    Has anyone tried: http://www.adcloaker.com/ ?

    Am i being naive to think that this looks like something that would work?

    Has anyone tried it?

    Thanks for the feedback!

    God help you if you do that. They are setting up to run spam from your IP. If they were legitimate they damn sure wouldn't need to use anyone else's IP.

    I'm currently running the AdCloaker, it was $24.95. Supposedly, I'll get a check at the end of the month. If not, $24.95 will not make or break me, but if they don't follow through, you can bet there'll be negative info about them on the 'ripoff report' sites..Time will tell. I will say that I haven't been able to find anything at all on 'Wensel Technologies'. Hope this helps with your decision. Take care,

    Michael

    I doubt it.

    I signed up for a "subscription" last month. Supposedly they "send you a check" after the end of the month. It's now the 16th of the month....no check.

    As I live in the US and my experience has been that Canada Post is notoriously slow, I'm giving it another week. If I don't get anything in the mail by then, I will be filing a ripoff report on the consumer sites.

    So far, my dealings with them have been a bit fishy. Every other email to them goes unanswered. Also, since you pay via Paypal, it seems to me that it would make a lot more sense for them to pay you via Paypal E-Check if they really intend to pay you at all. This fact also leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I dunno...my advice would be to stay away from these guys.

    Ripoffreport.com. They always show prominently in the search engines, so your report will reach the most people. Still no check. They were pretty dodgy with me, too. Definitely going to report my dealings with them to more than one scam alart site.
    You gotta admit, their site looked pretty "legit", what with a developer's blog and all, plus the fact that they didn't claim huge earnings. They certainly fooled me.

    Why would a company make you pay to join them, if they were simply going to pay you the money back? I wouldn't trust them at all, if they are legit, then they have a very poor marketing scheme, obviously they are making money in this, so surely they can spend some of that to maintain their 'servers'.

    I agree with this post.
    I wouldn't join this program. You shouldnt have to pay to make money.

    Everyone taken in by this scam is strongly advised to cancel their "subscriptions" before they get billed again for this phony "service". Also report them as frauds to Paypal and see what you can do to get your money back.

    They are a big scam company....
    After having sending dozen of emails...you keep getting all blah blah emails saying...we are genuine and authentic and your cheque is dispatched.....

    But over a month the cheque did not reach..... Its a fake company.
    I cancelled my subscription and created a dispute at paypal and immediately sean from wensel (so called company name ) refunded the money...

    I advise all of you to do the same....

    Keep in mind that the reason you are joining such companies is for you to earn money and not to lose it. Do research first and think a million times before joining. You worked hard for those money to just give it away to something you are not sure of.

    There are three fraud reports about this adcloaker site at ripoffreport.com.

    You can also report the scammers and internet fraud at ic3.gov. It is the Internet Crime Complaint Center that is "a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). IC3's mission is to serve as a vehicle to receive, develop, and refer criminal complaints regarding the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime."

    contact your local Better Business Bureau in Calgary and file a report letting them know that Adcloaker.com is a scam.
