Normally I am a very cool guy who does not mind simple mistakes or small things but Globaltakeoff is taking scamming to a different level altogether for which I had to create this thread so that other publishers do not get in this massive scam. I have been a globaltakeoff publisher for around 2 years and used it to complement with my adsense income on a few of my websites. At the start, the CPM rates were quite decent and so I used it on a few of my sites. They also used to pay on time through paypal in the first few months 5-10 months. Then gradually their CPM rates kept on decreasing and so I removed their ads from most of my sites. Due to the removal of their ad codes from most sites it used to take several months to cross the payment threshold of $25. Gradually they started to send payments only on request and reminders through email even if I crossed the payment threshold. I used to contact Dattu or Putta on the email address they provided and the payment issues used to get resolved. Later on I did not track their earnings much as it was not that big anymore. Then in September last year I received a mail from some new guy named Rohan instead of Dattu and Putta. I checked my account reports and I saw more than $50 had accumulated in my account which was double the $25 payment threshold but they did not send me the payment still. So, I sent my query about my payment not being sent to Rohan as Dattu and Putta were not replying anymore even after repeated emails. Rohan replied It was their duty to automatically disburse the payment instead of me requesting and checking it out. But still I thought it was ok and maybe it was their mistake again. Then I again left tracking Global Takeoff as they were left only in a few of my medium range websites. In January, I opened my Globaltakeoff publisher account and saw that $25 had got accumulated since the last payment date and my payment threshold was reached. So, I emailed Rohan about the payment and told him to send the payment. But guess what! I never received any reply back from him since January. I hardly ever care for such things and so I left the issue again for all these months. But a few days ago, I logged inside my Globaltakeoff account to check it. I saw that I had now accumulated over $50 earnings. I was a lot irritated now as they should have sent automated payments after crossing threshold but they were not even replying to my emails or sending the payment when more than double the payment threshold had got accumulated in my GTO publisher account. I sent a mail to Rohan once again on June 3. But it has been 8 days and he never even replied back even though it has been 8 days with mostly business days throughout. I hardly care about $50 and I never like to bad mouth anybody as that is against my ethics and morals but these guys are taking scamming to a new extent. At first they should have sent my payments automatically whenever I crossed the payment threshold but they even did not reply to my emails even when I have mailed them twice in a huge time frame of 6 months. And I have mailed all the contact addresses they provided viz. of Rohan, Dattu and Putta and nobody replied. So, these guys are surely massive scammers from the looks of it and I would advise everybody to remain away from Globaltakeoff. Hope that this thread saves somebody else from being scammed. Even on June 3, I have sent the mail to with CC to and Please beware of this network. $50 is not a huge amount but scamming and fraud and total unprofessionalism is a big issue and so I advise everyone to AVOID THIS MASSIVE SCAM CALLED GLOBALTAKEOFF AD NETWORK
same here, over $80 owed, no reply, didn't even reply to my pm here on the forum that they read on may 28th.
There are a lot of topic warn about this network. sorry about the story but I think you didn't check for their review before become their publisher. They are scam like 2 months a go and a lot of people warned about it
if you read his story then you would know he has been with them for more than a year. same with me august last year, stopped getting paid in december, 2010
Kindly read my post before making your judgments on whether I check previous reviews or not. I mentioned clearly that I was publisher since mid-2009 and they were not a scam network back then.
I have received my payment after I made this thread. But it is quite surprising that I received only after I made a thread on DP. Anyways good to receive the outstanding payment but I am not yet convinced of continuing with them. I would neither recommend nor advise others to completely stay away from others but would hope that Global Takeoff sorts out their payment issues as I saw other threads about it too which means they need to sort out those things properly.
I am a publisher with them for 6 months right now & everything seems good. They pay every 15 days automatically without a delay.
