TickerBar is SPAM (english)

TickerBar is a bar that works on the same system as PackBarre for Pack+. The main difference is that Tickerbar should pay in real money and not in gifts. They say on their site that they offer $0,01 for every hour the bar is opened on the desktop. You can install the bar on several computers under the same account, but you can't earn more than $0,24 per day. Also, the site offers a refferal option. This should be the main income for your balance. I want to mention that the minimum payment is $90. I wanted to try it. I installed it on my computer and on my girlfriend's computer as her's is running 24/24 hours. This was meaning that in 13 months I will reach the minimum payment.Lol. Now here come the problems:

1.Statistics:


Firstly, the statistics weren't updated. I calculated how much I would have earned for a specific amount of time and the site showed me that I had earned less that I should have earned.

2.Site's income:


On their site, they say: “What is the TickerBar™?
The TickerBar™ offers its members the ability to get paid just for using the internet. The TickerBar will not only show you current events, stock prices and weather, it will also display advertising. We pay our users for delivering messages as a reward for using the TickerBar™. “
. Well, the truth is different. The only advertises that I saw were linking to the bar's site. This means that the site doesn't have a real income, and in this way they don't have how to pay the users.

3.Payment


The minimum payment($90) is a little bit to much. This isn't trustful. A site who really pays will choose a little amount of money for payment. Once it gains some popularity it can increase the minimum payment amount. For example, for adsense, the minimum payment is $100 but that is GOOGLE. Everybody knows google as a serious site.

Conclusion: TickerBar is a SCAM site. Don't register on it. If you downloaded the bar, it is better to delete it as Spyware Doctor recognize it as a spyware.

Here I offered you a screenhot to see how the bar looks on a 1280x1024 desktop.
