Anyone Else Receive a W9 Form Email From BangBros? - GoFuckYourself.com

SomeCreep · 09-22-2006, 05:12 PM

I got one, although it struck me as odd since I've already been receiving checks from Bang Bros, every period for 4 years straight.

I know a lot of sponsors require signed W9 forms, but did anyone else get one of those emails from "Lucy"? Is that a legit rep for Bang Bros?

Hey Jordan, are you out there? I would appreciate your comments.

Jace · 09-22-2006, 05:13 PM

the only time I ever respond to a W9 request is when it comes in the mail with my check, then I send it back

requesting a W9 over email is fucking stupid, with all the identity thieves out there, people should learn by now that email is the best place to request personal info

BJ · 09-22-2006, 05:14 PM

yep should come in the mail

Sly · 09-22-2006, 05:14 PM

I got one last year. I had to ask Jordan about it too, mine was legit and I'll assume yours is too. Seemed pretty weird but I did it and the checks started coming as normal.

Jace · 09-22-2006, 05:15 PM

i have a question though, do they send out their w9's like they count their clicks? only 1 out of every 200 people get one? hehe

Dagwolf · 09-22-2006, 05:17 PM

I like Bangbros sites. :D

I prefer to receive mine via snail mail as well.

SomeCreep · 09-22-2006, 06:17 PM

Lets see, Bangbros only has about 100,000 affiliates. Where are all the real webmasters at?

squishypimp · 09-22-2006, 06:18 PM

thats why you need to get an offshore company

no taxes

wargames · 09-22-2006, 06:23 PM

I got one by email as well for an old account. Can anyone verify this is legit ?

spasmo · 09-22-2006, 06:29 PM

I got one from Jorge.

fallenmuffin · 09-22-2006, 06:30 PM

Yeah, I got one tonight at 4PM ... I was wondering because I didn't get paid for the last two pay periods and the email said they are 'holding all payments'.. So I just faxed it. Hopefully they will send me my money on the 24th :/

L0rdJuni0r · 09-22-2006, 06:35 PM

i got one today too and they said i need to fax it over and i'll recieve payment on monday. Is this lagit? should i fax it?

L0rdJuni0r · 09-22-2006, 06:36 PM

The contact inside of mine was Jorge and it had an attached PDF with my real name.

I ignored it like I do all the others. I have yet to run across a sponsor that halted payment over this.

L0rdJuni0r · 09-22-2006, 06:40 PM

I just sent an email to bangbros from the email they have listed in the affiliate member section so lets see and wait for a reply. I wont send a fax until i get a reply from someone from there.

Sure, until you get caught and charged with tax evasion. Great advice... stick to posting.

Monique Niccole · 09-22-2006, 06:46 PM

I got one a couple of weeks ago (also from Lucy)

Got one too. Thought is was suspecious for some reason. Anyone know if it's really legit? I'm holding off sending until someone from Bang Bros. clears this shit up.

SomeCreep · 09-22-2006, 06:48 PM

I think if this many Bang Bros affiliates got the same email, it is probaby legit.

Yeah, me too. I'm hoping Jordan (Pipecrew) will comment in this thread.

Mr. Mojo Risin · 09-22-2006, 08:43 PM

I got one too, but with a W8 for some reason ....

L0rdJuni0r · 09-22-2006, 08:53 PM

no one from bang bros yet??

JD · 09-22-2006, 09:17 PM

hmm I got one as well. I need some sort of confirmation from BBO before I fax anything anywhere

Matt 26z · 09-23-2006, 12:03 AM

While we are on the subject of tax information, why do sponsors outside of the US require American webmasters to submit their SS# or tax ID?

Pipecrew · 09-23-2006, 12:18 AM

Hey guys, just caught this thread now, Yes this is 100% legit, Lucy and Jorge both work in accounting for bangbrosonline and have been doing this.

Jace, for the love of god, move on.

spasmo · 09-23-2006, 12:21 AM

Well, that clears that up. Looks like I'm digging out my fax machine.

Thanks, Pipecrew.

Konda · 09-23-2006, 01:27 AM

Did you guys notice how they screwed up and showed all other webmaster email addresses in the CC ?

Do non-us people have to fill this out as well?

No, you have to fill in a W-8BEN form.

I see your comments in every bangbros thread. What don't you understand about it? They don't count first page hits. Plain and simple.

V_RocKs · 09-23-2006, 12:30 PM

Got mine, sent it back... where is my money?

He does not seem to be a webmaster from what I have recently read on here. Jace, we always have openings as male talent, I am serious, email me.

I am glad I saw this thread, I should of made a news item, because if some guys on gfy are confused, I am sure a bunch of other guys are, So its now mentioned on the bangbros stats page.

Icy · 09-25-2006, 07:26 AM

What is this W8-BEN stuff? i received the email too from Luzy and i wonder why should i fill and sign it? not any sponsor has ever requested it to me in 8 years working in this business and with all the small and big sponsors.

I don't like to fill and sign any kind of paper related to laws or taxes in other countries than mine unless there is a really good reason to do it. If too much troubles i prefer to just move on, forget about the money they owe me and remove all my links to Bangbros and use other sponsors that won't require me this kind of stuff.

I'm a bit paranoid about signing and sending stuff that is required by email without any explanation, even more if i don't know what to fill in some of the fields that are using USA laws terms that i'm not familiar with.

Lucy is not only legit but hard-working and efficient.
