has anyone had this experience with Nasty Dollars (besides me):
i signed up for nasty dollars back in 2003 and i threw up the links to their 2 ethnic sites in my directory & didn't give it a second thought. since my directory links don't get LOTS of traffic i wasn't expecting big checks from them... $60 here, maybe $120 there cuz i didn't make them a main sponsor. i do this with ALL the programs that have ethnic and interracial sites. normally its not a problem, the traffic is considered hi quality because i may send 1:50 or better because the smaller amount of traffic sent.
so a few months after i first signup, i got to check stats and the u/p don't work. that's strange... i didn't change the pass since signup... so i emailed the dude. i get this email back:

first & foremost, u didn't send me an email notification. next, what kind of fraud could i be doing by sending small amounts of traffic that converts to your sites? so i don't get an answer by email after this correspondence so i CALL. i talk to this dude there & he says, "oh, u sent us signups that got refunds or cancelled." WTF? my job isn't to hold hands with a surfer once i send him to your site. i just send people who signup, YOU PAY. i tell'em:
"look, this is Q'on from OnProbation.com, the owner & i've been in this business sending quality traffic & signups to every program i've dealt with... i have over 2000 links in my directory & that includes more than several hundred sponsors that pay me WELL for traffic. WHY the fuck would i defraud you of a few fuckin signups???" my reputation in that regard is well known from all my sponsors.
dude says, "we won't reactivate this account or pay you on any of the signups" & basicall hangs up in my face. now, is this something that happened to only ME or is this the NEW form of shaving? oh, and yes, i signed up again... & i'm SURE i sent you some signup over the past month now i want you to POST some sort proof that the signups i sent BEFORE we fraudulent (what does "fraudulent" mean in your book? how did i send you "fradulent" signups? wtf is that?). now, post the current stats & show some REASON u won't pay me on that (note: we try to keep a comprehensive directory so i link all ethnic & ir websites so since my editors will have these sites listed ANYWAY, i'd like to get fuckin paid).
