Velocity Clicks sold as a damaged good

Velocity ClicksIt has become common knowledge that the owner of Velocity Clicks known as Eric Lew was running Velocity Clicks as a scam site.

When the site came the first time around, there were already rumors flying around about the owner who also happens to had been involve with ICashOut, another site with a bad record. The Canadian PTC scumbag can't seem to get enough of scamming people and false advertising, but fortunately, he was caught before he could cause any more major harm.

Eric had used VC (Velocity Clicks) to take advantage of the popular PTC industry and those involve with it by setting up a pseudo-PTC business. VC, of course, never paid most of its members, and to cover up the scheme, he created a Been-Paid list that contains fake Payment informations and false testimonies.

When VC's plot was revealed to the public, the site eventually got blacklisted from the list of legitimate PTC business, which is of course, the prize for being a scam. With no more income to loot, the scumbag auctioned the site and sold it for a small fortune. The transaction was said to be a standard handover with a promise that all outstanding outgoings would be paid before handover. Whoever purchased the site made a foolish move to trust Eric as many of the people who didn't receive payment on the list are still unpaid. Moreover, the unlucky buyer will most probably have a hard time maintaining the site despite improvements, as this site is as good as a damaged good, with a tarnished name, courtesy of the joker who previously run it.

A Second Opinion

Even if VC opens under a new owner, it would be hard to gain the trust of the people, most especially of those who fall prey into it. You can't really expect VC to rise that instantaneously. On top of that, doubts of a secondary scam attempt could not be easily removed from the list of possibilities. Who would want to buy a scam site anyway? And it's kinda strange that someone is still willing to take the risk over a fallen site. This is just an opinion, but could it be that the VC buyer is an affiliate of Eric himself, and that they are planning to reopen the site to scam some more? Who knows...
