![]() ![]() This is what happened before the sale of Clixsense: FTC Finalizes Settlement with ClixSense for Failure to Secure Consumers’ Personal Data Posted on JPosted in Enforcement, Information Security On July 2, 2019, the Federal Trade Commission announced a case involving the operator of an online rewards website who allegedly failed to take reasonable steps to secure consumers’ personal data. Jim Grago never cared about his members in the first place. Jim Grago sold the company without giving his members a heads up about what was going to happen. Swagbucks is notorious for banning members when they try to cash out their earnings. What I wrote can be confirmed just by searching Google for “clixsense” and things such as “data breach”, “adult site” “payment didn’t arrive”, “PayPal removed”, etc.Ĭlixsense is now owned by Prodege, LLC. It is NOT safe and it will pay you less than others anyway. My suggestion would be to avoid clixsense at all cost. Finally, they have a long history of delaying payments with various excuses such as supposed issues with deposits to a payment processor. Someone should have a mental disorder to do the work for them and get less money than what others would pay him for the same effort. But, most of all they pay smaller amounts than other websites for the same tasks and offers. Just a few days ago PayPal decided to stop offering its services to clixsense and we all know that PayPal should have a very good reason to take such a measure. This situation lasted for days and for some users even for months due to cache. Another time, clixsense was hacked and was redirecting to an adult website with explicit content. Their administrator did not even have the integrity to send an email to each member (as he should) in order to let everyone know what happened. Personal information such as addresses, emails, passwords, and even SSN fell to the wrong hands. Recently, a data breach occurred and hackers stole the details of 6.6 million users' records. It does NOT worth the effort and your sensitive information are in danger!Ĭlixsense has a history of weird (to say at the very least) issues.
