A Scam by any other name is still A SCAM!

Old scams never die, they just come back with a new name. And a different fig leaf covering the naughty bits!

5 0r 6 years ago there was one called Greenzapp that is just what they did they Zapped the Green out of there members Pockets.

If you try running just plain Payboxme you find it comes back to someone in China who does not seem to exist at all but owns almost 2500 domain names including Payboxme which was just registered on Sept 13th and which in two weeks has blasted up the Alexa rankings.

The legitimate Paybox Services based in France was created June 1998 and is quite openly available. Paybox.com belongs to them. If you would like to visit the legitimate site and see what I mean by copycatting you can go to www1.p

Please feel free to share the info on this one. Yes people are promoting this on like crazy. Possibly due to the copycatting.The logos and url's are extremely close. Some people are probably doing some due diligence and because of the similarities finding the legitimate site and thinking that it is this scam.

This is directly from their own TOS:

PayBox.me DOES NOT warrant that (i) the service will meet your specific requirements, (ii) the service will be uninterrupted, timely, SECURE, or error-free, (iii) the results that may be obtained from the use of the service will be ACCURATE or RELIABLE, (iv) the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you through the service will meet your expectations, and (v) any ERRORS IN THE SERVICE WILL BE CORRECTED.

Cheryl, I hope you don't mind, but I would like to post this in the OU on Swom, another site I belong to. So many people on there are also promoting it. Thanks for this great information.

This Paybox.me reminds me of the never launched IM Crew, and Website Tester and I don't know how many countless others. I also know for a fact the the Big Extra Cash is another scam site. My account has sat on the same $35.50 since July 31. And today is September 23 and it it still on that same amount. hmmm They are supposed to pay per click, how does someone have 430 declined clicks. Just more food for thought. I think I will do a blog on them and let the cat out of the bag, I see so many

Hi Cheryl! you are right! its smell same like " Viral Cash Blast" who offer 50 bucks to join few months ago. I have write a post about this here a few days ago http://www.apsense.com/article/150678.html. Although 100% not sure Payboxme a scam or not but good to be alert. We should write more often about this at least we could alert some of our friends here. Good job Chryl.

Yes it is still under the radar but a little investigating tells me it's only been around for a couple of weeks, in this incarnation at least.

I did not realize this scam was still under the radar or I would have said something myself. That what I get by assuming.

Yes, imitating a legitimate payment processing site regulated by banking regulatory organizations, then boasting that you are not regulated by anyone and handing out fake money left and right just oozes of credibility.

And yes I am being sarcastic. I'm not a member of the site and I have no intention of buying into a scam like this. I will however warn those who will listen of what it is before they get shafted. I'll just bet that everyone who has signed up for this has given their persona

Cheaters who claim a site is a scam (and often times they do) when they get caught. I have seen many sites labeled as scams when cheats aren't successful in stealing from honest members. It ruins a good site. Without positive valid proof of a claim, don't believe it.

Keep at 'em, Cheryl.....

I "LOVE" it.

Hmmm, now this is interesting. There were 2 more comments here which seem to have disappeared that were made by people promoting this 'opportunity'. Wonder why they felt compelled to delete their posts supporting Payboxme if it is such a wonderful legitimate opportunity?

When you look at the make up of APSense we're practically next door neighbors! unlike Houston which would make us around the block neighbors!

Hi Cheryl63
I wondered how you found me until I read your profile. I'll give you more info after I'm your friend and not so public.
Prosperous surfing

@tavon Glad you heeded that little warning voice. Bet a lot of people got the exact same feeling and are igmoring it.

And again $50 that amount to zero cents still leaves you with zero cents. Like I said those promoting this so hard are going to be the ones left holding the bag when it's all over.

This oh so great 'opportunity' suddenly appears around the 13th of September 2010. everybody and their grandfather is jumping on this imaginary $50 and trying to promote it to everyone they can promote it to. The creators are blatantly copycatting a legitimate site called of all things Paybox which just happens

I always look for a corporate website. If you put the name of a legitimate program into the search engine with the words corporate headquarters and nothing comes up or something that looks very similar but different comes up, treat it like the plague. Legitimate sites are not going to copycat and especially not to this extent.

Alamoshopper you wouldn't happen to be here in the great state of Texas somewhere in the vicinity of Loop 410 would you? :-)

It's always good when people avoid the scams, they don't have to kick themselves later.
