Is Fortune Ads a scam?

[market101]

I sponsored a bunch of people, I purchased an ad and I requested my commission of $32.00.

 

The company response = nada.

 

I wrote to them 7 times in 14 days.  They didn't even answer with any excuses.

 

I just sent an email to all of my downline, informing them that I was no longer promoting this program.

 

Has anyone else on this forum had similar problems?

Sorry to hear about your problem. I have run into a couple of outfits like this in my past. I usually follow the three strike rule. If I get no reply after what I consider to be a reasonable amount of time. I drop them and ignore any attempts they may make to get in touch with me when they offer other products or services.

 

It has been a continual surprise to me that these people don't seem to get the message the first time.

to:  rpsmith.  Thanks for replying.  You  said, "It has been a continual surprise to me that these people don't seem to get the message the first time".

 

I was going to let that go, but I can't

 

Here's my take.  I believe they get the message.  I also believe they don't care.  It is up to us to expose scam artists.  It is also up to us to be very careful not to accuse someone who is trying to operate a legitamate program, but is just having operating difficulties.  My two cents.

You make a good point. It is sometimes hard to tell when an operation is a scam or a site with teething trouble. My comment was more along the lines of this: These scammers don't seem to get the idea that the word gets out on them.
