Will ZOMBAIO be the next ePassporte?
 

Yes or no?

All signs point to yes. I think they bet too heavily on replacing epassporte and Paxum won. Then the declining pay-for-porn market didn't help either.

90% chance they fold within a year.
50% chance within 3 months.

they should get into the bitcoin market where paxum also tried then chickened out.

From the very beginning they tried to compete on price. Charging the lowest %, waiving the startup fees everyone else was charging. There's a reason the cheapest car on the lot isn't usually the best choice.

Not surprisingly they attracted a lot of penny pinchers, under capitalized garbage and people who wanted to half-ass it with no cash layout to minimize risk cause they had no idea what they were doing.

So it looks to me like they got what they were after and their clients got what they paid for.

Pure speculation:

I think it's pretty unlikely they will survive the shitstorm that's going on right now, they are showing every sign of a company with serious cash flow issues, reducing personnel, delayed payouts, etc. You can bet any of their clients that have backup processing have switched to that and the ones that don't will spend the first $800 they can scrape together on CCbill or Epoch accounts - none of that is going to improve Zombaio's cash flow, and, as the lowest margin ISPS in the business there is little chance they can survive that, lower volume means higher CB rates across the whole portfolio, even less cash on hand (which already seems to be limited) deteriorating relationships with acquiring banks and higher processing fees.

Short of completely re-inventing their brand and re-capitalizing via some huge investment I would say they are walking dead right now. A lot of people can already tell, the writing is on the wall, and that's why they are doomed.

If they had been able to maintain appearances, keep payments going out, more plausible excuses for fuckups and not firing their main spokesperson etc. they might have been able to pull through but at this point, I don't think so. It's time for those middle men to rinse and repeat.

I am guessing they are just going to drive that truck till it's out of gas and ditch it on the side of the road with all aboard left to fend for themselves. The only ones who know how much gas is left is them and they are unlikely to comment accurately on that.

No I don't think they are gonna be the next epassporte cause they never had that kind of credibility but I think its the middle of the end for them. (the beginning was a while ago)

:2 cents:

no movie, no epassporte. See sig.

Who the fuck ? no, not even close

There is only one Mallick.

What if Michael O was really behind everything? His old nickname WAS KeyserSoze... hmm...

Imagine if Michael O IS Christopher Mallick

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:helpme:thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

There are news flashes going out across the industry - MichaelO is Mallick!..

If someone made a film about it you would say it was too far out there to be true.....

Oh wait...

Great idea for a movie... the guy that everybody feels bad for is the thief himself.

Mallick so fucked himself as a player in Hollywood. He could have done it so right. His own cock sucking wife divorced his ass.

Rumor has it he is trying to peddle some more movies. Grow Room for one.

He already has the domains secured.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Everybody posting NO to this poll is somebody waiting to get paid :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

FYI: It's not going to happen.

Post in here if you actually do get paid.

Zombaio it was (perhaps it still is) the most popular biller for cam models pesonal pages - the redpass card combo also popular. When offer was at 4%, every cam girl simply used it (unless western union).

Interesting results

Got paid. It sat in limbo for a week and a half....but got my money yesterday.

sadly yes

Got paid yesterday, thanks. :winkwink:

Is it completely up to date?

Who knows, maybe this thread helped some people. That's why I created it.

*shrugs*

there will always be "shills"...

As for us, we're now missing a complete months worth of checks...

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Yeah I'm good.


Ouch.. not cool.

You did?

Consider yourself lucky.

They are at least 4 weeks behind with us and no answers, just excuses.

We asked to get all rebill data so we can import it to another biller.

Support Jesper (whom I believe knows way more than he lets on) says "Open a ticket" and tech will handle it. No phone number or name for anyone in Tech, or accounting for that matter.

It's a fly-by-night operation, and it's finally catching up.

Get out while you can.

I'm trying to import zombaio members to ccbill

ccbill say.....: for just few users.....refund them and send them a ccbill link....

lol

I read there were a bunch of people trashing Zombaio and they don't even use them. Take what you read with a grain of salt.

Have you done that before? I didn't know it was possible to transfer a rebilling account of a customer from one biller to another? I'd be extremely interested in knowing if you can actually do this and how it pans out for you.

I'm surprised there's not a solvency requirement by VISA or acquiring banks that mandate PSP's can't touch funds that aren't theirs. If I process $10,000 and am being charged 10%, then $9,000 of that money should be off limits to every single person/company except me, regardless of whether or not they even go bankrupt. Their bankruptcy should be done on their own dime. Otherwise the temptation to literally steal the money under the guise of running the business is too great.

How do i sign up for the mallick movie

Shut the fuck up Butler. Stay the fuck out of my threads. Go hang out in the buy and sell and scam some more people for pennies, you mulatto piece of dog shit.

The payment delays has been caused by a change in the way our acquirer sends the settlements to us. The acquirers now have to settle transfers with a intermediate bank before transferring the funds to us, this due to new laws and regulations.

We didn't expect that the delay would affect us as much as it has and this has caused a delay with the payouts.

We do apologize for this delay and any inconvenience this may have caused you, we are working with the acquirers to resolve this delay and find a different method to clear the settlements and avoid this payout delay

What caused the 4 week information delay?

Good question, although it is nice to finally see some solid information and explanations from them. :2 cents:

too many pessimistic according the voteing

Indeed. :thumbsup

no idea, this was what they replied in my ticket today

I opened a new merchant account and stopped using Zombaio for new sales a year ago. I just have a couple of thousand dollars in monthly rebills still coming in from them.
So yeah...I saw the writing on the wall.

But having said that...I did get paid.

The fact that they are always late, and then I have issues for days trying to get the money to load on to my Redpass is why I moved new sales away from them.

I set them up originally for my type in traffic sales. It had built up to about ten grand or so when they started having all this trouble.

I don't want to wait for that money...So I went with Netbilling for all my new type in traffic sales. Now it's deposited in my bank account every day. Just like it should be.

I'm like you...I don't have the time or ability to wait for and chase after MY money. :)

Hope you get things resolved soon.

By the way, I'm an affiliate of your sites. Great job on those! :)

Sounds like it's time to get away form them. Hope everyone get's paid.

Anyone get paid today? I see some people here got paid yesterday. Wasn't paid yesterday or today (USA ACH).

Im still waiting for the payment that should be sent 7 weeks ago.

Yes, me too. But, when was your actual last payment sent?

Still no money from them. They're about 5 weeks behind now.

Been on w/ "chat support" Jesper several times this week. Same non-answers as always. "We're working on it, and we'll contact you when it's fixed. Should be soon, but not yet."

Also opened a "support ticket" last week (April 25th) to have our rebill data given to us so we can export it to another biller. No response to that and when Jesper is asked about it, he claims he has "directed it to the techs and they'll contact us". Still nothing. We're not going to hold our breath.

It's clear they are sinking faster than a South Korean Ferry full of schoolkids.

We've basically written off any hope of seeing another penny from them.

2 Christmas ago i thought zombaio was done...i was getting payouts about 6 weeks late but then they pulled out it and got back on track...I hope they can get straight again this time.

Wow!!! 7 weeks :Oh crap ouch

payment in motion.so known

I got my funds today. I hope they get back on track because I like their system.

2014-03-21. 8 weeks ago :/

Got my money today too.
