Hi Everyone, this is Mike from AVSPlatinum.com.. I am not going to beat around the bush so here we go.
Yes we did have a problem with our previous accountants and did come up with a verbal
agreement on how to pay sexhound back. The money that was chargedback was from August &
September of 2000. In fact we have already paid them $5,000 on top of another $3-$4k
from our current campaign that we cancelled today. So making an effort to pay them back
is not the issue..
Although they did forget to mention a few things. Since September of 2000 we have
purchased over $50,000 in traffic, some cash, mostly credit. None of it was charged back. So its not like we have been in hiding since September, we have been doing business with them since then. In fact, up until today
If I wanted to be an ass, I can submit a chargeback dispute based on the traffic they
are sending us. Our invoice says all traffic is supposed to be delivered from
all.sexhound.com, instead 95% of our traffic is being delivered from:
http://adultsearch.sexhound.com
What they are pissed about is the following:
1) They waited until we spent $20k for a campaign in February, and the campaign was
rocking. All of a sudden they "supposedly" had a dns problem on the day of the Seattle
Earthquake. We went from making approx. $800+ per day with our dialer to $150 per day.... We buy traffic from other sources as well & did no experience any other problems.
2) Also, I found out from someone, who worked for their company, a very reliable source
in fact, that we were being sent free host traffic and being charged for the good stuff.
It was quite obvious because our minutes had taken a major nosedive and all along we
were being told it was our fault.
You know, I'm not going to sit here and rip another company. But there are always 2
sides to a story & you have now heard both. Heck call me & I will give you the extended
version. We haven't been that bad to Sexhound, over the past 3.5 years we have spent
well over $250,000 on traffic purchases, if they say otherwise, give me your fax, I will
send you the statements. Something to think about though, they have lost numerous
advertisers over the past year, some of the biggest guys on the net. Do you wanna
know why? It isn't that hard to figure out.....
Still want to hear more? Email, ICQ or call me. You have the info. Regards, Mike Erickson
