With all the talk of scammers I think I might have been scammed but not sure. I had a newbie contact me and wanted to do my Trainn site. I asked questions, offered to send instructions on doing sites and using firfox, etc. He said he was all set on that and knew how to do cookies, etc. He did the site and greened, all appeared ok so I paid. The problem is I explained all about the trade manager and going to do feedback as that is how we get our TR number. I have pm'd him several times and no reply. He has been back on the forum several times, even today but still ignores my pm's. He is still an itr0 which you would think he would want the trade added. I checked on all his posts and it appears he may have two threads going. Is there anything that I can do, or just consider I got an education?
Thanks

I am not sure if you got scammed or not, but I could add that it is not wise to pay on green on a trainn site if they have no TR.
The best is to pay on approval if they have no TR.
I hope you get it approved and get your feedback.

MOD EDIT: Ken this should have been sent by PM. Could be seen as self promotion.

Think it's near the top of the 4th page.

Hi Ken, you did give me all your copy/pastes and I have saved them, so should go look. It was my Trainn site so I don't get paid until I have 6 referrals. I just checked the site and he has not gone red. As long as he does not go red I am good but would like the TR and I would think he would too.
Thanks for the reply!

Thank you, I do have a question on the Trainn site, when it is best to pay on approval can you tell me what that process involves. I checked the site tonight and he has not gone red, so that is good.
I would think he would like his TR number also.

[aries07]

I pay on approval if they have a TR lower than 3 or they must do 2 other sites with me 1st.
I think although it shows green, they only verify their accounts once you place the order.
Then only will you know if they are green for good. As far as paying on approval, I let them know that once their account is approved, I will pay them. Trainn sites only pay out on Saturdays and Wednesdays. I am not sure how long it takes to verify accounts, so far all my trainn refs have had higher TRS or have done at least 2 trades with me. Once you get paid, then you know its safe and all are green for sure.
I had one ref today with a zero TR and I told him/her that I will pay on approval, they were ok with that.

Thank you, that helps, so here is my confusion, can we only place an order when we get to the number of referrals for our prize?

[aries07]

Yes, you can only place your order once you have your 6 refs, and then they verify all ref accounts and if all is good, you get paid. Either Saturdays or Wednesdays.
I am not sure if you can ask to pre approve a ref...maybe you can post this question on the train site forum.

Thank you so much!

You are welcome!

I found this on the trainn site forum,

• When will my account be approved?
  • I know it says "typically 2-4 days" but it ALWAYS takes 4. In my time with TraInn I have NEVER even heard of an account being approved in less than 4 days.
  • They usually approve accounts around 7pm PST,8pm MST,9pm CST, and 10pm EST
  • On the left is the day you submit and on the right is the day you will be approved:

Sunday------>Thursday
Monday------>Friday
Tuesday------>Saturday
Wednesday----->Sunday
Thursday-------->Monday
Friday----------->Tuesday
Saturday-------->Wednesday
