Feel for you and sorry you are in the UK when it comes to the whole check costs issues and of course the wire fee's from trusted 3rd party processors like ccbill and such.
This is just a major concern and often thought about issue when it comes to promoting sites that handle their own payroll and run via Nats or any other 3rd party non billing system like MPA etc. Companies are folding this year faster than they went up in the solo site boom of the past two years.

Damm I used to promote smsmovies, did not even know they were not paying out. In the little time I have been in the adult biz so many sponsors have folded and end up not paying webmasters their money. Seems like adult is a throw away biz sometimes
I just received a payment on octobre 7. In may they didn't pay, and the folowing month they paid for 2 months. But they always do that cause they are on holiday then. There were problems with security, check your account details if nothing changed. i expect the next payment next week.
I made good money with them, much better than the dutch 0,80 cents/per minute or subscription sites. Works perfect in europe. But the best days are over, just like most paysites.
Now it look like they are totally dead. No reply to support tickets or emails and payment is late. Anyone still promoting them and having same issues? I'm really worriend about this because they still are my best sponsor...

Airholland, why do you expect to get paid this late?
Maybe i have missed something as i expect to get paid before 15'th day of month.
See, i have been promoting them since 2004 and that's last time i have read their rules. Maybe the rules have changed since then.
I promote them since 2005. Never had any problems. I noticed they payment sometimes arrive a few days earlier or later. But i don't care about a few days, if it is there at the end of the month it is ok. Most of the time when something goes wrong with a payment i notice that after 3 months when i do bookkeeping for VAT. When a payments is a few days late, that can happen. Maybe he has holiday or something. Some people get in panic of there is a 1 day delay.
And if they are out of business, that could happen to. The best times for smsmovies are over, they didn't improve anything the last years. I made my own sms payment site as alternative.
I think i will receive the payment soon.
We will never know why it was late, i think they went on vacation.
I hope they will put more time in their system and update it.
That worries me most. Total lack of communication. Some emails even bounced back.
I see foreign wire transfers on my account few days earlier than i actuall get them. I don't think european banks could hold money for weeks, just few days max.
Before i was receiving payments by wire from smsmovies but i noticed epassporte is faster. Not too big difference on fees...
The guys behind free6/smsmovies have had some trouble with the Swedish Tax Authorities. The authories claims 50 millions Swedish crowns, about 5 million Euros, in unpaid taxes.
I watched a clip on swedish tv when they interview the man from the authories leading the investigation and a fun thing is that they are not sure from what country the are running the smsmovies site now, because it is still running as usual:-)
So this might explain why they can be hard to get in touch with.
latest article in a swedish newspaper about it: dn. se/ekonomi/mangmiljonkrav-mot-porrforetag-1.1050952 (swedish only)
I didn't realize this thread has been bumped so many times.
I still haven't been paid out for about a year now. Send another few emails and a support ticket. We'll see what happens.
thanks for the bumps

Tax requires a company in Malmö on 50 million in unpaid taxes, reports Sydnytt.
The company, which has gone bankrupt, sold streaming porn movies on the internet.
The owners have stated that activities were carried out in the tax haven of Curacao, but the Tax Board believes that it is possible to show that its server and customer service existed in Malmo.
One of the company's three owners are arrested in the Philippines on suspicion of trafficking, while the other two are still living in Malmo.

I wonder if they keep going on. The last payments were made, but with a delay.
There was no customer support, so how could they be in Malmo
There are more companies that pay tax in other lands than their servers are standing.
I hope they can solve this and go on.

I think you didn't reach the minimum payout? Your previous payments must have been taken care of. We got those. They aren't replying, cause there is no customer service.
there are some rumours about the owners, 1 is on the run and the other one locked up in Thailand, can't confirm it but Free6 and smsmovies are related in some kind of way , maybe that's the reason for this all
It all started with the Swedish company (the one that gone bankrupt) that owned free6.com and they were also running some phone sex. Then they started up smsmovies.net but at some time they transfered smsmovies to a foreign company structure in tax havens. The tax authoroties claims the real owners of is is the swedish company or the owners of it and it should be taxed in Sweden because it is managed from here.
Crimes regarding tax is really serious in Sweden. If convicted you are looking at several years in prison.
One of the owners is arrested in the Philippines on suspicion of trafficking, regarding some kind of webcam operation they had there. He has been arrested for about a year now.
About the same time as the guy was arrested in the Phillipines the Swedish Tax authorities started the investigation about smsmovies.
As SZNY says there is a rumour that one of the guys living in Malmo is on the run, but nothing has been said about it in the news.
It's hard to predict what will happen with this mess, but as smsmovies is still up running somebody must be out there operating it:-)
I'm really feeling sorry for these guys, got some good cash in the past from them, never had any problem with them and free6.com was the first porn site I visited, it's a shame it's gone.
I know now much more about the guys operating it than before. It always went smooth and than there is no need of contact. Locked up in The Philipens, authorities on their back.
I saw the changes in address and thought they were lying in the sun and enjoying the good life. Hope they will get back on track, but it sounds like serious trouble. At least we now know why.

I've reached minimum payout ages ago.
But what payout method did you choose? I chose wire?
