May I ask where there is an advertisement after they click my ad and before the go to my page. This was NOT mentioned in your initial sales details. Please remove this. If a visitor clicks our links we want them to go to our site not be shown an ad. Who else agrees that has purchased?

It must probably be an interstial (sp?) ad, which shows up at certain times. It might not show up everytime you click your link, unless thats how it is set up to do.

[dumb-diddy-doo]

Buyer Beware

What constitutes a "TOP SPOT" when you have outside / external links through-out all of your menue's, including the menu right above a sponsor spot in the main menu? If you are redirecting users to external sites before they even make it to the sponsor links, chances for clicks for the sponsors are very unlikely. It would be different if all external links were within specified sections.

Guess I am clueless as to what a "Top Spot" might consist of. I guess next time I consider buying a link I will have to look closely at every link on a site and where they are located. Personally I feel as though selling a link as a TOP SPOT under these circustance is misleading and unfair. I am guessing the traffic from a site such as this will be extremely low under these circumstances.

Wont do this again.

He has is set to do it on an exit I guess because I got it also. It's freakin BS.

And just as my last post assumes, I am getting no traffic from his site.
I asked for a refund and he stopped responding.

I agree, I am not geting any traffic either. I know I wasnt going to expect much with Hi5 Layouts as my anchor but I should be getting some. This is BS! We should all get refunds.

[omen]

Another thing to watch for. Sites selling links with interstitials! So they get the money from the link purchase, and the advertisers money when they click your link.

Not a top spot. Thanks for the heads up!

[dumb-diddy-doo]

Yeah this is damn BS!

Well I left him negative itrader but I want a damn refund. This is total BS. Of course we are not getting any traffic. 1.) The users are being directed off site before they ever even see our links because there are links above ours. I sure didn't get a freakin TOP SPOT with this kind of BS. 2.) The interstitial ads running on a exit is a total turn off.

If he does not refund my money I am going to start a PayPal dispute and lock up his account. This is freakin BS. I paid 100.00 and I am getting nothing in return.

WHAT! :eek: He came online and didn't bother responding to anyone or on his topic? Well I guess that only proves that the little creep knew he was messing us over. And of course it's obviouse now that he has no intentions on making it right with anyone either. :hammer:

*insert angry curse words here*

Oh Brother, I so dislike to online bash.
I got 9 hits from him in 4 days, what a joke ROFL.
I also have sent him PMS and I noticed yesterday that he was online.
He didn't even answer me :2guns:.
Lesson learned.

[mcfox]

Oh well, I'm fairly sure it will be the last time anyone ever buys a link.

I guess what one might call "online bashing" another might call "informing and warning others". Yes maybe he walked away with all of our money, but we dont have to allow this sort of thing to happen to others. If we do, don't we become as much responsible when MSP becomes a cesspool for people like this?

I am new here. I lost $200.00 in two days here. Personaly I would rather people speak out so that we can keep this communitee a possitive place to do business verses a place where people want to do business yet just become targets for scammers.

my 2cents

[JustSimplyC]

I agree, with you 100%.
You are in your right, and you did the right thing. :)
I was just giving him a chance to make it right.
Since he hasn't, I spoke out as well.
This is very unacceptable and a shame, that this is going on in here :(

I think mcx is the same guy who on this forum was literally begging people for money - I am not kidding -

and there was one more thread where kenzie actually gave the guy $20, and it sucks that this is how he repays the forum members.

#1. His ad is setup to go off when someone clicks on something on his site. It isn't necessarily going to show up when someone clicks your link. They may have viewed a few pages on his site already and got the ad, then click your link, and the ad does not show up. The only reason you guys are seeing it is because you're going to his site and simply clicking your link and nothing else on his site.

#2. He did not promise any traffic or make any guarantees on the amount of traffic you'll receive (unless he did through PM's?). He simply said, "This is where your link will go, this is the price, and this is how much traffic my site receives." You're purchasing at your own discretion.

#3. In terms of "Top Spot", he never said you were going to get a "Top Spot" on the site. He said there are 10 spots for sale under the SPONSORS heading. He clearly stated that in his original post.

With that being said, you learned a lesson. Make sure someone guarantees a particular amount of traffic or something. Obviously getting 9 people in 4 days is a HORRIBLE deal and certainly would not constitute a rebuy. BUT you can't act as he lied or deceived anyone.

Of course, if he is a good business man, he will take the proper steps to ensure everyone is happy.

To my way of thinking the word would be 'misled'. $640 total in link sales and all the buyers get for their money is a 1 month link with little or no traffic thanks to the interstitials. There is absolutely no benefit to be had in terms of a search engine boost because the duration of the link is only one month. So in both respects the links are useless.

A good businessman would have taken steps to address either the interstitials or the link duration or both and/or would have offered a refund, imo.

I am not simply clicking my link, when you click on the other links.
The whole "Sponsors" section is gone, disappeared.
I mean really this is not what I paid for :(

I have a feeling it isn't the interstitials that are the reason they aren't getting traffic. As I said, most users aren't going to go to his main page and immediately click a link out. Most will go to at least one or 2 other pages at which point they would have already received the interstitial and it wouldn't effect the link at all.

A good businessman would have taken steps to address either the interstitials or the link duration or both and/or would have offered a refund, imo.

Maybe he will, give him a chance. The link duration isn't bad. If the link received 50k hits in a day, its worth the $ for a single day. In terms of SEO, that single link can help believe it or not. I have a site that when I need to boost another sites rank, I link to it with particular anchor text and in a matter of days I rank highly for those terms.

Sometimes a bit more research is required on the buyers part. They could clearly see there were interstitials on the site. They knew where the link was going and they chose to buy without doing any of their own research. That isn't necessarily his fault.

Now since I do not know this guy from jack, I am not going to defend him anymore. I'm just making the point that sometimes the buyers need to ask more questions or scout around a bit more. Nothing was hidden, I'm sure he had links on his site before.

It's like buying a house sight unseen then walking in and finding out there is nothing in the house. No toilets, no appliances, no cabinets, no nothing. A simple walk-through of the house would have cleared up any confusion but the buyer neglected to do so first. Or if you buy a used car off someone without your mechanic inspecting it, and it breaks down, it isn't necessarily the other persons fault.

As I said man, I agree with you. He should offer a refund or he should CERTAINLY make some changes because it is a bad deal. However, not all the blame is to be put on him I guess is what I'm getting at.

AHH well hell, if he removed the sponsors section absolutely! That is wrong! NOW it makes sense why the traffic is so crappy. It's not a sitewide link, it's simply a frontpage link in a mediocre spot. Now THAT is something that should have been address from the beginning.

[rob]

Looking at the first post and his site, I don't see anything wrong with it or why people are complaining.

Regarding the interestial: it's impossible for him to trigger it to happen right when any of your links are clicked. It is random, and if you click your link right when going to his site, you'll probably get it.

I think I have the right to complain, I have sent him PMS.
He has been online and not replied.


Also once again, I'm not clicking my link once I get on his site.
When I click another link on his site, the whole "Sponsors"
section disappears, totally gone.

[lyzyrdgyzyrd]

Well to start with, this cat is charging a banner rate for a miniscule text link on a very busy page.

And interference by/competition with interstitial ads is something that should have been mentioned to prospective link buyers.

Then he completely ignores messages?

The folks who complained out in the open did so, so that others would not waste their time on something that does not present fair value for their money.

If this offer was presented on one of the pro webmaster forums, the guy would have gotten spanked from here to Iceland and back again without a passport.

Well he obviously has no backbone or ethics to come in here and discuss a way to possibly resolve this. He knowingly mislead everyone. Really the only resolution is to refund everyones money which he probably no longer has. But the fact that he can continue to come on here at all is absolutely insane.

I am out 200 in two days. My feelings about all of this depends on how MSP handles it. I do not hold MSP responsible in anyway for what jerks like this do to others users on this site. But how MSP handles users that do this sort of thing does matter to me. If you allow this user to continue to troll this forum, contact possibly others through PM so he can screw them over, then you are allowing this sort of thing to happen. And then that will make you just as guilty.

:no:

[dumb-diddy-doo]

So how many times will MSP allow MCX to come online without responding and cotninue to screw your its site users before you do anything? He has a history of messing people over, is this acceptable? I personally don't think so.

http://www.myspacepros.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5320&highlight=mcx

[JustSimplyC]

I have signed on today 3 times and out those times he was online twice.
I send him a PM, and no response, I know he has to be reading them.
So annoying! :punchout:

[dumb-diddy-doo]

Others have seen him on AIM and he totally ignored the AIM Messages as well. He has no intentions on paying anyone back or even responding to his shady dealings on here. So my question is this:

How many times will MCX be allowed to dupe MCP users out of their money before he is removed from the site?

It appears he has a history here as it is. And for all we know he is still initiating dealings in PM's with other users. I personally am afraid and feel as though this sets MCP up to be a breeding ground for scammers. =(

[nsmchris]

I understand everyones anger on this especially with $xxx figures, but he has thrown up numerous warning signs here and on DP for the past few months. I'm pretty sure he was banned here for a while. I'm sure his pp account is empty by now. But if he is banned now, he would never be able to answer for these new scams. No matter how tight Greg and the mods run this place, some scams are going to happen. When someone is begging for $20 a few weeks ago and then is trying to sell $800 in links, its caveat emptor.

I do hope he comes back and does the right thing, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Good luck.

[geg2]

The point people have been making in the last couple replies has been that he ignores PMs and AIM.

As far as his being able to communicate with all his customers, he should have received an email from the Paypal every time a payment was sent to him. That email would have the email of the person paying. Conversely, his customers have his Paypal email address, which is certainly a valid email address.

So I think it is time for a mod to ban him. He has scammed others on this forum prior to this thread.

I haven't purchased from this thread and am breaking a marketplace rule but just wanted to express my thoughts.

[morgan]

I tried to warn everyone about him 4-5 weeks ago but all i got in return was warning points. So i thought it wasnt worth trying to something about it. Maybe if the mods had have looked into it this wouldnt have happened.

[JustSimplyC]

You got warning points? For warning.
That's just crazy :no:.

[dumb-diddy-doo]

All because this sort of thing "will always happen", doesnt mean that MSP has to sit by and do nothing about it, just allowing it to continue to happening either. Where is the sanity in that?

The user should be banned for good. It's upsetting to hear that he had been banned in the past and cotninues to come in here scamming the unknowing / unaware newer users.

Allowing a user such as this to troll these forums will only encourage more scammers and scamming. How much money has to be lost before MSP bans him for good? Had he been banned before permanently, maybe I and the others could have been spared the loss seeing how he was obviously known for this sort of thing.

What is the tollerance policy here on scamming users?
If there is none, let me get my deed out for that property I own in Vegas.

I have work to do since I am launching a new gadget next week so I am out of here for the night. I apolize if anyone finds my post to be inapprorpiate in any way. But I think allowing scammers to troll your boards to scam others is more inappropriate when they have done this before.

*steps off soap box" I am done with this topic. :(

[dumb-diddy-doo]

Here is how much MCX cares about scamming everyone.

He still has the ba**s to come on here and wheel and deal. I guess he know MSP will DO NOTHING. Boy if that isn't a slap in the face MSP. Makes you all look kind of all wrong in this. You said you are monitoring this? For what? To slap the wrist of those who become upset while your boy MCX runs around like nothing ever happen?
