Has Anyone Else Seen This Happening ?
Posted 11-06-2008 at 07:56 PM by pkinhawaii
We get New Members in here and we train them when we think they are ready we send them out to start doing offers and making money.
Then all of a sudden they quit, some of them because they can't get credit but I think more of them are quitting because of something that has been happening with these new offers that are burning people.
I had one that was doing real good till he was hit by one of the offers, he was using a debit card. By the time he knew what was happening they had already taken out so much that he had other things being returned for ins. funds.
They wiped him out, he started here to make a little money to keep him on his feet until he could get another job because he was laid off. He had a little money put back but thought this would help him until he could get another job. His first few trades were great , he was happy, getting paid, then bam, they got him.
When this happens the sites should pull the offer off. He had done this offer with another trader and even though I told him I would try to help him talk to the site to let them know, he said no, he would contact the other trader. The other trader (I don't even know who it was) would not even answer his PM's once he told them what had happened. He did let the site owner know what had happened and they said they would take care to see the site was taken off.
Well, I just read another thread yesterday that someone else had gotten burned from this same offer, and they were not the only one, there were lots of people commenting on that post . Why has it not been taken off ? Can someone please let me know why, if the offer does not live up to their end of the bargain why are these sites still keeping them on! This one I am talking about was either a 7 or 14 day trial. Before this man even got the product in the mail he was charged over $150 not once but 2X , when he did find out and called the company he got the normal "sorry we will refund your money in 10 to 20 days" They don't offer to pay you back for the fees that the bank charged you, or for the fees that were charged by the other companies that had gotten a ins.funds letter from the bank.
I really needed to vent about this and I would like to know if anyone else has lost referrals because of this. Something needs to be done about it!

I am fairly new and the same thing happened to me, I also used my debit card and 6 trials I have done gave me no credit on the site. The 6 trials charged my card over $900.00 and I'm still recovering. I also have been laid off from a job I've been in for years. I'm really upset and just don't trust any sites anymore. I've made no money here and have been ripped off pretty good.Posted 11-07-2008 at 11:43 PM by MaBarry

Has anyone suggest to FLR that a separate site page be posted that lists these rip-offs?!!!
New people are hurting too much to have even more people taking advantage of them.
We need a central place for all members to be able to check a list each day before doing busiess.
Only we can assure that our site and business stay 100% clean and functional for everyone.
May God continue to bless you and all of yours,

It is very frustrating. I also hate that a lot of people just throw newbies into trading without explaining the risks and precautions they need to take. Most traders say that it just scares people off, but I inform them of all these things if they pm me asking for a trade. I don't want their loss on my hands and conscience. Traders should make sure that their referrals learn which offers are good or bad (via offer discussion) and learn to fully read terms and conditions, and pay attention to their credit card accounts, etc. I recommend my referrals having one credit card they use for all their offers (and just their offers if they can).
I lost a lot of money because I did not get off on the right foot. I think we can't assume that our referrals know the risks, because honestly some people on here come here with their last dollar and have no idea.
The referral sites are trying to stay afloat, so I understand that they are pressured at both ends, trying to have enough offers to do but also trying to reduce problem offers. But there's always more they could do.
But most importantly, we need to LET OUR REFERRALS KNOW THE RISKS. This has been pointed out by many high level traders. You might be the only thing between this person and the tragedy/debt that could befall them. I'm still personally recovering from losses, and it's hard to gain enthuisiasm for this program, even when you know it works, when you suffer losses.
Let us all dedicate to not put turning a profit at the top of our priorities.
Sorry for such a long comment. :)Posted 11-09-2008 at 02:21 AM by furii

they got me too. they will charge your card under a different name and you dont know how to get in touch with them so you can prove you didnt make the charge so you cant get your money back. and the sights say they will halt your account for chargebacks. your right it feels good to vent about it. i have 4 boys to feed not some big company!!Posted 12-21-2008 at 08:29 PM by HFAMILY
