Ladies and gentlemen, this company apparently never learns from its mistakes and is quite intent on bilking any blogger who is trusting enough to sign up with them.
Meet Connie, she did a post with them in November and still hasn’t been paid nearly 3 months later! You might remember the ordeal I had to go […]

By now if I say “Strawberry Plugs” I’m certain the phrase that pops into your head is “scam artist”. After the ordeal I’ve had to go through and the complete lack of communication on her end I’m inclined to believe that that phrase is not quite harsh enough. But at last it has all come […]

You know I’m always all for helping out a fellow webmaster, especially fanlisting owners. Sometimes by the time you’re done with getting the layout and coding up and running before a deadline you lack the time and creative energy to make a wide selection of graphical buttons to link with. I know there have been […]

It’s Tuesday, October 2nd, and still I have heard nothing back from the owner of Strawberry Plugs in regards to the advertising slots I purchased on her site.

Statement about Bloggerwave
We are fully aware […]

I just got this email from Bloggerwave today:
We are having some Issue with our paypal address so we are facing some problem while we are paying the bloggers we notify this to paypal and we will make the payment as soon as possible as the problem fixed .
Uh-huh, that’s an interesting way of saying you […]

And so the quest to receive compensation continues. The whole mess with Bloggerwave has yet to be resolved despite my steady deluge of emails and contact forms. The really sad thing is that from the looks of it people are still signing up with this company despite its false promises.
Opal, Tim, and Kai are […]

I just logged into my email account a few minutes ago and I was met with this beautiful message:

Dear Concerned Member,Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Piczo takes abuse complaints
very seriously. We have cancelled the inappropriate site.

Well it has now been three days since I was made aware of the audacity of one webmaster who goes by the name of “Luke Ward”. For those who haven’t been around in a bit here’s a bit of a recap. The webmaster known as Luke Ward decided that in order to make his […]
