Curious Cash Communications & Non-payment
 

Has anyone heard from someone at Curious Cash recently? Or is anyone having problems being paid by Curious Cash?

After reviewing our stats a few weeks ago, we noticed that we were not paid out by Curious Cash when we should have been. Double checked our info in their system and all was correct. So we contacted them to find out what was going on. Heard back once, but it has been 5 weeks now and nothing.

- 2/25/09 Sent email to Curious Tim and used their contact form
- 2/25/09 Jesse responded to email sent to Curious Tim
- 2/25/09 replied back to Jesse
- 3/3/09 Forwarded reply to Jesse and Curious Tim
- 3/17/09 Forwarded reply to Jesse and Curious Tim again
- 3/24/09 Forwarded reply to Jesse and Curious Tim again

I Hate It When People Waste My Valuable Time !!! :-(
 

Ok, a report back from me as always.

After a thorough investigation it appears Jimmy (nicedreams) is a wanker.

Now, as an aside, CuriousTim has asked me many times over the years to not be so quick to reply to board posts until the real story is known, but he also knows that I ALWAYS respond and ALWAYS follow things up. That is the way it should be be in my mind, and how I have operated ALWAYS in my 10 years in this biz. Ask anyone who actually knows me.

So, the story is:
- Jimmy has contacted the CuriousCash office MANY times (but never me).
- We have endeavored to save this situation during those communications.
- Jimmy is claiming that he is still owed about $105 from since around 2002, which then adds up to his claim he should be paid.

I don't know about other programs, but CuriousCash only has to retain tax records for 5 years, and we have revamped the program more than a couple of times in the last 7 years (this is our 10th year out of interest).

One would think that 2009 is a little bit late for someone to start thinking about chasing $105.

We simply can't check payments that were made that far back, and I doubt many programs could.

I would of thought a good webmaster would of checked with us with in a MUCH smaller time span than letting things get out of control and then check 7+ years later for $105.

In fact CuriousCash did not implement MPA3 until around that time (2002/2003), so it is quite possible that IF the debt is in fact owed, IT IS WITH A CCBILL ACCOUNT.

So Jimmy, without seeming rude, you are a fucktard. Please feel free to take your traffic elsewhere.

Oh, and the village called, they want their idiot back, so off you go.

I fucking well hate it when idiots post shit over multiple boards in some vain hope that there own shortcomings will be ignored when discovered.

So Jimmy, consider this the official CuriousCash response to you, on EVERY board you posted on you numbnut, as I am not even going to bother sending you a email.

I spend my time HELPING affiliates who need help, not hand holding morons, and I ALWAYS respond and I ALWAYS help.

Jimmy, you fail, now fuck off.

Now anyone out here who thinks this is an unreasonable approach is welcome to add their 2c and I will be more than happy to respect their opinion so long as they are happy to respect mine.

I am sure there are a LOT of program peeps out there who KNOW only too well what it is like to have some idiot go running to the boards when a contact page gives people ALL they need to get onto people in any number of ways (FYI, and to save you having to find it to try and prove me wrong - http://www.curiouscash.com/contact.php).

Jimmy, a final word of advice - sometimes it is better to stay silent and be thought an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

End of Rant. And goodbye Jimmy.

7 years... thats kind of amazing. There are guys on here who can't remember the name of the girl they fucked last night, nevermind a payment that was owed from 7 years ago.

im still owed 22.50 from all advantage! WTF

Ha ha ha

Man, I made some coin from that back in the day ....

Memories .............

:thumbsup

WOW! Is this how you run your business? Name calling!

So your company only responds to requests directly to you only? Ok.
Of course you have, but you were unable to respond to any of them until my post.
I actually said 2004, read the emails again.
That's great! The sales only happened in 2006-2008 so you will be able to find those records and sales!
Its not a payment until you actually send money.
I would of thought a good company would have sent the payment out when they should have instead of making the affiliate ask for it. You know last year when our account went over $100, thats when you should have.
Its a MPA3 account.
Oh, thats nice.
Ohhhh, nice.
No shortcomings here, are you looking in the mirror again?
I wasn't expecting to receive an email. And my nuts aren't numb.
The language!
Of course the message sent through your contact form in your affiliate section doesn't count. And the multiple emails and forwards sent do not count either.
Maybe you should have taken your own advice first.
Wow, my mama always told me what people could do with that.

OH, and BTW! You should pick up yourself a copy of StatsRemote. It can read farther back into your system then you can apparently and get the stats that you can't seem to find. I loaded it up again today, and guess what, all those stats you can't find are there.

2006 - $73.45
2007 - $8.18
2008 - $21.57

So go ahead and explain to my wanker ass why I am in the wrong again? And why the name calling and language is an appropriate response from your company?

Jimmy

Goodbye Jimmy.

2c + 2c

Wait, this is all over $100?

I just made $100 while reading this thread. It's incredible how little this guys time is worth to be so argumentative over this.

A wise man once said to me, "Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience"

2c

Goodbye?

That's your answer?

Why aren't you going to pay to us?

Why can't you clearly see the sales we've made like we can?

Why weren't we paid out when we should have been?

Does your company condone the language you use to someone for no reason?

Why were all the emails unanswered for 5 weeks and yet we are still wrong for posting this post?

Jimmy

This doesn't make any sense to me. If you guys owe $100 from 2006, 2007 and 2008, and it shows in the stats are, why don't you guys just pay it already?

i just cant believe both side are in such a huff over $100. CTB, id pay him then ban his ass and call him an idiot. your post above was pretty harsh.

Bump for Curious Cash.

Jimmy

Some more details on the sales we had:

04/30/06 - $12.28
05/23/06 - $11.25
07/10/06 - $15.75
08/08/06 - $16.17
12/11/06 - $18.00
03/15/07 - $8.18
12/27/08 - $21.57

So it took about 2 years and 8 months to make their minumum payment with the final sale just 3 months ago. Which means we should have been paid out in January of this year. Can you not look that up either Curious Cash?

When I first questioned about a payment, for some reason Jesse only looked at the stats for 1/1/08 - 2/24/09 and returned with "This is from 1st Jan 2008 until now. You have not yet reached the $100 minimum." And I responded, "Thanks for the response. You are not including our previous sales. We have been promoting your sites since 2004. I show we went over $100 last year and now at $103.20". And that's when the ignoring of the emails started.

I'm not sure why they aren't able to look at stats before 1/1/08. I can do it right now in their admin and go back to 1/1/05.

So again, Curious Cash, why aren't you paying our company?

Why do you go from name calling to ignoring?

Do you want me to post the screencaps of StatsRemote and *your admin section* for you so you can see the sales?

Jimmy

Bump...

You can keep spinning it if you want, but its pretty clear that owe the man some money. You may think he's a nuisance, but is this really the rep you want to create for your program?

wow
Thats an answer that really makes me pissed.
You must feel very good slamming an affiliate like this around cause it is only about 100$

If you do not respect the smalls ones, your not worth the big ones :)

Pay the man his money and safe yourself a VS thread :) We all know how last year the shit went from bad to worse with them... And they did paid up at the end

Any idea how many small webmasters this read?

Men o men...What a fiasco!!

A wise man told me ones, if you don't respect the small coins, how the hell would you be able to handle the bigger ones...
Spin how you want, you owe the guy some cash and your time is way to valuable for this... LOL.... who is a wanker here now?

Did the guy fraud? NO
Did he spammed? NO

Did he made his money on a fair way?

YES

I bump this thread for the rest of 2009

oh ... ok ... wow ... you must be a big baller ... doesnt matter how big baller you think you are you are running program and you have some terms, hope there is also the payment and you will look like an idiot ... and you look like one, cause your answer mr curious toy boy is one of the fucked and dishonest one i ever read at gfy ... with all respect, this is really fucked up!

ummm, no, probably more like lost 120 spending time reading this and 30 other threads instead of working :pimp

Should I should call out CCBill? They still have like $75 from 2006ish and their fax line is down so I can't send a change of address form.

bump for lame aff program

Bump for a wanker who is not respecting the small webmaster

Attention to everyone, BUMP this
Otherwise other programs will do the same anal trick

It sure takes talent to make a thread about having some trouble contacting your company into a thread that makes your company look unprofessional with a disregard for affiliate's privacy and struggling for excuses to get out of a $100 payment.

Curious here...

Is this wanker in the hall of fame, can he make threads go away
Will see in time

Wow... Funny how a program has a terms of service and are not sticking to it. You should sue them in small claims court just for the fuck of it.. Then someone will have to come down and testify and they will spend more than $100 to do so. If they don't send anyone on their behalf, you get a default judgment. Now if the program tries to use credit to pay for shit, they get denied over $100...

The solutions are so simple they almost write themselves!

Can't afford the small claims filing fee? Leave your Epassporte username and I am sure people will donate $5 each to a funny and laughable cause just so they can watch the drama lama rear its ugly head a bit longer.

BUMP


Me toke the freedom to post this elsewhere also

this is the reason why i stay on the nutts of one program out there :thumbsup i know i will get paid no matter how much traffic i send. If the man made that money then he should be paid that money :2 cents: If people arent wanting to pay money to those who send them traffic, then stop fucking people over and shut down your pay program and go get yourself another job

Bump for the small earners who are being crushed by stupid arguments

CTB, you look like the bigger asshole here. And all over $100. :1orglaugh

Take your own advice about opening your mouth and looking stupid.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:disgust

When you think you can set new rules in this industry, you are very very very wrong.
And your replay makes many people their skin crawl.
Is it worth it for that kind of money to destroy your reputation?

this is shitty indeed

what the fuck is going on here? :1orglaugh

That sure could have been handled better by CuriousCash.

Calling webmasters a moron and bailing out of this thread?
Need some advice in affiliate marketing CTB?

Call me a moron and you make me a winner. :1orglaugh

CTB's reply is bizarre to say the least. Sounds like they hurting for cash. :2 cents:

I'm sure I have several sponsors I haven't hit the minimum payout for in a couple of years. This rep's reply speaks volumes about the kind of operation they are running. The arm chair psychologist in me says this guy is suffering from a severe case of small penis syndrome to issue that reply.

Must be something is he's willing to look like an imbecile over $100.

hmmm ....... bad reply here from CTB

This pisses me off too.. We are another affiliate that sends small amounts of traffic and sales to over 2,000 paysites, and sometimes it takes us a long time to reach the minimum payouts.

Is your program's stance that we're not worth your time? Let me know!

Whats the definition of a moron?

http://www.curioustoyboy.com/images/main-pic.jpg

Oohh its CTB himself....
http://www.curioustoyboy.com/ He calls himself an adult webmaster....

Go fuck myself, thats just to much credit

Maybe CTB didn't show great tact in his reply, but many of you jumping all over him have no idea who he is, or what he has done over the years. Give him some time to reply to the thread and try to rectify the situation. The bandwagoning on this forum gets so old at times. :2 cents:
