Notes

In The Beginning

In 2008 Charles Scoville was unemployed. During the height of the global economic crisis finding a job was very difficult.
Charles searched everywhere to find a job. He interviewed for jobs he was qualified for, but the number of job openings were few. He was advised more than once the positions were filled, but that he was a match and he should try again in 6 months.
Charles searched diligently through monster jobs, yahoo jobs, and many other job seeking sites. In Craigslist, being one of the places he looked through looking for employment Charles came across an ad for an energy drink company just starting up. He thought to himself “this might be something I could get behind because I enjoy energy drinks.”
As it turns out the energy drink company was MLM. He decided to join and try selling energy drinks to people he knew who also enjoyed them. Charles wasn’t successful at selling the energy drinks because people saw it was MLM, and they weren’t interested in MLM. So Charles decided to try marketing online to find people who would be interested in energy drinks that were sold as part of an MLM opportunity. This is where Charles came across safelists, traffic exchanges, and other marketing sites targeted for home based businesses. Because he did not have a lot of money he, instead of paying for ad service, surfed other ads to earn advertising credits to promote the energy drink MLM replicated website.
One ad that Charles saw repeatedly from many different affiliates was for TVI Express. He joined it because it looked like it would be an easier. He would be selling discounts on travel and thought more people would be interested in discounts on vacations than energy drinks. He started to promote TVI Express’s discounts, but like before didn’t have a whole lot of success.
There was a TVI Global Assist team that basically helped people get involved in TVI Express for a lot less money, and gave an opportunity to earn the entry expenses. This really stood out to him so he decided to plug into their marketing system.
Paid to Click

Charles Scoville decided to develop his own website and lead capture page, and started to see a bit more results. He became a lot more successful promoting the marketing system using his own website and lead capture system, and found that referrals always wanted help in a place to advertise. They wanted help in growing their downlines.
Thinking through their problem, and also seeking a way to make it easier for referrals to grow their downline he decided to launch a PTC site, which would allow people to earn their entry expense of $37 through clicking on sponsored ads.
So Charles launched tviptc.com — but shortly after its launch, the global assist team stopped building TVI Express, because their vacation platform stopped working, and was no longer providing the vacation packages. In other words, the opportunity became a pyramid scheme, selling people to join, but not offering any actual product/service.
So, he removed TVI Express as an option with the PTC site, and moved forward just rewarding people cash for clicking on ads. Eventually members began to request that Charles open another PTC (paid-to-click) site. They said they knew Charles is trustworthy, and it’s hard to find good admins.
Charles Scoville met the request by opening InfinityBux.com.
It grew very well, and became very popular. It was even more popular than his first PTC site.
At the same time Charles was attending LDS Business College, in Salt Lake City, Utah. At one point he was talking about the success of his PTC business with one of his professors. His Professor suggested that he should open 6 of these sites. This was based upon the 3 Ms principle. (Market, Margin, and Multiples.) There’s a big market for PTC sites, and having multiple sites would increase overall profits.
So, based on this advice Charles opened another site; BuxSecure.
Around this time, people who were apparently jealous of his success started to spread rumors. They said things like; he was opening another PTC site was because they thought he was running out of money; or that they thought he was trying to pay off debt from one site by opening another. The fact is that these rumors were completely false. The truth is that his businesses were making good money. So he proceeded to move forward to open a total of 6 ptc sites and ignored the false rumors.
The following year Charles’s PayPal account came under attack from fraudsters. Is it possible it was linked to the jealous haters seeking to shut down his PTC success? The fraud attack resulted in the loss of PayPal, which caused the funds in PayPal to be frozen for 180 days per PayPal’s security policies. He couldn’t touch the funds, nor count he use them to make payouts.
The only other processor that Charles had available was Payza (at that time it was called AlertPay). Charles was able to successfully maintain instant withdrawals through Payza for members on all 6 sites. Then in Oct 2011 Payza lost their credit card processing ability. This made receiving payments difficult because members weren’t able to pay their normal way.
He tried adding Google check-out, which would have worked well but Google checkout does not allow PTC sites. He added Solid Trust Pay to make it easier for members to make purchases, but at that time PTC users weren’t all that keen on using STP.
Everyone wanted PayPal, but Charles couldn’t use PayPal during the Payza outage because PayPal had permanently limited the PayPal account associated with the PTC network. Again, their limitation was due to no fault of his. He simply couldn’t use PayPal on the PTC sites. So with the funds pending in PayPal, and Payza receiving little funds in, but mostly out—The Payza account ended up running out of funds (at that time Payza was called AlertPay). Since there weren’t funds available from Payza for payouts, some people were waiting for their withdrawals for more than a month.
This unfortunately gave the original group of jealous people an opportunity to spread more rumors and an excuse to point to as their proof for their rumor that he was opening PTC sites to pay off debt, and to suggest that the sites weren’t sustainable.
These were again all just rumors as Charles was quickly able to overcome the payment gateway obstacles and within six months everyone was paid, and instant withdrawals were returned to all 6 ptc sites by the summer of 2012.
PTC continued

The PTC sites had launched in March and July 2010, and were still successfully paying. At this point the sites had been successfully paying for over 3 years, with only a six month period of delays in 2011. For some reason people insist on focusing on the small period of delays instead of the vast time before and after with successful instant payouts.
So in April 2013 Charles Scoville launched AdHitProfits. AdHitProfits was a new site that sells advertising services and shares the revenues from ad service sales amongst its qualified members.
Everything with the ptc sites were working just fine. Payouts were instant until Nov 2013 when Payza’s funds held with Obopay were seized by the US Dept of Justice. Obopay had lost their money transmitter license.
As soon as that happened, Charles placed notice on all 6 of the PTC sites of what was going on. It was published on site news, the login pop-up page, and inside the member’s internal mailboxes, which were required to be viewed before they could click ads. Each member most certainly read the news.
Charles did not receive any new incoming payments at that point nor any time going forward. He wanted to first get the Payza issue resolved. He relentlessly following up with Payza and the US Dept of Justice about this issue with no results. Those funds are still seized until this day, and have impacted many online businesses and individuals.
After publishing the news on the sites for over six months, he closed all 6 sites in Aug 2014.
Some wondered why he didn’t just use funds he had elsewhere. The reason is because ezybonds stole a substantial amount from AdHitProfits, and he had to be sure AdHitProfits would be able to support 100% of member balances in the AdHitProfits system.
Charles made major sacrifices to make sure AdHitProfits member account balances were completely covered. He simply didn’t have enough to also cover all the ptc account holder funds on top of that.
The closing the PTC sites was primarily due to no one logging in anymore. The sites were dead. The members had moved on, and most understood that the Payza(AlertPay)/Obopay issue was obviously not his fault and were not blaming him for things that were outside of his control.
Payza(AlertPay)/Obopay funds were seized from Payza by the US Dept of Justice Nov 2013, and it was no secret this had happened. Many other sites were impacted, and many businesses had to close because of the problem.
At the time funds were seized nearly $67,000 were held inside Payza(AlertPay), which would have more than covered the member account balances on all 6 of the PTC sites.
AdHitProfits

Charles Scoville launched AdHitProfits in April of 2013. AdHitProfits sells advertising services and shares the revenues from ad service sales amongst its qualified members. Some people who didn’t understand this system, spread rumors, and essentially started a FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) campaign against AdHitProfits. They also suggested people not to purchase ad services on AdHitProfits. This caused the amount of advertising services revenue to drop which in turn caused the amount of revenue for sharing to drop.
Around the same time teams of “hit-and-runners” came into AdHitProfits with the purpose of simply jumping in, and jumping out. AdHitProfits sharing plan made it profitable for them to do this, which also resulted in a noticeable drop in revenues for sharing.
These hit-and-runners, the FUD campaign against AdHitProfits, and members’ desire to earn more caused people to move to other programs, and ignore AdHitProfits.
However to this day AdHitProfits remains, it pays its members without fail, and is Better Business Bureau accredited. All sales continue to be shared among qualified members. Commissions get paid without a problem.

TrafficMonsoon

Charles Scoville launched TrafficMonsoon on Oct 10, 2014 with the desire to help connect people in the industry, and help them make more money. All the lessons Charles learned from AdHitProfits helped develop a better plan for TrafficMonsoon. It’s much more conservative, not susceptible to the “hit-and-runners”, much more security has been built in, etc. This way, all the things that would cause any slow down could be completely avoided.
Most of the same things had already been built into AdHitProfits, but people didn’t pay attention to the improvements, because they already had moved on.
Now that TrafficMonsoon is getting to be more popular, jealous people are again trying to smear Charles’ reputation, and dig into his past. Spreading rumors and lies with the intention to ruin the success of TrafficMonsoon, and harm the members involved.
People reference the PTC sites, but the truth is that Charles had always been honest with people. He always did his best, and the only problems with payouts were related to payment processor issues, and not Charles’ own desire to pay. The funds were always there, just locked. This ultimately caused the ptc sites to close completely when the Payza(AlertPay)/Obopay funds were inside were seized by the US Department of Justice.
