If you are able to look the following information over and let me know what you think
and if there is any possibility of "justice" being done I'd appreciate it immensely.
Thanks and God Bless.
I had signed up with AllAdvantage.com in May of 1999 and devoted approximately 1
1/2 years to building my 'organization' via the company's refferrel program. In
case you are unfamiliar with Alladvantage.com I will explain it to you.
Alladvantage.com is a company that pays its associates for downloading a "Banner
Bar Program" and then loading that program up on their computer so they can watch
advertisements. They basically pay by the following method. I get 50 cents per
hour (up to 25 hours a month) for myself surfing, I get 10 cents per hour for my
DIRECT referrels (up to 25 hours), and 5 cents per hour for my INDIRECT referrels
(up to 25 hours a month). This was the policy until a recent change which dropped
the maximum hours from 25 to 15 hours (which in itself is an injustice since when
they first began they promised all of us 40 hours per month 'very soon'). They pay
you this and all you have to do is be actively surf the web with their ViewBar Software
open. It doesn't sound like a lot of money, but when you start signing up numerous
amounts of referrels it really adds up.
Basically I have developed a downline/organization of approximately 810 referrels.
They didn't even start paying us for surfing until August of 1999 (I had to wait
several months). Things have been good and I was receiving my checks until around
June. My First checks were between $25-$40. The last REAL check I received was
for $301.00 and the next was suppose to be for $500+.
Basically I received an email stating that I was under investigation for "fraud"
and so were my referrels. So they basically locked up my entire account until it
was 'resolved'. About a week later, after the 'investigation' started they stated
that several of my downline was found using 'fraudulant' techniques to earn money
and that they would take appropriate action. They then informed me that my $500+
check had been 'corrected' and the new total was approximately $130.00. The next
month the same thing occured and my check went from $200+ to $30.00, Now I don't
make more then $15/month. They also locked up a LARGE portion of my downline, causing
my monthly income to plummet. In essence I did nothing wrong but they punished me...
Basically I feel that they inappropriate seized rightfully earned compensation for
my services. I was promised a certain amount of payment for a certain service.
I held up my end up the bargain only to have them accuse me and my referrels of fraudlent
activity, and punishing us both. They did not even give me the opportunity to contest
this, or even help my referrels defend themselves.
I also feel that they invaded not only my privacy, but the privacy of my entire refferrel
organization. How exactly were they able to Scan a person's computer, log what software
the person was operating, save it, and then send that information back to the company?
If they were doing such things would it not be a breach of internet privacy? After
this entire incident I was appauled and felt violated. I have very important information
such as credit card numbers, financial records and even personal account passwords
on my system. THE ONLY way they could have discovered 'fraud' occuring anywhere
is by logging a person's PRIVATE system usage via scanning program signatures and
usage. This indeed violates my personal privacy and in iteself breaks the law, am
I correct?
Another important fact I found out through personal research is that Alladvantage.com
may have to file for BankRuptcy by January 1, 2001 if they don't "stretch" their
funds. In my opinion, this would explain the drop from 25 maximum surf hours to
15, and also the sudden 'witch hunt' in disabling accounts. If my information (via
Stock Holder's Relations) is current they have approximately $48,000,000 to "stretch."
In my opinion they are intentionally taking away rightfully earned money in order
to 'stretch' funding...
Basically I feel betrayed, cheated, victimized, and trespassed against. They have
taken advantage of me in order to 'stretch' their funding. I have invested 1 1/2
years of hard work into this company only to have what i have rightfully earned taken
from me. They have affected me financially, physically and emotionally through all
their inappropriate acts. Due to my drop in income I've been basically trying to
make ends meet. My "solid income" has virtually disappeared...
Their business
practices are unethical and scamming.
If you took the time to look this over I appreciate it immensely. I would be grateful
if you could give me some advice or opinions on the current matter. Am i suppose
to file for my money or do I sue or press charges for privacy infringement? I know
that internet law is a new developing and emerging field, but I need some help.
I feel that many more have also been taken advantage of, but are unable to do anything
about it, or are just not motivated to do so. I just know that I am, and I would
like justice to be done. Due to the fact of my income dropping significantly it
is difficult for me to pursue it legally very much. Hence I'm turning to you. Thanks
and God Bless.
I also believe that there are litereally thousands who have had the same thing done
to them, and I hope to be able to right this injustice. Thanks Again.
