Their is no red lights regarding asking questions pertaining to what kind of campaign you would be running. I ask this in regards to get a better understanding. Which categories you would be posting to has nothing to do with fraud. I'm just selective on what I want to take on and I need to know what extra things are required depending on the section, for example: services needs PVA's. I like to have everything out in the open so if you have to provide PVA's, that I can tell you accordingly. Theirs also just a few categories that I may not feel like doing and will tell you so.
Brooke contacted me in regards to have FOUR ads posted, lol. She wanted to pay for just 4 ads. I have never been asked this in 2 years, so I knew right away that this could be one of those potential clients that us posters always dread. I told her I would post 1 ad for FREE to show her that I can post but I'm not going to put time and effort into a complete campaign to just be paid for 4 ads. And especially when I have others who are willing to take my normal minimum at 100 ads a day. I told her for a test, I would do 1 ad for FREE to prove myself or she can purchase 50 ads a day / 6 days for $75. Others on here who have already hired me can vouch for that easily. So no fraud is going on, lol, just strictly business. Their is a huge demand for what I'm doing so I have to weed out certain people. I had a bad gut feeling from the moment she asked why I need to know which sections she wants ads posted in. It makes no sense for someone to ask why as you are hiring me, lol. I'm going to know anyways once you send the ads over, so how does that even relate to fraud at all? It doesnt. This is a definite first though with being difficult about the categories/sections. I've never had issues with potential clients letting me in exactly what they want to acheive, which categories to target and even show me their ad info so I can make my own standpoints and judgements.

I paid this guy upfront for a week of posting, plus PVA accounts and he went AWOL on me for 2 weeks. Terrible customer service, no communication, never delivered the work and now won't refund my money unless I go through the hassle of issuing a chargeback. Save your time and money and steer clear of him.
Actually that is untrue. I've been doing this for a lonnnnnng time and it hasn't happened once. Now a year ago I had a client complain about not receiving the confirmations at all and it was because I use Gmail CL accounts and was having them forwarded over to his Gmail account. When I had him create a Yahoo account, he received all of them. The main thing is, is when your setting the forwarding up in Gmail, just make sure to have it selected where it deletes the gmail copy and not keeps it in the Gmail inbox. Works perfectly though. I use my own accounts, so the forwarding is over to their inbox of their choice and has nothing to do with my postings as far as being put on hold. I also use PVA's when I post. So I'll set up about 10-15 Different PVa's, all forwarding to that one inbox; works perfect. Thanks though for the input.
I fell for it too...
Oh well you live and learn. I paid for 7 days posting and got 3.
10 emails later, still no response from him.
SAVE YOUR MONEY.
If anything changes.. like say I get my other 4 days of postings I paid for, I'll come back with a great review...

I sent you an email a few days ago describing the issue we ran into (Our Proxy Supplier). We had to do extensive testings in a few suppliers and all came up short. Our current IP's were toasted. I did send you this as an update, but let me know if you never got it. Just as of an hour ago, we finally got verified with our new IP supplier and these IP's are working out wonderfully. We are back up and running so feel free to send me an email again to check on the status of your campaign. Maybe possibly something happened in which you didn't get the emails, and for that part, I will throw in an extra days of posting to make up for it. Again, I do apologize. We actually ran across the IP supplier 2 days ago, and testings were perfect but to extend our order amount, we had to have our charge authorized which took longer than the norm.

I've been watching this thread for a while without really saying anything.
I know nothing about this OP.
That said I do know about posting in CL. You need to be real careful about going with a posting service. It's nothing against OP more against CL. I have never understood how people post for other clients on CL as CL is too utterly unpredictable from one day to the next. Just when you think you've got the beast tamed it kicks your ass. This is all well and good when your doing it yourself for yourself, but I couldn't even imagine dealing with clients and this crap. Especially if THEY don't understand CL, which most of the time they don't.
I guess my point is, in this thread, both the OP and the Client should tread carefully and know you're in shaky territory.

Exactly Turbo. I've been doing this quite some time and have jumped through several different hoops. I also run my own campaigns on the side but I enjoy picking up the extra $$$ by posting for others because its stable income every week as posting for your own campaigns, some weeks are good and some are bad. For some of my clients, I've been posting for well over 6 months, and in that turns into stable income week after week not having to count on the actual profits generated from your own campaigns. I still do well with my own, but like I said, for me its about stability. I don't copy my clients ideas, I just like to simply make it work for them and when it does, in return they rehire me over and over again. Often times, you do run into a few clients who don't understand anything regarding CL and they think its a quick setup and off you go. Anything can happen but rarely do I run across a difficult client. Its usually 1 out of 10-15 that just blow up and have no idea. And I always take that into perspective and I"m always cautious on how to deal with these people and for the most part I can turn that 1 back around, but you can't win them all. For me, I understand from doing this for about 3 years now and 2 1/2 for others. So I've dealt with really really good people that I became friends with and I've dealt with serious assholes who have no clue what their doing. Just part of the game. I mainly just enjoy helping others succeed with their business on CL. Your right, you can probably make more doing your own campaigns, but I'm so deep into it that theirs no way I can turn back and stop everything. It would have to be a slow process to get to that point.
@Production Head: I use 5 multiple Class C's, Class A's and Class B's, however thats not even my main source. Thats my backups. Right now I have IP's originating from all across the US. I rarely use an IP more than once for a persons campaign and this particular source has played out very well for me. My Backup is nice but most regular Proxy suppliers are just burnt out. I've went through 4 different exclusive proxy suppliers and only found 1 that I was satisfied with but I also established a good relationship with this company to get IP's rotated out every month that I pay. Sometimes the ranges are fine and others aren't so good. My new source though is perfect.
@Eve Pull Rank - Not sure what you mean their. Please backup your statement. You have no supported facts regarding your opinion and if you reread everything I have wrote in this thread, you would think twice. In no way am I coming off as a d-bag as you state. I'm straight to the point with the facts and what I"m trying to get across so theirs never any misconfusion. If you have any questions yourself or need a little reassurance, then please ask here or PM me and I will help you.

@CL_Messiah - Issue everyone complaining about you a full refund or I'm going to have you banned.
I post quite a few ads per day to cl. If you know what your doing you shouldn't be having this many issues. You are claiming to be an expert and your obviously not, so issue refunds. We don't tolerate scammers here.

@narsticle: Everyone complaining?? 2 people in which one I"m working with at the moment to resolve our issues. You don't post quite a few ads per day to CL or you would understand what I mean. I am an expert and something you obviously have no idea about. Turbolapp is already on top of it as a moderator and understands the true dealings with CL. You on the other hand probably have your own issues on CL and really can't even understand how someone else can master it. It ALWAYS takes adjusting constantly regardless of what YOU think. New IP's, new content, new titles, etc. I have tons of testimonials from others that are not part of this forum who will email you on how I perform. So don't get out the jump to conclusion mat. We are talking 2 individuals here so if you feel you need to ban me, go ahead. Ban me. I use other forums as my main marketing needs and word of mouth. WF was just a little side forum for me to gain an extra client or two. If you feel I'm scamming / cheating people, then have at it. You might as well delete this thread to while your at it, because my email will still be out on here for those who understand CL issues but don't want to deal with the hassles and rather have someone else do the campaigns.
Thanks TurboLapp for your understanding and your logical explaination describing the matter. You are how a moderator should be which is why I enjoyed visiting this forum. Listening to both sides and taking both aspects into consideration is how one should be regarding CL. Take care if I am banned.
For those others who are interested, send me an email if you can. When I'm banned, I won't be able to check my PM's most likely, lol.
@CL_Messiah - If people have to post in this thread that you arent responding to them to get a resolution then you are a piece of shit vendor. You are a newbie here who already has people complaining about you.
"go ahead. Ban me. I use other forums as my main marketing needs and word of mouth"
-No problem, done.

It's sad that this guy is/was even getting air time. I was willing to pay for a prolonged CL posting campaign, I paid my money for a week upfront and he did absolutely nothing. No emails, no contact - this guy was hands down one of the worst vendors I've ever dealt with. It took me pulling teeth for him to suggest doing a chargeback and he still never once even offered to start doing my posts. Makes you wonder how much money he accepts upfront and then keeps when people don't bother to ask for a refund when he goes silent on them.
And for the record, "we're not resolving issues" the only resolution I've come to is to stay the hell away from this guy.
