Unfortunately RichPTC is a sister site of BigMoneyPTC and they also offer ridiculous payment amounts that can’t possibly be afforded from advertisements on a PTC site, sadly there’s masses of similar sites out there and new ones are appearing all the time. I’m afraid you most definitely won’t see 1 cent of the money RichPTC owe you and they almost certainly will ignore all correspondence. Sorry to tell you bad news, but it’s better to know so you to move on to better things rather than wasting your time hoping for money that you just won’t receive no matter what you do. It’s also proved very easy for fraudulent sites like this to show fake past payout information in an attempt to deceive and convince people into trusting them, the list of so called payouts and the amount they’ve supposed to have paid is worthless made up rubbish, they won’t have paid anyone a single Cent.

Please see my above comment with links to 2 sites that list genuine PTC sites that certainly pay out, but expect no more than around 1p or 1-2 Cent per click maximum as this is all that genuine sites can feasibly afford to pay out from their advertising revenue. If you don’t think this is enough money for your work, then simply don’t bother using PTC sites at all as this is the real deal!

Receiving a small payment however is infinitely better than being offered $1 or more a click while receiving absolutely nothing because of being taken in by a nasty scam. Also by using a fraudulent site like RichPTC or BigMoneyPTC, you’re increasing the revenue into the pockets of the criminals who own these sites as they get more money from advertising. Unfortunately not enough people refer to these scam artists as criminals and they are CRIMINALS! They should be taken more seriously by authorities as it’s fraud and deception and it’s making these scam artists big money with hardly any risk of being caught and arrested! There’s now so many fraudulent sites on the Internet including PTC sites that it’s become very difficult for what’s becoming the minority of genuine sites to survive and gain people’s trust. People are becoming sceptical of many of these genuine sites too since they’ve often been scammed so many times in the past and they need all the help they can get to survive, yet authorities still virtually ignore this type of fraud as very low priority and that’s part of why it’s now so wide spread.

How Too Easy It Is To Set-up A Fraudulent PTC Site To Rip People Off:

Its far too easy for virtually anyone with some website experience to set-up a PTC site that runs virtually on autopilot once it’s initially advertised and this can be achieved freely too, often by simply optimising and submitting the site to search engines like Google.

Many webmasters will probably start by placing a some bogus PTC ads themselves so the site looks active until people start paying for real ads as the amount of users increases, they may also under charge for paid Ads initially to get the site through the most difficult stage which is getting started. It’s much easier to set-up a fraudulent site over a genuine site that pays out since the books don’t need to balance, the business doesn’t need to be properly registered, tax doesn’t need to be paid and they can offer much higher payouts to get people’s attention since nothing will ever be paid out anyway, they can also add various bogus users that they can claim have been paid on the payment proof page. Sadly there’s also much more money to be made from fake PTC sites over genuine ones since all revenue goes into the owners pocket since members don’t receive a single Cent. Also BigMoneyPTC, RichPTC and most similar fruadulent PTC sites are even using a pirated unlicensed pre-made script that can be downloaded illegally too, in the case of BigMoneyPTC, they’ve illegally used the CashCrusader script without paying a measly $69.95 for a licence when they’ve most likely made thousands of dollars illegally (there’s a long list of other bogus sites that are also illegally using this particular PTC script and if they won’t even pay $69.95 to purchase a legitimate licence, they’re bound to be a fruadulent). The only cost for setting up such a site is the domain cost (around $10) and the cost of hosting (often less than $10 a month), but they might decide to set-up their own webserver instead so there’s no host for people to complain to that could bring the website down, although I’m sure they will know of plenty of dodgy hosts that won’t intervene even when they are informed and know they’re hosting a scam site. They also nearly always pay to have their identity hidden on WhoIS which costs a minimal amount unless false information is supplied instead.

Once the fruadulent PTC site is off to a start with a good few users, some of them will choose to advertise the site since they will be promised extremely generous referral payouts for doing so (which off course won’t ever be paid), this also ultimately creates bogus good reviews along with affiliate links to the site. After a short time they will start doctoring fake payouts along with bogus names to convince people that the site is genuine when it most certainly isn’t, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s even a dodgy script that allows them to do this on autopilot too. The owner will also usually ensure that it takes quite sometime before anyone reaches the payment threshold and they will often impose at least a 60 day wait for payments since it’s then too late for people to file a dispute with Paypal / Alertpay or similar if they’ve brought a premium paid membership. By the time payments are overdue and the site is reported as a certain scam anywhere on the Internet, they will already have made a lot of money from plenty of unfortunate users, plus they’ll probably even have some paid premium members who think they’ll earn extra money when in fact they’ll still earn absolutely nothing.

There’s also nothing stopping a scam artist from setting up multiple sites to multiply the amount of illegal money they earn, while ensuring that they have at least one replacement site for each existing site that starts to becomes saturated when it becomes overexposed as being a scam. Unfortunately they have barely any chance of being punished for committing their crime. It’s very easy money where most of time the scam artist can simply sit and watch their bank account balance increase, but decent respectable people won’t ever choose to go along this dark route to ripping off innocent people who don’t deserve it. Decent people have a conscience where these scam artists clearly don’t care. With some genuine hard work and effort, there are many honest and 100% legitimate ways to make money while also often providing a valuable service to people. The Internet started out as a completely unmonitored and unpoliced source of free information, but so called cyber criminals including PTC scam artists and many others will ultimately make it necessary for more and more restrictions and on-line policing as time goes on (they’re spoiling it for everyone).

So…to date (2nd January 2011) Rich PTC owes me a grand total of $9,924.95. Where is it?????

I have been waiting since my first withdrawal on January 11th 2010. One year on and I still have not seen a single scrap of money. This is a joke.

There needs to be a fraud website set up so that these PTC sites can be reported, investigated, shut down and the admin forced to pay $$$$$.

I can only conclude that these scammers who set up these sites have little or no time on their hands, nor do they have any sense of morality..shame on them. I hope justice will win in the end, but I doubt it somehow.

The scammers are the only ones to make big money from sites like this as they get revenue from both advertising and by ripping people off further by tricking them into purchasing totally worthless paid memberships and worthless paid referrals (if you have brought paid membership or paid referrals, file a dispute with Paypal or Alertpay as some people have managed to get a refund since the only reason for making this purchase is to earn extra revenue and since they certainly never pay a single Cent no matter what, all money taken is fraudulent and you’ve been deceived!). They are also often constantly starting up similar sister sites to make lots more money many times over. It’s even very common for their website PTC site script to be pirated, which means they even rip off legitimate programmers and developers. Since the website is a complete scam, it is left running virtually on autopilot, making a steady fraudulent income since they don’t even respond to any support requests, they usually only occasionally interact to promote the scam even further or to make small changes to the website.

BigMoneyPTC is still happily taking both Paypal and Alertpay payments, WHY? In my opinion these reputable and large payment processing companies should be doing a lot more to protect their customers by banning fraudulent sites like this from using their services. In fact if Paypal and Alertpay banned BigMoneyPTC and other proven scam sites after receiving multiple complaints, they’d have to take credit cards directly and less people are likely to risk purchasing, but in this situation Mastercard and Visa should also make moves towards banning such fraudulent companies too after they receive multiple complaints. Blocking fraudulent companies from taking payments would be an effective way of preventing such fraud as such dodgy companies would then be forced to look for lessor known or dodgy payment processors if they want to continue their existence and most people will know or learn not to trust sites that don’t offer reputable payment processors such as Paypal / Alertpay and/or Visa / Mastercard.

Remember for legitimate Pay To Click sites, please see:

http://www.beenpaid.com/award/

…but don’t expect to be paid anything close to like $1 a click as this amount just isn’t affordable and only scam sites promise this, in fact $0.01 a click is a good payout amount for a genuine PTC site (take it or leave it – it’s 1000 times better than being promised $1+ a click and then receiving nothing!).

Incidentally there’s obviously still no payouts from BigMoneyPTC what-so-ever and the first payment request is now almost a whole year overdue since it was requested June 2009. BIGMONEYPTC IS MOST DEFINITELY A SCAM, DON’T USE IT!
