E-gold Removed - Alertpay will be added
We regret to inform you that we have to remove e-gold from our site because e-gold has blocked our account completely
without any valid reason at all (they are claiming that they rejected documents but no further information is given
and they are not refunding the balance in it). We have sent several emails enquiring about the reason but they have
not given us any reasons, only claiming that they have the right to block our account and confiscate the money in
that account. We were very lucky that there wasn't a lot of money in the account so this will not affect us financially.
This is the last email we received from them and they are not responding to the emails anymore:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The documents you have submitted have been rejected under our Right of Association clause in the account user agreement.

***Please be advised, we have considered this matter to be closed***
Thank You,
e-gold Service 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We don't know the exact reason but we have made transactions worth half a million dollars in recent years and have not received any complaints so whatever it is, it is not fair or ethical. As you all know they have some legal issues with
the government and they have financial problems and even if they are blocking only 1% of the accounts in this way,
We are sure that there is a huge theft going on there. (there are more that 5 million e-gold accounts)
Alertpay will be added this week as a new payment option and hopefully it will be a good replacement for e-gold since
it is internationally available. We are also starting instant payments soon...

Important Announcement
I have a lot of things to tell you, but I will try to keep this short.
After the last couple of attacks (that you already know about) the site suffered a lot of damage.
Many members lost trust in the site (and me), we had to invest in more security, we lost almost
two weeks of ads and purchases, etc. I have tried my best this last two weeks to keep the site alive.
I had to reinvest all the money we had got from the site and put $10,000.00 of my own money to keep paying and maintaining the site.
Unfortunately things didn't go quite as planned. Even though some members did help us by buying referrals
or memberships (and I thank you all), sales were really low. Ad visits were very poor too, many members
requested payment and stop clicking. The last few days we had over 10 ads for free members, and the
average clicks per user a day was 3. We also lost many members. I am not sure if it was due to the
lack of trust or to the new anti-cheat locks we added, but out of the 165,000+ active members we had
before the last attack, only a little over 19,000 have returned and are active. To top it off,
we had almost $100,000.00 in pending payments and we got chargeback's for almost $2,000.
For all of the above, I have decided to close the site.
I am a business man, I have my own offline business, so I know that sometime it is necessary to make a
decision like this one. This is the last thing I wanted to do, but I already spent 250% more than our
original budget, and got no profit. Most of that was spent in the last two weeks, and I can not keep
spending money like this. This was not a easy decision to make, but I did consider all the options I had
(including that poll at the forum). The PTC model is very good and it can be extremely profitable for
owners and members, but at this time we have come to a point where drastic measures are necessary.
What is going to happen now?
Well, first of all I am not a scammer. I will send payments to all people who invested in the site.
I know lots of standard members will complaint, but I believe that is the fairest thing to do.
Payments will take sometime as I will have to use my own money (my offline business), but they
will all be sent. I will include in this page a little login box where you will be able to know
if you are eligible for payment. That box will be ready on Monday (I hope) as I have to review the accounts,
but for now I will tell you the criteria I will use.
To be eligible for payment you...
* Must have logged in after Oct 16th and created a PIN, members that did not comeback are consider inactive
and wont be paid.
* Must have invested in the site (bought referrals or premium membership).
* Did not get your investment back. If you made a profit or got your investment back, you will not be paid.
I can not tell you how long it will take to send all payments because I don't know how much money will be paid.
I will have an idea on Monday.
I know how frustrated you must be (I am a member of other PTCs). I am also frustrated, angry and sad.
I will open the forum again tomorrow so you can send you insults there. Please avoid sending me email
as I will not be answering anything before Monday. The amount you will be paid (if you will be paid at all)
will be ready then, just wait a couple of days.
This is the lastthing I wanted, and I can not apologize enough to those who trusted the site, but that's business.
Thank you,
Jose Manuel

Announcement from Paid to click world (AcePTC)
==============================================
My name is Marek Kowalska. I am the owner of Paid to click world the company that operates AcePTC.com
As most members will know on October 9th we deleted some members from China for cheating.
Then on October 10th they hacked the site on our hosted server. This is why we moved to a dedicated
and protected server on October 11th.
What we did not know is that the had planted a Trojan virus in a part of the sever we never access.
A Trojan is a hidden program that opens at a specific time or on an action.
When we moved to the new server this malicious program migrated across with our Database.
At 22.00 on October 24th We attempted to pay our members and this activated the Trojan.
it attempted to divert members funds to 7 different accounts with an e-metal based payment company.
Our security software prevented the funds transfer but has locked our database as more Trojan's may be installed.
We have no alternative but to suspend AcePTC while we repair the damage that has been done.
Many parts of our program are encrypted for security reasons so we cannot do this and keep Ace online.
Please accept my apologies for this but we must protect the integrity of the site for our members and my company.
We expect to be back online in around 72 hours.
Marek Kowalska.

Subject World Clix update
Hi dear World Clix members,
First, I got to say, I am very very sorry for everything what happened with World Clix,
but I promise you we will not let you down.
Here's what we are going to do...
We will make World Clix version 3.
What will version 3 have?
- Instant Purchases for referrals and upgrade.
- New, faster, payout system.
- Activity (ranking) system (in relation with payout system)
- Improved referral replacement
- Improved support system
- More World Clix staff to help you out
and many little but cool features for our members and
back-end improvements.
However, there is a small thing that most of you won't like but it's a must to survive in this business.
We need to change site click rates. You will still be getting $ 0.01 for your click as standard and $ 0.0125 as
premium member, but you will now receive $ 0.005 per referral click as standard member and $ 0.01 as premium member.
Next important thing is - Chinese members.
We had an admin meeting and following decision is brought:
Chinese members needs to be upgraded to receive their payout. They are also allowed to have only 25% personally
referred members to get paid.
That means that if Chinese member has 100 referrals, 75 of them needs to be purchased from our site.
Pending payouts for Chinese members will be denied, however those who fulfill above stated terms will be paid.
Please, feel free to use our forum to express yourself.
Expect more news from us soon,
World Clix administration.
