VelocityClicks Confirmed as Scam

Original text from uronlinebiz:

Yesterday we published an article regarding our findings at Velocity clicks which provided us with proof that they were false advertising their proof of payments. Within the article we asked people to contact us regarding their experiences regarding the site and since then we have received many emails that echo our findings and provide evidence of other wrong doings. One member provided us with this testimonial which shows their process of playing people on the paid list that were not paid.

“Then I wanted to contact with them again but they have no contact information on their website anymore. Also they are not replying the messaged that are send to vcnetwork@hotmail.com anymore.

Also I collected more then 20$ and tried to transfer them to my alertpay account. Couple days later they shows my name on Paid Proof page as they made my payment. About a week passed they I have nothing on my alertpay account. I contacted with alertpay and they say that they did not receive any payment from velocityclicks.”

As many of the people who emailed us their experiences we investigated a little deeper to find that the people emailing us with not the only ones getting the same treatment as such testimonials with the same details can be found at nearly every major PTC community.

There are of course a lot of rumors that this site is run by a well known scammer from a site that had already dealt its deeds. What we were interested in is what can be proven and every member who emailed or we found else where to have not been paid claiming they had be placed on the been paid list were indeed found on this list.

Many of these individuals had also purchased upgrades and referrals from the site only to have them all taken away by the admin claiming they were cheaters – no refunds of course. We now feel that the amount of evidence against this site is enough for us to place it in the black list at the confirmed -10. We strongly urge people not to purchase anything further from this site and to not waist your time clicking which such a strong risk of not getting paid.

We personally feel the owner of Velocity clicks has made a shoddy move to produce a paid list that consists of people who were not paid and did not give consent for their names to be placed on such a list. More importantly there is nothing professional here and yet again a common PTC site fraudster has failed to understand the basics of legitimate business.

We advice to those who feel they have a strong legal reclaim case here to check up this site on http://www.who.is as this will provide you with any legal contact information you require. We will be sure to contact this Canadian soon.

2nd Quote :
This is an advisory regarding the site Velocity clicks. There are of course many rumours about why this site has a dodgy set up but rumours are useless unless evidence is there however we have now seen that they are placing people on their beenpaid list who have received no money including the popular affiliate tibter. As this is false advertising and scams an individual we will be placing this site in the advisory of -5 until further evidence arises.
VelocityClicks removed from trusted list.
