I am working as an Affiliate for various Online Companies for the past 3 years and I never come across such a worst, irritating firm eating people money who hard work themselves to get customers to them by promoting their services through online Search Engines or other campaigns.
DirectROI is a thrid party marketing company who contracted with little firms like ExtraPayday.com (SpeedDog), DegreeLinks.Us etc to provide them with customers. DirectROI also runs Affiliate program which I think is a "FRAUD PROGRAM" on the net to defraud its affiliates afterwards when they are on move to smoothly earn more commissions. As in my case, I was suppose to be paid of total $6040 commission. Let me show you below:
That's for the SpeedDog "Extrapayday.com",
#1 Check Number 1916 - 580.00 Paid 10 Feb 06 (Cancelled Check - Re-sent)—Not Received through Mail.
#2 Check Number 1919 - 560.00 Paid 27 Feb 06
#3 Check Number 1942 - 310.00 Paid 10 Mar 06
#4 Check Number 1960 - 790.00 Paid 24 Mar 06 [580.00 for 16-31 Jan 06 & 210.00 for 01-15 Mar 06] (Included The Cancelled Payment Check)
#5 Check Number 1966 - 250.00 Paid 07 April 06
#6 Check Number 1981 - 320.00 Paid 21 April 06
#7 Amount 290.00 Pending to be paid
That's for the "Degree Links" program,
March 16-31 $1,936.00 and
April 01-15 $1,584.00.
Out of those all Checks that has been sent to me, only $560, $310, $790 has been paid. Total amount of $4380 has ripped off by them. According to DirectROI Affiliate manager Miss. Jeanette, when I failed to logged into my account as regular to check my stats for the daily traffic and conversions, I simply asked her about this issue on her ICQ. What she said is that "Your account has been closed for fraud reasons". Upon further investigating this issue with Mr. Stephan from Accounting Dept., he replied that my account has been freezed due to sending traffic using Fake Credit Cards from other online resource & that company has informed DirectROI by sending "Letter".
I tried to ask several times (Affiliate Manager Accounting Officer) inorder to find only the COMPANY name who has reported my campaigns such a false matter to DirectROI so I can ask that FIRM directly on this issue. Affiliate manager, Jeneatte told me that I should have to go through Legal Procedures in order to find more description or copy of letter they got outside their firm.in other words, they deny to give any kind of description over it clearly. Secondly, my affiliate manager Jeanette provided me their Lawyer email address to email him in order to get more info on it. At last, what has done is, not a single reply from him. So, as per affiliate manager I emailed him 3-4 times but still no reply for the last 40 days.
The anomaly confirmed me about this fraud committed by DirectROI when I found that "Jeanette" & "Stephan" both appeared to be Invisible on my ICQ to have talk on this issue those days. When I doubted, I simply checked their online status at http://www.blockstatus.com inorder to get the real ICQ status.
At the end, I want to conclude that why I should commit such a circulate fraud for promoting someone's products/services? Although, I have my own Credit Card from ePassporte that I am using for a long time to purchase SE traffic etc. And if they are saying truth then they should come at first to prove it.
