Yep, that’s right. I in “my opinion” got scammed yesterday so I thought I’d share my experience with you and let you decide…
I’m out searching for a new ad banner system. Looking at adcycle, phpAdsnew, and AWPpro. After looking around at some others I narrowed it down to these 3. I checked them out feature for feature and because AWPpro was listed for $69.99 plus a $30.00 off coupon (and they claimed to have all the features of the other ones plus more) I thought I’d go with them.

From their web page http://www.guruperl.com/awp4pro/ they listed all of the features (some of which I see have now been removed) But don’t worry I saved their page because I knew he was a scammer and would try to cover his sorry butt. You can see the original feature page here (please note all images are his copyright and only up for demonstration purposes)http://www.teamphotoshop.com/scammer/ads.htm

Please note that he appears to have removed features like BANNER WEIGHT and others. VERY important features if you ask me. And then to top it off when I asked about these features and coupon discount he got angry. So I asked for a full refund, and guess what… He does not want to refund my measly $69.99.

I know, it’s only 60 bucks I thought, no biggie. But the more I thought about it the more pissed I got so I thought let’s expose this loser for what he really is. So the bottom line is if you are looking for an Ad Banner system this is the last person “I” would ever do business with. I’ll leave your decision up to you ;) I told him I would expose his scam to millions of webmasters and I think he doubted me.

So Alex from Advertise With Pleasure, it’s truly been my Pleasure to let the world and millions of webmasters know about how you run you so called business. I’m sure lot’s and lot’s of people will be curious about this and check out your site. And I’m sure some of them may even drop you a nice email to say hello. That is out of my hands and as always I really frown upon that type of behavior. But I cannot stop people from spreading the word about your little false advertising deal.

Have a good next few days Alex. ;)

I don't think I'd ever buy anything that was in a pop-up ad to begin with. Then I definitely wouldn't buy anything with "Pleasure" in the title.

I'd only buy something with an ISO quality check on it. Pank, you are by law entitled to a full refund or credit note because the product was not fit for the purpose intended or fit the description given in the advert. He is exposed now to false advertisement also. If you wanted to you could go to a small claims court and 1. get your money back + more, and 2. get rid of this guy from the net. None of this would cost you a thing.

Yeah, AWP. If you were a CS'er, pank, you'd know that that means one shot kill. Sorry about the waste of money.
