Webmaster Checks situation?
 

Anyone know what's really going on with this?

Their funds are frozen from the Department of Justice wtf! :eek:

Just got emails from Pimp Boss, Gossip Kings, DDF Cash, Clockwork Cash, Idol Bucks, Sapphic Cash and Ama Kings about this, I'm sure more will be coming in too

Yes, I got a few emails today regarding it as well. No clue what the issue or offense was but I have a few checks that I hadn't gotten around to depositing that I have to send back to the originating sponsors. Not good...

I guess this is their official statement on GFY

I'm banned, so I don't know what it's saying there lol

Here ya go Jay...

Thanks Chris, yea this is such an unfortunate situation uggh, late payouts for all :(

The word is that they are related to Brazzers. (owned by?) and as you know, the DOJ has frozen millions of dollars of their capital. I am not a huge believer in coincidences involving such huge amounts.

I'm pretty sure Webmasterchecks is not owned by Brazzers. Brazzers is a Canadian company and webmasterchecks is in Arizona. DOJ probably froze their accounts after tracing large payments from Brazzers, which is under investigation for money laundering.

I am not sure this is going to be a simple fix. Most people are saying its a quick fix once the agent gets back but webmasterchecks may have been a blind participant if Brazzers was actually involved in something criminal, which I doubt.

Brazzers is not having a very good week...

Ouch!!! In Thai we say "som nam na" like, they had it coming to em, karma

You are probably right about ownership. But they did know they were doing business with a very dodgy company. I mean everyone knew that. But a lot of people are going to feel the fallout from this. But I get a feeling this is the tip of the iceberg. The ball is rolling and this is DOJ, which due to the fact this is a money laundering investitgation, will have a lot of overseas law enforcement co operation unlike the IRS. I would not want to be a participant in this debacle at any level. You can bet the feds are sniffing around and looking for financial tracks and a lot of collateral damage is yet to come. WMC is only the first I think.

Still waiting on payouts, some are week late now :(
FUCK

I just got an email from Sapphic Cash saying that webmaster checks accounts are now unfrozen

I'm still not getting any epass payouts :(

Anyone know wtf is going on yet?

Apparently a portion of their accounts have been unfrozen but there is still an issue with Bank Of America. Hopefully it will all be worked out soon.

I'm really shocked into disbelief how long this is really carrying on for, I mean, now it's on the 2nd payouts that we are not getting from these sponsors

I swear, if by the 3rd payment I don't get all payouts caught up from these sponsors I will pull 100% of my traffic to them and only promo ccbill/epoch/verotel sites

This is just ridiculous

Come on guys, you know that when the money disappears, it is never to be seen again with everyone pointing fingers and affiliates hanging on to faint hope. Netpond was a great example. I lost 25K to 2000 Charge when they lost their merchant account, promised to pay, never did. They are still around but never hear from them and no check has arrived. I guess it is still in the mail. An age old internet porn story.

Yep. I hear you. I have a few sponsors right now (one usenet) that have missed payments in addition to the Webmaster Checks that I have sitting here. Its been a damn struggle. I am almost considering dropping everything else unless its processed by CCbill.

Can somebody please paste the info from post 164 on this thread? http://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=9647...hecks &page=4
I heard it lists all the adult sponsors using webmaster checks
thanks
(i cant see it, we all know why hehe, maybe i should get unbanned....hmmmm....nahhhh fuck them)

My other friend, showed me this

Make sure ya'll getting paid from them all!!

Thanks for the link J...

I have a few thousand bucks in worthless checks sitting here and another sponsor has missed the $700+ payment to me. I am starting to get a little fucking bitter :)

Dude I'm bitter too, been keep hearing this bullshit "payment coming in couple days, few days blah blah blah" and weeks and more weeks go fucking by

It's really past due to pull links, I'm still waiting for these payouts, wondering when they'll pay, worrying are they going to pay, FUCK i hate this shit

In my experience...from past fuck ups like 2000 Charge (they owe me $25,000.00)...they won't pay. Must move on. Look what happened at Netpon*. Aga just did a runner with all the marbles and they still, for months, didn't get the fact that they got shafted. And the sheep still post there. Give up hope and pull the links. Why send business to anyone who does not pay? When they pay, put up the links. Otherwise, it is a total waste of traffic and they are laughing at you all the way to the bank. Total disrespect.

Good point, Greg from Mission Dollars, he looks to have done "a runner" too

I will not put anymore links to these nonpaying sponsors til I'm paid up to date

Its like any other business, when they stop returning your calls, its all over. The fat lady has sung and man is she singing a lot lately.
Its becoming obvious with all the failures of late, that those who can do, and those who can't, fail. And those who never could still rant and rave and pretend. It is a tough climate. Even in our end of the biz, there are a lot of failures. There are some who just weren't good enough. There were some who moved masses of junk traffic and failed, then there are the pragmatists who press on regardless. An awful lot of people moving on to new opportunities in the past couple of weeks.....sad to see. Maybe its the thinning of the herd that has been so widely predicted.....for the last ten years.

This supposedly posted at GFY:

"This is to update you on the Epassporte payout status.

As of this morning WMC has been barred from dealing with ePass supposedly due to their involvement with the gaming industry.

We were waiting for the approval on our in-house payment system for the past two weeks (corp, ePass account, banking) and this was finally 100% completed this morning. We've sent wires for funding the account and everyone will be caught up on 3/31 and 4/15 by Wednesday for all payment methods. Checks and wires will be handled by WMChecks as usual and ePasses will come from us."

interesting....I can't post at gfy so I can't read anything

LOL, js69, why are you banned too? I'm also banned there
fuck gfy
if anyone has more info please post here

J. everyone from LW are banned from Gfy :D

I have strong "opinions"

We are just a big group of outkasts!!!

By the way, back to the topic of webmaster checks sponsors not paying...

Today I received a bundle of epass payouts from various sponsors, (Thank Gawd!!!)

Most sponsors are paid up, but a lot still owe and have failed to catchup in payouts so far, still waiting, give it a few more days

How about you guys? Getting anything?
