I have read through this thread for the last hour and a half and I have a few observations.

When I bought gallery sport through GTS, I was required to fax GTS, a copy of my drivers? license as well as a copy of the credit card I would be using to purchase the gallery spots. That was the policy, or so they said. Now, keep this in mind as you read through my observations.

1) If GTS, and it appears that they did, allow someone to buy 15K worth of traffic without a copy of the drivers? license and credit card used, then it?s their own fault they got ripped off.

2) If someone uses a credit card at any store (Wal-Mart, Best Buy, ect), to purchase 15k worth of goods, BIG, GIANT flags will go off in the persons head at the checkout line. They will call their manager and he will be calling the credit card company. If GTS, again, it appears that they did, took the credit card and NEVER checked it to be stolen, it?s their own fault.

3) When I bought my gallery spots from GTS, I went on vacation while the galleries were running. At the time, GTS was the ones who told me that my hosting company (at the time and NO it was NOT webair), decided to move my sites to another server. In the process of the move, a bunch of galleries got ?lost? and the traffic was redirected to my main page thanks to htaccess. GTS told me that the galleries were being redirected. I was on a cruse in Alaska at the time.

4) Apparently, now a day, GTS no longer monitors the galleries that they are sending traffic to.

5) When TMC sent GTS the server logs (and I assume he did since I have no reason to doubt him), The server logs would have shown a huge jump in traffic on the days that GTS was sending traffic to the galleries in question. Since the logs, (Again, I have no reason to doubt TMC) showed no jump in traffic. That to me, means the galleries were changed and the traffic did not go to TMC.

As far as I am concerned is GTS got screwed and it was their own fault. They took a 15k charge and never called the credit card company to see if the card was stolen.

IF, GTS was following the same policy I went through to buy gallery spots (fax a copy of my DL and CC), then they would be sitting on some evidence the FBI wants. Yea. I know. You can use Photoshop to make custom shit. Still, the point being?.

Im assuming that the person who used the card was a new customer to GTS. Why they did not call the credit card compant for 15k of charges is beyond me.

What I have learned is not to do any future business with GTS. When its all said and done, TMC could own GTS and a few of homes in this slanderfest. I was about to buy $1000 worth of gallery spots through them in Sept. Not any more.

I also noticed that the usual "bro's" have kept away from this thread. That tells you something about them.

My free observations.... No back to mindless threads...
