Is Bits-Pays pulling an Exit Scam? I think so
Bits-Pays is a PTC (paid to click) advertising website where users earn Satoshi, that has a free mining game (not to be confused with Bitpay the debit card). For the past five months or so they have been open with communications, updating members regularly and paying out on time. Support was very responsive to answering questions and they regularly posted updates on the site itself and on a third party forum. They even opened up a second website last week very similar to the first(this site is called biterdz). Members were happy and everything was great......
Until now.
On or around May 27th, 2018 they suddenly stopped paying. Not only did they stop paying but they also stopped answering support tickets and posting updates.
I tried contacting them twice. Once through the support system and a second time directly through e-mail. No response after several days.Other people have also tried contacting them with no replies.
Needless to say members are frustrated. Some are holding on to hope. Others vanished the moment payouts stopped.
No one really knows who these people are. It it is looking more and more like they are just another group of scammers.
The website is still functioning. People are still clicking ads. Payouts are not being done and the admin team have vanished. As they say if it walks like a duck...."
I hate scammers. I feel for everyone who wasted time, energy or cyrpto. People do not deserve this. If you were one of these people hopefully you got value from their advertising while it lasted.

That's horrible but plenty of these sites aren't really sustainable and they're looking to waste peoples time while selling ad space in the process. The only ones that win are the owners and ones who get in really early and pump refferals. There is really no free lunches in crypto unless you scamming thats the unfortunate rule
Nope, HashingAdSpace had a free prelaunch and they are far from scam. Now there is new AdzBrick: http://adzbrick.info, hopefully they will make it too, though HAS always will be number one I think...
BTW, I pumped refs to Bits-Pays, but not cause I wanted to scam them, but because I truly liked and believed in Bits-Pays program, oh and I never withdrew, always reinvested back into the miner... Such a waste of a great platform, sad...
