Scams - Two Updates

The Scams are alive and well!

I wrote earlier about two systems by two well known scammers.

Run, Dont Walk Away From This One! (Posted October 23, 2006)

Remember this one? It detailed the scam being run by Simjon Baxter called More than Traffic. He had a good spiel when he first came out and he duped a lot of people, including yours truly.

I wrote him an email after my post and today I got a reply. Here is his answer.

Thanks for your email about commissions from orders or #commmsnotpaid#

Checking your account today this will take a little time to establish a
firm reasoning behind any late delivery or payment.

Please allow me a few days to provide you with an overview of your
delivery status and answer you clearly with my findings.

To view due commissions you need to log into your affiliate member area
and click the MY CLIENTS link at the top. There you will see monthly links
that you can click to find out if you are due commission.

1. Log in to your member area.
2. Click the My Clients link at the top.
3. Click last months commission link at the top of page.
4. When you click the month's commission link a page showing
how much you are owed for that month only appears.
5. Accept the figure or email us from that page if you don't think
your commission is correct.
6. The commission figures you accept will be processed in our
accounts admin and paid out in 14 days by cheque or Bank Transfer
for commissions over $10,000 USD.

NOTE
Please do not email us blindly regarding so called errors, use the link
from the total page.

Also note the terms of payment:

Your affiliate commission is paid out 30 days after the month end that
your client paid.

To view due commissions you need to log into your affiliate member
area and click the MY CLIENTS link at the top. There you will see
monthly links that you can click to find out if you are due commission.

Follow the instructions on these pages. Read the terms of commission.

We only pay out on fully paid orders.
We do not pay on cancelled orders.
We do not pay on orders that are not paid for.
We reserve the right to delay commission on orders paid by US personal
checks until they have cleared.
———————————————————–

Commission is paid-out 30 days after order payment's month end
together with both your C1commission and A2commission. This figure
will not show on your stats but you can equate it by looking at the
overrides section and adding a A1commission to every override coming
from a level below your level. So if you are level 2, all overrides
from level 3 will come with an A1commission too.

If you have a query uplease use the dedicated accounts contact form
on the MY CLIENTS link.

Your account department will resolve all issues fast to get your
commission payment out to you.

Use the form on your member area or send an email after 7 days of
not hearing from the accounts deptartment after not hearing from
us with the following subject line;

Send to accounts@morethantraffic.net with the subject line;

###CNP###NOTANSWERED###

And one of our senior accounts staff will monitor the enquiry.

Many Thanks

Very informative? Not at all. Just more of the gobbledegook that Simon has become famous for. I made no changes to the email, this is just exactly as I received it.

Cash Creation - Really? (Posted November 2, 2006)

I wrote about this one more recently and called Sebastian Foss "the man to avoid". I've seen his ads many times, and after doing some online research I decided to stay away from him as he had too many complaints. Well, finally I decided to try his latest offering just to see what he was about.

His boldest claim was "Start earning within 15 minutes or I'll personally refund every single dime of your order!"

Not only was I unable to earn any money - still haven't - I could find very few surveys that would work for a Korean resident. So, I sent him the following email.

Sebastian,

I purchased Cash Creation on 10/29/2007. Here is my order receipt.

Order Invoice / Receipt

Your order was processed successfully on Sun Oct 29 2006 at 00:57:14

Order Number : UXXXXX813

45089cashcrea CashCreation   US $49.97 Download
Single User
1 US $49.97 GBP 27.24

According to your website, if I am unable to make money within the first 15 minutes you will refund my money.
 

Start earning within 15 minutes or I'll personally
refund every single dime of your order!

Not only did I not earn any money, I could not even find a survey that would work for me in Korea within the first 15
minutes. In fact, after nearly an hour, I was unable to find a suitable survey that I could work here from Korea.

Consequently I would like my money refunded.

Thank you.

Here is my reply from Sebastian.

 

Yep, that's right. No response. All I did was quote his terms, directly from his web page, and I got nothing in return.

Save your money, folks. Stay away from people like this.

If you have any programs you are wondering about, let me know and I'll try to review them here. My goal is to save you the pain of losing as much money as I have lost over the past few years.

Thanks for reading.

This is Phoenix Rising, telling it like it is.,
