Traffic Hoopla – Income Claims

A Traffic Hoopla Member Making Income Claims
Traffic Hoopla – Income Claims
I am putting this out here for information only. it is not intended to be an article about bashing Traffic Hoopla at all. It seems strange that Traffic Hoopla is allowing its members to do this and it may be flying under the radar of the Admin(s) over there.
It looks like this member of Traffic Hoopla is paying people for joining the program under him/her. One thing I don’t get is how the member is getting the signup data from the new downline member so they can get paid.
According to the Traffic Hoopla Privacy Policy they do not share any member data with any sources other than themself. So, if this is true the income claim has to be a scam of some sort because there would be no way for the program sponsor to gather the payout information. Does that make sense? Maybe i am way off base here but it looks strange.
Hopefully, this is a rouge member (maybe soon to be ex-member) that is just out of their mind. but, from a legal standpoint this pratice of sharing downline commissions (with the downline) doesn’t seem quite right.
I am not a member of Traffic Hoopla so I have no open line of communication with them at this time. Maybe someone that is might want to point out what is going on so Traffic Hoopla can take a look at it. I feel that those that have been working on the Internet for a while should look out for one another. When false advertising or unethical advertising is found we should notify each other.

For anyone interested in traffic hoopla save your money.
they ripped my off for 85.00
i had 10.00 in the shopping cart until i pressed buy. then i had 85.00.
they refused to refund anything.
This doesn’t sound like something they would do over there. I always imagined they were more customer service orientated. There seems to be something missing in the information chain for it to be going to the point of no refund.
If you paid with PayPal or another processor you can request your money to be refunded with the processor. Most if not all payment processors have a 30-day refund policy regardless of what the website refund policy states. It seems strange to me that they (Hoopla) will not give you a refund based on what you wrote.
Your post seems to indicate you talked with the admin over there and you got nowhere. If you didn’t talk with the admin, I would do it ASAP. I am sure eveything can be put straight.
Good Luck!
Take Care,
Phil
Admin – you are right, not anything we would do at Traffic Hoopla. Excellent customer service is a top priority here.
Ted contacted us on Dec 14, and I personally and immediately responded. We have no products/services at those prices, and no transactions of any kind from this person. Their message was short and vague, similar to what they posted here, and I asked for more info. They again demanded a refund, but provided no info of any kind, and there were no transactions from this person.

Hi Bill;
Thanks for adding your comments…
I figured it all sounded kind of hokey.
I wonder if Ted didn’t get caught up in some sort of scam a third party is running. I guess it wouldn’t be hard to phish a web page to look like one of yours and then do the scam.
Many people use “Multiple tabs” to surf TE’s and tracing down the scammer would be hard if the user didn’t try to break out of frames before making the purchase.
I hope Ted got things straightened out by now as this is almost a month later. Maybe he went to the payment processor to find out where his money went to. You didn’t get it, for sure.
And to everybody reading these comments here. Let this be an example of how easy, if you are not careful, it is to get ripped off. Bill clearly states he didn’t get the payment. Ted said he was sure the payment went to Hoopla. There is a disconnect somewhere. i would never call Bill or Ted liars. They both know the facts as they see them.
It looks like there was a third party involved in the transaction that wasn’t the payment processor. Teds money went somewhere if it didn’t go to Hoopla. At this point Ted should talk with the payment processor to see where it went to. Hopefully, there is still time to get the payment reversed.
Everybody needs to be careful in these hard economic times when making payments on the Internet. More and more people are looking to the Internet for the extra or primary income they need to exisit. This brings scammers along with those wanting to make an ethical income. Know who you are sending payments to and protect yourself from being like Ted.
I would never try to speak for Bill but, from what I know of him and Hoopla if you see some sort of deal you would like to purchase from Hoopla send Bill a e-mail or contact him on his blog to see if it was him that is making the offer. I feel he would still honor the deal if you didn’t purchase it with the specific sales page where you saw the deal.
The reason why I say contact Bill first is because it looks like there is a scammer among us. Someone that needs to be found. Until then trust only what you know and what you have doubled checked. Bill is a good guy, he’ll understand.
You don’t want to end up like Ted trying to find out who actually got your money.
Take Care,
Phil
