Blogsvertise a Paid to Blog company get cheated by customer

Posted by | December 29, 2006 | Fraud, Uncategorized

I got a letter from one of the companies I wrote from today and it said

Hi there,

I was just checking through some of the blog entries for the Blogsvertise campaign that got cancelled recently (the one for http://www.xxebdesignoffice.us/) and I saw that you still had mention of this company in your blog. I really want to stress the importance, for bloggers and paid-blogging companies like Blogsvertise, of taking down mention of this company’s website. One of the main reasons for advertisers buying blog posts is to gain publicity for their company. Since this company did not fulfill their obligations to Blogsvertise or our bloggers, we don’t want to give them any continued publicity. Thanks and Happy New Year!

I immediately asked friends in the DP Forum if the have seen anything like this and one member said he always had to pay upfront so I got very confused.

One of the staff from Blogsvertise answer me in the forum like this

We are not pulling a fast one. The advertiser did pay us and then called his credit card company after he got his blog entries and disputed the charges. There is no way we could continue to help his website by having the blog entries up with reviews and links.

I am really sorry for the email I had to send out I know this will really disappoint some of our bloggers but I did want to say that we do charge advertisers upfront and we are sorry we had to do this.

I must say it’s a very bold move from the company in question getting a service and then when it’s all done asking for the money back from the Credit card Company and this is not the only story I heard about this. It’s difficult to prove that you actually did the job and you can never face the customer or present a physical item to prove it.

The paid to blog company have to do something to protect them selves because bloggers want to get paid and not sit and delete old blogs.
