I recently read some of his interactions with people to whom he owed commissions and it was alarming.  Instead of showing some humility and being apologetic for the the delay, he basically told people that the more they hounded him about his lack of payment, the further down the list of his priorities he would put them.  I have shared messages with others to warn them that he is not someone to get involved with.

That's exactly what he told me.

He said "The squeaky wheel doesn't get the grease, it gets replaced".

Utter stupidity. Why would you replace an entire wheel when all it needed whas a touch of grease ?

Thanks for all your advice.

I spoke to Chris at LFMTE Host and he says it needs to be programmed in, so I'll have to find a programmer to do it by the sounds of things.

Thanks again.

Phil

Surely that's the amount on the corresponding sales page in the LFM script, isn't it ?

I've got Stripe on the case and they're confused as to why also.

I'm thinking there may be something in the LFMVM script that's causing it.

I replaced my Payza info with the Stripe info, as Payza is now obsolete.

Maybe that can't be done that way.

Thanks for that. I just can't work out why it doesn't work properly.

When I click the payment button, it loads the Stripe payment box ok, but the payment amount is only $0.09 when it should be $9.97.

Completely dumbfounded by it.

Where do I find the data name I need to use in my Stripe account ?

I can't find it.

never felt this stupid in my life before !

Thanks. I'll check it out.

I'm taking over another mailer that already has it set up. but it looks like I can't just copy and paste the basic code into the appropriate boxes.

Here's an example of the code on the site that works properly@

<form action="charge.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="[amount]">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="[item_name]">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="[item_number]">
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="[user_email]">
<input type="hidden" name="userid" value="[user_id]">
<input type="hidden" name="txn_type" value="item">
<input type="hidden" name="call_stripe" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="onetime" value="1">
<script
 src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js" class="stripe-button"
 data-key="[merchant_id]"
 data-currency="USD"
 data-amount="[amount]"
 data-name="Midnightmailer"
 data-description="[item_name]"
 data-email="[user_email]"
 data-image="https://midnightmailer.com/images/stripe_logo.png"
 data-locale="auto"
 data-zip-code="true"
 data-billing-address="false"
 data-allow-remember-me="true"
 data-panel-label="Pay Now {{amount}}"
 data-label="Pay with Card">
</script>
</form>

And this is mine.

<form action="charge.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="[amount]">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="[item_name]">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="[item_number]">
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="[user_email]">
<input type="hidden" name="userid" value="[user_id]">
<input type="hidden" name="txn_type" value="item">
<input type="hidden" name="call_stripe" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="onetime" value="1">
<script
 src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js" class="stripe-button"
 data-key="[merchant_id]"
 data-currency="USD"
 data-amount="[amount]"
 data-name="Proactivemailer"
 data-description="[item_name]"
 data-email="[user_email]"
 data-image="https://midnightmailer.com/images/stripe_logo.png"
 data-locale="auto"
 data-zip-code="true"
 data-billing-address="false"
 data-allow-remember-me="true"
 data-panel-label="Pay Now {{amount}}"
 data-label="Pay with Card">
</script>
</form>

Hi folks,

I'm trying to set up Stripe on my mailer, but can't work out how.

Can anybody explain in "simpleton" language ?

Any advice is muchly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Phil

I can also confirm that GoodNewsMailer and 100PercentCommissionTraffic are also back online.

I've just logged in and sent a message.

Appears to be fine.

Always nice to get an established list back.

I wish Adtactics would get sorted.

FFS !

The sad thing is, I actually started emailing one of his "partners" regarding my commissions explaining that, as a partner, he was now liable for my unpaid commissions.

He was really upset about the situation and stated that he had had similar emails from other unhappy members about not being paid, and was in the process of trying to get a refund on his investment, with no success.

I really wish I'd kept the email for proof. but, alas I didn't.

In my early days, I genuinely used to look up to Matthew as someone I wanted to aspire to be, whereas now, I aim to be the exact opposite and genuinely care about my members.

In a roundabout way, he taught me well.

It just sat there in my commissions page.

I took some captures to prove it before he took all those pages down.

Here's an example of one of them

http://proactivemailer.com/images/YVLCommissions.JPG

My 1st sale was in Liberty (anyone remember them)

I made a $3 commission.

They issued a cheque to me in the UK, minus a $2 processing fee, so I received a $1 cheque.

It proved the concept that I COULD earn online and was also really amusing, so I framed it and still have it.

I'm in the process of adding SolidTrustPay and I've just been approved at Coinbase, so just got to work out how Crypto actually works, as I have ZERO experience of it.

Probably going to look at Uphold too.

Anyone have any info on ORU yet ?

Could be an exciting new addition.

Hi Folks !

I'm Phil and I own Proactivemailer.

Some interesting stuff in here and looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Interesting Stats !

I may have to take a look.

He's owed me hundreds of dollars for nearly 2 years now.

When I started complaining on Facebook, I received the following response in Messenger:

In case you haven't noticed Phil. Those who complain the most get served last. In my sites, the squeky wheel doesnt get the grease, it get replaced or ignored.

I have paid over $10,000 in commissions since the beginning of 2018 ... just not to the whiners who like to complain.

My mother taught me to treat others as they treat you. If you want to bad mouth me, then don't expect me to treat you with respect in return. For every Facebook whiner, I have thousands of happy customers. Those are the people who I work for everyday.

So basically, I didn't get paid because I kicked off about not getting paid. (after numerous polite requests)

Personally, I would have greased the squeeky wheel. It solves the problem immediately.

Maybe  he can't actually afford to pay. Replacing every wheel that squeeks must be incredibly expensive.

Same here.

Had 22 Solos and always got good CTR from this site.

GoodNewsMailer and 100PercentCommissionTraffic went down at exactly the same time.

I'm assuming it's a hosting issue (which might be a result of being cut off by paypal, if they have).

If it's not that, who knows.

Hopfully we'll find out one day.
