Have I been SCAMMED by ProminentLeads.com

newbie_warrior · 01-29-2012, 07:38 AM

Hi,

I have a pending payment from prominentleads.com not much just around
$175 using SEO traffic and a trial offer I ran for them. The payment was
due last Dec. 31. As of today no payment have been given. I have been
trying to contact them forever, even in skype and all I keep getting is
"We are very sorry for delay". Is that an excuse or have I been scammed
already? I just don't know about it.

Josh Okoebor is my affiliate manager and just keep giving the same
reasons (or excuses). Very very bad experience.

Any interested CPA network that has high converting offer in the free
trial electronic cigarette niche so I can just replace their offer with yours?

Let me hear your thoughts and advice.

Erwin

Just to be fair I just got paid in full today after enough follow-up. It was really frustrating but I just hope this will not happened again.

yep, whenever I get those "sorry for the delay" repeatedly over weeks then just figure you got scammed and move on.

Search all the reputable sites like Amazon or comissionjunction to find someone selling those products that you can promote.

It doesn't take long in IM before you stay away from those small time companies.

Learn your lesson and move on. Dwelling on this now will just keep you from making any real money.

TopKat22 · 01-29-2012, 08:37 AM

By the way, post a review about them in the review forum here with their name in the title so that others don't get taken by them. However, keep the word scammed out of it and don't be emotional or it will get deleted. Just post the facts with out descriptors like scam.

The three dots with one green shows they took that pic from another sites slide show.

If all you are getting is excuses then yes defiantly move on. If you PM me the electronic cigarette ad you was running with payout i will see what we can do for you as far as getting this offer with higher payout for you,

Agree. Dont promote them if you smell fishy.

mtmjohn · 01-30-2012, 01:30 AM

If you sent them legitimate traffic (no fraud) and didn't break any of their TOS, i'd suggest you stop sending any traffic to their offers right now and keep hitting them up until you get paid. And meanwhile, move on to other top-level networks.

speedylikesKJ · 01-30-2012, 03:32 AM

gee looking at their website , i wont ever signup with network with such a bad website lol , i mean we are doing business on internet and websites are like your offices in real world grrr i dont think they will have any affiliate other than OP lol ...

aitvaras · 01-30-2012, 10:14 AM

You sir have been scammed. There are enough legitimate networks in this industry take this as a lesson learned.

zerofill · 01-30-2012, 01:10 PM

Well by the looks of that site... I would have doubted they were legit from the get go hehe.

Good to hear a happy ending to this story.

silverace · 01-31-2012, 08:38 AM

great to hear you got your money. unproffesional though, I'd personally stop working with them and go to a more reliable network like neverblue or wsm!

Nice to hear you got paid, However I would assure them if this happens again you will take your business else where. there are to many networks out there so they need you more then you need them because with out publishers there is no network.

I would just make sure they know if this continues your gone and if they are wanting to keep making money they will be sure it doesn't

Has anybody had the same problem with simplerleads.com? I think that they are trying to do the same to me.

zerofill · 01-31-2012, 11:26 AM

Actually they would get no second chance from me...

I use money to make money...
If you hold up the money I use and the money I made...
The same money I would use to make more money... we have a problem.

You don't give them a second chance...

It is obvious they are having money issues. Whether it be the advertiser paying them or what have you... Doesn't matter either way, because those are not your problems. They made them your problem! Which should not be the case.

Tell them........ see ya!

This. if you're in paid traffic and your cashflow is important, you only want to deal with the top notch networks that pay you every single time, on time.
