    Anybody Else NOT Getting Paid by Fetishbucks?

    This is not a bashing thread. But I do want to know if I'm the only one.

    Fetishbucks last check to me was for the last period in June. It is now almost December.

    I have never received a reply to any email (And I have sent numerous to many different addresses within fetishbucks/coldcoffee).

    I have gotten a few responses from Bernard via ICQ though.

    About a month ago he told me that they had a payout/stats script problem and that they were switching to the NATS system and that it would be about 2 weeks until they are caught up. A month went by and nothing yet. I'm not even getting any ICQ responses anymore.

    I am owed about $3k

    I am not saying they are gonna screw me and I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt. But for me that's alot of $$ and it is getting a bit worriesome.

    I just want to know if anybody else promoting FB has this same problem and if they have contact them, what they think etc...

    thanks

      Thanks for responding.

      It's good news at least to know that your payment situation is normal.

      Any others?

        I also have not been paid since the last period in June. I contacted dig420 via ICQ on the 6th and got the NATS story and was told I'd be paid "in a few weeks." Stll nothing.

          You mean FETISH FUCKS!!!

          i dropped them like a hot rock.

          my stats NEVER matched up with the checks i got.

          if i made $2000 (stats) they might send me $850.
          each time i emailed them i got no answer.

          why are people so stupid? we could have made $1000's together, but instead they feel the need to steal short term.
          you don't have the only affiliate program in town assholes.

          FUCK YOU FETISH FUCKS!!!

            Oh boy ...

            This isn't what I was hoping to hear.

            I did a search on here for "fetishbucks" and saw no threads that mentioned any problems so I assumed they were ok...

            After hearing about 2 others here who have had similar problems I'm pissed that I'm most likely gonna lose my $3,000 and a good converting sponsor (of which there are few).

            Others who promote FB please post your good/bad experiences.

                  i have been in this business since 1997. one thing i have learned is DON'T TRUST ANYBODY!

                  don't wait 5 months on a check that isn't coming. i give them 2 months tops to get their shit together. after that, i pull the plug on them and move on.

                  yes it's hard to drop a sponsor that converts well, but it doesn't make sense keeping their links up if they don't pay.

                  you could be promoting a new sponsor in the mean time. then, if they pay up put their links back up.

                  if you let it go on and on, you WILL be used and abused.

                  the next move they will probably make (if you are a moneymaking affiliate) is to copy your domain in hopes of getting hits from the search engines.

                  example:

                  fetishfucks.com to fetish-fucks.com

                    I just sent this thread to dig. I would have to check my accounting software to see when I last received a check, but I think it was about a month ago.

                      Perhaps Howard Cohen (of PayMonde is handling their payouts)

                        nobody is getting fucked, nobody has EVER gotten fucked by me or any program associated with me.

                        We are running executive stats. A month ago or so the accountant, who does the payouts according to what the script tells him to pay, noticed that the numbers suddenly were completely out of whack for the current payout period compared to typical payout numbers. I immediately got the techs working on it, and also a different set of techs working on getting us switched over to NATS. The tech working on the payout system says he's pretty much got the problem nailed down, and right now we're correlating the numbers with the raw numbers from the various billing processors involved. As soon as we feel confident that the numbers are correct we will do an immediate payout of all monies owed. It was necessary during the process to move all paysites and databases onto brand new servers, which slowed us down some.

                        When the nats switchover is complete we'll be rolling the program over to what you see at nats.fetishbucks.com, along with completely new custom sites etc and a whole suite of new tools for webmaster promotions.

                        I have been completely accessible this entire time and more than willing to explain exactly what we're doing here, as Sly and a number of other webmasters can attest.

                          While I can understand where your anger is coming from, I think I will reserve judgement until I read what diggy has to say.

                          You know, two sides and all that.

                            Also, I apologize for the delay. I'm doing everything I can to make this happen ASAP, I know it's not pleasant for fbucks webmasters and believe me, it hasn't been pleasant for me either.

                              you are so right CDSmith. even though i was screwed over, (same excuse) i'll give them the benefit of a doubt.

                              i'll just wait on the part where they say they'll send a check out to mopek1. after all, it's ONLY been 5 months.
                              not long at all.
