Hey Everyone! I am bitterly disappointed (I should now say MAD) with the Webmaster of Cash-Fiesta. You will see by all of the following that I believe her to be guilty of false advertisement. I have made several requests for a refund as I think I am entitled to one. She is of course not willing to do that. I reckon she is pretty money hungry. I want the refund to give to another Webmaster for real advertising.
Please read below all that has started this Upset. If you would like to leave an opinion, please do so or email me. Sorry for it being so long. Thanks all - Cindy

My reply to her in response to the above letter that wasn't even directly sent to me!!

Ms. Bergstrom:
NUMBER 1 - The description of your auction was for MY LINK TO BE DISPLAYED IN YOUR EMAILS until I got 50 GUARANTEED SIGN-UPS. NOT IN THE PAID TO SIGN UP SECTION!! (See your own ad below)
NUMBER 2 - I just went into the site and clicked on the link in your "Paid to Join" section to join Mike's Paid 4 Email. After receiving the confirmation email I went in to the screen where all info is to be given and under "REFERRER" is BLANK!! My ID is not automatically inserted there so no way would I ever get the referral!!!!
NUMBER 3 - I am reasserting my claim to be reimbursed immediately for the $11.00.

If your referrer ID is not showing up there you need to give me a new
banner that will show it. The information that you give me is what is
put on there, it is not my fault if you didn't give me the correct
information. And at the time of the auction I did not have the paid to
signup page on there that is why my auction said that it was going to
be put in the emails, now that I got that page added, ALL the signups
are in there and I clearly stated in ALL my emails since then that
that is where they are now. With all the paid to signup offers being
purchased there is no way I can get all of them in my emails anymore.
As far as it being untruthful, it was not, because it is stil being
displayed to my members. It doesn't matter where it is displayed as
long as the members can get to them.
