Greetings to all and sundry!
This is my first post, so I hope I am not about to get off on the wrong foot, step on toes, upset, anger, annoy or in any way antagonize anyone. I'm here to suss out the truth (hense my moniker).
Let me first say that I am an MTT affiliate/client who is using a pen-name because I have read that MTT has terminated the accounts of people who dare to ask too many questions or post "negative" comments on boards such as this one. I'm here because the more research I do on MTT, the shakier they look. I'm here because I really, honestly believe I got scammed and I'm trying to found out if I'm just being paranoid.
Even though the Scam.com thread on MTT may be hard to take and overwhelmingly negative, I highly recommend people take a look at that thread (links somewhere above in this thread, I believe). There are reasons it is so negative! Let's take perhaps the single most damning piece of evidence from that thread. According to research done by Scam.com members, MTT has the exact same int'l bank account number as Monopolizer.com. Now, I'm too new to the online business thing (though I've had websites for years), to know Monopolizer.com, but I understand that everybody agrees it was a massive scam.
The above is just one small example from dozens. There are far too many indicators that MTT is a scam to list here. Indeed, most of them can be found enumerated (with supporting "evidence") at the above mentioned Scam.com thread, so I won't reiterate them. My main reason for being here right now, under an assumed name, is to ask everybody one simple question:
WHERE'S THE BEEF?
MTT claims to have thousands of customers. They say they have made over 2 BILLION dollars for their clients in the last few years. They are saying they made 8.5 million from their 15% cut in the month of February alone!
Tom, you say people are "doing well" with MTT. Well, what does that mean? I see you are heavily promoting MTT. Do you have concrete evidence of some kind to validate this statement?
I just heard from an affiliate acquaintance that MTT is NOT going to pay him his commission check this month. Some malarky about him "not being in the United States." Well, he's in Australia, and last I checked "down under" is part of the larger British Commonwealth. It's as if I said I couldn't pay you for a month because we're in different states of the USA. Huh? What?
This is the first concrete firsthand evidence, yay or nay, that I have seen. I realize this is now second hand to you, dear reader, but I'm trying to convince my new acquaintance to post. I think he's waiting until he knows absolutely "for sure" that he is screwed. Me? I'm 99.5% sure he's screwed.
And that's the way I feel about MTT now. To all affiliates and clients, we are 99.5% certain screwed! I wish I was wrong. I hope I will be proved wrong. But I'm pretty darn sure I'm right.
Think about this. How come, in the vast sea that is the Internet, not ONE person has come forward with verifiable proof that they have "had success" with MTT? I've searched (as have others) for posts, blogs, etc. to no avail (though there are *plenty* out there hyping MTT). MTT says they have been in business for quite a number of years now – first as CommissionHQ, supposedly, though that URL was first registered only a few years ago and has never had any significant traffic to speak of, according to Alexa.com. How come there are none, zero, no postings by anyone, anywhere touting how great they are? You would expect, if nothing else, that affiliates making money signing people up would be positively SHOUTING about how great MTT is so as to get more signups! But there is not a single one.
Some would say that those who have had success have no incentive to crow about it. Come on! This argument is specious on many fronts (one of example of why is above). Not least of which is the simple old saw, but true, that people talk. And to those who would say that this very statement is proof that MTT has done what they've said, I would submit this: the real MTT (not the one they lie... er, hype about) has only been "up and running" for a few months now. Those of us who foolishly "bought in" are the guinea pigs in this short con. To mix metaphors badly, the chickens are just about to come home to roost. In my opinion, the MTT scammers will be in the Carribean or Eastern Europe about the time all of our sites are about to "go live."
Even if money/privacy is the issue, there are other ways to "prove" MTT does what it says it does. The "proof" consists of nothing more than a website that was doing little traffic before MTT and is now showing oceans of traffic after (via Alexa.com, of course). Heck, according to Alexa.com, MTT's own site didn't start to get significant traffic until about a month or so ago. And not to beat a dead horse, but if they are so super successful, why is it that their own business didn't seem to be doing anything until very recently? Again, according to Alexa, they didn't seem to even have an active website until November/December of last year. How is it that they are making millions for clients but had not one but two "dead" websites less than a year ago?
Further, if they are making so much money, why is it they can't afford a real phone or real customer support personnel? $8.5 buys a lot of staff. Nobody I know has ever reached them on Skype. They claim to have 45 webmasters. How come nobody has ever heard of anyone other than the mysterious and illusive "Simon Baxter" and his erstwhile assistant Jean? Why are they operating out of a mail drop? 45 WMs and support staff would require a real building. Heck, most super-successful companies I'm familiar with are *proud* to show off their facilities. I don't know of too many super-successful companies that are this hard to get ahold of and even more difficult to find.
I could go on. Once again, the crux of this post is simple...
WHERE'S THE BEEF?
I look forward to hearing from any and all. But if you're going to defend MTT, I would really like to see something concrete. Show me the massive traffic boost to your site via Alexa. Show me a PayPal deposit or copy of a check written to MTT for your 15% cut. Show me something.
I really feel at this point in time that all the MTT champions need to put up or shut up.
In any event, in less than a month, the website I paid to promote will "go live" and I'm going to report on exactly what has happened. Frankly, I expect to report on what HAS NOT happened. If, by some miracle, MTT actually *does* do what they promise, I will report on that too. My feeling at this point is that MTT is a massive scam that will be "outed" here very shortly. I am not the only person who's been patiently waiting the 68 days for all that glorious paying traffic to start. Some are ahead of me. And I've been in contact with a number of them.
Again, in summation, all you MTT promoters out there -- WHERE'S THE BEEF?!?!?
Thanks.
