Need advice

    I paid a member of this forum money to find PR3 or above links for my site to be placed on.

    I got the report of the pages he put my link on and they are all crap pages using PR Fraud. The pages have little of no content, have not been updated in months or years, some pages are coming up as errors, and one did not even have my link on it.

    Here are the pages that he said were either PR3 or PR4:

    http://www.youthgamesni.net/
    http://www.squash247.net/
    http://radioioa.com/
    http://tradestudios.net/
    http://www.iaki-itb.com/

    Checking them on http://www.checkpagerank.net/ shows them as all using PR fraud. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, and this member has a 17 itrader ranking with all good feedback. I just find it amazing that the job he did was so poor and feel he is ripping me off.

    Anyone have any advice?

    Contact him and show him all these findings. And ask him to redo the job.

    I think that this kind of job shouldn't be paid at all. I think that you can do it yourself and save time and helth

    I think you should tell him. It's very important. And I think you should give him negative feedback if he does not comply.

    Yea you have done the right thing by checking the PR in the beginning itself because i was also looking for placing my site into PR 4 sites/blogs but some frauds have cheated me.

    I rechecked and they do seem valid except the one michel123 pointed out. Not sure why they came back forged when I checked earlier.

    I asked him to change that one out and he said he would, so I am going to give him another chance. I hate having to jump the gun and give him negative feedback which is why I asked for advice. I know people work for the rep and I didnt want to ruin it without making sure.

    Thanks for everyone's advice.
