COOL4FREE Is officially a scam (from one of the workers)

This was posted on a4f by Cool4FreeAleksey. I just thought I would let you guys know. I don't know but is anyone as pissed as I am?


[quote4ed8843f8c]Alright well you guys might remember me as Aleksey from Cool4Free support.. here is the story of this idiot's network.

First I got hired and was helping GC (Grafton Clark) with his sites, he doesn't know HTML, not even talking about PHP.. ok well, I answered support tickets, upgrades scripts, answering questions on over AIM. Added a "phone" field to the registeration form + order form, fixed mysql database and all templates. When a new version came out, I upgraded the script and make an installation sript that would add a phone field itself by default on install/upgrade. While helping him and doing all that stuff, I also hosted him as well. After couple of weeks he also hired Rob, known as Cool4Free Robert (if you see proof pictures you will see there are some thanks to rob for support). Me and rob fixed site layouts, added a network bar, Rob made the bar and I coded it and added to each site. Then me and Rob were working together on support, tickets, crediting and some other stuff, people started loving cool4free support. While me and Rob were doing all this stuff GC kept on leaving and coming back in like 3-4 days or a week so we never really saw him doing censored for his own network. He kept on saying he will pay us for our help me and me for hosting when he gets his next check, never did though... I finished two of his sites, phreepsps.com and phreeipods.com, I got gifts from there.. then I finished zens4free.com and he kept on delaying my prize.. later on his site got hacked and it took down my entire server down for a week. Then later on after we finally recovered the server he moved his sites without saying anything or paying us. To end the story short, he never paid for hosting or any help me and rob did for him. He also never sent me the zens4free.com prize which was worth around $450... I made support tickets and IMed him telling him about it but he told me he won't send me the gift and I can forget about it. censored this network guys it's a POS, I worked here and I'm telling you this is not worth bothering with. The owner is a complete nub who lack any web skills and has people doing censored for him and then scams them. I will also tell rob to agree with this if I find him.

How old is Grafton Clark?

Grafton Clark is his fathers name... C4F's owner is Grady Clark, who is a minor.

how do u know?

Oh well.

I lost 4 refs - it's alright though - It only cost me like $30 and I took the risk knowing it might not pull through.

i actually lost out on $600, $400 for my 9 phreelcds refs, and $200 for my 5 skate4free refs. So i want that bastard to payup )

$400 for 9 refs??

thats just under $45 for each ref......you can get LCD's for less than $400.

right, but the LCD he was offering for 8 refs was the Hyundai 19" L90D+ which is just about $390

how much was the one you were going for?

that was it, i requested approval and he denied 2 of my refs just to put me one under the needed since when i asked i was told one of them did nothing wrong but was put on hold because of a suspicion (sp?)

well thats bullshit....i would be pissed too.

but it does seem like you spent alot of money trying to get it when you vould've just spent that or saved it and went and bought one.

nah, i spent about 15 a ref for 5 refs, and traded for the others. But it seemed like a good deal to ebay something worth 390 that i got for 75..

you gonna be told to reduce the size of your sig btw.

oh and on your site (orderit4free), do you realise that on flashipods4free, you can get $250 for 5 refs, and you're offering $160 for 5 refs?

yup i realize that, im lowering refs soon, after i get my first check. Itll be more competetive, but right now i dont know if i will be able to afford it with the offers i have available. Look for much higher payouts in the next month or few weeks

ok cool, i knew you were lowering the refs soon, i just didnt know if you new what the competition was like or not.

yea flashipods is impossible to match, but i was thinking of becoming somewhat like carstuff4free if the owner tells me he comes up with a profit at all

EDIT does the sig look okay?

You should make it smaller.

done o.O

[quote660a52a560="kerms"]done o.O[/quote660a52a560]
) it's certainly smaller now.

lmao, wtf is that site... shock

Sorry to hear that....Prize Galleria seems to have gone the same route. They owed me $300...not a huge loss but still thats the second smaller network I've worked on (the other being PayPal), and I'm not too happy with the outcome.

Eh, I stick with Gratis, it's safer that way.

im waiting for my last green to go through on phreeipods.com.
if it does go through (the guy's being a douchebag), then maybe i'll get my ipod, maybe not.

lisighli
scammers make baby jesus cry.
