eroticgiveaways.com - My experience

[JMM]

I was contacted by a company that owns eroticgiveaways.com

The told me that for $500 a month I could get a text link that would give me 1000-2000 hits a day.

Seemed reasonable. I sent them via UPS overnight a check for $500.

After SEVERAL EMAILS and almost a FULL MONTH later, they finally put my link up.

In the one month that my link was up, I received less than 100 hits. That is NOT 100 hits a day, that is 100 hits for the entire month.

Just thought I would sure my experience with the rest of you.

[detoxed]

Thats shitty, were there many textlinks near yours? I wonder how many other people they tricked into doing that

[JMM]

My text link was top right. It was a very good spot.

[cash69]

haha he icq'd me to.. i almost got it.. but he came across like it was going to make me a TUN of money... if shit's to good to be true.. it is

[Thomas007]

You are right... -We tried it to.
It was scam... Money out of the window.

I don't want to spend time on it...
Sad we lost the money... Time to move on.

[netstarz]

I had to email the shithead to stop sending me emails. I finally looked at that site......... I would never even trade with a site that looked like that.

[The Dawg]

That same guy contacted me a while back feeding me that same line.... I did a little looking around and found out he didnt have any traffic at all. The site looked bad too. Just for kicks I asked him for proof of his traffic and he couldnt.

[Thomas007]

I just regret seeing myself cheated...

Saaaad... Damn

[Thomas007]

btw, we got some traffic from it...

Total raw hits: 2320

But it's not worth the price...

[LuiceDesign]

These Guys pestered us also. Showed us a 1 day server stat page and promised 75k hits per day of exit traffic. However, when we tried to verify nothing seemed to pass the "Smell Test"

Glad we passed on this one!!

[HairToStay]

A year or so ago they contacted me to be part of some big video giveaway -- all I had to do was advertise my giving away a 'free' video for whatever postage price I wanted, and I'd get tons and tons of new customers for my video business.

Sha, right.

After one month I sold about a dozen tapes at $8.95 and not a single person returned to purchase anything else. I had his link on 9 sites and if I got 1000 hits in a month, it was a lot.

I was told they had TONS of others participating, but when I checked, it was me and 3 others. When I pulled out, there was only one left.

They recently spammed me to participate and told them I'd happily participate if they signed a contract stating I was guaranteed X amount of traffic per day and if my logs did not reflect that, they'd owe ME money.

Funny, they never emailed back

[ItBurnsWhenIpee]

Those dumbfucks got a hold of my cell phone number and were bugging me. They must have sent me half a dozen e-mails and every time I responded saying I wasn't interested. If you scammers are reading this now, GO FUCK YOURSELVES!

[Va2k]

They called me several months ago tried to sell me thumbnails spots for 750.00 and 1500.00 for text links and promised me all this and that, then i said let me think about it next thing i know this dude was calling every day until I said i just bought traffic from sex.com he sounded pissed then hung up on him! GLAD I DID I fig it was too good to be true.

[sextoyking]

Hey Jmm,

good to see you around

yeh, they contacted me too some time ago.

I told them no thanks...

[hardjoko1]

I also got screwed by this guy. But we have something here:
167838445
His payment info is:
> >WIRE TRANSFER INFO:
> >Company: MYROCOM
> >SUNTRUST BANK, South Florida
> >4000 Hollywood Blvd, Ste. 115 So
> >Hollywood, Fl,
> >33021

> >1007 N. Federal Hwy,
> >Suite #94
> >Ft. Lauderdale, FL
> >33304
> >Att: Chris C - Owner/Head of Sales
> >Larry D - Head Webmaster

The administrative contact of eroticgiveaways.com is
11924 Forest Hill Blvd.
West Palm Beach,, FL 33414
US
Look at the zip. It's close. So, there is a good chance that the administrative contact is REAL.

Now Suing this guy might be expensive, we need only to know his real name. We need to supoena the bank. How do we do that? Do we need to do that before or after filing a small claim lawsuit? Should we do it together? We can get court experience, which is important. We can't avoid court, one day, we'll sue or get sued anyway. But if we try to sue this guy we had something small to practice with.

[hardjoko1]

Hi, everytime I mumble something about cop this guy reply back with excuse like they just come today in office and stuff.

Looks like this guy is affraid of cops. There is 3 strike law in Florida. This guy do not want to add his count.

What's the meaning of that's my 2 cents anyway?

[Chad/AEBN]

Wow! This assmunch tried the same thing on me about 8 months ago, wanting to do a mass link trade and I told him no. Thank God! Here is the ICQ number that i was talking to him with, I see it active every once in a while.

1044814907 - Bombs Away!

[Thomas007]

Let's wait a little with the court...

I got this from them today:

"
I am going to be clearly up this cloaking issue we are experiencing. Your link will stay on our site. When I do clear up this cloaking issue, then that is when we will begin your term on our site. Sorry for this.
"

But if they doesn't succed in it... Count me in for a court union.
Then we can also get that experience.

[playa]

holy shit guys i can't believe people was falling for that,,

[CX*]

They have been messaging me for over 2 years now. I have email addresses for all my different domains. the emails they used to contact me are some of my lowest trafficed sites. I cant imagine they want to trade or sell spots to the sites they sent the emails to... I asked them to give me more details about a week ago.. nothing... just "you get a text link on our site"

like someone posted earlier.. who would trade or pay for traffic from a site that looked like that?

[hardjoko1]

We're in deep shit. Not only the traffic is low, it is promoted through SPAM. This asshole is a spammer. The traffic is NOT worthless. It's DANGEROUS.

We got to destroy this guy before they destroy us.

The thing is if we put our email he could recoqnize who he should retaliate too send a lot of spam with our affiliate links. How do we stop that?

I am setting up yahoogroups to kill this guy. How in the earth he survive for 2 years without a website in google talk about it anyway.

[hardjoko1]

We can sue a john doe. Small claim court cost is $90.

ditto.. that site looks like a big pile a dung.

[Naughty]

Wow, they're still around?

They contacte dme a few years ago, like in 1999, I had to join their ring of traffic and receive a TON back. Needless to d\say that after sending them 10000s, we never 'made' it to their lists.

Assholes.

[Dirty F]

They kept on buggin me on icq and by mail...idiots.

[Vox]

Good to know, they sent me a price list back in February. I was just about to buy a text link, but something didn't feel right.

[detoxed]

If you guys paid $500 for a text link on their site for a month and they gave you a text link on their site for a month, its gonna be hard to do anything.

[hardjoko1]

If that's their defense is I would be glad. Because it wouldn't work. The guy explicitly claim that their website has 76K traffic per day and give estimate of 30K-60K per month.

Not to mention they lie about not spamming! They did SPAM. I have never had any relationship with them before they contacted me. I thought this was a mistake, so I ignore that fact. What about you guys? Did you have a relationship with them.

If they live outside US now that would be a tough defense. That means we can't nail him. In Florida people can get life sentences for stealing a box of cigarrete. Let's see if government is serious about this.

[hardjoko1]

Here is what he said to me about he is not spamming:

Well we do have payspots left, but our traffic numbers and quality
have gone up slighty, hence, the pricing for our traffic is a little
higher.


Not to sure by what you mean by the SPAMMING issue. My webmaster
gave me your email address, so you either posted it somewhere or you
might have been in touch with him at some point. He goes to ALL the
trade shows in Europe and USA.


Here is the pricing for our payspots, we only have 1 more THUMB PIC
SPOT though and a few more text link spots left:


TEXT LINK(30k-60k uniques Per MONTH) - $525 per MONTH


EXIT Test (80k/day, 36-48 hour test) - $650
Weekly price for EXIT traffic - $2750 Per Week


Thumb Pic(90k-129k/MONTH) - $1600 per MONTH
Thumb Pic " - $525 per WEEK
NOTE: THUMB PIC SPOT IS OUR "BEST" CONVERTING PAYSPOT



If you or your friend are interested, let me know. As you can guess
our spots fill quickly.

Any victim, please report them to this guy
https://www.ifccfbi.gov

I have. If there are many people that report, police will know. They don't screw people committing fraud for a mere $500, but if there is many victim, this is big business.

I already make my complaint, you could tell that to the with number I03050209073179

Also ftc.gov will also help.

The cops that live in Lauderdale (his PO Box and also his administrative contact of eroticgiveaways.com) is Bob Farrell
This is his email.

Because I send money via wire, he says that it is not his juridiction. If you guys send money via cheque than it would be his juridiction because his PO Box is Lauderdale.

I can't fight this guy alone please help. Maybe we can sue him in class action and get more money than we lost. That asshole must have some nice house, nice cars, nice daughters, etc :D

Some of you guys says he calls you? Wow, what's his phone number? Anyone know?

Also, eroticgiveaways.com redirect to 128.121.64.82. Who own this site? Perhaps his ISP?

SPAM cop.com instruct me to report the spam they send me to [email protected];[email protected]

Please give all info you can will you

[hardjoko1]

Bob Farrel email is [email protected]

If you feel you're being cheated, don't be pussy. Fight back.

[hardjoko1]

For you who sent via wire, this is what officer Bob says:
The phone number for Hollywood PD. is 954-967-4357. I don't think they have a web site. You can make a report by phoning them. You can also sue in Small Claims Court. If you look on the flpd.org web site under fraud there are instructions on how you file.

[hardjoko1]

This email is in regards to your inquiry about the location of an account holder. We show a US address for the referred account holder.

[will76]

[will76]

OLD bump, was just thinking about this.. anyone know who those idiots were or more importantly if they still posting around here ?
