People get your money from this cancerous company and move on to Epoch, Verotel , CCBill, Vendo,etc.......

This company has been making excuses for 8 years, do a search here if you dont believe me.
And come on you know they spent your money on developing Redpass...lol

You are either unable to differentiate between fact and your own opinion or you deliberately make false statements to stir shit but either way it does as much damage to your credibility as it being revealed that you were closed down for illegal content did.

Why don't you go back to constantly spamming those hardlinks? You were actually good at that. :pimp

The money they (zombaio) have saved me over 6 years is worth a lil patience... no im not fool and they are on hold from sending them new biz but they have my rebills and patience for the moment- Maybe they will turn around and maybe they will not ( its favored they will with the $0 set up fee and low rates). --- What certain every negative post hurts any biller. SOO i appreciate your input on your Experience with verotel, BUTTT to make a firm statement like "Verotel do not pay" :/ lololololol - I think it was more of an issue with you at the time -- :pimp:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

3. Some webmasters claim to be owed reserve funds which have not been paid out as per Zombaio contract.
4.Zombaio has been vague and less than transparent throughout this.
5. Zombaio overall service would be considered bad and unsatisfactory
6. Some webmasters claim Zombaio has outright stolen funds from them

I am sure others can add to this list, this is the company you want people to have faith in and keep championing, why cuz they eventually might pay...God dammit dumbass that's what they are supposed to do, its not their money.

Look if you want to keep.cheerleading , grab your pom-poms, adjust your too-too, and start kicking that leg up and moving those hands, scream that chant " Go Zombaio you can do it, pay us when you can, we understand"

Next time do your research my account was close for having the word sleep in the title of two videos out of 40,000. It just so happened during a time I was publicly complaining about late pays.....hummm what a coincidence...lol

Guess what my payments come on time like clockwork now that I am not with Zombaio.
Did they cause me a loss in revenue-ABSOLUTELY

Why is that? Clearly this wasn't your first offense and you know it.

You even admitted it here on GFY in the original thread where you revealed that you had been canned when you say that "normally" you just remove the BRAM violation and everything is ok.

Here is the actual post for ease of reference.

https://gfy.com/showpost.php?p=19665433&postcount=23

My guess is that you used up the number of strikes that they allow.

Timing was unfortunate, but casually saying "normally" when talking about removing BRAM violations, doesn't sound to me like you were treating them as seriously as you should have been, so as I said, you only have yourself to blame...... but you knew that anyway. :2 cents:

The fuckwad from zombaio even posted in his thread asking what his account was so he could look into his late payout issue. It was the same day after showme69 emailed the twat that they conveniently closed his account.

What good is it doing by you ignoring the truth? All you are doing is making yourself look like a bigger twat then zambaio. Actually, your website makes you look just as dumb as your rhetoric on this forum.

have a great night! :)

I *THINK* that you are Beaner. Not only because you post the same tired old shit and try to engage exactly the same people as he did (with equal success), but also because neither of you can spell Zombaio.

I can't say that I *KNOW* this because I don't, I just think it. Understand now?

I know that many of you hide your sites and think that you are posting anonymously, but it really isn't the right way to go about things.

When I have a question, I ask Zombaio. If they don't give me a good enough answer, I ask it again and again until they do. As I have said before even if I lose all that they owe me, I will not be here whining about it. Nobody here cares just as nobody here would ask for me or anybody else to be paid before them.

while I'm with you that hysteria and the 'burn em at the stake' discourse doesn't serve much purpose, I'm really thankful that Zombaio webmasters have chosen to post their experiences throughout this payout delay, as without that basis of comparison it's difficult to ascertain how widespread or systemic the issue really is. One person isn't getting paid; it could be a check lost in the mail or an account glitch. A significant number of webmasters reporting the same issue indicates that the issue is deeper than that.

I doubt I'm the only one here who was able to minimize risk by arranging other processing options once it became clear that something pretty significant was going on. Those of us who did that were able to prepare because of the peeps posting here on gfy. In my case my payouts were arriving consistently in full and on time for far longer than others here, so without the gfy threads that gave me a head's up I would have been blindsided when the payouts did start to stall.

I'm not all that upset by payment delays, I don't live paycheck to paycheck so as long as there's a legit reason and a concerted effort on the part of the debtor to keep the lines of communication open then it's all good. On that tip, I've never had a bad experience in dealing with Zombaio support staff. Jesper et al. have been consistently great with me and I've never felt lied to or ignored.

My point though is that when a company's payout rate slows to a bare trickle, communication beyond what support staff can provide is vital. I'm far more concerned about the fact that it took months for the company to send out an official communique, and during that time Jesper, David and Michael were stuck fielding questions from webmasters on a case by case basis. Where were the higher-ups for all those months? It's not the place of support staff to release official company statements.

In the absence of any real attempt at communication by the higher-ups at Zombaio, I think that we zombaio webmasters were left on our own to compare experiences and sort through ideas. Sure there's also been a ton of useless drama posting as well but some real info has been shared here by those of us who actually care, those of us who are trying to figure out what's going on, those of us who are here to do more than just vent. your posts are definitely included in that.

While I have no romantic notions about communality on an online message board I definitely don't think we're all just isolated islands without any goals or concerns in common. What happens to other members of services we use should matter to us, if only selfishly because evidence of systemic issues increases the likelihood that those issues will effect others eventually as well.

while I really hope Zombaio survives this, if it does I think it will be in spite of itself. Between the radio silence for months and the occasional CEO statement with new deadlines that come and pass in silence, this saga really has been a tutorial on how NOT to handle a payout delay

I'm with those who do think that Zombaio is trying to fix the problem, that it's not some elaborate ruse to run a scam, but until things get sorted it's normal to be concerned, particularly as some have significant sums at risk. time will tell I guess. wishing everyone good luck in getting paid.

The entire zombaio operation is likely a 2 man operation. The writing has been on the wall for not months, but years.

People told real stories on this forum. I.e. I bitched about late payments and my account got canned. I.e. I transferred my site to someone and they never received any zombaio rebill money... I.e. they canned another account... I.e. they just put out a threatening letter saying anyone, with any infraction (bram etc) will have their account canned.

When people say... email all your members and tell them to chargeback MONTHS ago... it is to 1) end this nonsense and 2) try to get some of your members on new billing.

Do you know that it is VERY simple for zombaio to transfer recurring members to another biller? They won't because they are selfish pigs and want to drag this out till the last online sucker.

I can't speak with any knowledge to the rebill issue as I only process singular transactions. I don't disbelieve that some merchants haven't been paid out everything that they're owed, I just can't take that as gospel evidence of malfeasance as I'm not aware of all aspects of each story.

In the case of Bram words violations though, tbh if I was Zombaio I'd do the same. Yes some of the words on that list can be used in a ton of different contexts thus rendering much of the list comical*, but violations of that list come with fees and I don't blame Z for canceling BRAM violation accounts. In the case of ShowMe I suspect the BRAM violations were an excuse to bounce a webmaster in violation of cc rules who also complained publicly, but without those violations would he have been axed? None of us can know for sure so I can't really consider that evidence. I'm sorry that happened to him as no doubt the abrupt transition caused him a ton of stress, but is it evidence of a huge ruse on the part of Z? I can't say that with any confidence.

As far as enabling the ability for webmasters to transfer rebills to a different processor, yeah that would be the decent thing to do but their choice is not illegal. I really do feel for those who do use Z for rebills though. It was effortless for me to switch over (at least from a client payment perspective) to a new processor because I have none of the concerns vis a vis monthly repayment systems that many of you use. Still, Zombaio choosing not to implement a transfer service for merchants to move their rebills to a new option isn't evidence of a scam, but rather a company (perhaps shortsightedly) choosing a course more proprietary than would be prudent given the circumstances

as far as Zombaio being a two man operation, not disputing you there. Frankly I don't care how many principals are involved, the point is when ish gets dicey I want to hear from them. The support team -while incredibly helpful in my experience- is not a substitute for open and honest communication with those who actually run the company



^^^^back atcha, and agreed


*I do find it hilarious that the cc companies would fine me till kingdom come if I tried to sell a video with the description:

"after sleeping the night away I awoke from a perfect slumber to the tentacle-like fronds of my bedside fern waving in the breeze. I look out the window and get drunk on the beauty of a vibrant sunrise, unwilling to break gaze as the perfection of the moment slips over and smothers every worry and doubt that lurks, unconscious for the moment at least. I gaze into the sun and the vibrant colors that accompany it's rise. I finally slip out of bed feeling drugged by the beauty of that sky, hypnotized by its radiance. I hate that when I finish my morning Monster Zero I'll have to toss the can instead of recycling it. The lack of recycling facilities here violates my tenet of trying to minimize my eco-footprint on this beautiful land, and leaves me feeling incapacitated in pursuing that goal. Smothered by guilt I head for the gym. Time to get intoxicated on endorphins as I murder my cardio circuit. After that I'll piss myself off reading the morning paper. I wonder what's required to force people to think for a change instead of sedating themselves on soundbites? Shit, are people too tortured and tempted by stupidity, with the easy out of choosing not to analyze a vision these days to even hope for that? I remember back when I was a kid, underage, hating that I couldn't vote.

or in other words, my totally innocuous morning were it captured on film. yes I have too much time on my hands tonight but I'm in a cam show and my guy has left me to my own devices as he's fielded work calls for the past half an hour. It's either this or go for a swim until he's done and I don't feel like taking off my mascara.

"Dear Client, The transfer of the business to our new owners as previously announced happened as planned on November 1st. A couple of small reporting bugs were identified and have been resolved but other than that there were no major issues and most importantly no disruption in service. If anybody has noticed anything else in the new control panel that doesn''t seem right, or hasn''t been explained elsewhere, please open a support ticket. Immediately upon taking control, the first priority of the new ownership was to clear our outstanding Acquirer fines and penalties and restore the company''s good standing which has already been completed. This was essential in ensuring that we receive future settlements on time and without deduction and can in turn pay merchants on time. Most merchants have no idea of the huge fines and penalties that can be levied on processors due to mistakes or illegal content on websites they process for and it is fair to say that we as a business have received more than our fair share of these in recent times, eating into our reserves and ultimately causing the cash flow issues that led to where we are now. The first payment for current transactions will be sent out shortly after we receive it into our bank on the 24th November. This will be in respect of the 3 day first processing week 1st to 3rd November with settlement weeks thereafter running from Tuesday to Monday. For this first period, the payout information will not appear in ZOA until the day the settlement is actually created, however this will soon be changed so that the settlement is created and can be found in ZOA the day after the settlement period closes to make it clearer and create less confusion. As we have previously mentioned, and is customary when purchasing a business, Paynet will be releasing funds to clear outstanding balances to us in accordance with an agreed schedule and we will be using those funds to settle amounts owed in batches starting next week. Although we would like to be able to clear everybody at the same time, that is simply not possible the way the deal is structured but I re-iterate that it is our intention to resolve all accounts as soon as we can and ask for just a little more patience while we work through this. Again, as mentioned previously, a number of factors will be looked at when determining the order in which these settlements are made. These will include but not be limited to whether the amounts owed are new sales, re-bills or a mix, whether the merchant is actively sending new sales, whether the account is in good standing generally and whether all websites are free from compliance issues. Unfortunately, one of the things that original Zombaio did wrong with hindsight is that we set the barrier to working with us too low which created a lot of small merchants, with a lot of small payments, and in truth managing these accounts has quite often not been profitable. This is one of a few things that we will be looking at as we try to strengthen the business going forward. Paynet have already told us that they plan to be more selective about merchants and sites accepted going forward and have started a merchant evaluation exercise and compliance checking process as the first part of this. This does not mean that low volume, low value businesses will automatically be blanket removed, but it may mean that in some cases there will need to be changes made to certain aspects of the relationship but if necessary, these will be discussed on an individual basis and any account that needs to be renegotiated or is marked for closure will be allowed a reasonable time to make alternative arrangements. There is still a lot of work to do, but this will be a lot easier with our new stronger foundations, and I just want to give a huge THANKS to all merchant that have been understanding and supportive throughout what was a very difficult time. It really is appreciated. I cannot say this enough. Best regards, Tomas Anderson CEO"



So what does everyone think?

Another thing, why do all the girls sit in small dirty boxes and look extremely bored? Hope they are not being kept in those boxes against their will.

Mr big pimp, perhaps you should go and wake up your girls so your website doesn't continue violating BRAM rules.

Have a nice day :)

The fact that you don't see how wrong that is, shows people exactly what a fool you are.

Zombaio has three options for payouts. The ACH and wire options have ridiculous fees. Wire option always does, but not ACH. So they suggest RedPass (which is the same company I guess) - only $5. I sign up with RedPass and they want a recent utitility bill, my license or passport, and my cell number, in addition to everything else (name, address etc). I don't know this company and now they have all my identity info. Started a support ticket with them yesterday because their cell verification (sending an SMS) didn't work, no response yet.

So I can expect not to get paid, then?
