@ll@dvantage sucks [rant + poll]

[G41184b]

After several months of use of this "pay-to-surf" service I have determined it to be fraudulent. They have never once sent me a check, and are now trying to delete my account balance because of "multiple accounts". Now obviously I am trying to fight this decision because I have only ever used one account with their service. I have 4 referrals also using this service that are personal friends and I would feel bad if because of recent financial troubles @ll@dvantage makes up some bull$hlt excuse to take their money away too. I would advise any of you thinking about using @ll@dvantage or using it now to think twice whether running that resource hogging viewbar and restricting your screen size while service is worth all the hassle for no money.
I would like all your messageboard opinions to be put into the poll.

I've been using it for almost a year now, and I've gotten my checks right on time. So I can't really complain.

I used to use all advantage but I noticed that the only way to make real money is by having hundreds of referells

FYI, I did receive one check for like $15

I use it. I get paid.

I have referrals. I get paid.

I used it a bit in Q1 and Q2 of last year and made a total of 55 $US, but after they changed their hour limit to 20 and the rate to .2/hour I just quit. Its not worth it.

It is possible to make a ton of $$$ through referals, but I found that most people weren't willing to go to all the trouble with the viewbar, etc. I tried to get some of my friends as referals, but there were no takers. Many were fearful (perhaps justifiably) that their activities would be tracked on the web.

You're about the 20th person I've heard in the last day say that AA is accusing you of fraud. They regularly pull this garbage, it's almost like clockwork with them. Once they start having money problems, they thin the herd by accusing members of fraud and deactivating their accounts. I have two friends who got the letter a few months ago, and even after they worked it out, AA basically said, "well, since you made us investigate you, we're keeping the money you had accumulated anyway and you can start over with $0".

Good luck, you'll need it with these guys. They themselves admit they won't ever turn a profit and laid off a bunch of people not long ago. Sounds like more layoffs coming.
