I was a member of prison talk online for three years. I would see that the owner, David Frisk would tell the members the web site was down because "it was a victim of it's own success". It would be down for days, back up, down again. He would say he needed all this money, a fundraiser, to keep it online. He greatly exaggerated the true costs. He did not reveal the income from banner ads, google ads, subscriptions to the Con Tact News or the ads on the newsletter. When you would bring this up, they got hostile. They would label you as a trouble maker. I asked the moderators several times for a refund of issues I never received. They asked us to go on "faith" and support this newsletter sight unseen. It would be two months late coming out, with no responses to inquiries about where it was. DAvid Frisks MOTHER handled all the subscription money. They would not give out circulation figures. Suddenly his mother has a sob story and can't do it any more. It was two months after the last issue was DUE out. I have not heard of one refund. They would post all these people saying "just keep the money". I said it is a BUSINESS not a non profit or charity. They took in money for ads and subscriptions, they need to refund the money. He bans people left and right who question him. I am now banned.
