Against my better judgement, in December I signed up for the Offercentric site plasmas4free.com The site offers users monetary rewards for referring other users to the site who then must complete an offer in order for the referrer to receive credit. While it sounds easy, the process is in fact painstakingly tedious. Not only is it quite diffucult to convince referrals the site is legitimate, the offers to receive credit can be expensive to complete and quite often unnecessary to the referral. Compound this with the fact that Offercentric will routinely not give proper credit to the referrer, finishing this site and receiving the reward is virtually impossible.
Beginning in February of I signed up with Google Adwords in order to advertise my referral "link". While my budget initially started small, I eventually found myself spending more and more money in order to refer users who would not complete the offers (or if they did, Offercentric did not give me the proper credit). During this time, I also paid significant amounts of money to various people in order to track their progress and receive due credit from Offercentric. Several of my tracked referrals that completed offers never received credit, and thusly neither did I.
By October of my Google Adwords expenditure had reached over $1400. My tracked referrals had received well over $600. Even after receiving my monetary compensation from Offercentric I would have still been "in the red".
To my sheer horror, on logging into my account on October 27th I found my account disqualified for absolutely no reason after receiving notification from my 21st referral that received credit. No reason was given for disqualification, nor did I receive an email or phone call from the company explaining the disqualification.
Offercentric is notorious for routinely disqualifiying accounts nearing completion with a significant monetary payoff due the referrer. The company makes thousands of dollars from these referrers (and their subsequent
referrers) and offers no compensation. The company is essentially running an illegal operation and should be investigated by agencies appropriate for such matters.
