Sweet18Girls Busted?
 

I just got the following email from Sweet18Girls.

Does this mean I should promote them any longer... ? :321GFY

Dear webmaster,

Today we have been informed by Verotel that our account for sweet18girls has been suspended due to a charge back percentage higher than the visa cut off limit of 2%.

According to Verotel the account will remain suspended for a period of 6 months, after which the hold back will be released.

Unfortunately we have no influence in how Verotel handles the reseller?s payments but we assume that your account will be paid off after the mentioned suspension period.

Nevertheless we would like to thank you for your contribution to sweet18girls,

if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards

Sounds like it is . If they don't pay affiliates I say they are out of business in the next 6 months (verotel) .

woa! not good:helpme

Wow, that sucks. Looks like they another payment processor already in place though.

doesn't sound like they are busted, sounds like they didn't control their fraud well enough or had shitty sites.

Sucks :(

that's bad.

Really sucking news for affiliates

They also got suspended by CCbill...Makes you think

Andre

So they have 2 strikes already ...

Wow that sucks

Is it 3 strikes and you are out?

Might be a good idea to check out sites before you promote them these days. IMHO

Well... don't try to check anything out here.

And did you miss spell I'maHo?

If the email is to be believed, that means that customers were pretty pissed off about something for the most part resulting in excessive chargebacks. It could be that the content promised just wasn't there.

I, on the other hand, don't believe the email.

I think they used the Verotel fairy tale to screw their affiliates once again. This same thing happened before when they worked with CCBill. The affiliates were left holding the bag.

In this case, they are saying that the frozen accounts are not their fault. It is a Visa problem and Verotel is the bad guy for not releasing the funds.

Whoever heard of such crap. If Visa was pissed about the chargebacks, they would still pay Sweet18Girls their income.

Rest assured... Sweet18Girls has got their money. It is the affiliates that are getting screwed...

Hmmmm... and I didn't even feel it. :feels-hot

Looks like they really did get suspended.

that plainly suck

Hmm, I think 2% chargeback is pretty damn low. Visa :321GFY

poor girl...

Damn, I was even considering promoting them again recently. They have really good hosted galleries - stuff you don't see anywhere else. I've never seen the members area but I just assumed it was more of the same high qual exclusive content that is in their galleries.

When their ccbill account was closed they didn't notify affiliates immediately - they just changed their biller links and kept going. I was converting well at that time so I probably ended up sending them a handful of uncredited sales. :321GFY
