OurBux is a new "bux" site that is still fairly new and will be added to the Ongoing Investigations List for the time being. While it is not showing any connection to a past scam site, we would recommend that you test the site fully before investing into it. Here are the pros and cons of this site:

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 up to date on changes made to the site. You can find their forum here: http://ourbux.info/forum/index.php

Twitter: http://twitter.com/OurBux

FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/OurBux-Network/

2. Paying - They are paying and payment proofs can be found on the forum and throughout the web. Here are a few places where you can view these proofs:

 3. All Countries Accepted - So far there are no restrictions and all can join and earn from this site. As long as alertpay is offered in your area, you can cashout. Will update if this changes.

  

4. Secondary Password & Pin- You have the option of creating a secondary password to protect your account. Which is highly recommended that you use this option.

After you join you will also be required to create a cashout pin. Make sure it is different too. Don't be a fool and use your bank account pin that you use for your personal bank account. Create a unique 4 digit pin and write it down somewhere if need be.

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.

The main reason why we see this as a downside is due to the large number of new sites that go through many sudden changes during their first 6 months. Changes anywhere from rates per click, payment processor issues (paypal limitations), and payment wait times. New sites notorious for changing their terms. Why we do not recommend investing on new sites. 

2. A "Bux" Site - This type of ptc has a very high fail rate. Most "bux" sites go scam under 6 months, if not within a year. Most rely on upgrades and rental purchases rather than actual advertisers. A typical "bux" site will show fixed/self-sponsored ads, sell rentals, and have a higher rate per click. This type of business model is not very successful and unsustainable, which is probably why most "bux" sites fail. 

3. High Minimum Cashout - Your fourth cashout will have to be at least $25. Which is a lot for someone with no referrals and site that restricts referral limits.
