Okay, I completed their headphones site back at the end of November and then was paid around the 15th of December.

I continued to pursue their camera site and was approved for that on the 4th of December with no problem and they told me that they should have my gift shipped out soon. Since then, ive only gotten 1 reply to a support ticket on the 20th of December saying that "We should have your gift shipped out soon"

Since then, I have opened another support ticket the beginning of January and have yet to hear anything back. I usually recieved an answer to my support tickets within a week. Now I have no repsonse and im starting to get worried, i know they usually come through but i havent heard anyhting.


Has anyone recieved anything from this lately? My last was 225 paypal in december. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks.

I am still waiting for my $220 from headphones. I ordered at the beginning of December. I sent a support ticket at the beginning of Jan but haven't heard either. The guy is horrible at customer service. If i ever get the $220, that's it for these site... It's a shame to because there are tons of offers and they seem to green very easily.

ohh i know. And their payout/ref ratio is pretty good, crediting is fast. All they have to do is just freaking get better customer support and faster shipping and then they would be a top freebie network. I think that they should sell it.

I would buy it and turn it into somehting amazing

Did this site over a year ago, last update I got from them was "You will be paid soon"

I gave up after half a year of waiting, now its been over a year. I doubt they'll do anything about it.

There went 5 referrals down the drain.....

Well I am currently filing an online complaint and linking them to this thread so that they can see that I am not the only one being victimized. If some of you can do the same then maybe something can be done.

Also, I did not know is exact information (some of you do). All I knew was that his name is Kirby Fine.

So if can, put in the most accurate information as possible.

Thanks guys.

Here is the government site that I am filing it on

Im just letting you guys know that my attorney general of PA contacted me via mail and told me that he was looking into my case.

I think something is getting done here. Another great thing that happened to me today was someone from A4F contacted me with all of Kirby's personal information and told me that it for sure is him because he prank called him (Kirby owes him a laptop).

I just added all the personal information to my report and I am calling my attorney general tomorrow during business hours to update them.

Yeah i know. Im seriously looking into a civil lawsuit if it comes down to that.

Im tired of these young owners scamming and running. The attorney general seems interested.


Ill keep you all updated. The more ppl, the better.

Keith, if you file a complaint then that would be great and can probably help our case.

zr2152

24-07-2007 10:07:14

Now I called today and have been given a consumer protection agent that is looking into my case. I gave him all of Kirby's personal information and they are looking into it.

Im going to keep updating this thread throughout the weeks so that other people can maybe submit a complaint.


If you want his personal information, PM me and ill give it to you.

31-07-2007 10:29:57

Nothing yet. Im sure my agent is working on it right now. If I dont hear any updates in a few weeks then ill give him a call and see what is going on.

It would help if other people were victimized could go ahead and do the same as me. Maybe some mods here and on A4F can go ahead and send a mass PM out on both sits and get everyones attention. The more people, the better.

We cant just let this go on like this. Someone needs to take a stance against these privately owned freebie sites who just run for no reason (and no I am not talking about the tickle fiasco).

UPDATE


I am really happy but pissed at the same time. Obviously my attorney general is doing something about it.

Thefreeproject.com is down. It is no longer available so I am sure that he was told to do so.

But the is the email that I got from "support"

Your account was placed on hold for multiple accounts which is a violation of the Terms and Conditions of our website. I apologize for the late response.

HAHA. Bullshit. I was approved and processing.

I am not letting this end. I am going to still contact my attorney general and get this shit going. If you all could PLEASE DO THE SAME AS ME (yes I am shouting).

This is the reply that I sent to him

Bullshit. You are only doing this because you are in trouble with the law. This is ridiculous. This is not over. I do not have multiple accounts and I am going to continue pursuing this.

You better get a good lawyer. Can you please tell me what multiple accounts I have?

Thanks for more proof to fight my case. You can pay me what I am due or just save it for court. You already saw what I could do. Thanks.
