PasswordByPhone is dead. Will not be paying. - GoFuckYourself.com

LongBucksVip · 10-27-2011, 11:42 AM

I have been trying to contact them for about a month or more with no success.

Phone call were not answered, skype and ICQ messages were ignored.

And here is the end today

It's easy for me to be Zen about this since I am not owed anything, but I like it better when they say "there will be no more payments".

It's a lot better than some "funds are in motion" bullshit. At least that's what I think.

In my experience I think people tend to lose a lot more money fretting over missed payments and trying to collect monies owed than if they simply faced the reality of being screwed from day 1 and went to work replacing the lost revenue stream.

Do you use CC Bill's Cascade to URL? They are integrated with Global Acces who can convert all your non credit card traffic with phone and sms - with zero chargebacks, just FYI. (And they pay you weekly, CC Bill will pay your affiliates).

Sad about PBP, it seemed like they were picking up, even sent a bunch of reps I never knew they had (outside of Marc J) to the Atlanta Forum in '08. I saw Tanja in Europe a few years ago, but she had moved on to phone sex lines. Wasn't she an owner in the company?

Never an easy decision? Come on.... the first thing programs think about when cutting costs is cutting the affiliate program.

Lets be real here... it's the easiest decision you'll make when the skys falling.

It's the same bullshit when companies are looking to "restructure costs", first thing to go is people.

Someone once told me.. "Don't be loyal to any company... be loyal to people...companies come and go."

"we have closed our doors" sounds like they are getting rid of more than affiliates, no?

Sorry to hear. The fact that the farewell text was copied almost word for word from Melissa Money's program is strange.

It's not all that strange. I'm surprised there aren't more doing it. Programs tend to close and pull these moves one after another when they see the other guy get away with it. It's why unless you've been posting here for the last three years and have never said a thing to disparage affiliates or suggest you might be the type to take the money and run don't expect me to join your affiliate program that you handle payments for unless we have a prior business relationship. Sorry, I'm not here to be screwed.

Just Alex · 10-27-2011, 04:34 PM

There goes my $16 with them. Used to send Chinese freeloaders to them.
Oh well, too bad.

adultchatpay · 10-27-2011, 04:40 PM

Another on the list. Hate to see this happen to a program.

SwirlsGirl · 10-27-2011, 04:45 PM

Damn sorry to hear that password by phone, companies are dropping left and right it seems.

Maybe you guys could have miscredited a few of your clients with sales and used the extra change to stay afloat

Just kidding of course, but yes business is war!

We seem to have some businesses in our precious adult industry that are either "too big to fail" or..........."too shady to fail"

Again sorry to hear the bad news, If we were in a position to help we sure would have.

EukerVoorn · 11-03-2011, 12:17 PM

PasswordByPhone was just another company ran by greedy wankers. I used them for a few months and learned they took more than 50% and on top of that they charged an extra fee for wiring the money to my bank account. So after 3 months I removed all their links from my site and sent them a mail saying they were too expensive. People like this just want to grab as much money as they can at any price, and now things got difficult for them they closed their doors and kept the money they owe to hard working people, so at least they made proper money out of it.

This is one of the good things about all this piracy crap and economical crisis... only the strong and honest survive, all these con artists and porn producer wannebe's are losing it and forced to leave the porn biz and start doing something else, like becoming garbage men.

Clean up the biz, yeah great!

brassmonkey · 11-03-2011, 12:45 PM

well they did say sorry.

marzzo · 11-07-2011, 10:44 PM

At least they hired a copywriter that's familiar with how things are done around here:

The time has come where we have shuttered our doors. I want to thank you for the continued support over the years. We've maintained for as long as we could. The site is at a level where it no longer makes sense to sustain the operations of the affiliate program. No business lasts forever, and our time has finally come. I don't really think this should be a shock, given the nature of the market and the acceptance for a solo girl site in today's marketplace, particularly one as old as mine. There will be no more payments. I apologize sincerely for the lack of notice, delivering bad news like this is never going to be a happy occasion - or an easy decision. Our recommendation is you immediately pull your links, where appropriate. The end has come.

Once again, thank you for everything. May your future business endeavors be successful, and I am hopeful you understand. We are now out of business.

I think it's more likely they copy / pasted , changed a few words, superficially deleted a sentence here and there, clicked send and called it a day
