**klaze** · 09-11-2008, 02:23 PM

You sent them an e-mail and icq at the same time or before posting this thread right?

DatingGold is pretty big. I'd be really surprised if this wasn't just a slight delay and screw up. I wouldn't be too worried. Talk to Allan he'll let you know what's up.

**Rankings** · 09-11-2008, 02:25 PM

DatingGold is a very respectable company and I dont feel anyone should have any doubts on getting paid. They are strong and will come thru!

just to keep it fair and balanced i know a number of people who datinggold has just randomly decided not to pay for silly reasons

and after enough complaining some of them finally did get paid

so this delay on payment doesn't seem like an isolated event

i'm not being dishonest or a jerk i'm just being truthful

Did you try and contact the employees on icq since they are on almost 24-7 before making this post?

what do checks/wires have to do with epass?

just wondering

Haha, thanks for the thread.

We posted there as proactive approach.
Epassporte was closed for the long holidays.

I believe this was paid out ON TIME, but I posted that message just in case we had to have a delay.

I was pretty sure affiliates would APPRECIATE the fact that we are active on that.

But I guess I was wrong.

If you do have problems with your payments etc, our contact us page is avaialble and I don't think we are hiding from anyone.

**BAKO** · 09-11-2008, 02:30 PM

On My payment history i dont see the last payout but I did get my check few days ago

Thanks Shap.

Sometimes you posted something on your news section as precaution and it fired back to you.

We can't make everyone happy I guess.

Your account was on hold in our accounting department for suspected fraud. DatingGold only holds payments if we suspect fraud as it is a very common occurrence.

As much as it may suck for .1% of affiliate's its just something we cannot avoid.

We formally apologize for the inconvenience and I'm truly suprised that you were not able to contact us because that is unheard of with DatingGold.

Your payment will be expedited via courier, we will contact you to discuss future traffic options.

When our bank is closed they are closed and we don't receive the wires sent until they are open again. The problem can be solved by sending the wire a couple of days early since all b2ps and p2ps are working even if our bank and offices are closed.
If you don't receive notification in advance of bank holidays please email me your business account UserID to [email protected]

Thanks

dating gold support is the best support in the industry.

**koin** · 09-15-2008, 03:26 AM

i don't suggest that ANYONE fuck with datinggold

they offer way too much on free sign-ups (4.50 or something ridiculous like that)

and then they assume everyone will naturally convert amazingly, which isn't ALWAYS the case.

ANY adult sponsor will tell you bad things about dating gold, any reputable affiliate program knows that DG is a joke and will tell you the same. i've met at least 5 people who told me not to mess with DG and i did it anyway.

then, to counter their stupid false advertisement, they claim they're investigating you for fraud so they don't have to pay you- that OR they'll claim you were spamming and violating can-spam

i highly suggest staying FAR away from dating gold.

brandon, what you consider traffic, i consider garbage that i'd sell for little to no profit.

lets step back a few months when you were asking everyone for a "spammer" because you had a "good converting mail campaign that won't get termed" - haha.

i won't mention how many bridges you've burned in the past 2 weeks with the only professional people you've ever dealt with.

i dont mean to take it out on you guys, i really dont, but when you go telling me what i can and cant do it enrages me.

ive always had the "you arent going to tell me what to do" attitude, now granted, that might have worked as much against me as it has for me, but im far to old to even consider changing now.

in a nutshell, ive said and done a few things of recent that im not proud of. i am not going to say i am sorry, as i am not sorry, but i am more ashamed.

if you decide to hate me for it, i understand. im set in my ways as well and am fast to hold a grudge.

with that, ill be taking an internet break and spending some time with the fam. i am just as ashamed with some of my actions towards them as i am with you guys. figure ill start there.

Hi all, just wanted to know if anyone is having similar problem with datinggold.com.

I signed-up with DatingGold a few weeks back and I have bought some traffic for $150 so far. I have earned $150 in return in the last payout cycle. Just on the day, their payout was scheduled, I tried to login to my account to check my payment status and I got some sign-in errors. I tried continuously but the error still persisted. So I emailed AK about the problem, but got a reply that Indians are not allowed into the program and they have blocked my account and I haven't received my payout.

When I emailed AK, asking him to confirm my personal info, AK replied my email with the following quote:

But the irony is that, some people from India got their DatingGold Checks already like forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=295310&highlight=datinggold"]here :confused:

So, I wonder if they have changed their terms just at the time of new payouts.

Or else they are trying to scam few random affiliates like forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=280193&highlight=datinggold"]here?

Please let us know if anyone else is having similar problem with datinggold.com, Thanks.

Originally posted by bnts

You are right. What really pissed me off is that they allow to select India or any other of the "oh so listed in banned countries list" when you sign up.

Another thing which took me to wonder seriously if DatingGold.com is indeed scamming is that AK didn't inform me that Indians are not allowed when I emailed him about my Payment Option problem a few days after I signed up at DatingGold, inspite of the fact that I clearly mentioned there that I am from India and I would like to change my payment option from check to epassporte . He simply asked me to send my epassporte account details and added up there in my account info. Only when the time of first payout came (that was after about 10-12 days of great work since my first email), my account was blocked saying that Indians are not allowed

They are very unprofessional in their approach. I left them one year ago. The affiliate manager just ignores you usually if they cannot answer a question. I went back to them with a different id on icq, I got replies instantly but when I told him I was the same person they went back to no replying. Absolutely horrible approach towards affiliates. Nothing can match adult friend finder in the dating industry I feel.

Originally posted by zappy

That AK from datinggold is the worst affiliate manager i have ever seen.. they follow this policy strictly : Do not respond if they have any issue with affiliates..

That AK a****** has forwarded my email to another prick in their office quoting that i'm not going to respond his continuous emails, so you take care..

Code:

We are currently looking into this.  It also appears that you are from a
country that is on our banned list.  You can see this in our terms.  You
should of sent us an email prior to promotion or read the terms before
signing up as an affiliate.

That's what I did but they simply didn't tell me about the policy until the payout date :rolleyes:

granted, they'll claim that their terms of service doesn't allow india sign ups...but explain why he was able to find another guy who got paid, and explain why the "AFFILIATE MANAGER" didn't decline his payment until pay day?

sounds like professionals to me. < / sarcasm >

AK · 09-15-2008, 03:37 PM

oh great... lol.

i think, we do have 2 or 3 Indian affiliates who are legit, which is why I tried to help the best i can.

But when it comes to FRAUD, we will have to follow our policy.

I think this thread will teach me a lesson to be MORE CAREFUL and MORE STRICT on foreign affiliates.

Thank you.

foreign traffic is besides the point, you're a manager, you're supposed to monitor and manage. you're going to tell me you can't watch everyone...hire more managers.

not really sure why you're laughing, these are serious claims people are making.

foreign traffic is fine, we still pay on them when it's legit.
foreign affiliates is another story.

do you actually know how many affiliates we have from foreign that is creating bunch of their own leads? you have no idea

oh yeah sorry about not having enough managers so we can take care of more foreign affiliates.

we are trying to hire more managers so we can take care good affiliates.
if people are making serious claims, i promise to respond better then.

can we hire you?
please send me your real info to me so we can consider you to fix our issue with fraud affiliates.

I deal with pretty much every dating sponsor in the business.

I've been dealing with Dating Gold for about 5 years now. Can you trust Dating Gold? Is it a solid business? YES and YES.

I've never had a payment problem with them, nor will I ever.

I'm also a little irritated by the treatment AK has received in this thread. This man works his ass off and imo defines professionalism and energy.

DG is as solid and reputable as they come.

**koin** · 09-15-2008, 05:16 PM

that's all great, but when i see 5-10 random people (found through GOOGLE) that all seem to say the SAME exact thing, it gives me an uneasy feeling.

everyone is entitled to their opinion, but i just find it very hard to swallow that all those people are "foreign/fraud"

i personally have been ignored a number of times when trying to contact AK, then when he does respond it's only after half way making a fool of myself for a response.

i'm sure they don't screw with everyone, but it's become apparent that anyone sending considerable traffic which ends up not converting as nicely as they'd hope, they screw over. if the conversions are great, i'm sure they have no problem paying up.

there's a reason they're pretty much the only ones in the industry offering such high payments for free sign ups

common sense.

however, if you're ignorant enough to feel that i should be banned for expressing my right to call out poor business practices, feel free to complain.

this isn't my main account on gfy, i think that's clear at this point.

Thats far from the truth. Ive spoken with AK via ICQ and by phone- His english is just fine amd he's completely understandable. Anyone who has actually dealt with him knows that. And the support he (and others) have offered, is superb.
