call me paranoic but now they arent taking anymore joins

but what IF they cant process anymore because of banking problems ???


and this is theor way to say BYE BYE


think about it no payments since the 22th without telling anyone the very next day that they found the problem


and if it wasnt for this thread they will never say anything

out of no where they sent a message that they are having problems with MC

and now they dont process joins


call me paranoic but dude this smell like straight fish :2 cents:


i just hope that on monday ill need to say IM SORRY ZOMBAIO MY BAD AND I TAKE BACK ALL THAT I SAID AND YOU GUYS ROCK BUT SO FAR everything looks bad:2 cents:

recurring joins are fine, it's new joins that say " communication error "

look smart ass they stop sending wires before the 22th and according to em they wont be sending anything out till the 7th

are you telling me that their bank will be closed for 17 DAYS ???? COME ON BOY USE IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE THAN WEAR A HAT

Valid points. I have no skin in this game BUT after reading thru it my thoughts are that they wouldn't have announced a fee increase and a holdback if they were already planning on running off with people's money.

Best of luck to all.

WHACKA FLACKA?????? What THE FUCK??????? So inside my admin I am showing a payout coming JAN 3rd, does this mean that payout will not hit until after the 6th????

Say it ain't so god damnit! You don't need someone like me hounding you and your company for my MONEY!

FURTHERMORE YOU SHOULD FIND A WAY TO CONVINCE MYSELF AND THE REST OF US THAT YOUR PAYCHECK IS ALSO DELAYED THOMAS, AS WELL AS THE CHECK OF YOUR EMPLOYEES OR EMPLOYEE IF ITS JUST ONE OF YOU.

PLEASE CONVINCE ME THAT YOU DID NOT GET A PAYCHECK THIS WEEK...THANKYOU i WILL BE WAITING

people said the exact same things about epass.

Wire 2010-12-23 2011-01-06 $xx,xxx.xx $-0.00 $0.00 $xx,xxx.xx Payout sent for clearing (Late)

since i get my payouts daily the one of 6th of january is the last one that will be late according to em

still no new joins being accepted :x

Any body else reporting no new joins being accepted, or just the two posters?

I don't have any skin in the game (to use a quote from above) but I'm curious about the Zombaio situation. This industry doesn't need another epic fail from an IPSP.

they have something wrong with their script, similar to last night. all joins are declined due to communication error, so i presume its software or hardware fault

recurring is fine so I dont think it's issue with bank

well im getting joins just losing a few because of that comunication error

I don't want to "pile on" on the Zombaio issue but there seems to be a string of pretty odd issues cropping up with them over the last month.

The wire issue is very odd. I can understand having a corrupt payment file that caused wires to fail, but the continued delay doesn't make sense. Despite the information to the contrary here, E.U. banks don't entirely shut down a week before Xmas until a week after New Years....not in the new electronic frontier and especially not their wire rooms. An international wire shouldn't take more than 3 - 4 days (MAX) to get from bank A to bank B.

This, in conjunction with other recent issues (increased reserve amounts and length of hold, increased fees, et al) and now a communications issue causing only new joins to fail paints a troubling picture.

people said to trust them.

the best thing they can do is start paying again, people will quickly forget this

oh and use some of the money from increased rates to get some real support, been having this issue for about 5 hours, lost tons of money

Tomas did mention that they would be increasing staff...

my thoughts on this zombaio crisis...make no mistake they have a crisis on their hands, adult webmasters use your discernment and common sense...

I am not speaking from a posture of sympathy for any processing companies, I am qualified to speak as an advocate for transparent processing and accounting for all who utilize companies like zombaio

As someone who has been ripped off, and robbed by banks,multiple processing companies, and the like to the tune of tens of thousands I have yet to have any one of the "company reps or spokesman" answer this.....

How is it that someone I know very well has worked for the government for 14 years, and has had direct deposit as well as paper check payments, and in 14 years not a nickel short or a day late????

Never had he had an excuse,delay or complication with pay checks, direct deposit, or missing hours in 14 + years!

Simply never happened and that is a huge statement considering the ineptitude of the government that many of us are aware of.

We are talking 14 years, and in this business some companies cannot go 14 days without a payout glitch or error.

So I ask why is it in this business do you have a wide variety of excuses, delays,contradictions, half answers, when it comes to payouts???

Why do you Zombaio and others, feign like you have some monopoly on reason and no one else but you guys can understand the COMPLICATED NATURE of credit card processing!

You would have me believe that the government understands that there is ZERO tolerance for payout chicanery, but in the adult business its to be accepted as typical.

If there were some IMMEDIATE and DIRE consequences for fucking with peoples money ....then maybe payout integrity would become top priority for companies positioned like Zombaio and others

Hey I speak for myself, and not the rest of the adult community, I simply find payout shorts,delays,glitches to be unacceptable ever....PERIOD

The government works with banks, and financial institutions, and can pay over 5 million employees on time fatihfully week in and week out!

How dare you act like you and your company is beyond reproach and should be afforded some credit for making most and not all of your payments on time.

You do not get brownie points for doing what we pay you to do. You get brownie points when you go above and beyond what we pay you to do!

This is a fact.... you guys produce nothing,create nothing,and exist in a sense as a parasite....meaning your business model can only survive by inserting yourself between us (webmasters) and our customers as "MONEY CHANGERS"

When the time comes where we can eliminate the need for you guys, and collect our customers funds ourselves, you will no longer have such a business model.

Without the ability to VERIFY in real time, what happens with our surfers when they leave our tour pages, to submit their credit card details on your servers, we are at your mercy.

When your answers to direct questions get vague and elusive, when you slowly reduce service, and raise fees after explosive growth, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth of those who see you guys for what you are.

You are not immortal, not beyond being challenged and held to task.

Far too many pseudo bankers and processing company reps have sipped the kool laid and feel that they are so brilliant and powerful that they can exist without their clients, and talk and treat the clients, as their servants.

Sickening backwards logic to talk with disdain to the one who pays your salary.

It really is a mental illness, and I encounter the combined arrogance and ignorance quite often when talking to members of the banking community.

This guy is behind gfprofits?

I wouldn't get over excited about sales numbers from content thieves.

?

why are you talking about gfprofits? im sorry but i dont get it

gfprofits still going? thought they were done. nice sales numbers anyway.

Yes, I see a few "communication error" in my declined transactions.

I've not had a single sign up since 7pm, its now 3am, and all my joins have been declined due to communication error :)

Just got a signup now, maybe it's been fixed

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thum bsup

All the "communication error" transactions have disappeared from my account...

I got told today that my wires for 27th and 3rd of january SHOULD hit my account on the 4th of january

I hope so. Those are the two I'm waiting on too.

the question here is who told you that ?

cuz according to ZOA they wont release any wires out before the 6th

support told me, i asked for a timeframe for my specific invoices

if they told you that great !!!


they told me last thursday and so far nothing


lets hope that the one that spoke with you was right


:2 cents:

Did Zombaio Thomas ever come in and answer the question whether him and his staff are waiting for their paycheck also. I mean that is a question that we all would like to know.

WHen was the last paycheck you guys received as employees of zombaio???

Will bump this thread all day if I have to.

When was your last paycheck received?

Good question

Also one thought came to me about this fiasco.... if Zombaio wants to pass the buck and blame the bank for the mix up...(corrupted swift file) how about pressing them for contact info of the bank who is holding the funds, and lets place calls to the bank and verify "zombaio's account" of what happened.

Remember there are two sides to every story, and no one in the world of processing should be taken at their word for anything ever.... not at the rate we as merchants are getting burned every time you turn around....Ibill,paymonde,ecommerceglobal,epassport e,zombaio... and many others I am sure

demand the banks contact info, and lets verify the story? Sound plausible?

Don't tell me I should just trust his word either cause he seemed friendly at the avn expo or some silly shit.

They work for us, and none of us should let them forget it. Accept no B.S. from them, this is our livelihood and finances they are playing fast and loose with!

With all due respect...I don't think any bank in the world is going to take your call and give you any banking information at all about any client. If they did...I would drop that bank in an instant. But since I'm pretty sure it's illegal, I don't think they would.

I hear what you are saying, but even still, you don't think hundreds of calls to the bank without getting specific account info...the question could still be presented to the bank as follows.....

"Good day Madame/Sir are you aware of any type of Swift file corruption that would cause week long delays in funds being forwarded to their respective destinations"

Its a general question because I have been expecting to be paid by one of your account holders and I am being given a reason that I would just like some verification of....

Without getting specific is there any way a corrupted swift file could delay for at least a week.

The bank could respond and say yeah I can forsee a corrupted swift file causing delays as such...or they could say, not really a corrupted swift file is an easy fix and should not cause delays beyond 24 hours

Maybe you are right about them not being specific, but in america you are well within your right to question the god almighty bank / or company reps!

I know we are losing rights every day, but while you still have "limited" free speech, you should exercise it especially in a situation like this!

There is no crime in seeking more vivid understanding and seeking clarity when there are delayed transactions effecting your livelihood. Do not expect the bank or processing company to become sherlock holmes for you, you must do your own detective work

Anyone who half answers, or offers vague elusive answers to direct questions regarding your finances, is not interested in helping you get to the truth about whats causing your funds to be held up.

and by the way, has anyone from zombaio been paid this past friday going into the new year???

Not my adult colleagues who use Zombaio, I respectfully ask an employee of zombaio to come in and signify that they did not get paid on new years eve and are still waiting for their paycheck as well.

Either you did get paid as zombaio employees or you didn't and are waiting with baited breath like the rest of us

word :2 cents:

to be honest with you guys theres fuck all you can really do exept pull out the tactical nukes by the end of biz on the 7th if the payments dont arive as promised. Im a sceptic too...but wtf.... meanwhile.... Split your risk and hang in there for a week is all anyone can do at this unless you feel like a trip to Sweden with a moneybag. Keep bumping becuase if nothing else it will keep CCBill, Epoch and Co amused for a week.

On the other note the connnection errors seems like hardware load issues and probably the reason they are scrambling to upgrade right now. Plan ahead people plan ahead!.............

So no point in asking right, we should just take them at their word, and let it work itself out.

Good plan....maybe there is nothing to worry about.

Its normal and typical for payments to get delayed, reserves to be implemented,fees to be raised,sign up errors...all in one fell swoop.

"nah we don't need to ask no bank no stinking questions" its illegal to ask questions....LOL

Assuming that absolutely nothing is wrong other than what they've admitted to, they've still handled this very poorly. If you miss payments to your clients, you damn well need to be in touch with them, and not simply in response to a thread here.

Although they may benefit from it, I would hope that CCBill and Epoch aren't "amused" things like this make it harder not easier to operate in this space. Look at SwirGrl's legitimate rant. Is there anyone on here who has a good opinion of my industry sector? No.

It's not like that. The bank can't legally give out any information on it's clients. Would you want your bank to give out any info on you?

There is nobody to ask questions of. I've asked Zombaio what I wanted to know in the support section. I got the same answers as everyone else. Now it comes down to: They are either telling the truth and everyone will get paid...or they lied and we're all screwed.

It's gonna become clear within the next week. One way or another. And nothing you or I do or ask is gonna change what's already happened. We are just going to have to wait to find out. I hate it, but unless somebody here has magical powers...there's really nothing else to do.
