    Assuming iBill gets its act together, would you use them again?

    A business thread.. watch this sink.

    Assuming ibill manages to get its shit together and pays its webmasters, would you go back and start using them again? From a sponsor, or webmaster point of view, either is as valid.

    I have made sure to stay away from any sponsor that uses iBill as their processor for the past year now. Knowing that it could get worse [I.E You go to ibill.com one day, and you get redirected to some god forsaken war-dialer infested site]

    Simple yes or no will do, but more detailed opinions are appriciated :D

                    many webmasters I have spoke too it will take a long time to trust them ever again and even then if it was under new management / ownership. They have burned many bridges and those that have lost homes / business's will never forget

                        Assuming your ex-husband gets his act together and promises not to beat you again, would you go back?

                        ibill is gone, dead and hasn't a chance.

                                The only epople still using Ibill are the ones making so little money that they have not realized that they have not been paid in months. Only a fucking idiot would ever use them again.

                                  they would have to re-establish themselves and prove they are on the right track

                                  it would take me at least 6 month of a AWESOME track record from them to even start considering it again

                                            You forget the companies that are owed a LOT of money by iBill. The only way to recoup that debit is to ensure iBill recovers.

                                              that may be true - but the question was not concerning recouping - it was if they got their shit back together would you use them. Majority rules NEVER and minority ONLY if new management and owners were in place.

                                              Yet there will always be newbies who have no clue of what they have done who will continue to sign up blindly not knowing what they are getting into.

                                                  I wasn't responding to the original question, but the post I quoted by Zprogramz. As to the original question, if iBill starts consistently paying, we would consider using them again.

                                                  Even if iBill hired PT Barnum's ghost to market for them I doubt there are enough newbies doing enough business to support a billing company.

                                                      IF they were under entirely different management...

                                                      IF there was no other finance/backing coming from the scam artists (Galanis and Molina to name a few)...

                                                      IF there were no shareholdings issued to either IBD, PHSL or any of their associated companies or management..

                                                      IF it can be established iBill has finance to conduct it's biz...

                                                      IF iBill could demonstrate, as part of a client contract, that they would not be handling actual money and this would be distributed by a reputable third party and audited...

                                                      THEN... I'd think about it..

It was and still is a fucking dinosaur. How any company that made so much and at one time almost controlled adult 3rd party never ever throught of of investing some back into a system that actually worked and (did not require a degree in quantum maths) is beyond me. (If your reading Ibill take a look sometime at all the features on CCBILL - Aamzing what some thought and investment can do )The final turd on this steaming pile of sadness is the unreal way in which they ever coverd their ass leaving 1000s without thier doe. Oh nearly forgot the question would I use em if they got their shit together... probers not.

                                                                        I think for most clients they will have to come on as strong as a comped Mardi Gras to even gain any consideration. We're talking fruit baskets, prompt payouts and rep's who answer the phone with "Yes Sir!".

                                                                        Some of the things I have heard they are up to are interesting, but so far nothing has been substantiated. And our last payout on Dec 16th is beginning to seem like a fuzzy childhood memory.

                                                                        So the answer is:

                                                                        If it's done right, yes. Otherwise no.

                                                                          I am sure it could be done... but they need to be working harder to make things happen. and pay their clients.

                                                                          I wonder what they are going to say on March 9th

                                                                                          The short answer to the original question is " Never, not even if hell freezes over would i trust the name Ibill or any employee who is still working for them "
                                                                                          what if there is no money left, because of all the chargebacks?

I've just been reading thru loads of documents on the saga of Jason Woodruff Galanis and his "career" in more ventures than anyone on this board could ever dream up. I doubt Donald Trump could manage their proposed scams.. ah.. investments!

                                                                                              This shit ranges from malls to insurance to drug production (the illegal kind) to fraud - the whole fucking family are at some scam or other!

                                                                                              For a person in his early 30's he seems to have racked up a score, but, that was with his father's money, Molina's money (whatever can be called his money) and all the other scumbags who enter that picture.

                                                                                              There are a string of "associated" scum who have convictions for almost every crime - from securities fraud, theft, felony fraud to more novel side ventures. Odd that they seem to be unable to provide a source of some funds.

                                                                                              I got no doubts now on why banks don't want to deal.

                                                                                              Mmmm.. this sure is one colorful picture :-) And now, a $10 domain called inteca.org?? It's time for the law to take over.

                                                                                              Next!!! Time to get the "real" background on "Doctor" Molina - always a close and trusted friend!!
