PTC WALLET (ptcwallet.com) - SCAM

PTC WALLET (ptcwallet.com) - SCAM

PTC Wallet, opened May 10, 2009 and we are going to go ahead call this one a scam. Here are our reasons:

1. Ties with a scammer - This is another Michael Pratt PTC site. Any site with his name attached to it, you can count on becoming a scam sooner or later. See screen shots bellow for more info.

2. No Forum - Any site that does not offer a online forum is a indicator the owner does not welcome feedback from it's members and has plenty to hide.

3. Too Good to be True - If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. They claim to pay 10 cents for ever click.

At PtcWallet the process of earning real cash with us is as simple as browsing the internet--which you are already doing! You will earn $0.10 for every link you click and $1 for every site you join through PtcWallet. In addition to that, we will also pay you 50% of your referrals' earnings!

At PTC Wallet, you can purchase advertising as little as $3 for 1000 hits. Please correct me if I am wrong... The adverser pays only $3 for 1000 hits, however the viewer gets paid 10 cents per view. Anyone knows how much that is that they are paying everyone to view these 1000 hits? Lets math that out...

1000
x$ .10
--------------
=$100.00
So the advertiser pays only $3. So where are they getting the other $97 from?!!
How are they paying you for this??

As of now we deem this site as a scam and would not recommend this site to anyone.

If anyone has been scammed by this site, you can report them at these places:

2. PTC Investigations Said,

   Sorry Jeff, but I can not promote your ref link. I do NOT allow referral links to scam sites, regardless if you are trying it out "for free".
   
   We already know this is a scam. It use to be revolutionbux which closed and scam... and when people would load the site it would redirect them to PTCWallet. You can try it now. Type revolutionbux.com in our browser and see where it takes you. That right there should tell you to stay away from this site.
   
   This site has been up for months and not single shred of payment proofs are found. Oh sure they have it on their site. Any idiot can sit there and type in screen names with cashout numbers. They are fake! And where are these so called people that where paid? Why are they not showing their proof?
   
   When people are paid they promote the site and try to get others to join under them. You don't see anyone doing that.
   
   This is a Michael Pratt site. He is doing the same thing to RichPTC members as well. And BriteBux, and BigMoney PTC... and so on.
   
   What happens is when people say...Oh I will just test it, they get desperate and start giving this crook money. So the scam continues. Which we will not play any part in it, especially if we already know the answer.
   
   You are just wasting your time...

Did You Know That You Can Get Rid Of Onion Smell On Your Hand?

Did You Know That You Can Get Rid Of Onion Smell On Your Hand?

1. 
   Take a tablespoon or more of everyday table salt in the palm of your hands. Mix with cold water into a paste, then rub all over your hands. Rinse off and dry. Not only will the salt get rid of the odor, but it'll also exfoliate your hands, making them much softer!
   • If you don't have salt, or if it doesn't work, try baking soda (bicarbonate of soda), sugar or coffee grinds. Sugar has the advantage of not hurting any open cuts that might be on your hands.
2. 
   Dip your hands in tomato juice for at least five minutes. Then, rinse your hands with liquid detergent in cold water. If it works for skunk smell, it'll probably work for onion odors. Just make sure the tomato juice or paste isn't expired.
3. 
   Rub your hands against stainless steel metal (a kitchen sink works well) under cold running water for about a minute; rubbing with a large metal spoon works, too. It's suspected that the sulfur molecules that create the distinctive onion smell react with the metal(s) in the stainless steel and become neutralized.
4. 
   Squeeze some lemon juice into a bowl. Dip your hands in for 3 minutes, then rinse off. Your hands will smell like fresh lemons instead of onions! If you don't have lemon juice or it doesn't work, try vinegar or mouthwash.
5. 
   Rub your hands in peanut butter. They'll feel a little greasy afterward (and moisturized!) but the smell will be gone, and you can wash off the remaining peanut butter odor. If you don't have peanut butter or if it doesn't work, try toothpaste!
6. Peel a large orange, cut into it, or break the outer skin. Rub the orange flesh onto your hands for two minutes. Wash under the tap (faucet) and repeat as necessary; you will have remaining a lovely citrus smell. See Remove Citrus Smell from Your Hands.

Tips

• You may be able to eliminate, or at least reduce, the problem and avoid watery eyes, by cutting the onion in a large bowl or sink full of cold water.
• Make sure to use cold water when you wash your hands; warm water opens up the pores in your hands and traps in the onion smell.
• To prevent the onion coming in contact with your skin wear a pair of non-latex protective gloves. Rinse any powder off of the gloves before cutting the onion. Rinse gloves well after wards, peel them off and throw them away.
• It is also possible to purchase vegetable shaped or oval shaped stainless steel "soaps" that can sit permanently at your kitchen sink.
• All of these solutions work equally well with garlic odors.
• Raw potato is also good at removing garlic and onion smells.
• Try a little mustard rubbed on to the hands after peeling the onion; the odor will disappear quickly.
• Cleanup is made easier and much of the onion residue can be avoided by rubbing your hands with vegetable oil before handling the onions. After the onions are done, soap and water cleanup is all that is needed. However, you should not do this with a hand you are using to hold a knife.

Did you know that People String is the Next Social Media Site?

Did You Know that People String has 4 ways that you can earn a income?

So, what exactly is People String? It is a new social media site (like Facebook) which was launched on September 23, 2009. They are making a bold attempt to compete with giants like Facebook by paying anyone and everyone to recruit members and grow its ranks.

People String is working with companies who want to bypass the advertising giants and pay people directly for looking at their products/services. Quite a novel approach! The more people participate, the more companies will see this as a viable alternative to reaching their target audience.

It can potentially be quite lucrative, for those willing to recruit new members. They will earn a percentage of the income generated by those they recruit for life! For those not interested in recruiting others, the remaining income streams may be more to their liking and more are to be added over time.

Those who are interested can click HERE if they wish to take this company up on their offer.

The site is still at the "nuts and bolts stage" right now, but company representatives have assured me that the "lab rats" (as they are affectionately called) are hard at work to turn People String into a popular and fun social media site as membership grows.

This is free now, free tomorrow and free forever for all who join and make money with them.

Did you know that the f-150 is not the king of the hill?

Did You know that the:

Honda Civic Now America's Best-Selling Vehicle

The best-selling vehicle in the U.S. is now the Honda Civic.

There's a new best-selling vehicle in America, and for the first time in 17 years, it's not a pickup truck. It's a Japanese compact car that can be bought for under $20,000 and, even without its optional hybrid powertrain, squeezes over 30 miles of travel out of each gallon of $4 gas.

USA Today explains, "Not only was Ford's F-Series pickup, a longtime sales king, passed by Honda's Civic, the May leader, but also by three more cars -- Toyota's Camry and Corolla,
and Honda's Accord." May wasn't a complete loss for U.S. automakers. "The subcompact Chevy Aveo was up 44%, the compact Pontiac Vibe up 72%, and the Chevy Cobalt, up 19%." Sales of Ford's Focus increased by 53%. The newly redesigned Chevy Malibu sold so well that, according to GM vice president Mark LaNeve, "We just ran out of product."

Did You know How to Get More Done with the Time You've Got ?

Did you know we have 5 Tips for saving time ?

1. Organize your work space -- offline and on

How much time do you waste every day trying to find a pen or a notebook or that site with all the great information you were reading just yesterday?
You'll be much more efficient if you take a day to organize your work space and make sure you know where everything is.

This is as true of your online resources as it is of the things you have on your desk. Take a moment to create a few bookmark folders under the "Bookmarks" tab in your browser. Name these folders according to subject (e.g., Niche Market Research, Website Building, SEO.) Then every time you find a site that offers valuable information, save it in the appropriate folder.

That way, you'll never have to waste valuable time trying to find it again.

2. Eliminate distractions

When you sit down for a serious work session, make sure there's nothing that will divert your attention from the task at hand. Shut down your email program so you aren't distracted by any new messages that arrive in your inbox.

Also be sure to close your Internet browser so you aren't tempted to take any web surfing breaks. You may think you're "only going to spend a minute" checking out the latest developments on your favorite website, but those minutes add up all too quickly.

3. Break down large jobs into manageable chunks

When you've only got 30 minutes to spare at any given time, how can you accomplish a chore that's going to take days to complete?

Simple -- by taking it one small step at a time.

Instead of being overwhelmed by a big job, break it down into smaller, more easily manageable chunks. You'll be surprised at how much you can accomplish in 30 minutes if you just sit down and DO it.

4. Set yourself "unbreakable" daily goals

When the events of your day are crowding in on you, it's all too easy to look at the work you wanted to do on your online business and say, "Oh, I'll do it tomorrow."

Don't give in to that temptation!

Let's be realistic -- tomorrow is also going to be a busy day, and the best time to get something done is NOW.

Create a work schedule that identifies a clear and achievable task for you to do every day. Then do what you must to make sure you complete each daily task on your list -- don't go to bed until it's done.

5. "Reward" yourself for each task you accomplish

As you cross each task off your list, reward yourself with something fun -- maybe five minutes to check your email or 10 minutes of surfing your favorite website. Just make sure you set a timer so you don't lose track of time.

Did you know that HIV/AIDS has impacted the black community?

Did you know that NAACP SUPPORTS FEDERAL FUNDING FOR

SYRINGE EXCHANGE PROGRAMS TO HELP COMBAT SPREAD OF HIV / AID?

NAACP OPPOSES PROPOSED "1000-FOOT" PROVISION DRAMATICALLY LIMITING LOCAL AUTHORITIES' ABILITY TO USE THE FUNDING EFFECTIVELY

---

THE ISSUE:
HIV/AIDS has had a devastating impact on Black Americans. AIDS is the number one killer of African American men ages 25 to 44 and the number one killer of African American women ages 15 to 44. While African Americans make up approximately 12.7% of the entire U.S. population we are 45% of the 56,300 people who are newly infected with HIV each year, 50% of those living with AIDS and 50% of those who die from AIDS each year. Compounding the horror, African American children account for 58% of pediatric AIDS cases in the United States. There are fewer HIV-positive people in seven of the 15 target countries of the Global AIDS Initiative than there are HIV-positive African Americans here at home.

At the end of 2006, nearly one-third of all U.S. AIDS cases -- more than 300,000 -- were linked to intravenous drug use. Injection drug use through a contaminated syringe is one of the most common methods of HIV transmission among both Black men and women. Cumulatively, up to 40% of reported AIDS cases among Black males and 47% of reported AIDS cases among Black females are attributed directly to injection drug use or having sex with a partner who is an injection drug user.

Studies have shown that Syringe Exchange Programs (SEPs) are effective in reducing HIV and hepatitis infection rates among injection drug users and their sexual partners. Furthermore, SEPs promote public health and safety by taking syringes off the streets, and protect law enforcement personnel and innocent bystanders, including children, from injuries. Syringe exchange programs also provide critical health care services including HIV testing, counseling, education, and referral to drug addiction treatment centers. Sadly, since 1988 Congress has banned local and state public health authorities from using federal funds for Syringe Exchange Programs.

This summer, the House of Representatives took a historic step by removing the ban on federal funding for SEPs. Unfortunately, in doing so the House added a restriction that requires that federally supported SEPs not operate within 1,000 feet of schools, universities, playgrounds, video arcades, youth centers, or events sponsored by these organizations. The 1,000-foot restriction, if it stands, would make it nearly impossible to utilize federal resources for most SEPs and severely hamper efforts to implement such programs, especially in cities and urban areas where health officials assert the need is greatest. It also prevents local authorities from making their own decisions on how to best utilize federal funds in the fight against the spread of HIV / AIDS.

THE FATE OF SYRINGE EXCHANGE PROGRAMS WILL BE DECIDED BY A HOUSE-SENATE COMMITTEE LATER THIS MONTH. THE NAACP URGES ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO SUPPORT THE LIFTING OF THE FEDERAL FUNDING BAN AND TO OPPOSE THE 1000-FOOT RULE
