I have read about this on several money making forums. Most of them keep the minimum amount payable high so that they don't have to pay anytime soon to their members. By the time the members reach their payout minimum , the site administration already gets paid from the advertisers and does the vanishing act. However, there are a few honest ones that I think do pay , but it's not worth the effort.

PTC and PTR are almost always scams just like the HYPE and Autosurf sites. The amount of time you are spending is not equal to the work you are doing. PTC and PTR are the same like Autosurf. The 2 main difference is that with PTC you have to click (read for PTR) while on Autosurf its automatic. And the money in PTC/PTR is very low while on Autosurf, its fast and very high. I could never imagine clicking 100 sites for only $2. It's not worth it.

I am glad you said almost all PTC and PTR are scams because I know of a few that are not, but yes the payment is extremely small, most times not beneficial unless you have a large downline.

You got to watch out for them. I joined one that initially paid to it's members and everyone was happy and referring aggressively.Going with the public sentiment , I too let my account balance sit in my account as I didn't want to pay the extra paypal fees for every withdrawal made.But as the membership grew , the Admin kept delaying payments and after a few months the site went bust. Many people lost their money including me , but they were small potatoes. The ones to suffer real losess were the ones who had worked hard and even spent on advertising to build their downlines.Lesson learned-Withdraw your money from such sites at the earliest or you might never get paid.
