Legal action, how I should go about it? - GoFuckYourself.com

capitol · 03-03-2007, 09:45 PM

I ordered traffic from a member here, the test went fine (it was for a few hundred $) so I sent a few thousand, and a month later I still had no traffic. I was trying to be patient, so finally traffic started and it was in the amount of only a couple K a day, and I needed much more. The traffic was entirely different from the test I had, it went from like 1min+ time user on page, to 3 seconds. I suspect it was pop ups, being faked as regular traffic. Anyway, the broker states they need to wait a month to get the money back (which well, they should have cash in hand to handle refunds). I say okay, understanding they are still working on things. Month later, no money. I call, text, im (three different screennames). The calls and texts go unanswered, the screennames magically sign off when I im them. What legal action should I take here? I've been patient, and just gotten screwed over. I don't post here much, so all help is appreciated. Thank you.

I think I got scammed 101

- cut your losses
- dont do biz with people you dont know
- how much did you lose
- fuck you I dont like you
- you a n00b
- on a serious note
- if ya didnt lose much dont waiste your energy trying to get 'not much' back
- focus on making more money .. not recouping lost money
- if you lost a lot .. ignore my bullshit

anything else?

I don't want to take it to that level. I'd prefer to be civil about it, but he is making it hard for things to go that way.

Call from a blocked number, or with a calling card, or a payphone... usually works.

Sounds like you got scammed by Clickadulttraffic, next time do a search here first before you make a purchase. Hate to sound negative, but all you'll get is non productive foreign traffic if you're lucky and you won't get your money back.

To the top ladies!

In order,

1. Contact a real lawyer.
2. If you are going to sue, don't post it on GFY.
3. If you have questions, all else fails, you do not know what to do. See Rule #1.

Thank you.
