Message I am sure with all of the talk of Fraud many of the honest hardworking members I have are frankly sick of hearing about it. I am too!

This has effected everyone industry wide. As some of you may know there are fraudulent owners in addition to fraudulent members. Sadly, all areas of fraud have taken their toll on the entire industry.

It is truly not the industry I began business in & I am very saddened to have to make some of these changes.

I have had over 10 affiliates in the last year switch to non-incentive (meaning the no longer accept GPT traffic).

I have also eaten over $50,000 in monies I was to be paid from as far back as March that I have not been paid & donot plan on seeing. These monies were all paid to members already. I can no longer continue to risk my own personal finances on these types of situations. So I will be running offers through a handful of select reliable affiliates.

Due to such a rise in fraud you will see the folowing changes take place-

-Loyalty Bonus-
This program will be shut down on November 30th at 11:59pm EST.
Please request all prizes/rewards be then.
All rewards will be processed within 45 days of the request.

-Sign Rewards-
This program will remain. However, cash & giftcards will no longer be offered as of November 30th at 11:59pm EST.

-Signup Bonus-
The Signup Bonus for new members will end on November 30th at 11:59pm EST.
The "Referral Bonus" for those of you that refer a new member will also end on November 3th at 11:59pm.


-Offers-
You will notice that majority of paid & trial offers are being removed from the site. The reason for this is that the majority of fraud is committed on these particular offers.

You will however see a HUGE increase in % shopping offers. In addition, I will be sending out a weekly inbox message that contains coupon codes, discounts, & awesome bargain items available on % shopping offers here at the site.


I appreciate all of your hard work & loyalty. I know this isn't easy for anyone but, I will work my absolute hardest to make the changes smooth for everyone so that everyone can continue to make extra cash & enjoy DBP for a very long time to come.

That's too bad. I liked DBP. I don't do alot of online shopping so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do there now.

The shopping offers I am wondering about. She is offering walmart (which we know was really difficult for some other sites to get) and Amazon.com -> they don't do incentives so I don't understand that one. I'm in a dormat stage over there so I think I will stay that way to see what goes down in the next few weeks.

 

[Schachteles]

Yeah I am thinking I will have to see how it shakes down. I am really disappointed because I did two offers (one for $50 and one for $14) and both of them got reversed MONTHS later after I cashed out. "Luckily" I had $44 in my account, but now I am $20 in the hole and need to get it taken care of...without offers I won't be able to do it. It is too bad...I am just surprised that it took her so long to get to this point.

I just got this.....
Due to such a rise in fraud I have made the following changes-
To all of my honest hardworking members this will not effect you.

You can few the full terms here-
http://dealbarbiepays.com/members/terms.php

This has been added to the Terms Of Service-
Fraud
Using fraudulent information to complete offers and/or completing offers with fraudulent intent will result in the member's account being deleted without notice and without pay. Fraud includes, but is not limited to: using stolen credit cards to complete offers; using fake information to complete offers; using information that is not their own to complete offers; using pre-paid gift and/or credit cards to complete offers; complete offers more than once; canceling offers and/or trials immediately.

While we do not share your personal information as a member of DealBarbiePays. If you are caught frauding or cheating DealBarbiePays and your account is terminated by DealBarbiePays for those reasons then your information such as your username, IP, and offers completed are NOT considered personal information, and will be shared with other site owners and/or advertisers at their request. In addition, publicly slandering DealBarbiePays if found to be fraudulent can result in legal action for slander and/or the fraudulent proof to be posted publicly for all to view.


By continuing your membership here at DBP or any DealBarbie Network sites, you are agreeing to these changes in terms.



I don't know if something big happened or if this is little stuff adding up. I do find it strange that no one on her forum is talking about this. Oh well, I only did the sign ups for other GPT sites anyway. Much easier to keep track so I don't repeat on SR.

I never have much luck anyway on DBP, so I really don't care. I had a $50.00 reversal 2 months after it was approved so I'm neg -46.00 over there right now. I did the offer legitimately (as I do all offers) but she said it was across the board reversal. I'm will not do any trials on DBP because I'm afraid of reversals and I'm trying to do the freebies to get my balance back to $0.00, but I can only get about 5-10% to credit on DBP when I get about 90% to credit on other GPT sites. I keep track of all offers and I'm not duplicating or committing fraud, so I have no idea why I can't get the stuff to credit on DBP.

WOW is about all I can say to that

I agree, I tried to get my balance up over the past few days...MUCH more being denied. It is frustrating, but I am going to spend the next month working to get it back up to even.
