Join4free/wegcash just installed an autodialer on my pc! Goddamn piece of crap

you deserve it

Lovely exit consoles.

Do yourself a favor and update to the newest patch of your browser, and install Spybot (http://security.kolla.de/).

This will render your browser invulnerable to things like auto-installers.

No one "deserve" auto dialer stunts.

I was about to promote their email program, for sure not!

the only people who get slapped with the dialers are people from banned countries. and you get a cut of the dialer.

**whee** · 05-06-2003, 05:23 PM

Never heard of any banned scandinavian countries...
But yes, thats sometimes the reason. Cant believe they get away with it. Big sponsor like that. Ripping surfers off.

What Scandinavian country are you in? Finland?

**netstarz** · 05-06-2003, 05:28 PM

I have seen people using their (and other sponsors) console free tour pages inside their own framesets with all kinds of crap on the exits that WEG had nothing to do with.

**whee** · 05-06-2003, 05:29 PM

Whassup with being Finish(ed) ?

Denmark is the country.

**Genghis Khan** · 05-06-2003, 05:30 PM

I don't understand the problem with dialers. You mean to tell me you fucking assmonkeys are still on dialup? Pull the fucking phone line OUT of your goddamned computer.

Type in "http://www.join4free.com"
The dialer installs after closing the second window. Then pop 3 more consoles.

No dialup, was only caring about my surfers if I used these fools as income.

**whee** · 05-06-2003, 05:39 PM

**whee** · 05-06-2003, 05:41 PM

Simply just annnnnnoys me, coz these kinda stunts are ruining biz for everyone but the mofuckers using them.

**playa** · 05-06-2003, 07:16 PM

where do you think the $1.50 per join comes from?
money doesn't grow on trees
you can't have your cake and eat it too

**slapass** · 05-06-2003, 08:13 PM

They go to dialer on europeans. The thinking is you don't use or have credit cards. Not sure if it is all of europe or specific.

It's specific. All redirected countries are outlined in their terms, which you're supposed to read before you sign up for the program.

**clubsexy** · 05-06-2003, 08:33 PM

What I don't see in the terms is where you get a percentage of the dial money.

If I missed it, cool, but show me

i've seen it mentioned on their forum a few times.
email [email protected] to confirm, cause i'm not 100% sure.

**lazycash** · 05-06-2003, 09:21 PM

You don't get a cut of their dialer revenue. You only get gold site upsells and supposedly 60% of their first popup(although I've never seen this broken out in the stats at all).

**peteinoz** · 05-06-2003, 09:41 PM

lOL i went there and had no dailers installed??????

could of been from somewhere else..

Ive been with them for ages and always got paid on time and decent sized cheques.. so dont know what the prob is??

thats my

worth

that's it... you're 100% correct.

**peteinoz** · 05-06-2003, 09:48 PM

yes I remember getting a cut from the dialer but not much as I remember?? $40 or something for one period

**whee** · 05-07-2003, 07:20 AM

My

is, they state it's a FREE porn. But they kick AUTO dialers on the surfer. Nowhere does it state it's FREE...

Furthermore the freaking dialer STILL autoloads when PC is shut down and turned on again, perhaps the next day. That's BAD biz... Bad bad bad. Coz the surfer wasn't prompted or asked if it was ok to install the dialer on his PC. Also normal pc knowledge doent apply here too, the dialer is hard to get rid of. It's still there if I remove it the normal way.
Join4Free is bad biz.

**cluck** · 05-07-2003, 07:29 AM

They're giving you $1.50 per free e-mail join. Have you ever tried to convert users into cash like that? They don't give their surfers free porn at all, but then again that's why you're getting your checks.

**whee** · 05-07-2003, 07:33 AM

At least they could prompt or state that a program is about to be installed. No more different than changing a surfers start page.
Well, just my point of view.

**Reak** · 05-07-2003, 07:33 AM

WEGCash sucks... i got 2k from them then my other check of 500$ must come and they fucked up my Account.

WEGCash sux

Join 4 Free is good Biz ! Not all programs have Auto dailers.
Join 4 Free is some extra cash up your sales & free trails
their are a lot of good site with Join 4 free programs.

**whee** · 05-07-2003, 07:44 AM

Yes... But they do NOT clearly state it's FREE. Danish or not.
They toss it at ya without asking.
So.... It's bad biz.

**TondaB** · 05-07-2003, 01:49 PM

I just double checked with our dialer providers. The dialer does not auto install.

On another note, we do have these countries listed in our TOS and we are very upfront about it.

Feel free to contact me personally at [email protected] if you have any additional questions.
