Buyer Beware - fris
 
Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share my experience with fris and give a warning to others. Unfortunately it's not a good one.

I saw a post in the Buy & Sell section a few months ago about gallery listings and reached out to him. I recognized the name but hadn't dealt with him in the past. We chatted back and forth on pricing and such but on May 10th we sent payment for 30 listings via Paypal in addition to a text file with the galleries to be listed.

He did request the payment as a “friends and family” so he would get the full amount agreed upon and didn't think anything of it. Now I come to realize that it may have been requested as you can't dispute those payments.

Late May 10th he asked for the txt file (which had already been sent) but forwarded it again on May 11th. He acknowledged receipt and responded “I’ll add them to queue.”

There was no discussion for a few weeks but when I was reviewing stats, I noticed there was no traffic from his domain and couldn't locate anything on the site in question. I reached out to him on May 24th and he responded “i toally forgot about you, ill be adding them into the system today.” He also offered to list an additional 4 galleries by way of apology.

June 5th still no traffic or listings so I sent another email. No response.

June 9th I emailed him again and pm'd him here on GFY asking for the listings to go live or refund the original transaction. His response was “Posts should have been added I’ll talk to our submitter I’ll add them Myself.”

As of today still no traffic or listings although I see he has been quite active here on GFY. I searched through the GFY archives and it seems he has had some issues in the past so guess it's on me for not doing my due diligence.

Thought I'd share my experience.

Cheers!

your gallery listings should have been added, everyone that has bought listings before always had them listed, and are repeat buyers, all ads have been fullfilled always on the site.

you wil see traffic coming your way tomorrow.

fris 06-12-2023 12:28 PM

i have personally added the next 7 days of listings for you, first one is already up.

machinegunkelly 06-12-2023 12:51 PM

Ive done hundreds of transactions with fris over the years and I've never ever had a problem.

Kaos_internet 06-12-2023 01:25 PM

Never ever do "friends & family"... (no judgment on Fris, no idea who it is)

plsureking 06-12-2023 08:49 PM

ya you can't do business like this anymore. maybe in the gold rush days when there were too many b2b buyers. nowadays you need to get on everything asap..

OT-Chris is a legend :thumbsup

geirlur 06-13-2023 02:56 AM

took forever to get galleries posted, not sure if all even appeared :upsidedow
Hopefully this could motivate him to get better routines :)

emmasexytime 06-13-2023 03:11 AM

where are the galleries submitted?

k0nr4d 06-13-2023 04:19 AM

Fris has been around forever, he's not gonna rip anyone off.

never dealt with fris but I recall he had some issues in the past, plus he stopped posting here in 2017 and reappeared last December and immediately started offering various kind of stuff.

OT-Chris 06-13-2023 05:52 AM

So I thought it only fair to update this post.

fris reached out to me here and via email to apologize. I can confirm that our first gallery was published yesterday with another one published today. He has also sent me a screenshot of some scheduled posts.

I've asked him to let me know when the remainder are scheduled.

Thanks to others who have reached out as well. Greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

I’ve never ran a directory site or even built one before or have access to directory listings

Closest I have anything to do with directory sites is being listed on porndude

My sites have always been blog based or gallery based I can’t remember dealing with anyone named focus forgive me if I don’t remember

I only started accepting PayPal i always took Paxum as well as I didn’t want to deal with adult and pp

Tjeezers 06-13-2023 02:42 PM

EddyTheDog 06-13-2023 04:00 PM

every thread on gfy should end in a happy ending :winkwink:

i wanted to embed a video but youtube age restricts happy ending videos.

:2 cents: it would be nice to embed redgifs here since it is a porn board.

this is funny:
