Thread: Referrals - where do you stand?

"but to say that compensation will be offered is ridiculous"
to you maybe.
but not to parrots, thinksnow or myself.
kinda natural to us, man.

hassle,

So you're saying that anyone/everyone on this forum who has a referral programme, (mlm, hyip etc) that for whatever reason, (scam etc) has not paid then the referrer should do a kinda like 'money back guarantee'?!

You live in a dream world chum. Any chance of being 'referred' some of your drugs? Do they come with a guarantee if I'm not on another planet after taking them?! LOL.

not at all adster.
I just asked a couple of simple questions to see if others feel the same way as me.

1) will you feel in any way responsible to your referrants for their losses?
2) will you give any form of compensation to them or is it tough sh*t?

some do feel the same way as me, you don't.

You're going round in circles and not even answered my simple question of 'So you're saying that anyone/everyone on this forum who has a referral programme, (mlm, hyip etc) that for whatever reason, (scam etc) has not paid then the referrer should do a kinda like 'money back guarantee'?!

I have answered your questions, try and read them again, maybe they'll sink in a second time.

Ok, let me get this straight, any bank, stocks, shares, or any other investments that go wrong and you lose your money do they offer you a refund?! LOL.

Maybe even the lottery should offer a refund if you lose, what you think?!

Interesting,

Yes, I agree, we all feel responsible to a degree if someone we referred loses money, but that is life, we don't have a crystal ball, and we always tell people to do their own due diligence and make their own decision, but some are making it sound like WE should make refunds if a program takes a dive like we have all suffered at one time or another. I'll bet not one person here has not gone through a loser, after all, most here are in PIPS, GINS, and Plexpay, right? So if some feel so responsible as to offer refunds for those you refer, then I would suggest you refer no one because it is impossible to avoid getting burned in this HYIP investment arena.

All I can recount is the countless times I helped people by referring them, and this included many in PIPS. Sure, many lost as we are all seeing the same problem, but should we refund everyone? Like Adster said, if we bought a lottery ticket and it lost, should we get a refund. We all take our own chances when we invest, and the same is true for those we refer, it is not for the commission, as in almost all cases this is a very small part of referring.

PIPS with $10. per month, come on, no one is inducing another to come into program for a couple bucks, that is for sure. I would not refer anyone to a high commission deal for this very reason, they would know I did it for the money. Look at Coastal deal as example, you earn $1,000., and that is excessive and why I wouldn't join a deal like that. Plexpay was $200. on Gold, and that is acceptable commission, not abussive, and that is what I look at before referring anyone to anything. To each their own, but if anyone lost money, I wouldn't feel good about it, but it has worked both ways, and I can assure you, when someone has made out well on a referral, I keep that in my mind first and formost. We win some, we lose some, but we don't stop trying.

Good luck to all.

I'm saying if I asked someone to put THEIR money into something I liked and it failed then I (and a couple of others here) would feel obliged to compensate them for their losses.
You, obviously, wouldn't.

"I have answered your questions, try and read them again, maybe they'll sink in a second time."
There's no need to be rude because I dissagree with you.

"Ok, let me get this straight, any bank, stocks, shares, or any other investments that go wrong and you lose your money do they offer you a refund?! LOL."
this is the hyip world we're talking about here where 99.99% of programs are SCAMS.

"Maybe even the lottery should offer a refund if you lose, what you think?!"
A typical kindagarten comment when on the backfoot.

well the bottom line for me is I would not refer someone that I knew couldn't afford to lose anything (someone holding on to a "string & a prayer") simply because if they lost thier $ I would feel obligated to help reimburse them ,at least partially .On the other hand I would not feel as much obligation if it was someone who could lose a little & not be affected by it.

hassle,

I can't be bothered with you, you don't listen to a word I say, and I really don't care what you think.

I have a clear conscience and have made it clear to anyone getting involved not to invest more than they can afford to lose and that there are no guarantees.

Reread Mike's post above, maybe that will sink in to that brain of yours.

you are talking rubbish adster.
show me ONE post of yours where you have:
"made it clear to anyone getting involved not to invest more than they can afford to lose and that there are no guarantees"
furthermore, you wont even acknowledge the fact that the Iraqi Dinar can FALL in value or even dissapear altogether.
I can't be bothered with you Adster, you don't listen to a word I say, and I really don't care what you think.

Hassle you don't read any of my emails/pm's that I send to people. Noone has complained about their service they've had. In fact if you read on the other thread from choochie then that's one of many happy customers. I make it clear there are no guarantees and to only invest money that can be afforded to lose.

This on top of the above was from one of my earlier posts.

People, this is your choice. I'm pointing you in the right direction. Do your homework and judge for yourself. Yes, I earn a small commission in what I'm doing but I'd get more pleasure knowing that a lot had listened and had jumped on board themselves.

'Judge for yourself', enough said. This means hassle that people should do their own research and if they want to get involved they do. You don't understand that. I've done nothing wrong and have a clear conscience.

This is all I have to say on this now, you're boring us all. Go on, have the last word if you like, you seem keen to have that.

Best you take the shop that sold your losing lottery ticket to court next time.
