The site is NOT broken.......He didnt pay the Host av.gif
moonieb
The only thing he is having problems "fixing" is how he is going to "fix" it so he can lie to everyone again, and rip other peoples money off of them!!!

Face it....whatever money he bought in, and it would of been a LOT, he has spent, and it was not his to spend........As for the $5 sign up bonus.....I perosonally could of undertsanded if he had come to the members and said the $5 was a mistake, but NO, he has lied to us all.....

At one time I thought this guy was OK

It does have a thread dedicated to it over at GPTBoycott, in the section "Suggest a Program to Boycott". Ironically, ETK is one of the few sites over there that has their Seal of Approval. I'm hoping they rethink that real soon.

kg, from what I have been reading over there, it looks like Richard might be losing that seal soon if there are so many more complaints.

Gosh,i should know better than to trust some site with some seal...obviously these seals dont stand for much these days(if i'm stepping on anyone's toes..well too bad)

They have some kind of convoluted procedure in place to get rid of an approved site, I think...2/3 of the board members have to vote, yahda yahda something like that...

who appointed this board and how do sites get the seal?

btw,i'm staying away from sites with seals
Poncer
Actually, people need to fill out the forms, and maybe we can add some links into posts for the board to look things over. We need to get more people to speak up over there on the GPTBoycott forum. There are members out there who are afraid to say anything because of a webmaster intimidates them to not speak up.

you know i could almost swear we are living in a civilized world and not the dark ages so why be afraid to speak up?

Example of why people are afraid to speak up? Look at venomx? He got people snowed including Jay. I feel sorry for Jay because he admitted in the Boycott forum that he is friends with Venomx. Venomx is the biggest slanderer around like when he accused alot of people as cheaters or webmasters as scammers. Then there are cases where people who loves a program or the webmaster like in Richard's case, people are not likely to speak up. We should not be afraid anymore. We need to stand tall together against these programs that scam people. We should not take anymore abuse from them with their name calling and all that.

trying to figure that one out too ac.gif
& what is frikkin wrong with admitting your friends with someone?
duh!!!

well, going back to the topic... etk ad.gif

i've an account but i can't remember how much i had in there ak.gif
besides, i think i remember seeing somewhere in gptboycott that just because a ptr has the seal doesn't mean they are protected from being boycotted! the seal doesn't last forever... if they get enough complaints, then they can put it up on the list! easy as that!

I was paid once $10 e-gold, within a week so it was okay
Some time ago I had $9.82 but then there were those problems with missing downlines and I lost 4 dollars and four levels of referrals. When I wanted to straighten that up Richard wrote me that member who was below me in downline thread simply unsubscribed. OK, could happen.
Now I had $9.20 again but then ETK disappeared and all I got was that e-mail about Richard meeting with a car and resting in hospital. I think it is the end.

Hi NZE,

Can't remember how it begun at GPTBoycott but the sites with seals I know, voted for some :-)))

Some good sites are proposed, people are asked to vote, after so many good votes on different topics (site accessibility, answer to members etc...) the sites receives the seal ...

Some very good sites have the seal, so please don't stay away from all of those with the seal :-))

I guess now some seals should be taken away from some sites, like TKO.

I have no idea how much money I had in my account, it was yoyo-ing from 70 to 20 referrals and back all the time, so did the earnings, I lost track I must say.

I LOVED Email2Read, and it had a great webmaster who was honest up until the last gasp of the site. I miss it ah.gif
I think that even if ETK manages to come back somehow, no one who knows what has happened will trust it. I haven't unsubscribed yet, because I am hanging in there just in case the site gets sold to someone who isn't Richard.

Email2Read may be gone but the webmaster is back with Points2Cash. its a similar site with a lot more ways to earn and it does send emails

i'd like to say hi, yes i am still around.

about TKO....... well i did love being a moderator over there it was, i believe, a really NICE forum (not that there is anything wrong with GPF, i love you guys too ab.gif ) but we all seem to have been taken by the nice guy image that richard projected.

i have been one of the lucky ones. i did get a payout from etk, but i did work hard for it, getting a large (well it was large for me) downline in the first few weeks of the site opening. by the time it was shut off my downline had dwindled to just a few in only 3 levels and about $2.80 in earnings.

i also got burned by the e-goldbatch game

i have been just too upset by all this (and in shock that it had happened at all) to have posted anything about etk before.

i would like to thank all the other moderators and members who regularly visited over at TKO, they were all such wonderful people

thanks

I did not recieve payment. I cannot access the site. I have a shred of hope left. Does anyone actually know any hard facts about ETK? As it is almost impossible to get these.

I believe there should be a certain declaration made by all program owners/potentail program owners stating that if they indeed have to sell, or run into problems down the line they shall:

A) Keep all members informed of their situation down to the last detail i.e. if they have been shut down for non-payment of fees, and what they are doing about it

B)They should not be allowed to sell a site until every member's earnings have been redeemed/compensated for.

Any other ideas people?

If I remember correctly the seal is given by a board. Well board members can be fooled, even bias.
Members belong to the site should be the ones with the final approval to award the seal and taking it off.
Each site owner could open a login section at boycott for voting. Tallys could be kept as a record. The board could review the percentage and decide to award, keep, or remove their seal of approval.

I remember something. McCraw was a partner to GPTBoycott until the fiasco he created not paying his members, and abusing his members in his section of the that forum. They severed the partnership with McCraw. So, the same thing can happen with Richard.

Hey, that's right...I forgot all about that guy.

there are in fact only 5 of us, probably soon to be 4.

Though I think many other programs have shown an integrity and basic soundness that deserve it.

Yes, you can also thank me for that as well. I helped in a way to reveal how a sleaze bag he was on that forum. I also made complaints as well on Jay's forum, here and GPTBoycott forums on how he is running his program. I also e-mailed him after I quit his program, and restore the members info on the new scripts, he had rejoined me without my permission, and I got spammed by him. I warned him not to send me anymore e-mails or I will report him for spamming me. I never heard from him after that.
