I think i posted this is the wrong place.....and reposting

I have been new to this pay per click, for about a week now. At first I thought, oh great, how cool..........and THEN........I found out about alllllllll the scams.
Its pretty sickening and in my book equals to THEFT & FRAUD. In my short week 3 sites closed and 3 others were having problems, one of which is CourtJesters. Now I have realized that when there is a "problem".....eventually the site will be shutting down. CJ was noting a "problem" with the site, next thing you know YOU LOST EVERYTHING IN YOUR ACCOUNT? looooooooooolllll CJ even deleted my account BEFORE I EVEN COMPLAINED! I figured she was another loser and SHE IS!
I know the advertising memeber theory works.....IF its HONEST & LEGITIMATE. Otherwise, the fly by night guys, come in make their $ and bail in a month or so STIFFING THE MEMBERS. Just gives me a sick feeling of being a mule. AND I HATE MULES
To try and avoid this.......I am still remaining as a member at the other sites, and still skeptical (route66, lost50s, rocknroll, lionsolo,webbercash, etc) BUT I REGISTERED AT THE SITES FROM BEENPAID.COM......even though Heavymetalmails SCAM .....got approved....I feel better knowing a site has been and will be in business for a while!
Beware of new sites opening and what they are offering, thats for sure! 9 outta 10 will just be scams!
Im venting and hope this helps other newbies like me

layla7213, just to let you know that court jesters isn't a scam and i have been paid by her, but everyone has their own opinion. i also won a gold membership with court jesters and i am very happy the way she runs her site. that's my 2 cents, but like i said everyone has their own opinion.

Of course everyone is entitled to their opinon. Ok you were paid by her, you didnt mention how much and when. Most likely it was early on and won't happen again.
Also you make NO MENTION about something that would set anyone off......the last email.......where EVERYONES BALANCE IS 0 (ZERO) and will apply credits to the new site LOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL I won't be there either. Already spammed her at aol

all of us did!
Let's do a follow through for the sake of me proving shes another con! , like I said in the other post, up come the "problems" LOL But here we go:
she sends out mail pretty ticked that people are "just" clicking for earnings
(red flag #1)Then she sends out email that said she ACCIDENTLY emailed out a mistaken email for $20 and now the accounts are messed up.
(red flag #2)I sent her an email and said THERE WAS NO EMAIL SENT FROM YOU....not to me...my sis.....my other 2 friends that I had refer under me..she is LYING!!!!!!
Then my account was
-17 and change.Finally, she was "trying to fix the problem" and give the respectable credits, and using her "backup".......THEN SHE CAN'T EVEN DO THAT USE THE BACK UP AND NOW EVERYONES ACCOUNT IS 0

And you're proud of this fact?
I have no idea what sort of problems Court Jesters is having since its one of the programs I left recently -- but trust me, what you stated above is horrible and it's things like that, combined with the yelling (all caps) that are going to get you pretty much ignored around here.
BTW....How is it that someone who admits they've only been at this for a week is already such an expert?

Thank you for your input
It was my 2 cents re the spam, thanks for your statement. I spammed her because she sent me another email (which I didn't mention) Accusing me of things. Anyways, she is just plain bad news in my opinon and good luck to her members.
Wish I had seen a post from you re the CJ when you departed. Why did u depart btw you didn't say?
My caps obviously didn't stop you

. But seriously, this is the internet, I do not follow the rules (ie using * for misspelling, lol, etc) I cannot remember all the ups/downs so I just type, this isn't a business letter

.
The caps, bold, underline etc, for me are for emphasis only not yelling as is the ie "rules"
Yes about a week and a half, or so. It doesn't take an expert/time to know what a scam is. I figured out somethings just didn't feel right, ie, all the "new" sites. In just a few days? But, I stayed to see, and I did and I know lol

and I will be more selective. Because there are legitimate paying sites.
Its things like what? my reporting her? or use of caps? or what that will "get me ignored"? Being "ignored" or not, is not something I think about when I post. This is a forum for information exchange and Im glad it exists and I have had the time to check it out. If you want to see what I have to say see it? otherwise don't ? I don't expect anything more.
Stick around awhile, Im not a bad person and thinking of being a good guy w/a paying site! Lord help me! lol

Layla: By "things like that" I meant your comment about spamming the WM of Court Jesters and the excessive use of caps. No, this is not a business, but we do still observe rules of common courtesy here and one of the first rules of good internet manners is to not use all caps excessively. Of course we all use them sometimes for emphasis, so that's no big deal at all - it's when the bulk of the post is typed that way that it crosses the line and becomes rude.
The only reason I left Court Jesters was simply because I had to cut down my programs to only my absolute favorites due to lack of time. My final choice came down to CJ and one other program and since I didn't have any referrals in CJ, I decided that would be the one I'd leave.
I had absolutely no complaints with the program itself at all.

WOW Layla all your screaming really got our attention....
First I have no idea if these programs are scam the sad thing is most aren't but the bad ones are the ones screamed about so thats all we see...
But what really is tripping me out is your such a piece of work......
Let see I received this e-mail from Tropical I belong to it never have had a problem yet............
But here goes!
| QUOTE |
Well what a morning I have had. I guess a few members had problems logging into their accounts last night, for whatever reason. Some of you politely emailed me to let me know, thankyou for that. But then I received this email from user:layla7213 a member at Tropicalmails. Take a look at this email:
YOUR ANOTHER SCAMMER SITE.......HOPEFULLY U ENJOYED YOUR EARNINGS LOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL LORD KNOWS I WOULDN'T NEVER GET MINE
YOU DELETE MY ACCOUNT.....IM NOT WASTING ANOTHER MINUTE OF MY TIME AT YOUR FRAUDLENT SITE........JUST HAVE YOUR "ADMIN" DO IT OTHERWISE......FROM HERE ON OUT.....
YOUR EMAILS ARE CONSIDERED SPAM......AND YOU WILL BE REPORTED
DONT FORGET FRIEND WHAT GOES AROUND COMES BACK 10 FOLD W/MY SPECIAL GUARANTEE FOR YOU & THE 2 LIL GIRLS ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Can you believe that someone would threaten myself and my children because they thought I deleted their account? By the way, their account is still there, just couldn't login like a few others. Only $2.50 earned in the account.
I don't take this threat lightly.
Every paid to read owner I know has been contacted with this members username and a copy of this email.
I am contacting the police in their town that they reside.
Uttering threats such as this is a crime and I will not sit back and take any threat, especially one that points to my children, lightly.
Just thought I would share that with everyone as I know I have members who are also ptr owners and wanted to give everyone the "heads up" on this evil member!
Anyone requiring more information on this threat can contact me support@tropicalmails.com
Thankyou Jami
PS: To the member that sent me the threatening email thinking I deleted your account, you are obviously receiving this email and are now aware of the severity of your actions. You can be assured you will no longer have an account after today.
A contest email will be sent to all members once this account is deleted. One winner will be chosen to receive $2.50 into their account. The earnings thus far from the above member! |
WTG threating children.............think you might want to go see the doctor about getting your meds refilled......
I can see why you might get disillusioned by PTR but if your that unhappy GET OUT!
WHEW! I feel better! TISK TISK you cruel unstable person!
*****please note not one smiley face! unfortunately they dont have little hands with extended fingers!

Good Lord here we go (glad I put email notification on

At first I started ROFL until I started reading! You my "friend" are seriously misguided and need to learn how to think before you speak, esp to me in your next post. So here let me teach you.
#1 I don't want any trouble with anyone, I don't want or need any drama, arguments, etc
#2 If you don't know about karma....do a search before reading the rest.
# 3 That "taking your meds" is really played out by the way lol
I NEVER threatened anyones children or anyone for that matter in my life! Your crazy to imply that! I don't even know this woman. I mentioned what goes around comes around & the 2 lil girls because I told a friend of mine who has a "special gift" about this scammer. So she told me some information, to let that person CJ know they are "known" and if you will bad karma. 10 fold no doubt to her & hers......what goes around does indeed come back around, esp if someone guarantees it.
A pure hex is not a threat in my book IF she didn't understand the 10fold......hopefully you will inform her now.
Im no crusader etc, but when I see a con, scam, bad people, 10 fold on them. But when your up to no good...its a domino effect for you & yours & everything & anything associated with you. If Im evil because she got hexed then I guess I am lol as long as its her not me, Im good!
She has my sisters address
by all means let her do as she wishes. I have never had any problems the law, bad people etc, trust me I am NOT alarmed at all! There is nothing wrong with my friend hexing people like her

Since you are a friend of hers, I would hope you will let me know how things are going, my friend has been 100%, I would like to add this to the list. Let me know how things go for at least the next 10 days? Or even the next 3? That is not the time duration, I can't tell you that

I doubt you will, but I would appreciate it.
Im not going to get all into my friend with you. But, Im sure you will ask me about her later, after you see for yourself. Obviously she was correct w/the children? I'll see what I can do for you to get a reading from her, since your misguided.
The account WAS deleted prior to me blasting her as a con. Please enough with your lies.
Do not try to deter the fact she is a SCAM. Not to mention the
false member payouts she is going to say she is paying....just to keep her members for a bit longer. Im sure you know about that too

PLEASE have her "friends" remove me from their lists......birds of a feather flock together you know. They will be doing me a favor and save me the time.
If they will not delete me, let me know who they are and I will glady remove myself.
Look! I am here to participate in non-fraudlent email paid readings only. Responding to and reading your post is a waste of my time--your post is rubbish. But it is necessary to clear things in the open forum!

Hey Layla,
I would say the same as the others, one week is not enough to know if a program is or is not a scam!
For example : you said
| QUOTE |
| even though Heavymetalmails SCAM |
Take a look here :
http://www.getpaidforum.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=148492And here :
http://www.getpaidforum.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=147759I don't think it's a scam...
You know, it's true that some PO have excuses after excuses, and are using them to try to hide their incompetence or dishonesty. But some excuses are true and not only pretexts.
Concerning Heavymetal, give this guy a few time...
And give yourself a few time also before judging and throwing everything away.
I'm allways "working" ~1month with each program before to decide if I'll keep it or not. I think it's an honnest "time scale" in order to decide...
And here especially for you (sorry I couldn't help, I had to post this

)
Have a nice day!
Layla (E.Clapton >Derek and the dominos)
What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Chorus
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Well, well, well, looks who's come out of the woodwork!
Layla you say your account was deleted, there was a problem for members logging into their account, If your account was deleted, I could not re-instate it without you. I also saw that right after you sent me your threatening letter, you logged into your account. You see the script I use can tell me dates of logins as well as all the other information you provide when you signup be it your sisters or not I personally do not care. Your ip address is recorded and it can easily be found where you are really from.
You had been a member for just over a week and you think I'm going to randomly pick a member who has earned $2.50 and just delete them?
My site has only been online for just over a month, have I even had the opportunity to scam anyone when it comes to payouts?
Funny how you fail to mention that a few days before you threatened myself and my children in your twisted email that you had emailed me asking for advice on whether or not Tropicalmails was going to shut down like all the others had. I replied to you in a very kind and polite email explaining that i had no intention of going anywhere and hoped that I had helped you. In return a few days later you send me that email.
It is one thing to attack me but I strongly suggest you leave my children out of any future correspondence.
A hex? Now I know where this all comes from! So let me get this straight, you couldn't login to your account and you make the effort to contact "your friend" to put a hex on me?
I agree with the above posts you need help. How dare you threaten my children and myself, read your own email, it was definately a threat.
I don't care if the info you provided is your sisters. Lots of other ptr owners that are members at my site have contacted me and are completely disgusted with your behaviour. Good luck being accepted as a member, everyone is on the lookout you
Now let's see if you respond to this as you haven't deleted your account at Tropical and obviously know of the email I sent to my members. Funny how all of a sudden you had nothing to say, even posting in here my site was originally never mentioned by you.......hmmmm wonder why!

Layla, you should be ashamed of yourself. You should go check yourself into a mental institution or something. Threatening a PTR owner's children because you can't log into their site? Did you forget to refill your Prozac?
I for one, will NOT stand by and let you bad mouth these sites. All of them have been perfectly good to me, and they have great WM's. I think you are just out to cause problems for everyone.
That's my 2 cents, and I'm standing by it.

wow unbelievable
tropical mails is not a scam and the webmistress is a great person!
Why would you even involve her children in this?
That just isnt right
whether a webmaster is good or not their children should never be involved in it!
I would have taken that same email as a threat also so if you didnt mean it that way you should watch how you write things for making threats upon people is a serious thing!

Mar 10 2004, 08:44 AM
I have read the post here on this subject while surfing around in here and there is something I don't understand Layla....
If you suddenly couldn't log in, why didn't you just email the support address and ask for help. Why jump the gun and claim you were deleted without all the facts, I mean if you liked the site and all, why go to the trouble of sending a poison pen email and make threats? I read the email about your email to the wm and seems to me that it was a threat no matter how you meant it.
You said you were deleted and in another post it states where you logged in your account. So are you still in the site or not? If you think you were scammed then delete your account. It is really easy to do, most sites just log into your members area and go to user info and delete the account at the bottom of the page. Or was that so hard? And if you have reported the site for spamming to AOL why are you still a member? Don't you realize that there is proof that you are wrong? As a member of a site you agreed to get emails from the site and to stop them you have to delete your account?
You have been in the ptr for about a week, and as stated by someone else you already consider yourself an expert on what is scam and what isn't. It is members like you that yell cheat, theif and scammer before getting all the facts, that give honest webmasters a bad reputation.
You stated "I don't want any trouble with anyone, I don't want or need any drama, arguments, etc". So what do you think all this is. By jumping the gun and making the threat started all this, so if you wanted to avoid this why not just email and request your account be deleted?
I agree there are sites out there that are scams and they can be found by looking around in here as well as the gptboycott site, I have never seen this site posted on either
By your email you have put webmasters on the look out as you have proven yourself a trouble maker. I too am a PO and hate it when I get emails from members that are mad, but usually they are wanting information not threatening me and calling me a cheater. When I reply with an explanation they calm down or have calmed down before they get a reply. Are you so hot headed that you can't get more information before jumping to conclusions and making accusations?
I am not perfect by any means, but I do know how to talk to people and treat them with a little respect even if I don't have any for them. You get better results when you choose your words wisely.
Or are you one of those people that feel that because you hide behind a computer screen think it gives you the right to treat people like they were dirt under your feet? Webmasters are people too, not just a computer program that runs the sites. We have feelings and concerns and care about our members and it hurts just as bad to be stomped on without justification as it does to be slapped in the face. Is that what you were out to do? Slap her in the face? Okay you did, does it make you feel better? does it make you feel any bigger?
From my side of things not knowing what is going on other than what I have read here your comments make you seem mighty small. Karma or no karma, it is all really a matter of belief, and I don't believe in Karma, so your statement was taken as a threat and to make a threat against a person you have never met, will never know beyond words on a screen and to include children is the worst thing you could have done to state your case.
Maybe you need to take a lesson in desency and learn how to get your point across in a different fashion

How about if we PTR site owners start boycotting users that "appear" to be scammers and cheats without asking them why they're having a problem clicking the right turing numbers (even though the print might too small and could be the problem and could easily be fixed just by asking rather than accusing right off the bat?)?
Or, why they appear to have two accounts set up even though there are two different email addresses used for their payouts (perhaps they're husband and wife and emailing and asking them calmly to explain the situation could solve the problem).
Would these things seem fair? I've been a PTR owner for just 3 months and I can't believe the things members have said to other owners. If we talked like that to our members, we would be closed down (and rightfully so!).
I'll be looking out for you layla. I have enough problems just getting members to stop using email addresses that bounce the emails THEY signed up to receive let alone this kind of harrassment whether it was meant literally or whatever!

I think I can understand Layla7213 in a way.A lot of webmasters are scammers and I have been a victim in many circumstances too,having worked for them for nothing,it's rather frustrating and the smallest thing that happens on other websites we have a tendancy to think it's about to happen again.
BUT...there's a way of doing things POLITELY and THREATS will not help the situation.It will worsen because you risk having the police arrest you because they have every right to do so under the law.
If this webmistress asks them to, they will get themselves a warrant and go directly to the server and with your email adress they will find out where you live and arrest you.
Your way of doing things is rather despicable,you lack good manners to say the least.You will get nothing this way,only more trouble.Think about it!!!

Thanks for the song, I know it all too well. I didn't think I needed to mention it, I do have a minimum 30 day waiting period w/programs. CJ is just too much bs for me. Look at what Im dealing with now looool
NEXT----lol---You are really one sick
moderator note : insult editedI won't be wasting any more of my time or the boards space arguing and what not with scum, I mean Danniella, Jami, or whatever else this waste of a life calls itself
Obviously, unlike you,
moderator note : insult edited, I walk like normal people do w/my 2 legs. Thank you for your post Jami. Your post is
cough scam-EXACTLY what Im talking about. Please read S-L-O-W so you can comprehend the following.
Lets get to your post lol
"VERY FUNNY" how I didn't mention you, Jami, Tropical Mails?? Because, I
did not know that Danniella, CourtJester-----is Jami, TropicalMails-----Who are you? How many other names/sites/multiple personalities do you have? List them here!!!! Please do!!!
Yes, I sent out 4 emails to "new and suspicious" sites, asking if they would be shutting down as I have seen 3 in a short short time. Whats the harm in that?
I cannot say I did/did not receive an email, so I will let that one go.
As for my friend, how much information do you want? lol Im sure she already spooked ya

You think I made an effort to talk to my friend? LOL Got in the car to drive to see her? Grabbed the phone? All because of you? LOOOOOL Spare me lol. Do I really need to tell you the obvious--she was/is present?? Your really goofy, just
"enjoy" what she has done

and tell me about it later

I just now unblocked you from email so feel free to tell me about it lol
The information I provided you is my mailing address, my sister's home. Nothing wrong with that is there? Do whatever you wish, my sister knows how to contact me.
Im not hiding from anyone, I have only one name.
If you take the hex as a threat that is entirely up to you. LOL If you want to contact the 4th precinct please do so at: (313) 596-5400 and tell them somone putta hex on you & your children LOL you made the 2.50 use it for the call.
What's done is done to you and yours (I won't use the words you asked me not to, Im sure you know what I mean though) None of it is my fault, its all yours, and you obviously deserve it

......Be nice she can do wonderous things I tell you. Im sure you're gonna find out

Pass on a good word about how good she is!
No I did not deleted my account at TropicalMails, why would I have? As I said before, I had no idea that Danniella, CourtJester-----is Jami, TropicalMails-----But now knowing you are the same goof w/ different names, sites, etc you betcha I just got done deleting it

use the 2.69 to buy your pet some food.
LOL "be on the lookout" LOL like I said....What are your sites? So, I can get out of them? As well as any other scammers you know of, I will
gladly remove myself.
Watch out for that first step ya might break a leg or something

After you take your foot out, how are you going to repond? Sybil? lol and waste more board space?? Need something to do? You have my pity is all.
Enjoy like i said

my friend wants you to have more faith in her and to tell u the numbers 5-7 Im sure you know what they mean I don't.

First,I would like to say that I belong to 40,yes 40,PTR sites and out of those 40 only one may be shutting down. They are trying to sell the site first,if it doesn't sell,they will close. I also belong to AdClickNetwork and my money and points have recently started disappearing from my account(I was only a few dollars from payout. Then they raised the payout amount on my redemption page to $40,but the home page still says $30.I have emailed them and am still waiting for a reply,but I am not sending nasty messages or screaming scam. That is 2 out of 40 sites,I think that's pretty good.
Now,as far as Heavy-Metal goes,Bruce was doing a great job with that site. The man has a full time job and a family,too. He could no longer spend the amount of time required to keep it running smoothly,but he didn't close the site. There is a new owner and the site will be getting back to normal within a week or so. Is this a scam? I doubt it,considering the new owner is the owner of another PTR site that is,from what I hear,doing well. Where you got scam out of this,I don't know.
I just joined Tropical about a week ago. I have WAY more than $2.50 in my account and I,like MANY others,was unable to login the other night. It happens,there are server issues and sometimes it could be our own computers. I didn't lose my head and start assuming the site was a scam. Sure thing,next morning I can log in just fine. That also happened to be the morning that Jami posted that email she got from you. Doesn't it seem like it was more than likely that you just had the same problem as everyone else? That maybe you went a little too far and didn't try to resolve the problem before flying off the handle?
I'm not saying that further down the road all of these sites will still be around,but that's a wait and see issue. Businesses fail sometimes,it's just a fact. It doesn't make us happy,but there isn't much we can do about it. If you feel uncomfortable somewhere,then just pack up and move on to the next site. It's as simple as that. You can never get back the time that you spent there and if they can't or don't pay you,then don't waste anymore time there.

Layla, you are sick. There's no other word for it.
'Sending hexes'???? GROW UP!!!
I've not been doing PTR that long myself, just under a month. Yes there are some dodgy ones out there but what you are doing is NOT the way to go about doing something about it.
There's a well known phrase - you can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time! You need to learn that - as well as some manners!!
I have not been happy with some of the programs I was with so you know what I did? I left. Deleted my account. No email was sent to the WM because my doubts were MY doubts, and may have been misplaced but rather than cause trouble for the WM and members I left. Just as you should have done.
I am also a very happy and proud member of well over a hundred sites and if I think there is a problem then I'll contact the WM POLITELY and ask what's happening!
Still, since you are obviously mentally unstable, (I should know because I see a therapist regularly!) you won't take any notice of this or any of the other very good posts that are in here.
Have a good life and do us all a favour - stay AWAY from PTR - you don't have what it takes to be a member.

*lil Apache on the warpath again*
Ok do people like layla really insist on *p* people off.. Come on lady get real...
I am what's known as a *seer* in the indian nation and I do feel your *karma* lady is very much so in the wrong as are you. You speak alot of *wiccan* ways when you mention 10 fold and such..
Let me explain a few other perspectives to you.
1) I am also new to the PTR world 3 weeks as a matter of fact. But in turn has made quite a good downline and earnings because I've learned how to promote and take care of the people and sites that I chose. Just because one has problems does not give you the right to call them a scammer or anything of such. You my dear need a reality check cause your living in some kind of dream world. *yes lil apache took her meds this morning* See I know how to take that joke.
2) I have been with CJ for a short time and I personally think she is an awesome WM. At least she does have the descency to let us know what is goin on. I clicked on that $20 add I don't mind that I was rolled back.. Mistakes do happen and I know how hackers can be. If you had not received a message that she sent out today? She is trying to correct the money issue. But you obviously wouldn't know that now would you.
Next time you really must choose your words WISELY because the letter you did send was perceived as a threat. Careful what you do or your *karma* will come back on you worse than 10 fold... is that not what is written in *wiccan* culture?
*lil Apache thru ranting now*

Layla, why don't you take your Pagan/Wiccan/Witchdoctor beating word censor and check into the nearest beharvioral health facility.
If you were such a firm believer in Karma, then I don't think you would be speaking such things to these people.

You pretty much proved my point by your response: you don't like being called a cheater or scammer, but you're quick to label someone else that without taking the time to find out if there's a problem with the script, or server, or whatever.
Jami, Kristen and many others of us pay our members out of our own pockets because people paying for advertising are far and few between. To have someone email one of us and have things such as were apparently said in your email to Jami really makes a lot of us wonder "what's the point in trying to be nice with our members if this is the type of response we're going to get when a problem such as logging in causes someone to go into convulsions and totally freak out on us?"
The point is, before you just email a webmaster of ANY type of site and go off on them like you did Jami, how about thinking about it a moment and find out if they even KNOW there's a problem? We can't be awake 24/7, nor can we prevent server problems as we too pay for our hosting just like everyone else does. We don't have the server in our back pocket to just look at and repair on a whim.
Darwin's Paid Emails and The Traffic Project are the two websites I own. Now I've gotta go deal with bounced emails because my members haven't changed their email addresses like I've emailed and asked them to several times due to them bouncing. Good thing you're not a PTR owner. You'd probably go off on me in a fit of rage because your email to me bounced, huh?

Please don't be so quick to judge.
No one can know everything there is to know about an entire industry in 3 weeks.
Yes, there are a few scammers out there, but if the entire industry was that way do you really think thousands of us would be wasting our time and money here? Think about that. Thousands of people...not a handlful.
Some programs have problems. All websites have problems. Not just the paid to read industry. Every website has some down time. Free sites are bound to have more than one that you will have to pay a hefty fee to participate in.
The people behind these programs work very hard and they have feelings. Many are not making much if any profit at all. The mails and postings you are sending are being sent in ignorance because you don't have enough information. Think before you speak so you don't hurt someone's. I'm saying this from experience.

I'm just curious... what is your definition of "scam"?
We are paid to read emails. DO YOU READ THEM?
The WM for court jesters sent out many emails letting us know what was going on. Unfortunately, PTR's are run by humans. Even worse - they're run by humans who have to depend on computers. Computers crash - humans make mistakes. She is doing everything she can to get our earnings back and make it right. That makes it a scam?
In my opinion, a true scam artist takes the money and runs. They don't offer explanations to their members. They don't try to make things right. They just disappear.
How many civil emails have you exchanged with any PTR WM? I belong to over 100 programs. I'm by no means an expert, but I've been doing this about 3 months now - so I think I can at least say I have more experience than someone who had been around for a week. I've had contact with many different WM's and I find them all to be great people. They're very reasonable, approachable and HONEST. I'm NOT saying that there are not dishonest ones out there by any means - but you're definately jumping on the wrong people here.
If you can't log in to your account... Don't ASSUME that it's gone. You've been in PTR's a week - how long have you had a computer, 10 days? Do you not know that websites tend to have problems sometimes that just can't be helped?
You also mentioned Heavy Metal Mails. What makes you think that's a scam? Is it because the site has been down? Again I must ask, DO YOU READ THE EMAILS YOU ARE PAID TO READ? We were warned it was going to happen. We were told it couldn't be helped. Other PTR's have emailed us updates about HMM letting us know it WILL BE BACK. That PTR does pay well but I'm pretty sure you have not reached the $50 payout already, so what makes it a scam?
I also have to wonder how you would think you've been scammed anyway. I think it's safe to say you have not paid to upgrade in any of these programs. I doubt you have ever spent a cent on an ad. You've spent some time clicking on links. So if any of these programs had scammed you, all you're out is TIME. YES they all claim that they'll pay their members, but you're not even giving them a chance. How close-minded can a person be? OOPS 404NotFound error = SCAM. Can't log-in or server offline error = SCAM. Give me a break.
The bottom line here is that you never even bothered to find out if you could possibly have a legitimate complaint. I don't care if it's the internet - you are dealing with real human beings here and there is a level of common courteousy that everyone should maintain. You haven't shown ANY respect for these WM's, the time they put into their programs or even the fact that they DO recognize their mistakes and try to make things right. You choose to go right to threats.
You click on paid links (probably cheat ones too, since it doesn't sound like you bother reading emails). Which part of your warped mind thinks it's actually ok to email someone to threaten their family? Is that FUN for you? I've been online for 10 years or more now and my BIGGEST pet peeve is people who think that just because they're on a computer, they don't have to treat others with respect. Get a grip. I would like to see all of the honest WM's make sure that you are not a part of their program. Heaven forbid if they need to switch servers and go offline for a day or two and have you threaten them and their families too. Nobody needs that. For just one second put yourself in their shoes. Just PRETEND you're an honest person trying to run an honest site, and things keep happening with the computer that you just can't help. You do everything you can to explain things to your members and be fair. Obviously people aren't going to be very happy but do you really think that entitles them to make threats to you and your family? I don't think so.

OMG!
Thank you for your post. I hope you would read my posts.
I was not talking about Tropical I was talking about Courtjester (see the title?) and the problem was
not logging in.
I just found out today, that Jami, TropicalMails, is Danniella, CourtJesters. Not to mention, I don't know how many others she is. But hopefully, she will tell so this way I can avoid the mess entirely.
W/heavy, I put them on my list , because I was reading the emails. From this to that from this to that. If the site comes back up and stays up good for the memebers/adertisers etc. But, lets just wait and see about coming back, most importantly staying.
That was not my first email to her it was my last. Let her put them all out here. I have them as well. If you want them all.....just email me and Ill forward the entire lot of hers and mine.
In a LONG nut shell....emails members complaining & begging for people to buy advertisements....then sends out a thank you for the "donations"....her subject was "you guys have me in tears".....then she sends out an email....stating that a 20 dollar link went out......and it never did........just so she can -20 from all accounts.....THEN....she says she cannot find the back up....and everyones account is at 0 and shes very sorry.........hmmmmmm
After I send an email to her, saying, I asked you if you were going to shut down like the rest........now this?, etc.....After sending that email....I wanted to go into my account to delete it.....it was gone...my friends were on but not mine........that is when I sent her the Loser email.
Let her post them all here. I have all except the beggin one. Let her also post, when I last logged into CourtJesters....and how my account was deleted? Im sure there is a way to tell.
Anyways, thats a long nut shell lol
Now do you understand? I don't like liars or scum.
Just ask her what happened to everyones account? I have her email if your not a member.......or maybe you all want to see it?
Thank you for your comments, I hear ya! I don't think I will have this problem again....those new sites.....and if it looks to good to be true lol or impossible to reach......im not there

I agree 100 percent with jhilborn. You are so new to things, you know nothing of what actually goes on. You have no idea on how a ptr program operates, or what all a webmaster has to deal with.
Add duckhousemail to the list of sites you will avoid. I like dealing with my members that are loyal, even the ones that have almost no grasp of english and write in with problems. I don't want members that will go off half cocked at the first little problem and yell cheat. and all your santimonious junk.
You need an education on how things work, and instead of asking for help you jump at the first problem you have. Webmaster don't need members like you. You talk big and self rightious. You think you are the only one that has been scammed? Not a week and already an expert.
I have been in the ptr industry over 2 years and the last year as a webmaster, so I know both sides like many webmasters on the net. But even I knew enough when I started to ask questions on things I didn't understand or problems I had.
A child is smart enough to do that. you talk about education levels, what is your?

Then my account was -17 and change.
Finally, she was "trying to fix the problem" and give the respectable credits, and using her "backup".......THEN SHE CAN'T EVEN DO THAT USE THE BACK UP AND NOW EVERYONES ACCOUNT IS 0 |
I am not a member of this particular program, but a similar thing happened with another program a few weeks back and now things are back in order and running smoothly.
I'm not familiar with the scripts that they have to use, but I would imagine that anyone that isn't an expert with that sort of thing could make a mistake and it could turn into a "titanic".
The last thing someone needs when they are having troubles like that is to have someone behaving the way you are.
I have seen LOTS of webmasters/webmistresses send out emails that are a mistake in amount. They also sometimes send out emails for points instead of cash. It's human error. We are all succeptable to that.
I don't understand what you were saying in a couple of your complaints, but it sure looks like the other stuff is what happens when someone is having troubles and needs to move their site. That happens allot with newer sites and CJ hasn't been around all that long so a move wouldn't surprise me.
Ok...I'm going to go read all the posts now and try not to comment again until I have finished them...

First of all Layla is a little confused here so let's take it slow for her.
I am not the owner of Courtjesteremails, I am the owner of Tropicalmails.
Nice family member you are giving your sisters address so she can reap what you sow.
5-7 Layla?? No idea?? 2 children?? Wrong again!! The esp or wicca or whatever you and "your so called friend" call it are way off base.
If you even were that upset that you couldn't login to Tropical and wanted to threaten me, fine, but my children?? Come on you have to admit you have gone too far.
So tell me with your friends help, what does my husband do for a living? Maybe you should ask her ........with your threats you might want to know

Sadly you don't know anyone in the ptr industry well enough to call them a liar or scum. Your words keep digging the hole deeper and deeper.
Need to learn more about them before you make acusations you can't back up. As far as not getting one of the emails, whos to say that your isp server didn't lose it.
Aol, Yahoo and several other servers were having problems not long ago and emails were not recieved. I had problems with that myself. So who knows what you didn't get, or even bothered to check to see about.

Now I don't believe in hexes or witches hi or any of that, but obviously you do so even the implication that you wish harm on a child makes me fume and for $2.50 or maybe thats a lot to you in that measly trailer park you live in in Michigan.
I will tell you what, since you like hurting or wishing harm on children why dont you take a visit to good ole NYC I can make some calls to some friends of mine maybe some former Latin Queen members and they can pay you a visit and discuss why you want to harm a child.
They believe in that breuha stuff so I bet it would be an extra special talk.
