Big Money PTC (bigmoneyptc.com)

Big Money PTC is a PTC site that we are putting on our Scam List. Their PTC program claims to be different from the rest. They try to make it appear that you will earn big money and this is for the serious investors. We believe it is all smoke and mirrors and this site is a big risk to investors who are thinking about investing in refs or membership packages.

Here are our reasons why you should think twice before you invest there:

1. Ties with a previous scammer - Yes, that's right. Looks like this site is one of "Michael Pratt's" creation. The owner of DingoBux, a known scam site. Any site with the name of Michael Pratt or GPTNetworks is doomed and bound to be a scam sooner or later. According to the Whois info: contact information for bigmoneyptc.com sales@gopratt.com (responsible for bigmoneyptc.com) See screen shots at the end of this entry for more info.

2. No Forum! - Again, sites that don't have a forum, is a big fat clue that the owner doesn't care about feedback or discussion about his site.

3. New Site - As of today, the site has been up for about 2 weeks. And yes, we are aware that all PTC sites have to start out new. However, sites that are new and are untested for at least a year, members need to be extra careful with. Especially if it has ties with a known scammer. Site Creation date: 02 May 2009 23:06:20

4. Whois info private - Most of the time when a owner tries to hide their whois info it is a sign that they want their identity hidden, just in case they decide to close the site down and scam their members.

5. Too good to be true - If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

At Big Money PTC, you can purchase advertising as little as $3 for 1000 hits. Please correct me if I am wrong... The adverser pays only $3 for 1000 hits, however the viewer gets paid 10 cents per view. Anyone knows how much that is that they are paying everyone to view these 1000 hits? Lets math that out...

1000
x$ .10
--------------
=$100.00
So the advertiser pays only $3. So where are they getting the other $97 from?!!
How are they paying you for this??

We would not recommend this site to anyone. We consider this site a huge investment risk.

UPDATE 05/21/09:
We received a email from Big Money PTC:

Hello XXXXX XXXXXXX ,

Today we have received an investment capital that will allow us to make this a $1 per click website.

Future ads will no longer be worth $0.10 each they will be worth $1 each!

Have a great weekend!

Now instead of 10 cents they are paying $1 per click??! Even worse!! This site can not withstand those kind of rates! Sounds like the owner is desperate for funds.

July 31, 2009 : Received a email in regards to BigMoneyPTC from the site owner. It was a update email sent to all members. I also received the same exact email from RichPTC. In both emails it talks about how members are continuously asking for their payments. BOTH SITES! How odd. I put both emails side by side. I will let you be the judge on whether or not these two sites are scams and owned by the same owner.
