Update: Moving the site from the Ongoing Investigations List to the Scam List. The site went offline and has been down for over a week. Just like all sites, we gave them 7 days to come back. They never did. They claimed they purchased a new server. However it has been 7 days since that last update.
Site moved to the scam list. All those who went against our advise and invested on this site, should file a dispute with Paypal/AlertPay by finding the payment transaction in your account and clicking on the dispute link.
Old Review/ Site History
icoBux is a new site that recently launched.. Since the site is under 3 months old it and it will go on our Ongoing Investigations List. Here are the pros and cons of icoBux:
PROS:
1. Forum - This site does have a forum. Forums are great for communication between members and staff. Members can post payment proofs, get support, and stay updated on changes made to the site. You can find their forum here: http://icobux.com/forum/
Twitter: http://twitter.com/icobux
2. All Countries Accepted - So far there are no restrictions and all can join and earn from this site. Will update if this changes.
3. Instant Payments - The terms states that payments will be instant. A great option for any site to have. No more waiting days or weeks for something you rightfully earned.
4. Secondary Password & Cash Pin - You have the option of creating a secondary password to protect your account. Which is highly recommended that you use this option. Also after you join you will be required to create a 4 digit cash pin. Which can help safeguard your account from potential thieves.
5. Paying - The site is paying and you can find proofs on their forum. We were paid as well...
CONS:
1. New Site - We do not recommend investing or buying upgrades on new sites. For at least 6 months, if not a year. If you can't wait that long, at least test and get paid first before you decide to invest.
2. Whois Private - Unknown ownership.
