I was partnered on what for me was a pretty large media buy around $5000 last winter with a sponsor here on GFY. This is the offer I was extended. Two months running. The first month it was promised would come through next month, when it didn't the month after that they promised things would carry over the next month. Fuck off. Their members area traffic was way overvalued, and they never carried through anywhere near the level of traffic the promised would be delivered. I was a bit of a rookie when it came to buys and got screwed with some trickery outlined in the I/O slip. Turned into a giant fucking joke. If they had delivered the traffic promised, and lived up to their "guarantee" my partner and I would have done very well on the campaign and continued dealing with them. Instead the "guarantee" turned out to be a fat crock of shit intended to get us to sign the orders. We basically got fucked, and luckily squeaked out at a minimal loss. Take note, if you're doing a buy, make sure absolutely everything discussed is plotted out on the I/O papers and signed. Either way, that's about all the guarantee you're going to get around here...
