Traffic Monsoon website shut down!

So Traffic Monsoon was shut down by the SEC on 5th August 2016. Finally it has been confirmed what I knew when I wrote my review on them back on February. They are a ponzi scheme and they always have been!

I just wonder when people will learn? The thing is that when I researched the owner of Traffic Monsoon, Charles Scoville, everything pointed to him being a serial scammer.

He has set up so many different websites of the same type and each one runs for a while before being suddenly shut down.

Here is a list of the websites he did before Traffic Monsoon: adhitprofits.com
infinitybux.com
buxsecure.com
tviptc.com
powerfulbux.com
foreverbux.com
buxunleashed.com
banrev.com
ultimatepowerboost.com
wealthenginex.com
ulaunchformula.com

I just wish people would do a little more research before signing up for these stupid schemes.

What have you heard and what do you think?

I don't know about traffic monsoon much. It just ring the bell somewhere, but i have to say few words in general regardin websites like that.

Years ago i personally owned traffic exchange website and PTC (GPT) website. I wanted to run it seriously and 100% honest, but believe it or not, it is simply not possible! As soon you offer some money to be earned by members, there is avalanche of cheaters knock on your door to steal your money. Fraud buyers. Fake referrals, People using stolen credit cards etc, etc, etc... Horrible business, no matter how good you want to be. Back then i had big big problems with PayPal and at the end lost a lot of money due to fraud buyers...

I also was involved in forum where other TE and PTC owners discussed many things regarding this businesses and i know there is some suspicious and fraudulent owners. Some of them were just unexperienced, some were scammers and some were so frustrated and wanted to hit back in any way to pull out their investments, while i sold my websites on Flippa and just give up, because it was very troublesome business to run.

Due to all fraudulent owners BUT also all fraudulent members and cheaters (in huge numbers) i don't believe that any of these websites can survive in clean business for long time. Sad, but true...

Thanks for your experience Anwebservices, especially since you can speak from the side of owning one of these websites which makes it very interesting.

I have basically found the same thing, these websites all appear to be trashy to me.

There is one though that has been around for a long time and I find it quite pleasant to use. Have you heard of Clixsense? I have made some money doing surveys and also a tiny little bit clicking on ads, But now that I have a few referrals I let them work their butts off and I earn from them. It's not a lot and certainly not enough to get excited about but it adds a little to my income.

What do you think of Clixsense? Yes it is PTC but they seem like the best of the lot.

Yes i know about Clixsense for long long time. Since they survived for so far i guess they are OK. Can't really make decent review on it because i didn't visit any of these sites for couple of years i guess Traffic Monsoon website shut down!

This is why I never trust random websites that offer tools, traffic or PTC. As you said in a previous post: if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

When I discover a new tool I always look for certain scam signals as well as a confirmation from bloggers or website I consider an "authority" in the specific domain.
Charles Scoville - this names should be written in more articles so people will know and find content about this guy when doing a Google Search, or doing a really good thing Lynne by exposing this guys and all of its websites!

Yes. But exposing Charles Scoville name doesn't solve the problem because name could be hidden on next project or it can be under different name.

Beside that, any new program like this is already suspicious as soon as it comes out Traffic Monsoon website shut down! But also there is always new starters who jump in and get scammed, unfortunately... So discussions like this can be beneficial if people research before they invest time and money. Let's hope this guy will stop being bad...

Yes. You are right, he can easily just user a different name in the next project. Sometimes tell me he won't stop anytime soon, especially if he finds a gray legal area where he scam scam people.
