Wow. I am simply stunned at just what the hell happened here But I will post the AIM convo here and you guys can decide for yourself
[1805] yourgiftsfree It has come out our attention that you have been convicted of frauding in the past. You are a banned user on Anything4Free for signing up multiple times on many sites as well as completing multiple offers. Your referrals IP's are mostly SBC Global customers and have the following offers in common True.com and Advantage Language. Doing some research and asking people we have found out that you are actually not even 24 years old and you are using either a fake ID or your fathers ID which is NOT allowed. Your claimed birthday 4/4/1952 is a FAKE. Therefore you will be indefinitly placed on hold on the following website
All of YourGiftsFree
[1805] parthman05 What is this>
[1806] yourgiftsfree You are on hold on the YourGiftsFree network
[1806] parthman05 why?
[1806] parthman05 no one even writes their real age on fipg
[1807] yourgiftsfree That is not the main reason.
[1807] yourgiftsfree You have multiple IP's, which led us to believe you are restarting your modem. I have come to the attention you are on hold on another site and did true. Some of your refs who also has SBC IP's did true and advantage language.
[1808] yourgiftsfree We have crosschechecked with many sites, all of our information leads to you as a frauder.
[1808] parthman05 How have I frauded and which sites are you talking about
[1809] yourgiftsfree I just stated that above, the site wished to remain anonymous.
[1809] yourgiftsfree You are banned on A4F for the same reason we found out
[1809] parthman05 is it the Free4Every1 network?
[1809] parthman05 and how can i fraud if the ips are from totally diferrent locations?
[1810] yourgiftsfree They are both SBC, you can restart your modem
[1810] yourgiftsfree Also the order4Free network.
[1810] yourgiftsfree You frauded that site as well
[1810] yourgiftsfree The proof we have leads to show you frauded YourGiftsFree
[1810] parthman05 Yes but that would not get me a totally new IP, it would be from the same city
[1810] parthman05 none of my refs are even close to my location
[1811] yourgiftsfree I am sorry this matter cannot be resolved to your satisfaction. I cannot continue this conversation over AIM. You are on hold and lost your aim support privledges. You may send a support ticket inquiry. This is a permanant hold that does not expire. This issue is closed. Thank you.
[1812] parthman05 What the hell? waht about the money you owe me?
[1812] parthman05 I understand you will not pay me for future sites, but at least pay me for the giftcards which I have compelted
[1813] yourgiftsfree You have not passed approval.
[1813] parthman05 ok, but I still do not understand why I am on hold? exactly how does my status on the Order4free newtork matter to you?
[1813] parthman05 I have not frauded you whatsover
[1814] parthman05 I did not even do an offer, i got extra refs
[1815] yourgiftsfree The status is not the case. The case is
A. You are banned for fraud
B. You have multiple IP's and your refs have SBC Ip's that did true (an offer you did)
C. The age
D. Other fraudulent information I already stated
[1815] yourgiftsfree This aim conversation is over
[1815] parthman05 The age? who puts real age on FIpg
[1815] yourgiftsfree You may send in a support ticket inquiry
[1815] yourgiftsfree That is the minor case
[1815] yourgiftsfree This aim conversation is over
So, can anyone please explain to me why YGF is scamming me? what load of bs

Hi,
As I have told you on AIM. Here are the reasons you are on hold.
We (as in me and other site owners) had suspicions that you are using multiple accounts due to you getting a new IP almost more then once a day and only using it once or twice.
A.You are banned on Anything4Free for past frauding - including but not limited to signing up on multiple sites, completeing offers multple times. Which is offer fraud
B.You are and have refs that are SBC Global customers. They all completed true.com/advanatge language. You were banned from another network for multiple accounts which involved true.com
C. As stated above, about the new IP's in the very short period, that leads us to believe that you got a new IP to do those true.com and advantage language offers which you have been caught doing before by another network.
You will remain on hold and this issue is closed.
Thanks,
YourGiftsFree

A. How does my status on Anything4free have anything to do with your site? I have not frauded on YOUR site.
B. None of my refs are even remotely close to me. And I already told you that my IP changes when the modem is reset. This happens to several DSL customers.
C. I got several refs while I was talking to you on AIM, so how could i have reset my modem and done all that while I remained online the entire time?
Also, what if my refs produce IDs?
zr2152
19-01-2007 16:41:16
Just my 2 sense, I dont think that PAST frauding should have anything to do with the present.
Im not calling you out ygf and I hate to bring this shit up again because i think that youre a great owner of a great site and I plan on doing oyur sites but I recall people calling you out as flyersman.
again sorry to bring this up AGAIN...
but i dont think that his account should go on hold due to past frauding on A4F because couldnt any company do that to you on any of their sites?
I dont know the whole story here, just my opinion. Bite at it if you want.

It's not just about frauding in the past, it's also the present. I see what he has done, and it makes his account, and the kind of refs he has make sense. Other site owners and I crosschecked, we all had the same suspicion. I don't just go and put anyone on hold. If they are shady and I have good enough proof, then I do. How many of these topics do you see?

I'm kinda curious myself... if his IPs (from what I understand, the IP numbers assigned are in direct correlation to physical location) are from other locations... i.e. different cities, why is he on hold. I think this should most certainly be investigated. Any good businessman would do such a thing.
(I too was ripped off by YGF, but the issue still hasn't been resolved... not even slightly. 3 refs, 5 offers and not 1 single credit, but let's not even go there again)[/size20b51df24d]

Does anyone else know about how some DSL user's IP resets when their modem is reset? I would just like to make sure that if it did reset, it would be around my location correct? and all of my refs are from fipg so perhaps the mods can verify their location. but i am 100% positive YGF will not put me off hold. He is a scammer who is flat out trying to steal my money.

I know there is a website... something along the lines of ip2location.com that sells a software that can identify the longitude and latitude of a particular IP address.
And I shut down my PC and modem often (my connetion gets kinda shitty the longer it has been up) and get a new IP every time.

MisterTomlinson, crediting is out of my control. I dont credit them, the advertisers do.
Emoneymaker, that is not recent. That was in the past, YourGiftsFree did not scam ANYONE.
Zr12, Every site gets complaints from users on hold. This is one of the few. I think maybe 3 or 4 actually complained for going on hold. While another few hundred or so recieved gifts.
dupebag, TR means nothing. AverageJoe had it in the 200's he did exactly what I suspect parthman is doing, resetting the modem.
Parthman, IP's do reset when you restart. Why woul you restart it a few times a day. Especially when refs that share your ISP do the same offer you got banned doing while you had multiple accounts on another site.

It's been posted 1000 times, site owners have almost nothing to do with offer crediting; if you don't get credit for an offer it's invariably your own fault. YGF does not host ANY of his own offers.

By the way, I have at least 24 full green refs that he hasnt paid me for. Thats 24 refs times $40 per ref=$960. Now I know some of those refs might go red, but still thats a lot of money he owes me. So YGF, why dont you just say the real reason why you put me on hold to get out of paying me the money I earned.

no i didnt mess up.. i asked him on aim...all u have to do is get a quote right? he said yes, so i did that...then i tell him myself i did it and he told me wait a couple of days FOR a 1 day offer. i have the confirmation email and everything..maybe im just impatient but after reading this, i think its a little more than patience

Ok which site is it where I did True or Advantage Language. Let me guess, "the site wished to remain anonymous".
Also, wouldn't the mods posting proof of my refs IP verify that they are in fact legit? And how would showing you their ID's not be enough?
You are probably going to lose a lot more business by not paying me than you would by just paying me what you owe. I will never do any more YGF sites once I am compensated for the ones that I have already done.

Can you atleast comment on whether its true what YGF says? That they all use the same ISP? I'm assuming that mods have access to every members trade module and can check to verify if any of Parth's referrals that did a YGF site have the same SB Global IP or whatever it was.

So, are you saying that the "affiliatte" credits the offers and that he has absolutely nothing to do with crediting? And please don't give me that crap that he doesn't credit until he gets paid and the "affiliatte" gives him word of the offer completion because I'm not stupid! Just because he gets paid doesn't mean he has to pay anyone else. He could easily pocket the money without paying me...

... oh and this is just bullshit! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY REFS that I know personally and have gotten in town and not through referral trading use the same ISP. Here, Verizon DSL is the cheapest and most available... that's it. Where I live, you either got Adelphia cable (more expensive and less used) or Verizon DSL ($17.99 a month).

I'm just saying, that would be the nail in the coffin. Parth said that almost all his referrals were from trading on FiPG, if thats the case, then it can be checked very easily if all the referrals have the same ISP, as YGF claims they do.
Its pretty obvious in your case that you would all have similar ISPs, however, we are talking about trading over a forum, with members from all areas of the country. What are the chances of 21 referrals from all over the country ALL having the same ISP? If they ALL have the same ISP, it might indeed be suspicious.
Keep in mind, I'm neutral here. I don't have much experience with YGF(only done a handful of his sites), and I also know Parth that much, outside of a trade we did when he was still new.

O boy... this is not good news for me... I currently have around 20 refs as well on a YGF site and I'm submitting for approval as soon as a few more green... I did two offers I've never done before but the issues regarding refs having an IP from SBC worry me since I'm on SBC as well (Comcast is way more expensive for not that big an increase in speed). Was planning to try and get as many refs for the site as possible since there's a custom order option but I don't want to get cheated out of almost a grand either... I'm really aching for this money so I can run out and buy a DSLR so I really don't want to risk not getting the money. I haven't been banned from A4F and I haven't frauded so I guess that clears me, right? Problem is that with so many refs... lots of crap way out of my control could go wrong...
And just a thought... What's going to happen to all of Parth's refs? I don't think it's fair at all that they aren't going to get paid for doing an offer since there are some that are bound to be legit. liShrugsli

[quoteb3967ec5f1="mistertomlinson"][quoteb3967ec5f1="doylnea"]It's been posted 1000 times, site owners have almost nothing to do with offer crediting; if you don't get credit for an offer it's invariably your own fault. YGF does not host ANY of his own offers.[/quoteb3967ec5f1]
So, are you saying that the "affiliatte" credits the offers and that he has absolutely nothing to do with crediting? And please don't give me that crap that he doesn't credit until he gets paid and the "affiliatte" gives him word of the offer completion because I'm not stupid! Just because he gets paid doesn't mean he has to pay anyone else. He could easily pocket the money without paying me...[/quoteb3967ec5f1]
Without spending too much time on an unrelated to the topic question, yes, YGF has I would guess nothing to do with offer crediting. The affiliate providers pass him a file which contains their data about offer completions, and that info is integrated into his site's crediting system.
Some offers credit quickly, some take longer to postback to the affiliates, and then post to YGF.
The point about YGF not giving credit unless he gets notice of the credit is valid. Think about this
If you ran a site, and someone told you that they completed 98 offers and none of them credited, but they demanded they get paid, would you pay them? Or more to the point, if you didn't get paid by the affiliate, would you pay the customer demanding payment?

Please read my post above. Also, YGF's policy is that you cannot submit a no-credit request until 7 days after you complete the offer. If your referrals submit a request before 7 days, the request is closed without any further action. Once they submit a request after 7 days, the affiliates have to review each request and decide whether to award credit.

For Christ's sake, I understand that!!!!!!!!!!!! But, let's not be naive! What the hell makes you think he wouldn't accept payment for your offer completion and NOT give you credit?! Seriously... I am tired of people saying, "if he doesn't get paid, you don't get paid!" Who the hell says he didn't get paid?! You know, it is absolutely possible he could get paid and not give two shits about your credit. No money for you = more money for him. You understand that, don't you? Does that make sense to you? Please do not tell me crediting is out of his control because it is NOT.
I don't mean to be rude and certainly don't want you to ban me for this outburst, but someone needs to bring the possibility of site owner scamming to light. A lot of you YGF loyalists seem to think site owners don't scam... can't scam. Give me a break.

dmorris68
19-01-2007 19:36:20
Trainn is actually notorious for slow credit and requiring manuals. Of all the offers I've done through Trainn, I think all but 2 or so required either a very long wait for credit, or a manual request. When asked about it, Trainn-Alan tells you the same thing that we're saying here -- he has no control over offer crediting.
As doylnea pointed out, ALL site owners get accused of crediting problems, but NONE of them control crediting. You guys don't seem to realize that skimming from users would net him far less money than being honest and keeping his customers happy. It's common business sense, and I know that he realizes it. There are FAR too many happy YGF customers around here -- literally dozens if not hundreds -- and only a relative handful with complaints like this. Same with FusionCash, same with Trainn, etc.

Wow,
Ok ,not ALL of his refs were SBC IP's. I NEVER said that. Please tell me if I did. I believe I said some of his refs that did true were SBC IP's (same as his.) Let me review.
1.) Other siteowners and I crosscheck for fraud. Someone brought him up about how his IP changes 1-3 times a day. Also how his refs are similar. So I checked and I see the same.
2.) Before all of this I noticed alot of his refs were doing true.com. I thought he was legit so I just monitored it.
3.) Then me and other site owners found out he was banned from another network for MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS (what you can do when you restart your modem which gives you new IP's) He also did the True.com offer.
4.) So some of his SBC refs did true.com
5.) SBC= his ISP, and I suspect and see he restarts his modem.
Does anyone get what I mean.
If you have an SBC ISP it is fine as long as you don't cheat, like it looks like parth did.
As for no credits.
They are out of my control. I showed you tom, a screenshot of it say denied and me getting 0.00
As for as others, no credit card credits take a few days or may not credit. Again it is out of control, believe me I want the credit in to so i can be paid.
Any other questions?

Ok, doylnea and myself have looked into parth's Trade Module. We found that although he has (currently) 36 IP's that he has posted from on this forum, they're all from the same DSL ISP, all from the same area. None of his IP's resolve to anywhere but the same town/city.
He has 38 credited trades in the Trade Module for YGF sites (but has more that have yet to be completed or credited) and of those 38 credited trades (remember they're complete trades, person signed up, went green and was paid), not a single one of his refs has registered, posted or logged in from even the same town/city as parth is doing.
His refs are from all over the country, many different states and there were no indications that any of his refs were the same person creating multiple accounts to trade on.
It seems as if someone with erroneous or unedumacated information passed it around the freebie scene site owners who all just jumped on it and ran with it. I see no reason for his accounts to be placed on hold, and there's no indication that he's a previously banned member either.

I've been having sooo much fun learning the freebie trade...and yeah, I guess it pretty much sucks to get scammed or feel like you're getting scammed. I'm not a very patient person and this whole freebie scene has definitely proven that to me. I just think that if everyone would communicate nicely with each other, and have a little patience, and not jump the gun on a suspicion things would be so much smoother. Waiting for credit from offers you've completed and have the emails for definitely sucks. I HATE THE WAITING....but patience is a virtue and that's where I stand!

Exactly. Only you (parth) can know whether your refs were legit or not, I just checked out your trades and IP's on this forum. Our (staff) reach only goes so far and I simply posted the information we are privy to as well as my own opinion.

I know some of the mods might be doing his sites, but that shouldnt stop you from taking action. However, I am still trying to talk to him and see if hes willing to take me off hold. If he fails to lift the hold, and FIPG allows him to continue his account on FIPG as before, I have no words to say. There has to be some sort of punishment. However, I am still in the process of working with him. Although he said he would talk to me tonight, he suddenly signed off, so Im not sure how serious he is about reviewing my account. Either way, I will make a post when he decides.

I am a huge YGF fan... but I'm not sure what to think of this. I mean technically YGF doesn't have to prove himself because of the TOS.
Even though all of this happened, it's not stopping me from doing YGF sites, I have had 0 problems with them.
On a side note, parth went red on my site, but he refunded my money.
--- Just think to yourself this, has YGF ever scammed you or can you think of many times where people have complained about YGF scamming them? ( real scams, not about that crediting issue thing with tom). I think YGF knows what he is doing. Remember that we can't see YGFs end of the deal.. he said that parth scammed, so should we believe him? Parth said that he didn't scam, so should we believe him? YGF has hundreds of happy people who completed his site, and Parth has hundreds of TR. We just have to pick someone to believe, parth or YGF.

Whatever happened to the rule that if you aren't a part of the scam, don't get involved. ?
I don't want to take sides here, but here is my view. I completely disagree with site owners cross-checking legitmacy of referrals with other site owners. I know A4F has a pool of sites doing this, and it annoys me because if you get put on hold on Orderit4Free for frauding, then you would be put on hold on the entire Free4Me network. This questions the legitmacy of the source of information because even though a user put someone on hold on one network, it shouldn't mean that they are partially banned from the freebie scene. You don't see Freepay and Trainn cross-checking holds. It would be ridiculous if they did that, and everyone would protest against it, but of course this does not apply to the smaller networks for whatever reason. This method just increases profits for smaller networks and lessens their professionalism.
The only sure way to check if the referrals were legit would be to check every trade from the trade module with every referral he got, to make sure each one was unique. I also don't see anything wrong with providing ID's.
HotGifts4You
20-01-2007 04:41:54
I agree that providing ID's would solve this problem. Yet YGF for some reason believes that it won't. So tell me YGF, why isn't providing ID's enough?

I'm not going to judge who is scamming who here but I have to step up and put in my 2 cents worth based soley on my experiences (which are relatively few, but nonetheless real)...
1. parth82390 has so far honored all of our trade agreements impeccably. Paid quickly according to our terms.
2. When I did giftcards.ygf, I made a note in the trade module that it was a very painful experience. I had a very difficult time getting any of the offers to even connect. (Even after shutting off Norton and readjusting my IE security settings). One of the offer sites kept throwing page errors when I submitted my cc info to complete the offer and never did go through after 5 tries!
3. I just now tried 3 times to go to ygf and got the error message "Internet Exporer cannot display the webpage."
4. My IP address also changes frequently because (1) my modem quits on a frequent basis, (2) my ISP changes all its customers' IPs regularly for security reasons, and (3) our local DSL infrastructure is not what it ought to be (after all it is West Virginia!).
My question is, how [b284a2f3b54]could [/b284a2f3b54]a trader with a TR of 284 such as parth82390 get away with scamming for so long without someone on the forum marking him???
Maybe no one is scamming anyone here and it's all just a big miscommunication??

Quit ragging on YGF, I had nothing but great experiences. Your trade module won't prove much unless the ref that has that SBC IP is a member on this forum. If this is the case, you then have a case. It is suspicious they kept doing those offers especially if "they" had SBC. That's all I am saying. If you can prove that those SBC refs are members here and actually traded with you here, then I could see you complaining. But as of now, YGF has more than enough to put you on hold. If he was scamming you he could have never paid out anything to you.

Stop posting in threads with posts like this with absolutely no content at all for the sole purpose of advertising your site. I've gone through your posts and not a single one has something that's not either about your site or a useless passive "LOOK AT ME!"
After looking at how things panned out, I think the deciding factor as to how I see it is that Parth had been paid in the past. If YGF was trying to scam Parth, I doubt he would've sent him over a thousand dollars before suddenly waking up one day and deciding that the guy is scamming him. And for all those worrying about the SBC DSL thing, I'm pretty sure that's just part of the reason for the hold, Parth's being banned on A4F probably didn't do anything to help his case of being a trustworthy trader.

Also, I am now unbanned on A4F. They cleared me of all accusations. I dont know if that makes a difference to anyone, but that was one of the reasons why YGF put me on hold, so I just wanted to post about it.

[2029] parthman05 ok, thats what I figured
[2029] parthman05 So is there any way my accounts can be put off hold
[2030] yourgiftsfree I am sorry but you will remain on hold.
[2030] parthman05 I dont know what you need, there has to be something to prove the refs were legit
[2037] parthman05 Also, was my being banned on A4F a concern?
[2037] yourgiftsfree It helpwed me investigate

[2038] parthman05 Seriosly, cant you just please try and see this from my point of view?
[2038] parthman05 I have a lot of money pending on your sites
[2039] yourgiftsfree I have alot of proof and suspicions, you will remain on hold.
[2039] parthman05 a lot of proof?
[2039] parthman05 you have not supplied any
[2039] parthman05 You said I did True and Advantage Language multiple times?
[2039] parthman05 i have never even done Advantage language
[2039] yourgiftsfree I told you, you restarted your modem to sign up under yourself
[2039] yourgiftsfree brb
[2040] parthman05 Ok, how about I give you my ref ID's
[2040] parthman05 they are ALL from FIPG
[2040] yourgiftsfree No, you will remain on hold this issue i closed
[2040] yourgiftsfree brb
Now how in the world can the mods explain to me how YGF should not be banned? He is not even attempting to give me a chance to prove myself. And just where is this "proof" he keeps talking about? I know im not the first FIPG trader to know problems with YGF and I for sure will not be the last. I mean the least YGF can do is give me a chance to verify my refs. HOW WOULDN'T PROVIDING REF ID'S BE ENOUGH? Can anyone please answer that question for me?

It is not up to us (FiPG Staff members) what's site owner/representative do on their own site or to their own members. If YGF has decided that you defrauded his sites or offers, then he has a right to place you on hold. Actually, he can place you on hold for anything he wants to, as can most sites (if not all).
If there were mass complaints of him putting accounts on hold or credit revocations, then there would be reason to ban him as those are actions deemed suspicious. But he's still sending out thousands of dollars every week (as recent as last night), so we have no reason to ban him.
If he we banned every site owner who had a complaint against them by a member claiming to have been wrongly placed on hold, we'd have no site reps or forums here whatsoever.
That's not to say I don't believe you parth, or that I believe YGF, but there's no one person who's bigger than this forum and the views of one member will not change our decisions or policies (unless it's Tyler).

I haven't had any luck with them either....Scam? Not sure, but credit denied several times when I completed offers legitimately and applied for credit requests in ample time to still continually get denied...Makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever...Had all my email headers as they should've been, and still got denied credit....This site made no sense to me, and I'm turning away from doing anything else there...
i think YGF is just too strict when it comes to the IP things..

That is because none of those SBC refs were here at fipg, that is why he has TSJ check. This is what makes sense. As for the ID's anyone could have their friends submit the, not saying your refs aren't real though. It is hard to pick a side on this issue, but it sure looks like YGF had good grounds to place you on hold. If the refs were true you should have them make a post in here. Then the IP's can be checked. That's just my opinion.

22-01-2007 09:26:11
My opinion on the subject although it is most likely not wanted or cared about. I can understand parth's anger but under YGF's TOS it does say you can be placed on hold for any reason. I do not know the full facts behind it, but YGF tends to make good judgement calls on these things and talks with other site owners before making a hasty decision. Now whether it was warranted or not is between YGF and Parth and really no one else. A public display isn't going to resolve anything in any instance but it does relieve some frustration and stress parth may be feeling right now. Im can say I am unbias in this situation but I like YGF and his sites so therefore my decision does indeed have bias. I would love to beileve YGF is solid in his holds and I personally never had any problem with him whatsoever.

Sort of off topic, but you don't necessarily need software to track the location. I know a traceroute can get you pretty damn close, although maybe not the exact coordinates especially in instances of a proxy, but this is totally unrelated >.>

One thing people need to remember is that IP geolocation does not work like GPS location does. The only thing it can prove is the ISP and the general location. If you're with a large ISP (such as SBC), your IP can easily show up as being in another town or even another state. It just depends on how their routing works out.
Take my ISP for instance (Windstream, formerly Alltel). First of all, because I live in a suburb, my IP never shows up as my actual city, but the adjacent bigger city. But sometimes it shows up as Little Rock, AR because that's where the DSL NOC is located. I'm in Georgia. Figure the discrepancy yourself. ;)
Just saying that while geolocation is a useful tool, by itself it can't be depending on as a reliable indicator. Meaning just because someone's refs show up as being in different nearby areas, doesn't necessarily preclude them from being the same person.

Wow, I've done many sites for parth82390 and have gotten paid. I don't even know where he lives. I do know that I am an sbcglobal customer and everytime i use my dial up account, it's a different IP. Also, I do this a lot in town on a WiFi, so that IP would be different. I just can't stand dial up at home, so I'll come into town (i live in the boonies).
And like others said, if you shut your computer off it resets IP address.
As for the sites, I did True for him, it was 100% free, who wouldn't want to do that site and get paid for it. I also did advantage language for him, I was green the instant i clicked it and it was cheap too, who wouldn't want the instant credit so that we all can get paid right away????
And i know I'm knew, and I almost got banned from the forum for replying twice to my own thread becuase I forgot info. We all make mistakes.
Wasn't YGF banned from from A4F? I'm sure there was a legit reason for that. Just like most everything else on here......

I did the BMG offer on one of YGF's sites for one of his contests and basically I never got credit for it, he said they didn't credit me and that they did not have a reason for not crediting me. I don't really think that makes sense since I can't even imagine a way for them to say I was invalid and for them to deny credit. I have also done the columbia house offer on another site and received credit for that offer. Columbia House is owned by the same company that owns BMG and I'm sure they share clients/information. I never got a confirmation email from BMG, but I did get the cds I requested to be mailed to me and I also am getting emails from their club.
Not saying he is a scammer or anything, but not receiving credit from BMG doesn't really make sense to me.

CD/DVD membership clubs often have difficulty with crediting. I've seen it on other sites as well, it's not unique to YGF. And sometimes when they do credit, it can take weeks. It took me 19 days to get credit for Disney DVD Club about a year ago, and I've heard similar cases with CH and BMG (neither of which I've tried as a freebie offer because I've been members of both in the past -- still am with BMG). YourMusic (also a BMG venture) also never credited for me on another site, and ironically enough it's an awesome offer that I still subscribe to almost a year later. Figures that some of the offers I've kept long-term were the ones with the most problems crediting.

Well to add fuel to the fire. About a week ago I signed up for one of ygf's sites without a referal, and completed an offer. I then went to check later that night, and I couldn't log into my account anymore. I tried email recovery, and it gave me some error. So I tried to see if it would let me sign up again with my same email, but it gave me an error saying my email was in use.
I then got ahold of ygf on aim, and asked him whats up. I gave him my email, and he said my account does not exist. A few hours pass, and I try to get the password again, and also see if I could sign up with my email again, and I could!
I asked him whats up once more, and he said that his programmer is looking into it, that there is an error in the system. He said thay my account will be fixed, with my credit.
It has been a few days now, and I message him everytime I see him on, but he gives me the same excuse.
For being my first site that I signed up with, it sure was a hell of a bad experience and a waste of my time.

I'm still subscribed to YourMusic as well from doing the EFG site last year. Zooba's a great offer if you go out and buy books every once in a while as well. They have lots of books selling for under what Amazon does since everything is ten bucks with free shipping. Wish they had more Sedaris books but neh.
And to the guy who's account got wiped. I think YGF has better things to do than delete the account of one person. If anything, it's probably an error with the database.

YourMusic (also a BMG venture) also never credited for me on another site, and ironically enough it's an awesome offer that I still subscribe to almost a year later. Figures that some of the offers I've kept long-term were the ones with the most problems crediting.[/quoteee5bff1094]
Yeah YourMusic was one of my favorite offers as well.[/quoteee5bff1094]
I'm still subscribed to YourMusic as well from doing the EFG site last year. Zooba's a great offer if you go out and buy books every once in a while as well. They have lots of books selling for under what Amazon does since everything is ten bucks with free shipping. Wish they had more Sedaris books but neh.
And to the guy who's account got wiped. I think YGF has better things to do than delete the account of one person. If anything, it's probably an error with the database.[/quoteee5bff1094]
I used Zooba because my mom loved it. She kept getting cooking books. P So that offer was really nice.

Columbia House takes a week or two to credit, same for BMG. I'm still a member of Columbia House and used to be a member of BMG. YourMusic and BMG equal out in costs when you calculate the costs of 12 CDs.
Zooba was an okay offer, I got a few good books from them.

Yeah, I can understand that Columbia House and BMG may take a bit to credit. But I'm saying I was a member for Columbia House and I had no problems, but when I did BMG they denied credit to me, though I did not get my account on hold, so I can't really understand why I didn't get credit. Also, it has been over a month since I did the BMG offer, so it's because I haven't waited long enough.

Well it seems to me that all owners nowadays are either college students or even highschool students(don't all revenue sites require you to be 18 years old?) trying to get a quick buck. And because the best way they make money is by puting people on hold any way they can. I belive a site should pay their customers as long as they get paid. This is why I will only pursue trainn sites which I have never gotten a single hold on including my refs and they have the highest payout ratio so it seems they should try and put the most people on hold for no reason but they don't.
Also there is no such thing as a site owner scamming because he makes the rules and says that you can be put on hold for no reason. It's just that you might not wanna sign up to his site if he's just gonna put you on hold for no reason.

Guys if you are noobs you have no idea about YGF at all so please do not post like you know everything. Thanks. Anyways, I had nothing but good experiences with YGF. It is very unlikely he would scam anyone. If he was scamming parth he would have never paid him out so much money then waited till now to put him on hold. If a lot of the referrals had an SBC ip and did the same offers that is quite odd.

It just occurred to me that a lot of these new folks -- particularly those who seem to have a problem with reading, comprehending, and following rules (both here and at freebie sites) -- may not understand or appreciate the concept of a "walkthrough," and thus may be going on hold for that reason.
Walkthroughs are expressly forbidden by virtually all freebie sites, and one of the criteria for detecting a walkthrough is that all or a significant number of your refs complete the same offers, and especially if they're all completed closely together (time-wise).

I can sorta see a problem for hiding the IP address, but since he (Roger) was using DIRECPC, that's a satelite service, right? What if that's all they do and he has no control of it, is he not allowed to participate in all this great stuff?
I still stick to the original, Parth hasn't done me wrong in the 4 or so trades we did. He paid me on Green when my TR was 0.
I've been checking my IP everytime I connect now, and guess what, I haven't been given the same IP address twice since I started logging it. And that's something I can't control, that's on SBC, or now AT&T Yahoo Services.
Further researching says that ATT Yahoo is offered to the 9 subsidaries of ATT and is the largest DSL ISP (according to Wikipedia) <url=>http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T<>http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T</url>
So even if not ALL of his Refs were SBC IPs, there's a legitamate reason that MOST of them are.

As I'm sure you're well aware, I also just got scammed by YGF, but not for "multiple" referrals with same IP or anything crazy like that.
Did you notice how YGF went to great lengths to ensure that parth was frauding him? Yeah, he didn't go to any lengths at all to investigate my situation. And yes, he does avoid the ID question entirely- I only have one "suspicious" referral out of my greens and she is my close friend who said she would even let me scan her birth certificate.
I wish YGF would put the kind of time into my case that he put into parth's case. I just want him to treat me fairly- I read his ToS word for word and still don't think I directly violated or that I should be placed on hold for good.
I feel for you parth, he said the same stuff to me but I only had one "account" against me- My IP doesn't change or anything. He just wants a quick buck.
I still think there is a chance he might look into it further and take me off hold; if he does, than his network is still good and I'll continue to do it but as of right now I completely agree with parth and feel for him.

I posted this over in another thread about the same thing, and figured I'd add it here
[quote892c6995e4="Teleboas"]
Actually, I disagree with this.
I'm kind of in the same boat as legolias right now. One of my refs were having a problem with reporting a manual credit, so I went over to their house to help them figure it out, and out of instinct...logged into my own account.
Also, my GF's mom signed up under me, and used the same password as me (I made her a gmail email awhile back to use, and used my PW with it, and I guess she picked it up as her own)...
Anyways, my point is, I talked to him about it, and he's atleast thinking about it right now. If he puts me on hold, I know it was my own mistake, and my own problem. But, he was nowhere near rude about it, and I understand his position on it completely.
It's his job, and every sites like his job to catch people who fraud, so the whole freebie scene isn't ruined for all of us.[/quote892c6995e4]
And, an update on it. I ended up sending in IDs, and he paid me the day after. Sometimes I wonder if people were just a little more polite and friendly to these site owners, just limaybeli they'd get their issues worked out more to their liking.

Wow Parth, I feel for ya, at least you were taken off hold by A4F. I do find it interesting that YGF, seemed supprised about that in your AIM convo, and left the messenger rather quickly after that...it seems you are making progress, and should keep pursuing. If, however you did recommend offers for your referrals to complete, and it was unsolicitated, then that is a form of walk through. If you were simpley stated the offers available, I dout that is "walk through." If by chance you were asked questions and/or opinions about certain offers in a legitimate manner..ie Have you done this offer? What did you think of it? Well, anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, but that would be more of consumer opinion, not a walk through.
I have had some success with YGF (HOT GIFTS). Completed 2 offers that credited instantly. I asked for them to be revoked because I had used/and signed up with a e-mail address not associated with my bank account. My mistake. Got that straightened out, and finished the offers needed, though one more didn't credit (true) and had to submit a manual request. I did that the same day since it was supposed to credit instantly, and YGF put it through right away. Did not have to wait the 7 days.
I also am a bit concerned about the IP add changes, since I am now having to use dial-up, my computer has to be restarted several times a day and the IP address changes every time.
I'm afraid to do YGF now. I will get my ethernet card fixed shortly, so I can get my dsl back, but again it will still be a diff IP add. I hope that they wont hold that against me like they have you.
Also, most people who are just starting out go for the cheapest and quickest crediting offers...I did, but was also interested in them and am still a member of true, even though it didn't credit...LOL

Wow, is that really true? If so, YGF's comment above you is a flat out lie! I can't say because I don't know...but if that's true...yow!!!!!
you should post a screenshot of the site in question showing you didn't do your own offer. That would prove that he just lied.

Just to clear up the confusion Its one or some of his referrals that are himself. Thats just one part of the TOS violations

I have completed two of his sites and two offers were credited instantly and a month and half later, the other two are still waiting for manual credit. I have received all ordered goods, ect, and have tried several times to find out what the hold up is. The only answer I get, which is usually days later is that it is up to the sponsor. I really don't know if he can do anything to speed up the process, but he dosen't seem to be the most helpful with answers. If anyone has any answers, I know I and the person I completed the offers for would love to hear them.

Hey all. I'd just like to join in on this YGF site.
A while back, a buddy I referred and myself decided that we would give this a shot. When asked, the owner said we could do a 2nd one if we wanted when we were done. My buddy said he wanted to start small. I on the other hand, got a little over-zealous and went after a laptop.
So doesn't it figure that when we both get ready to check out, he puts our accounts on hold?
Unfortunately, the people I had referred were based primarily on the campus I go to and since the ip's resembled each other (hmm imagine that...)
Anyways.. my account was put on hold, I was dealt with extremely rudely, and to top it all off, he spams my email with updates every 2 days or so and refuses to respond to my email asking him to remove my address.
After 4 attempts to contact him, I have now spoken with his hosting company in regards to his blatant refusal to deal with his spamming practices.
Please... avoid this site AT ALL COSTS
It is not worth the time and aggravation.

I suppose its along the lines of the Ebay power sellers that have 98% positive feedback... but like 3000 negatives.
You begin to wonder how many of those are legitimate complaints?
I don't even care about the laptop anymore. I just want him to stop spamming my email. And no, I will not put up a spam filter for it. This is a matter of principal. Not being paid for the work done getting referrals and completing your own offer is wrong.
I see powerbook as his lone brown-nosing, hired-henchman, supporter amidst scads of people crying foul.
Honestly people... just wake up, stop feeding him, and force him to become a hard-working contributor to society instead of feeding off of his all-encompassing tos and authority of being a "site owner".
Get me off your spam lists. While you're at it ygf, don't send anyone emails. Last I checked, no one agreed to them and they are therefore considered "unsolicited".

I turned one of my buddies toward the freebie scene here on my campus. I didnt exactly look but im sure that we have similar IP's (not identical). So I dont thikn that is a good excuse, as long as they are not the same. WE have both cashed out from different sites and neither of us went on hold. Everytime I start a new YGF site, I check to make sure that my status is in good standard so that I dont end up getting screwed in the end, just a precaution that many of you should start taking.

By showing us I did not mean plastering them all over the forums, there are easy ways to tell if someone has two accounts and you wouldnt even need the whole email address.
And since when have site owners (besides a couple) given a damn about privacy. I have seen site owners give out addresses and phone numbers on the forum of scammers, let me guess - because they are scammers it makes it OK?

this post is starting to sound like a news article where a student came forward about a teacher molesting him. People didn't quite know what to think, since he seemed like such a nice guy.
Then the 18 other people he molested got the courage to speak out when they realized they weren't alone.

[quotedb58e6ff87="Crouching Tiger Hidden Ga"]Well it seems to me that all owners nowadays are either college students or even highschool students(don't all revenue sites require you to be 18 years old?) trying to get a quick buck. And because the best way they make money is by puting people on hold any way they can. [bdb58e6ff87]I belive a site should pay their customers as long as they get paid.[/bdb58e6ff87] This is why I will only pursue trainn sites which I have never gotten a single hold on including my refs and they have the highest payout ratio so it seems they should try and put the most people on hold for no reason but they don't.
Also there is no such thing as a site owner scamming because he makes the rules and says that you can be put on hold for no reason. It's just that you might not wanna sign up to his site if he's just gonna put you on hold for no reason.[/quotedb58e6ff87]
First off, I'm 31 and putting people on hold for no reason is only the best way to make money if you're extremely short sighted. The best way to make money long term is to run an honest site and treat people fairly so your business grows and more people do your site. But it's the part in bold that I wanted to comment on. It's something I hear a lot and on the surface it makes sense, but it's a bad idea for several reasons.
1. The only way to know for certain that an offer gets paid is to wait until the 15th of the following month. So if your last ref goes green on May 1, you would have to wait for June 15 to know. But that's the smallest problem of the 3. It's also the only way possible to avoid problem 3 which is the huge one.
2. We are making our money by advertising. The sites are paying us to deliver users to them to try their product. If we deliver the same user 27 times, they're not getting what they're paying for.
3. But the big one is this. Let's say I follow that practice - as long as I get paid, the user gets paid. Before too long, people will figure out that Offer X is really easy to fraud so people will do Offer X repeatedly. Offer X will continue to pay, so I'll pay my users. Eventually Offer X will wake up and realize that all a large percentage of the traffic that they're paying for from affiliate marketing consists of people like "Mickey Mouse" and "Fake Name" (you don't believe me? I've had people sign up at my site with names like "Shadow Hedgehog" and "Professor Chaos"). Then they'll get upset and decide not to pay out ANY leads (even the good ones) that are still owed - which would probably be a full month's worth. When this happens, we lose big money. It happened to me a few months ago but I only lost a little under $1,000.00 Just ask F4M or OC4F about how much money they lost when Tickle did that. They lost HUGE amounts of money (5-figure numbers). That's a huge amount of money, that I don't want to risk. And of course, if I wait until the 15th and pay as long as I get paid, then even though I'm covering myself, I won't get as much business because of the long wait and I'll be helping bring about a scenario like this and royally screwing all the other site owners (not to mention the advertisers who are paying for bogus leads).
So in short - on my site, fraud=hold. Of course, this thread is about people who are claiming that they didn't fraud but are still on hold and that's another issue. I can't comment on that one.
And as a final point - I only completed one Trainn site back when I was doing freebie sites from the user end, and on that one site I did have a hold and had to resubmit my order a second time P

22-04-2007 11:51:09
whew, ive finally read mostly all the posts in this thread, but now its my point of view.
first of all, im not taking anyones side here, but i think it is EXTREMELY rude for a user to call out a company on an online message board without trying to get it resolved elsewhere. this wasnt really the case with most of these posts here, but just saying.
second, it many freebie sites TOS now it does state that if you are banned from any freebie forums, you can be placed on hold. (ex. 123stuffforfree, me, and others)
third, if your IP changes, the freebie site has every reason to be suspicious. why wouldnt it be? most of these users have no clue what its like to run a site and how much money can be lost because of scammers and frauders. so its perfectly okay for freebie sites to be extra careful when shipping orders.
thats it for now, but im sure i'll think of more later ;)

Quote from above
"Parthman, IP's do reset when you restart. Why woul you restart it a few times a day. Especially when refs that share your ISP do the same offer you got banned doing while you had multiple accounts on another site."
I'm a bit of topic, as gator, you have a new issue, but wanted to comment. wink
If IP's changing is such a huge issue with YGF, then I wont be doing their sites, and must be up a creek with some other sites as well. I have dial up right now, and get booted off line frequently...everytime the phone rings. My comp sig stays the same though. Don't really understand what the big issue is when IP's change, even when I use DSL it changes some times, but as I said my computers sig is always the same. I found out just the other day that I often show I'm dialing out of Dallas, and that is 300 miles away from me...so if I have a referral who lives within 600 miles from me ie 300 miles in the other direction of Dallas, there is a good chance that our IP addresses can be the same at times
.
That really bites. I guess I'm very fortunate to have found a site that doesn't consider IP add conflicts are an issue to put a person on hold. OGF
As I said, hope everything worked out Parth, and others that seem to be fighting with YGF!

I am new to this forum. I did one transaction. In fact with a user who is a member of this forum, whom was teaching , or aiding me as to how to use this site. I do have AOL, however when trading I use Internet explorer.
When I finally went green, I was paid by for going green. I was shocked the next morning when the offered e-mailed me telling me my account was put on hold. For Fraud, I had been committing fraud state wide, for quite awhile. Needles to say I was incensed . I wrote him letters, the offerer who was aiding me wrote, and told him this guy is not the type.

Subject Re gone red
I tried to explain that to the owner of the site but he said that you used different emails and different addresses from different states. I think he mite have you confused. I told him that I felt it was a newbie mistake. I am sorry. I tried.
Just go ahead and refund my money asap. I appreciate it. And I will not contact a moderator. But if I can help somehow, let me know.
I sent him mail, to date He has not said one word (Copies)

I am very unfamiliar with YGF but I did try to go green for a member here as my first trade and i did three offers with only one crediting for 1/2 so I guess that didn't work out. I talked to him on AIM about manual credit, he looked into it but didn't find anything. I also get several emails from his website. I IMed him about taking my email off because I didn't want to receive anymore emails about a site that I stopped participating in and he didn't seem to keen about it. I still received emails after that conversation but haven't in a few days so hopefully I'm off the list. wink

I wonder just how many of these freebie websites are owned by one person??? Anyone has any clue???
I had been involved in more than 12+ money making website in the past; where 6 of them were all owned by one person.
It's hard to check up to see if such owner owns more than one freebie site (or maybe...even all of them) but everyone should be caution.
In my prior experience, I was able to identify that the site I was involved in was owned by one person because he/she used the same e-gold account #.
(Try to look for clues everyone! Be caution!)
I'm just a regular person yet I had grown tired of being scammed for years now. Currently, I am just starting to look into this whole IFY thingy. AND...in the last few days of my searching I do noticed that a whole lot of freebie website layout out there are awefully the same layout...same terms....same rules....same in nearly up to 85% or 90%.
Heck I even stumbled over a website (here's the link ... http//www.scripts.freebielifescripts.net/ ... that provides "Freebie Scripts for purchasing price! Whooooaaa.....that just brings me back to what I mentioned earlier..."Just how many of these freebie websites are owned by one person?"
I was going to register for a 'yourgiftsfree' site BUT....I just noticed that today (June 30, 2007 @ 9.57am PST) the majority of their websites (all ending in 'yourgiftsfree.com') were all down.
I'm taking my own precaution and is staying away from 'ygf'...BUT...t I will be wondering around myself wasting precious time and finding out more for my own research.
P.S. --- Hey YourGiftsFree ... how many ygf/freebie websites do you own? And...who are the owners of the other websites that you cross-shared information with? Are they your websites? Maybe your friend's website? Hmmm...

YGF is a shitty company if you ask me. I finished one of his sites and he put me on hold for using a proxy. A proxy?! I have never visited a proxy website or anything on my computer EVER. Only time I have ever used a proxy was when I was in highschool trying to play games on the computers in the library.
It sounds to me like he is putting random people on hold so he can make a few extra bucks from the offers that the people and their refs completed.
Thanks for nothing YGF. I'm happy that this thread is back up, and I think it should be stickied so when the new comers come to FiG, they know what sites the SHOULDN'T sign up under, because they will get screwed in the long run.

i have seen many posts around here on Yourgiftsfree. I just read them and leave, but I really just want to say that everyone here has had different experiences with different networks. Some good and some bad. That does not mean that the networks are good or bad. I myself have had nothing but things to day about Yourgiftsfree- their payout is so fast and support is there. Right now all the networks I bet are pretty backlogged with support tickets after all the recent crediting changes. I have only been in the freebie scene for about 6 months but I have learned that patience is the key. I am sure that I will get some rebuttal for this post , but I really like yourgiftsfree and will finish all of their sites!

Is the mans IP Comes up as a proxy, You should have warned him BEFORE he completed all his offers. Also, Your system could be incorrect. Instead of being the judge, jury, and executioner, why don't you ask a FIPG admin / mod What the users IP is and if it matches with the one on YGF's site, it's not a proxy. If they are different, It's a proxy. You can also lookup the IP on any IPlookup website, and if it matches his registration city, Its not a proxy. So many ways to tell...

I wasn't in the employment of YGF when Quadracer was put on hold; I wasn't even a member of this site (given his one thread, his hold happened last December). Plus, I don't have any control over holds ... well, I might have a little influence, but generally speaking, the Admin is the only one who really has a say in the matter.
Also, even if the Admin were to check with the FiPG mods or an IPlookup site, and the IP matched or came back as matching their city, that doesn't eliminate the possibility that the IP originated from a proxy server, which is a violation of our TOS. Proxies can be reused, and maybe they were browsing the forum while looking at their sites (which I know I personally do). The IPs would still match. But, again, I don't have control over that, so you would need to discuss that with the YGF Admin.

Spamz? You mean the update emails that you agree to receiving when you sign up on the site?

"Parthman, IP's do reset when you restart. Why woul you restart it a few times a day. Especially when refs that share your ISP do the same offer you got banned doing while you had multiple accounts on another site."
I'm a bit of topic, as gator, you have a new issue, but wanted to comment. wink
If IP's changing is such a huge issue with YGF, then I wont be doing their sites, and must be up a creek with some other sites as well. I have dial up right now, and get booted off line frequently...everytime the phone rings. My comp sig stays the same though. Don't really understand what the big issue is when IP's change, even when I use DSL it changes some times, but as I said my computers sig is always the same. I found out just the other day that I often show I'm dialing out of Dallas, and that is 300 miles away from me...so if I have a referral who lives within 600 miles from me ie 300 miles in the other direction of Dallas, there is a good chance that our IP addresses can be the same at times
.
That really bites. I guess I'm very fortunate to have found a site that doesn't consider IP add conflicts are an issue to put a person on hold. OGF
As I said, hope everything worked out Parth, and others that seem to be fighting with YGF!

I'm not too happy with YGF either-
I had 3 refs (=$300), 2 that I traded with and one was my brother- i was waiting for my bro to green and when he did over the weekend when i was at his house-
i logged onto the YGF site and cashed out. was excited because i was SO depending on that money for my car payment that was due (
My account was put on hold for sharing IP's cry
i am a newbie so i didnt think logging onto another comp was a big deal- just as long as we didnt do offers on the same comp- which never happened.
but YGF admin basically said your on a perm hold and the case is closed- no defending yourself or trying to prove your innocence.
Now my brother doesnt want to touch the site thinking he will be scammed.
i was paid before by YGF and had no issues up until now. Now I cant even get a response to see if i am banned from all their sites-
but then i think...should i sign up for another one of their sites, i just may get screwed again- too bad they cant be more understanding to those who arent frauders and just made a mistake

Well you broke the rules. Duplicate ip = hold. Some companies will let it slide and some won't.

I understand- just would of been nice to prove myself and have a chance- seems like the owner is just rude and feels no guilt in taking an innocent single mothers earnings thats trying to find a way to make some extra money- but i cant because i am a newbie and made a mistake. so instead i loose money since i traded with 2 refs, and i wasted time trying cry
If i had known, i wouldnt of jeopordized my earnings- and i thought since we have different comps and live at different houses and that was the first and only time i used his comp that maybe he could of been nicer about it. i didnt do offers on any comp but my own- i was just anxious to cash out oops

@crouching tiger You know you quoted a post that was over 4 months old, right?
@want2work Sorry this happened to you. However, the rules don't state that you only go on hold when your IP matches another user AND you do offers; it only says you go on hold if your IP matches another user ... which happened when you logged into your account on your brother's computer (who happened to be one of your refs).
As long as it doesn't happen on the other sites, I think you would be fine to do them ... HOWEVER, I would strongly advise you to ask the admin for an answer, since I no longer work for him (despite what some may think ;)).
