If your a clixgalore member and you've actually got a reply to your email this month please let me know because they won't seem to answer my emails. I know they are a reliable paying program, but still I don't feel like waiting another month before seeing my payment.

I still can't log in . I've called and e-mailed many times .

They have an office about an hour from here . I'm planning on paying them a visit .

They don't answer any email... they ignore all webmasters
And don't want to pay anyone
Total SCAM

wasnt Dana paid by them last month?or was it the month before that?

Yes she was paid and when she e-mailed , she was contacted . However , I have written probably 5 times , phoned twice and still have not gotten an answer . And recently can not log into my account .

Lexie..I used this addy and got a reply...

affiliatesales@clixGalore.com

(hope they dont mind me posting it here)

I finally , after telling them I coming to the office , got a reply today . I personally don't think I would have gotten an answer if I didn't live so dang close to them .

I have received NO OTHER REPLY from them . Seems fishy to me , that as soon as they saw , "I'm coming for a visit cousin" they manage to circumvent this "mail problem". But everyone else can decide for themselves . BTW , I STILL plan to visit their office here . The truth always exonorates guilt and I don't intimidate easily . I have a feeling they're counting on the opposite .

Have no clue how they got it to me since they are saying I have an mail problem . In one of my many e-mails to them , I even gave them an alternate addy , just in case , but funny I got NOTHING to that addy either .

I am HOT , I'll tell ya .

calling you and writing you . CG has an office probably less than an hour from me . I'm coming down and then I'm going to let as many ppl as I can know the aweful service I got and what I had to do to get some attention .

The more I think about this , the madder I get ! I just called my internet service provider to ask if they could figure out why I haven't been getting e-mail from these ppl and I was told that the problem MUST be on THEIR side . If/since there is a problem , the tech wondered how they were able to get the above e-mail to me .

If anyone can enlighten me , I would be thankful .

lanaar2 , I sure wish you were on here tonight .
I got another reply to this bad addy ! Maybe I'm just a little to close to home for them ?LOL!

Sir or Madam ,

I believe constructive question is a relevant term in this case . The questions I presented in my last e-mail we're very constructive IMHO .

My account was debited $70+ some 2+ months ago , but I have yet to receive payment . Since payment is way over due , when can I expect it ?

Until very recently , I could log in . But for a tad over a week or two I haven't been able to do so . Nor can I retrieve my password , which was not a problem until about 2 months ago . Why can't I log in or retrieve my pw ? I would be happy to change the "problem" e-mail address if I could get in there to do so .

Regards

yet another dissatisfied user(s)

http://www.affiliate-talk.com/showthread.p...ight=clixgalore

I have e-mailed all the merchants that I advertised for though CG . All that I could recover info for anyway .

I have also reported them at IFCC for fraud and I am waiting to receive a form for demand of payment .

Folks your about to see someone take one of these rip offs to court ! I'm hoping for your prayers and support . Even from those who got paid . Winning could possibly assure that you will in the future continue to get paid .

I have written about 75 plus CG merchants so far and I have gotten about 5 replies .

1 merchants says he is going to cancel CG . The other replies told me of their own troubles with CG .

There are a ton of merchants to write , but I am encouraged from the feed back I have gotten so far . I'll probably skip UK and AU merchants as they and UK and AU affiliates seem to get treated better and I'll stick with US merchants and other merchants .

This is just a little update to let you know I am making some progress . I hope all affiliates "working" programs will be a little encouraged too , knowing not all efforts are always in vane .

Well I just got a very interesting reply from a merchant


No, We use Commission Junction. We do have an affiliate program link on our home page, which may be where they got information to list us, but we have never used Clix Galore under that name. Our only affiliate provider thus far has been CJ, and I have been here from the start.

Hi Bob ,

Really ? Ooh that is so odd . Your affiliate program discription is still on
their website . I wonder how many other merchants that I wrote are now looking
at my letter and wonder what in the world CG has to do with them .

Do you mind telling me .... were you ever a merchant at CG ?

Greetings.

We are not a Clix Galore merchant.

Thank you,

would you be highlighting this to Commission Junction. In a way its a kind of fraud isn't it?

I merchant asked to be directed to their program details at CG , so I'm guessing that he will be looking into the matter himself . I've asked him to keep me updated . Hopefully he will .

If he doesn't , maybe I should . Thanks for the suggestion :c)

Well hatefrauders, Seems you were very right .

The more I stir this , the more it stinks .

---------

Thank you Bob !

I can't tell you how nervous I have been e-mailing their "merchants" . But
now I'm very glad that I took the chance and found a stand up merchant like
yourself . I hope your program prospers immensely !

Please do keep me in the know .

Thanks for the heads up. It looks like they took our banners from Commission
Junction. We have no relationship with these people that I can figure out.
CJ says they were once a member but they closed their account for
non-payment, both as a publisher and an advertiser. Looks like they may be
signing people up with no intention of paying. I asked CJ to look into it
and I will keep you posted.

Say pretty please and maybe I'll stop .

"As previously advised, your clixGalore membership was terminated due to you operating a 'pay per click' "

Be prepared to produce that communication . No one advised me of such and there's nothing about that in the contract about operating a 'pay per click' / membership reward . No one contacted me PERIOD until after I said I was coming to the Sarasota office . And isn't it convenient that you would decide such after I was due payment .

I'm going to keep writing merchants until you apologize and pay me every penny owed to me . And btw , the replys I've gotten so far are a wealth of information . I'll be bringing all that along with me .

Understand this . The truth is being told and the truth in not actionable . Truth always exonerates guilt . And I will seek to again be made whole due to any frivolous law suit .

Dear Mrs. Summers-Woodby,

Further to your correspondence to clixGalore and its clients, we advise that we have commenced legal proceeding against you and your company seeking damages for defamatory and libelous information published by you regarding clixGalore.

As previously advised, your clixGalore membership was terminated due to you operating a 'pay per click' / membership reward website www.rewardsdivine.com. Our legal agreement clearly indicates that such websites are prohibited from using the services of clixGalore.

I request that you confirm in writing that all such activity has ceased.

Should you continue to publish defamatory information, we will have no alternative but to seek full damages and compensation.

Your Sincerely,

Chris Brooks

Now I wish I had contacted the merchants. CG really is a scam, why else would they be stealing descriptions and banners from other sites?

And, if they are doing that, then no wonder they don't want to pay anyone. They can't, since they didn't get paid from the merchant.

--Kimberley

I've also found that some of the merchants I wrote had already deactivated their accounts . So any affiliate that joins those programs thru CG are going to get paid ?????


"I can't say I'm particularly surprised by the problems you've had with ClixGalore.
I started a merchant affiliate program with them back in December '02 and was
completely let down by the lack of results, and so I quit using their program
in March. "

Lots of the sites they are linked to are gone and alot of the mail I sent bounced .

From the desk of the retired legal beagle

If any of you have written merchants about non-payment from CG, print and preserve the emails INCLUDING headers.

If you have had correspondence with CG, print and preserve the emails including headers.

Immediately take a screen shot of the TOS and print and preserve.

If someone has a copy of the TOS from a specific date from some time ago, print it and preserve the date.

Here's the bad news and bad news.

The bad news is the Tallevast Road in Sarasota is a mail drop. The phone number goes to a voice mail drop/forwarded in Seattle, Washington.

They are neither licensed nor registered to do business in the State of Florida. They are neither registered nor licensed in the State of Washington. You can *try* here if you're ambitious enough to fill out the form and then print it and mail it at the Florida Department of Consumer Affairs (link won't copy for some reason)

In Australia, I could find no registration or license for them. To begin the complaint process, visit http://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/contactu.../complaint.html and begin the process. It's painless

For the UK, there is no registration for them nationally or in their home county of Buckinghamshire. Start the complaint process here http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/bucks/about.htm and here http://www.consumercomplaints.org.uk/preco...Buckinghamshire but the second link we may have to leave for UK residents.



And let me just add, from Lexiekinz letter.....where CG copied their lawyers.....there is no Legg, David Legg, D Legg, Legg and Associates or any form thereof registed with the American Bar Association, the UK Council of Law, or the Australia and NSW Council of Law. There IS a David Legg in NSW in Australia but with a different firm, and they don't do business law. It *could* be their solicitor, but it's doubtful. Anyway, this Mr. Legg can be reached at:

I'm very curious about this mail drop thingy and I'm doing some researcg on the definition and the purpose .

Anyone know anything about "mail drops" ?

I think I'm talking to myself

I thoight Mail drops might be like a PO box , but I was wrong . Here's a little of what I found on mail drops .

BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS
An untraceable address has many uses for this category of person. For instance, while opening negotiations on delicate matters, it could be prudent not to divulge one's correct identity or that of one's employer or employee.

A small new business just starting from a residential premises can benefit from having a prestigious address. Arranging a mail drop address in a high profile international area can provide the answer.

It might be an advantage for an employer to keep certain information from his employees from a day to day security point of view. He might want to safeguard himself against possible theft or embezzlement or industrial espionage. Also when seeking new staff, a mail drop is ideal as an address for applicants. This stops the possibility of unsuitable candidates arriving at the Company and enables the advertiser to do initial checks on prospects even before he divulges the name of his company. We have looked at many uses for mail drops and you should now be able to identify much area where mail drops can work for you.

Advantages of having maildrop

In real terms, there's just no comparison for the following reasons:
Arranging a mail drop is simple, fast and no identification is needed. In most countries it is a requirement that you show identity when renting a Post Office Box. No ID is needed to use our services. Mail drops have an actual street address unlike P.O. Box numbers and this always makes a better impression. With a P.O. Box, there are often delays, waiting lists and usual formalities to put up with. Mail drops will receive a letter from you, open the outer envelope and remail the enclosed letter from their location. This gives the impression that you are writing from that location. Post offices rarely offer remailing services.

Mail drops will accept courier service packages on your behalf. Post offices won't. Mail drops will forward your mail to whichever address you have requested them. Mail drops are completely independent from the government and this ensures absolute privacy. Mail drop owners would lose all credibility if they provided information about their clients. It's doubtful they could stay in business. Post offices work in compliance with the government.

We offer overnight delivery and express services. When you mail us a parcel, we immediately take care of it per your instructions. Perhaps you want your mail forwarding delivered via express mail or you wish for us to mail a package via express to your client. We can arrange that as well deducting from your postal deposit.

As you can see mail drops offer a lot for people on the move, particularly those who want to retain as much privacy as possible.

wow it's been a while since I visited this thread. Seems that the only way to get their attention is to put a direct email subject. Well that's what I'll do...

subject: If you don't reply I'm boycotting your program

A program like that doesn't deserve to be on the market.

But it seems everything was going fine up until like jan 2003 because in december I believe it was they actually emailed me to ask me to send my payment to which paypal adress. I told them to wait. 4 months later (april 2003) no reply to any email. I made all my money with freemoneymakingmagazine which pays clixgalore affiliates 1,20$ per free sign up.

:::blush::::

Thank you


Now wait til you get the bill!

hehehe


Truly folks, I think anyone and everyone who has not been paid should start a letter writing and complaint filing campaign.

I'm glad to draft a non-libelous form letter that anyone can use to send to merchants.

Just holler

Thank you again matois ,

I'm filing and I would like a one of those letters too . Not sure where to send it though LOL!

Do I have to make a demand of payment before making a complaint ?

Oh and I'm researching Personal Jurisdiction . Is there enough to TRY to drag him to my state and county ??? heheheh :c)

I don't think theres enough Personal Jurisdiction over me to force me to go anywhere other than FLA .

lanaar ,

Want to get an answer FAST ?

Try a subject like "I will be contacting merchants" . You'll get an answer and I'll bet you'll get a threat too .

Well Heres something that will SHOCK you all.............I was paid by them a few months ago over $60 without an issue



Anyone notice how thier account is unverfied and thier address in unconfirmed??

Thanks for the info jaz ,

I knew you'd been paid , but I also know you hate scams . Looks like they do "selective" payouts . We know how that goes eh ?

BTW , they have changed their TOS since my sqeeeeeeeeking ..... so be careful and look at this from their FAQ's I don't think they can make up their minds . LOL!

QUOTE

Q. Can I place ads in emails and newsletters??
A. Yes you may place ads in emails and newsletters. Permission is required to place 'click' ads into these documents.?

On payment -- I found this on another forum . Just thought it was VERY interesting since they claim 1400+ merchants and ten of thousands of Affiliates .



The writer never posted in the bank honored the check or what sort of hastles he went thru to cash it .

NOTICE NO RETURN ADDRESS .
