Clixgalore.com is a FRAUD program - Beware!

funexa · 03-06-2008, 05:00 AM

Hello All,

Last year I joined with clixgalore.com, a fraud affiliate network based in Australia. I promoted their offers and earned about $325 within few days, even I invested about 40% of the earned amount in advertising.

Their minimum payout is $50, and they pay monthly through Paypal. I am still not paid from them! I am following up for the payments for last 4 months, no response at all!

I have written at least 30 mails, I have not got a single reply! My account is still active, but they are not paying!

I have discussed with many webmasters, many of them told me the same story! They have cheated thosands of affiliates so far. As they are based in Australia, it is very difficult to bring them under the scanner of the laws.

Can anybody suggest me how do I get my hard earned money from these nasty cheaters?

I also have the same bad experience with checkmystats.com.au. I've earned more than $1200 but they only paid me $83. Be aware of this.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I just randomly got an email saying "Notice of Payment Received - eCheck - ClixGalore.com"

Can't even remember how long ago it was I was even promoting one of their merchants

Oh well, at least one of us got paid

I struggled with getting payment recently (see past 2 months), but found out the error to be mainly on my behalf. Their sign-up email on file is actually the PayPal address they pay to and I was using a different one.

That being said after only 2 emails and great communication on their behalf I was paid immediately, in full. So, no issues for me so far and I will continue to promote their products.

The network's merchants typically don't tend to be the strongest. I think it only costs $75 or so to join as a merchant, so you get a bunch of random small shops trying to get into the affiliate marketing game through this network. The big merchants typically roll with Performics, CJ, or Linkshare.

I have been paid by clixgalore once; but I think their tracking of clicking is not so good

Just thought I should say, don't let this sour you on Australian's in general...

Seriously though, I had a chat with the clixgalore guys a while back... long while now that I think about it.
They have good intentions, but not the technical mastery to really be able to implement things.

One of the biggest hurdles is Australia's bizarre taxation requirements.
Didn't really pay attention to the specifics. 2nd jug of Boags by that time. Something to do with ABNs I think.
