that. After a bit of investigating I found the owner runs lots of these sites.

    I'd guess he is raking in cash from advertisers then getting members to click on the ads who think they are going to get $200 each time. By the time the members realise they have been had the owner has moved on with a new slew of sites.

    He could in theory go on like this as long as he can find advertisers. He is playing on peoples greed and obvious stupidity.
