    Hi,
    Our check from Text Link Ads (TLA) bounced and we have been trying to get in touch with them but no response, does anyone know if they are out of business already?

    I can't make contact with anyone there either, thankfully it was only a simple question I had for them, not a bounced check

    Hmm, frauds and scams everywhere on the internet and big & reputed companies are too on the list.

    Future is unpredictable in terms of payments.

    I just started using TLA so this is sobering news. I thought they were a respected company?

    Too bad to hear this.
    I still waiting for my check to arrive.
    Does the bank worker did tell you why the check is bounce?
    You have to call the TLA and ask them up what really happen

    Hey Mentos,
    The bank does tell you when the check bounces and they have a charge for checks that bounce too. So not only dont you NOT get your money, you are fined cause the check bounced. I have tried calling every department in TLA, sent 2 emails to different people there but no reply.

    It does look like they are going under. Does anyone know any other alternatives to TLA?

    It looks like all the posts in this thread are over a weekend.

    Does TLA have open office hours over the weekend? Or any online chat customer service that shows that people are available?

    Dnsg, the posts have been made over the weekend but I have been trying to reach them since thursday morning and since I had not heard from them, I have been trying to find out if they have closed down.

    I got my payment from InLinks (which is a TLA Company) and TLA by PayPal.

    Edit:
    After posting this i checked my PayPal mail and realized that they sent payment about 10 mins ago.

    They just paid me by PayPal today.
    Are you sure the check bounced, or was the it stopped for some other reason?

    Hi ajshroff,

    If you have any of your friends who live in the same city where TLA office is located, just request them to give a visit to their office. This might expose the complete picture.

    I've bought some advertising from Adengage, just signed up with them. I have advertising for sale there as well. You can open a pub/advertiser account or do them separately. I can't give you a review on them except that I have had a few visitors.

    Now that my accepted site with TLA is php compatible, I was going to take a look with them again.... I'm a little upset because they didn't approve my other sites.
