Over $3000 5 Months of hard work reward gone with no way to recover it I don't know the right words to describe my feelings right now. All I can say is that I am shattered seeing all my hard work and reward for good five months gone with no way to get it back. I don't know who to blame for the loss, whether it is the platform I work for or my ignorance to do the right thing at the right time. For the past five months, I have been promoting 5billionsales an online project and a platform that pays users for their browsing data. The platform has an excellent affiliate program with a good reward that is ongoing for good five months. I promote the website and the platform here on read.cash and other platforms. I have been so dedicated to promoting the website and got a good number of affiliates which has earned me over $2500 With other commissions from the activities of my affiliates. Besides the affiliate program, I have also consistently been using the sell my data feature on the website to earn a daily reward for my browsing data. The daily reward for browsing is $1.60, and I have been collecting it for over five-month. All the rewards for work were sent to my account waiting for the payout date. I've been dreaming about the payout day, and I feel quite good about the progress. It was yesterday when I tried to log in to the site that I saw a security form that requested I filled in all my account details before I can access my account. I tried to fill in all that I can remember, and guess what? My account was blocked because some of the information I filled in the form did not match up with the details I used when I signed up for the site 7 months ago. I don't know if there was an announcement about KYC such as a security check from the platform for users to prepare. If there was, how could I have come to know about it if the platform did not announce anything to the public? The worse part of it is that there is no way to reach out to the platform. I don't know how to go about this and how to get my hard-earned money back. I've been such a dedicated affiliate, but my hard work has been lost all because I forgot one or two things about the information I filled in when I joined the platform. As for now, I cannot sleep, and I keep waking up with the same questions in my mind. What should I do next? How am I going to get my hard-earned money back? The money that I have earned during the five months that I have been promoting the website is well up to $3000, and this will continue to increase due to the recurring commissions that I will continue to earn. Now, all of that is gone with no way to get it back. I do not know if the platform will give me a second chance for all the time I have invested into the promotion of their platform. This is so devastating that I feel like crying while typing this. It is more painful when the first payout day is only 22 days away from now. The first payout is scheduled for the 25th of August and I have been doing calculations and making plans on how to use the money. Now, all of my plans have gone down the drain. I feel like I have lost everything. I cannot start all over again and there is no way to create a new account because the system recognizes my IP address. 5billion sales project ended in tears for me. I can not believe I have lost $3000, and all the other money I have made since the project started. What an ignominious way to lose everything. It is difficult to deal with such a trauma, and I do not know what I should do at the moment. How can I get over this? Help needed

Sad... Wait, perhaps there is a way to recover. Just wait a little longer, someone may be able to help.
It's all right, I just have to let it go and move on.
This smells like a scam. What exactly was this platform offering to users? Was it also asking for investment perhaps offering yield? Too suspicious. Did you do due diligence? Certainly, you lost time with it, and time is money. Moreover, you lost privacy. And privacy is irreplaceable. The way I see it, they do what they claim (sell your data) and plan not to pay anyone. Now, it only took me 1 minute to find this: https://www.quora.com/Is-5billionsales-com-legit Maybe start doing due diligence next time since you claim you were advertising it and got many more to use it. Now that I recall, last year you were advertising what was supposedly a USDT mixer. Do you plan not researching what you advertise? I know there are guys that feel this urge to promote all these affiliate schemes but don't realize they cause harm to those that follow them. Maybe consider this.
The platform is an advertising platform and no investment is required except for those who want to advertise their products through the platform. Most people have actually got paid though not in the category of services that I used on the platform. Those who were able to bring advertisers to the platform got paid their commissions. The affiliate payment was to be paid annually, while the sell data income will be paid monthly, and the first payout was to be on the 25th of August. When I joined the platform it was still in the Beta stage, there was nothing to research about it since they were yet to launch. I did research on the USDT mixer platform before I used it, and at the time I joined there was nothing suspicious about it. I stopped using the platform after 3 months and didn't know what happened to it since then. I have learned a lesson from this, and will never use my time and resources to promote anything that has to do with an affiliate program.
There are affiliates that can work, like perhaps noise.cash works for some people (didn't work for me sadly). But the uknown is always risk, especially when they claim they will pay this much. I'm still happy you understand and besides this part, I wanted to mention you are doing amazing with your content. Keep it up.
Smells like a ponzi to me. That money was given knowing no reward will be paid.
It's hard to deal with, considering that some people actually got paid by the platform.
Same..I didn't believe that when I first read his post
This is why I am not fun of affiliate program although some are legit it's just that I don't want some to promote something I am not so sure of.. I don't know how to ease your pain but I hope you get through with that and learn your lesson not to expect so much because nothing is guaranteed not unless you have a contract for doing the job..in that sense you can after them.
I have learned from this experience and will never take part in affiliate marketing henceforth.
Gez! that's a huge amount of money.
I suspect it's not legit.. They did that since the payout is quite approaching. When I saw your post about it.. I already know that it's a scam.. You just wasted your effort there
Yeah, so painful I wasted my time and data for over 7 months waiting for nothing.
I feel so sorry for you. That was painful and if I we're in your shoe, I would also feel the same way. This is how important our credentials are to be remembered and secured. But just like Pantera, I also feel like it's a scam. I've tried a platform before as well but when my money is all ready for cash out , things gone wrong and I regretted wasting my time just to earn there.
I just found out I was not the only way they did it to, several other people who has been doing the affiliate marketing have also been locked out of their accounts. It's a well calculated scam.
That's bad.
Brother you need to write sensitive details on secret book. Moreover it is really sad when you lost such a huge amount. Please don't worry and tried to access their representative if possible otherwise it can be scam site or Ponzi.
There's no way to reach their representative, they blocked every medium to reach them.
I don't know how can I help you friend. I'm really sorry about what happened. I couldn't imagine how I would feel if it happens to me.
It's really painful even though I didn't invest personal money, the time and effort wasted for over 7 months is not a small thing.
True. It's a huge amount. It's a big deal of course. I hope you heal from the pain soon. Take your time and may God give you more blessings.
I have been on a well affiliate marketing program earlier. Got around 600$ in 3 months and later I wasn't able to login the account. They had customer care also but they completely denied my appeal. I would most of the affiliate marketing programs run for a short time give rewards then after that when a huge number of people are joined they do scams. Just think that there are other people got scammed like you example me and I am doing fine now. The pain is frustrating, anger, sadness everything hits when we don't get the results of our hardwork and affiliate marketing isn't easy at all. The person brought you to that affiliate site can only help you. Maybe some senior or old user of it can give you a better solution. Or you can find your answers in Quora website.
This is gone and I just have to forget about it. I guess it was a well calculated scam from the beginning
I am sure you will recover but in the process it was only your efforts and not your personal funds in. cheer up
Yeah, I have to get over it and move on though it was really painful.
The 5billion stuff might be scam. I can remember that i registered, saved the password and also picked always logged in but when i tried to log in again it failed. I started suspecting them from then and just quit.
Hey! What a wasted effort. I am also on that platform but I have been more careful the way I go about it because the seems to be unreliable.
What if it is a ponzi scheme? More likely a fake initiative and earnings. > I have also consistently been using the ***sell my data*** feature on the website. Oops I don't think selling your data is a good idea.
