I'm so tired of people posting these rewardHits links. It's sickening, i didn't know that so many people on BYOND were so naive. RewardHits is a scandal, or has a major chance of being one, here are my reasons:


1.) The site's interface is crappy, if they people who came up with the site, had any money at all, to do this, they would at least have a decent site, then it can at least LOOK legit.

2.)There's so many bugs, although in the home page they said that they will fix those bugs, but how in the world, would you let a bug like being about to "hit" yourself every 30 minutes slip by? There were smart enough to add a proxy warning, because that would make it sound legit, but overall it just makes them sound like newbs. If the proxy detector works, that makes it legit right? Wrong. Their goal is to make it look as legit as possible, they feed on kids who are look for a "Get rich quick scheme", much like the people here on BYOND. If you'd take the time to read into it, you'd know it was a scam.


3.)"SPECIAL NOTE: RewardHits.com was established in November 2005. We only have been around for about a week and our membership has grown more than two thousand. Our HitCash$ is over HC$23,526,230. However, our software also have detected unsual activities and will take steps to eliminate the cheaters to ensure all members who play fair will get a fair share of the reward. Because we are new, the actual conversion will not take place until the end of our first quarter, which would be around three month. Then we will provide rate conversion information for your HC$ to US$. Thank you for your patience." Now, on the thing it says "it will take a MONTH to convert you HC into USD" but on the home page it says it would take them 3 months to get on their feet, what's supicious is, why would they provide people with links RIGHT now rather than later? I mean if it's not working it's not working, so three months, you think you're getting a boatload of USD, then you go to the site and it said "404: Error website not found" and then you cry your eyes out knowing that you wasted 3 months worth of your time, clicking a link. I mean it's easy as heck to hack, i mean i did it, i have over 1 million HC, that's what they want you to do, though. Either all the money goes to them, or they just want to call you stupid for actually believing that this thing was legit.


So please, PLEASE stop going into games posting these links, it's getting on my nerves.

right! instead you should go read emails. this thing says i can make money just by reading emails! sign up now! :-P

and the "money" you're getting is a percentage of 30% of the money that the website makes. the percentage you get is based on the percentage of the "HC$" that your particular page generated.

at least thats what their terms said when i checked. they can change them at any time ;-)

READ MY EMAIL PLZ, YOU GET MONEY K?


Actually, do you know how stupid that sounds? Read a E-mail and get cash? All you do is read some third-party advertisement and you won't have to work for your whole life!?

Wow, what have i been missing..

Glad to see I'm not the only one mocking this trend. :D

Actualy, those do exist and are real. I have known people who did it and got a little money off it, but normaly gave it up because it was not profitable. Basicly, people got paided to click on ads, the website that was giving them money was getting money from the sites that gave the ads, and passed a little of it on. But all together, it just wasn't worth it, but not a scam at all(Well, there where probably scams using the same format, but there where real sites).

the BYOND forums are not really a place to whine about this sillyness, nor to present tools for attacking people (of which Ben G's pinger is clearly menat to do so). if you want to do these things, please find another more appropriate venue.
