Hi, I've made hundreds of dollars with a cpa network last month and I'm not receiving payment or support. I can't reach support through anyway, phone, email, aim chat. Any suggestions on what I can do? Or should I just cut my losses? This just pisses me off, because it's my hard earned money. And I bet there are many people signing up to the network, making money only to not get paid out. Any help? |

If you used BH methods, then forget it. They won't care about you and they are right. If you used legit methods, then I'm sorry about this. I have never got scammed by a network, but I can feel your pain, because I know how much we have to struggle to make our hard earned cash. Unfortunately, if they are not replying and it isn't really big money I think that the best you can do is give them the feedback they deserve. You can start posting your review here: 500+ CPA Networks and Publisher Affiliate Networks Reviewed // AffiliatePaying.com. But try not to lose your campaign, look for other networks running the same offer and contact them. William

That sucks man, what network was it, so none of us sign up? I would try getting their info and taking them to small claims court depending how much they owe you. |

I agree, if you used BH with a legitimate network, after they inform you that your account has been closed you may not be able to receive support from them again. Many networks lose money on publishers that use unethical techniques to promote their offers which is why they may have given you the cold shoulder. Networks must do everything in their power to protect their advertiser's interests, otherwise the quality and selection of their campaigns will suffer. If this is NOT the case, and the method you used to promote their offers was compliant with their TOS, then you should let everyone know your story along with details and proof. If you just say the network scammed you without going into specifics, a majority of people will assume you did something wrong and will not take your review seriously. |

No I don't use any blackhat techniques. I create review websites and refer a product. And it's a good chunk of change, at least for me, $600+ can come in to good use. I will post negative reviews on that affiliate paying site and others if I find them. Also, I will post the network here in a couple of days if I still don't receive payment or at least some support. |

If you didn't use black hate methods i would review the networks terms and conditions one more time to make sure you didn't violate anything listed on there. If you read through and find nothing about the method you used or your marketing practices then i would continue to send communications and state you're in the process of taking legal action against the network. It may not get them to release the money right away but maybe it will grab someones attention so you can begin getting the responses you're looking for... Also - i imagine you're reluctant to post the network name on here otherwise you would have done so but if may benefit you, there are loads of networks on there so there be a rep from the network that can assist... Either way I'm sorry this happened to you and hope you resolve the issue. |

Yep, first make sure you were promoting honestly. If it is one of the bigger more reputable networks, then chances are you will get paid assuming you were playing between the posts. If it was a smaller new network, there is more risk of course |

In general bluefart techniques DON'T have the lead quality and that is why networks and most importantly merchants don't like it. It also depends what you mean by bluefart and the extent you are using it. You have to realize that a lot of those techniques involve framing portions of the offer etc to artificially get unqualified leads. Clearly this will convert on the advertisers end like garbage. Now if you would consider the use of offline traffic to an offer that doesnt specifically allow offline traffic to be considered bluefart, then I agree, the lead quality will many times be just as good and though its not playing by the letter of the terms, nobody really cares because everybody is making money. Again like you said, its a calculated risk. So though bluefart doesnt automatically mean conversions are lower, in the majority of circumstances it is. | |

Hey guys, thanks for the input. I don't like to talk badly about other people or networks. But if I really do not get paid, then I will post the network here, because people should know not to signup to this network. * With this BH stuff, I don't do any of that. I have a simple review site that ranks in the search engines to drive traffic. It complies 110% with the TOS. |

Try to contact them first and still if you do not get paid, just start posting a negative reviews about them on various forums. Similar thing happened with one of the CPALead publisher, company did not pay him his $12k, the he started thread in DP forums and also ran an adword ad pointing people to his thread on DP. And the result? In 3 days they paid him $10k. |

Agreed, most times affiliate managers dont really care what you did to get traffic, so long as the traffic is within the boundaries of the offer. So if you are doing funky SEO stuff but driving people to a legitimate lander, then that's cool. | |

Hi, I don't believe in doing tit for tat. Don't do to others what you don't want others do to you. BUT .............. you can use PRESSURE, if you're truthful about your problem and you're clean from any wrong-doing. Easily said, they are at fault and not you. STEP (1) Here is what I suggest : 1 - Follow-up with them until you're satisfied that they really don't want to pay you. 2 - Never use threats or vulgarities! Keep copies of your communication and their responses to you. 3 - Get advice from BBB.org/us or BBB/canada ( many of these companies are in Canada ) 4 - Check out reviews regarding them if they exist in the BBB.org 5 - If they're not, then check out reviews in WF & DP STEP (2) If you cannot settle this and the amount is big, GET A LAWYER STEP (3) Now, if the above cannot help and you cant afford a lawayer, then you can start ASKING in WF & DP. Just mention that it is a complain. Don't use bad words, make yourself known you're upset. Step up the pressure, USE ANGRY WORDS. POST YOUR COMMUNICATIONS AS WELL and mention the people you are dealing with. If the above cannot settle matters amicably, STEP UP THE PRESSURE. STEP (4) Start making 10 VIDEOS about them and upload them in 20 VIDEO SITES. So thats 200 videos on the net ! State your issues clearly and professionally. Again, don't use bad words, make yourself known you're upset and angry of the situation. ADVICE PEOPLE NOT TO USE THEM ANYMORE. Right after you finished uploading the videos, MAKE SURE YOU TWIT and POST THEM in FACEBOOK. YOU WILL GET SYMPATHY from someone of authority who WILL TAKE ACTIONS. You will, in your actions, stopped others from getting "screwed" by the company. YOU WILL GET THE ATTENTION OF ADVERTISERS ( merchants ) and this will slower the brisk business that has brought them to their current level. I bet you can settle it before you finished uploading the video.. If you're not truthful and if you have done something wrong that made them kicked you out of their NETWORK, then get ready to be sued. You get to choose your actions actually. |

![]() This is by far the best post I've read today. On topic, The OP does seem a little reluctant in sharing the network's name. Dude, if you're that the network won't pay you for sure if you tell us their name then you're freaked out for no reason at all. As someone else pointed out, their might be an AM on WF who could get your problem sorted out. | |

I'd strongly recommend you stick to 3-5 large cpa networks with great reputations, such as neverblue, ewanetwork, and copeac etc. It is not necessary for it to lose money or take risky chances.

Yep, there are bad players on all sides of the equations, just like a lor of businesses. The impersonal nature of the internet combined with a few other factors makes it a bit more pervasive in many online businesses.

It's unfortunate this happened to you. People should really do their homework before sending traffic to a network. There are so many networks out there and so many choices it makes it very hard for the affiliate sometimes. Check the review sites like AffiliatePaying.com or check similar sites, ask friends, google some info on the company, etc. Again, sorry to hear this happened to you man - it really is a bummer situation.

lol 2.60 compared to everyone else 1.50 to 2.00, Yep right there tells you they are BS and i didnt even do a review Hasoffer is a good platform not the best by no means but you can thank them for the sudden increase in scamming sites due to there 30 day free trial, they need to remove that as many honest publishers are being taken advantage of. like they said when ever i goto apply to a network, if its Direct track, Link trust or cake marketing i know they actually invested, when ever it is a Hasoffer network i go straight to affiliate paying to check there reviews | |

I just applied to their network as well..., saw the Offervault email outlining their network. I will follow-up with my contact @ Mailers network and mention the comments on here. Missed a call from a David Black last week... I am a bit hesitant to start anything with them now as well. |

It is sad to learn that you have stuck up with mailer;s network and lost your effort end up with no payment. This was a story with many in the crowd who lose their money with scam network. I know there are good CPA network around here who pays special attention to new bees and help them for a couple of months to earn. |
