I have to laugh reading some of these threads where posts include statements like; "Has anybody been paid from highriskpharmacy? I haven't been paid since May."
Exactly how long do you wait to stop sending a program more traffic once your payment is past due? 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 60 days, 90 days?
Personally, if a program misses a scheduled payment and the affiliate manager has a reasonable explanation and a decent track record I'll give them a chance to redeem themselves. If a program misses a payment and no one replys to your emails or has no track record then they are done. To allow sales to continue for more than what you've been paid for, or not paid for, is just ridiculus. Not like you don't really know what's happening now is it?
I may be wrong but I think it has to do with greed. You make $500 to $2,000 the first week selling their meds and figure; "Cool, I got a great converting program!" But if you never see that money what difference does it make? The only one getting fat is the scumbag who ain't paying you. Besides, with some of these programs, it's not like you know where to find them or who to even go after (should have been your first clue that a problem was about to occur).
For a group of people who are so aggressive when it comes to high incomes, it amazes me that this is allowed to happen again, and again, and again. We need to form a "collection" agency consisting of hard hitting, bat carring, no neck types who's only mission in life is to track these people down, turn them upside down, and shake the money loose. Then, just maybe, the message will be sent that if you plan on scamming your affiliates it's going to be a very painful experience.
Hey, this is the drug business after all!
