Is bux.to a scam?

I read a post yesterday on TechCrunch, which called bux.to a scam. Their source for the news is a Twitter update from Chris Pirillo, who has claimed that he has not been paid over $3000 till date.
I am not the right person to say if bux.to is indeed a scam or not. All, I’ll do is mention a few points based on the TechCrunch post:
- TechCrunch called bux.to a “Pyramid Scheme” . This is completely inaccurate. You get paid for only one level of referrals. Not more than that. This does not make bux.to a pyramid scheme where those at the “top”, make all the money. Its another story that pyramid schemes are not sustainable.
- I don’t know if Chris has a standard or a premium account. I say this because, bux.to typically pays after 60 days for standard accounts and after 30 days for premium accounts. Based on his Twitter post, I guess he has a premium account, but I am not sure of that.
- To call bux.to a fraud based one just one Twitter post, might be too harsh in my opinion.
Well, I am a little biased towards bux.to, because I too have a lot of money yet to be encashed from them! A lot of readers from Online Presence signed up under my account, and I have been averaging a minimum of $20/day to highs of over $35/day on some occasions. You can imagine, that that is quite a bit of money every month.
I’m hoping against hope, that TechCrunch is not right this time! ;-)

bux.to is definitely a scam..wondering why the site is still up though..i lost a bit of cash there myself. I recommend you to however try neobux which is an innovative new site by a very dedicated admin, please refer my website link fo mo information, they pay instantly and fully support paypal as well..im not spamming just trying to spread the word about a great easier way to make money thats all..
Sure they paid you but after MOTHS ! And that sucks
I think bux.to wont have a future if they dont change that bullshit of waiting to get paid, theres good and better websites out there much better than bux.to
see this video for example

They paid me once, but I’ve been waiting for my second payment for over 6 months, and I was a premium member. I wish it wasn’t true, but I gotta say scam after reading all the posts by unsatisfied users out there.
