Curious Cash Communications & Non-payment

[nicedreams]

Has anyone heard from someone at Curious Cash recently? Or is anyone having problems being paid by Curious Cash?

After reviewing our stats a few weeks ago, we noticed that we were not paid out by Curious Cash when we should have been. Double checked our info in their system and all was correct. So we contacted them to find out what was going on. Heard back once, but it has been 5 weeks now and nothing.

- 2/25/09 Sent email to Curious Tim and used their contact form
- 2/25/09 Jesse responded to email sent to Curious Tim
- 2/25/09 replied back to Jesse
- 3/3/09 Forwarded reply to Jesse and Curious Tim
- 3/17/09 Forwarded reply to Jesse and Curious Tim again
- 3/24/09 Forwarded reply to Jesse and Curious Tim again

Removed my comment. I was getting Curious Cash mixed up with another affiliate (Boner Bucks) we are having payment problems with.

Ok, a report back from me as always.

After a thorough investigation it appears Jimmy (nicedreams) is a wanker.

WOW! Is this how you run your business? Name calling!

Now, as an aside, CuriousTim has asked me many times over the years to not be so quick to reply to board posts until the real story is known, but he also knows that I ALWAYS respond and ALWAYS follow things up. That is the way it should be be in my mind, and how I have operated ALWAYS in my 10 years in this biz. Ask anyone who actually knows me.

So, the story is:
- Jimmy has contacted the CuriousCash office MANY times (but never me).

So your company only responds to requests directly to you only? Ok.

- We have endeavored to save this situation during those communications.

Of course you have, but you were unable to respond to any of them until my post.

- Jimmy is claiming that he is still owed about $105 from since around 2002, which then adds up to his claim he should be paid.

I actually said 2004, read the emails again.

I don't know about other programs, but CuriousCash only has to retain tax records for 5 years, and we have revamped the program more than a couple of times in the last 7 years (this is our 10th year out of interest).

That's great! The sales only happened in 2006-2008 so you will be able to find those records and sales!

One would think that 2009 is a little bit late for someone to start thinking about chasing $105.

We simply can't check payments that were made that far back, and I doubt many programs could.

Its not a payment until you actually send money.

I would of thought a good webmaster would of checked with us with in a MUCH smaller time span than letting things get out of control and then check 7+ years later for $105.

I would of thought a good company would have sent the payment out when they should have instead of making the affiliate ask for it. You know last year when our account went over $100, thats when you should have.

In fact CuriousCash did not implement MPA3 until around that time (2002/2003), so it is quite possible that IF the debt is in fact owed, IT IS WITH A CCBILL ACCOUNT.

Its a MPA3 account.

So Jimmy, without seeming rude, you are a fucktard. Please feel free to take your traffic elsewhere.

Oh, thats nice.

Oh, and the village called, they want their idiot back, so off you go.

Ohhhh, nice.

I fucking well hate it when idiots post shit over multiple boards in some vain hope that there own shortcomings will be ignored when discovered.

No shortcomings here, are you looking in the mirror again?

So Jimmy, consider this the official CuriousCash response to you, on EVERY board you posted on you numbnut, as I am not even going to bother sending you a email.

I wasn't expecting to receive an email. And my nuts aren't numb.

I spend my time HELPING affiliates who need help, not hand holding morons, and I ALWAYS respond and I ALWAYS help.

Jimmy, you fail, now fuck off.

The language!

Now anyone out here who thinks this is an unreasonable approach is welcome to add their 2c and I will be more than happy to respect their opinion so long as they are happy to respect mine.

I am sure there are a LOT of program peeps out there who KNOW only too well what it is like to have some idiot go running to the boards when a contact page gives people ALL they need to get onto people in any number of ways (FYI, and to save you having to find it to try and prove me wrong - CuriousCash.com).

Of course the message sent through your contact form in your affiliate section doesn't count. And the multiple emails and forwards sent do not count either.

Jimmy, a final word of advice - sometimes it is better to stay silent and be thought an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Maybe you should have taken your own advice first.

End of Rant. And goodbye Jimmy.

:finger:

Wow, my mama always told me what people could do with that.

OH, and BTW! You should pick up yourself a copy of StatsRemote. It can read farther back into your system then you can apparently and get the stats that you can't seem to find. I loaded it up again today, and guess what, all those stats you can't find are there.

2006 - $73.45
2007 - $8.18
2008 - $21.57

So go ahead and explain to my wanker ass why I am in the wrong again? And why the name calling and language is an appropriate response from your company?

Jimmy

[derekt]

Snacks anyone?

[nicedreams]

Goodbye Jimmy.

2c + 2c

Goodbye?

That's your answer?

Why aren't you going to pay to us?

Why can't you clearly see the sales we've made like we can?

Why weren't we paid out when we should have been?

Does your company condone the language you use to someone for no reason?

Why were all the emails unanswered for 5 weeks and yet we are still wrong for posting this post?

that isnt looking good i dont think i will be using there program to promote if that is how they treat their webmasters!

[nickbaer]

Wow... that Curious whatever company is a real screw job.

[nickbaer]

A very active company here (on GWW) used lots of the same language to me a year ago regarding payouts and accounting.

[CuriousToyBoy]

There are 3 sides to any story, our side, the other side and the truth.

I am not going to be drawn into a slanging match here, as I have done on several other boards.

[nicedreams]

Still no answer. Hellooooo?

Jimmy

[derekt]

Damn, I wouldn't promote them. Especially after saying that.

[nicedreams]

Some more details on the sales we had:

04/30/06 - $12.28
05/23/06 - $11.25
07/10/06 - $15.75
08/08/06 - $16.17
12/11/06 - $18.00
03/15/07 - $8.18
12/27/08 - $21.57

So it took about 2 years and 8 months to make their minumum payment with the final sale just 3 months ago. Which means we should have been paid out in January of this year. Can you not look that up either Curious Cash?

When I first questioned about a payment, for some reason Jesse only looked at the stats for 1/1/08 - 2/24/09 and returned with "This is from 1st Jan 2008 until now. You have not yet reached the $100 minimum." And I responded, "Thanks for the response. You are not including our previous sales. We have been promoting your sites since 2004. I show we went over $100 last year and now at $103.20". And that's when the ignoring of the emails started.

I'm not sure why they aren't able to look at stats before 1/1/08. I can do it right now in their admin and go back to 1/1/05.

So again, Curious Cash, why aren't you paying our company?

Why do you go from name calling to ignoring?

Do you want me to post the screencaps of StatsRemote and *your admin section* for you so you can see the sales?

Jimmy

[nicedreams]

So I'm still waiting to hear your responses to my questions Curious Cash.

Jimmy

[nicedreams]

Here are screencaps with my proof of sales. First is all stats, followed by 2008 stats alone, 2007, 2006, and a shot of StatsRemote.



Does that help Curious Cash?
