CXA · 11-17-2010, 06:36 PM

TO THE OPERATOR(s) of GFY:

I am making serious allegations against AWE. I believe they ripped me off for $11,321. I'll be happy to provide you with complete details.

I have tried for weeks to get AWE to discuss the matter with me PRIVATELY.
EVERY email, PM, ICQ and message left with support or my reps failed to get any substantive response from Mickey whatsoever.

The only times he did reply was when I posted on his own message board for all to see.

Posting on GFY was something I tried hard to avoid.

Mickey,

The quote of yours below comes from THIS THREAD

Quote:

To those speculating about AWE 'counting sales funny' - as always any of our affiliates are welcome to do a test signup at any time as long as they let us know afterwards. Account managers are available to help optimize your campaigns if you're seeing a negative change in performance.

MICKEY: Let's see if you live up to your own implied pledge and evaluate the TEST SIGN-UPs in PLAIN VIEW OF EVERYONE ON GFY?

SUMMARY

I allege that AWE fucked me out of 50 sales and I have PLENTY of proof.

20 were never credited to me. However I have compete details about all of them.

30 sales were mysteriously deemed to be "fraudulent" SIX WEEKS later .. once it became clear I wasn't going to send more traffic to you.

RIP-OFF TECHNIQUE #1 -- NOT PAYING FOR SALES -- MASS SKIMMING

I have 20 sign-ups that were purchased from my members that never appeared in my activity report. The first two were reported to "support" and I was told that some other webmaster got paid for them.

Both of these guys wrote me to say that they had never been to LJ. One of the guys says he was at CAM4 but he clears his cookies and cache EVERY DAY.

I either have or can get signed, notarized affidavits from many of these people stating that they had not been to LJ or an affiliate in 30 days .. if ever.

ALSO: They will attest that they had not been in contact with me regarding the sign-ups. Most of them will attest that they are not personally known to me. All of them will state that there was no conspiracy or kick-back.

I have sent you two "test cases" that you tell me "is being looked into". What's there to "look into"?

You and your support department tell me that you cannot divulge the identity of referring webmaster. How convenient?

So, here's what it comes down to: Either TWENTY random people out of 100 are LIARS when they say that they had not been to LJ before ... or ... you are lying.

ANSWER ME THIS: If you refuse to divulge the name of the winning affiliate how can you ever prove that you're not systematically STEALING SALES from your affiliates?

Mickey: Let's see you make good on your own offer. Show me .. and all of GFY that you're are not a liar. Show us that you are not skimming sales at a wholesale rate.

RIPOFF TECHNIQUE #2 -- THE "FRAUDULENT" SALES

This is a totally separate matter from the 20 uncredited sales above

Three Weeks ago on Oct 27, you declared 31 of my sales to be "fraudulent" but wouldn't give me a an explanation for "security reasons". These were sales from the last two weeks in August ... almost TWO MONTHS EARLIER.

Two days ago you told me in a post on your forum that the sales didn't pass the "sniff test".

What a load of crap!!!!!!

You rob me of $7,000 in commissions and all you can tell me is that the sales don't pass the "sniff test" ... TWO MONTHS LATER.

The only thing that stinks is that answer.

MICKEY: EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO US. Let's see how it smells

As of this very moment my affiliate account is active. You can't claim it was an oversight because you and other AWE personnel knew my account was still valid as recently as an hour ago.

Why then was my affiliate account not closed?

If my 31 sales were "fraudulent" then surely I am a total piece of shit affiliate. Why would AWE .. or ANY company for that matter .. keep an affiliate on-board with a proven record of "fraud"?

PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS ... I'M SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WONDERING THE SAME THING

QUESTION: Is your "sniff test" wise crack your final answer? Or can we discuss it privately as I have wanted to do all along?

NEUTRAL THIRD PARTIES SOUGHT

If you feel that you have an impeccable reputation on GFY and you would like to keep Mickey and me "honest", please contact me privately and nominate yourself as a Judge.
