FindWhat Fucked me Over big time-copy of email inside - GoFuckYourself.com

AvsTgp · 08-20-2003, 08:28 AM

I have been reading this board for two years now and I love you guys, I have never posted for that leads to trouble, but I have never seen a group so knowledgable in all areas.
Getting to my findwhat situation!
I promote many different sites and use my wifes credit card to pay I used to be in the market but that didnt work, I keep my adult business to myself and make good money!
They charge my card and then email me that the number I gave them doesnt match the number my bank has, so I give them the right number and specifically ask them not to call that number but to reach me at another number.
here is the email she sends! she has the audacity to include evrything about herself including findwhat nasdaq symbol but no number where I can reach her

THEN SHE CALLS MY WIFE AT THAT NUMBER AFTER I EMAILED HER AGAIN NOT TO CALL!

""""My wife wants to divorce me now she thinks I live a secret pornstar life!""""""""

when will overture and findwhat get their fuckin act together and stop being stuck on stupid bullshit they are losing so much business, I urge all you to email this woman to let her know that if someone doesnt want to be called she should oblige.

Cali · 08-20-2003, 08:40 AM

They tried that with me too a year ago, and I told them I wouldn't be using them anyway if they persisted in calling my bank. After that they gave me permission to use their service without the telephone call.

Johny Traffic · 08-20-2003, 08:43 AM

sounds a good way for them to loose business to me

bigdog · 08-20-2003, 08:45 AM

hey you can't blame them.They don't want people buying 5k in traffic and then doing a charge back

strobi · 08-20-2003, 08:49 AM

Get over it. They call just to make sure everything is ok. And if she gets a divorce because of that, well than you have some work to do on your relationship

slackologist · 08-20-2003, 08:52 AM

open another account or change the number.

EscortBiz · 08-20-2003, 08:56 AM

shes a def. asshole for this

AvsTgp · 08-20-2003, 08:58 AM

Get over it. They call just to make sure everything is ok. And if she gets a divorce because of that, well than you have some work to do on your relationship

yeh make sure everything is ok amazing aol, amazon, and microsoft dont have to call to make sure but they do!
and then when overture declines your keywords for relevance and you resubmit it the same thiung it gets accepted cause another 19 yr old was checking it makes perfect sense......

Carrie · 08-20-2003, 08:59 AM

They call to verify that you are the card holder and you're issuing the charge.
It's called anti-fraud control.

Perhaps you should be honest with your wife rather than bitching about a company that's running an honest fraud check to protect itself and you from theft.

The problem here isn't FindWhat, it's you hiding things from your wife.

Totally agree with you... if you were honest with your wife from the beginning you would not have any problems now.

Jakki · 08-20-2003, 09:03 AM

mate that sucks... it has probably more to do with Janelle than with findwhat... try vanessa...

VanessaP at FindWhat dot com or david,
david dot mitrovich at findwhat dot com

Hope it works better for you...

Cheers, Jakki

very true.

AvsTgp · 08-20-2003, 09:06 AM

Come on, everyone hides something dont judge me! my life is complicated but that isnt the issue, they should have respected my wishes and if they cant I would have said I dont want to open the account.

doober · 08-20-2003, 09:07 AM

If your serious about your business why not get your own credit card for your SE traffic purchases and all other biz related purchases?

Isnt that just logical in the sense that you need to keep records anyway so you can calculate your expenses to eventually do your taxes?

why are you so embarassed about telling her that you make some money from porn?

AvsTgp · 08-20-2003, 09:09 AM

I screwed up my credit which is another vent entirely.

chodadog · 08-20-2003, 09:10 AM

Your wife doesn't know you run porn sites? Hahahaha. That's fucked up. A lot of trust in that relationship.

Now, ask yourself this. If you had been upfront and honest with your wife, would this have been a problem? Findwhat haven't done anything wrong.

doober · 08-20-2003, 09:11 AM

sorry to hear about that....isnt there a way for you to get a cc tho by putting up some prepaid amount on it or something?

That could be a solution if you have the extra funds to put out.

good luck

Theo · 08-20-2003, 09:15 AM

i know what you mean

my wife divorced me when ibill called to confirm a beastiality membership few years ago

They tell you right on the sign-up page that they would be calling you to verify. If you didn't want the call, you didn't have to sign up.

Sorry man, but this all points back to you, not FindWhat. They let you know up front they'll be doing it, they follow through to make sure it's not fraud - it's not their fault your wife is now pissed at you.

Sarah_Jayne · 08-20-2003, 09:15 AM

how do you plan on making any real money out of this biz and still having your wife in the dark? Why would you want to anyway? I never could have done this full time without the support of my husband.

Spank her ass please for me.

playa · 08-20-2003, 09:37 AM

seriously you need to treat it like a business,

The days of trying to keep it as a hobby and keeping it on the DL is over,

Lots of business have to be done over the phone,, ICQ and email can't work all the time

PornoDoggy · 08-20-2003, 10:39 AM

So let me see if I got this straight.

You run some porn websites that you keep secret from your wife, but you use HER credit card for your business purposes without telling her what it is really for.

An outfit that you are doing business with observes common, sound business practices and calls to verify a transaction with the cardholder - who doesn't know what the transactions are for.

Ummm ... maybe she will let you use her card for a one-time transaction TO BUY YOURSELF A FUCKING CLUE.
