I have been looking for a way to make money online. GDI popped up and after reading it, it sounded good. The advertising done by Tissa Godavitarne never, never indicated it was a pyramid scheme and it required hundreds or possibly thousands of email address and hounding the people that happened to look at the emails. These emails are tagged so that you can look at them and see who looked, who clicked through and who ignored them. Then they send you emails telling you to call and email these people further. Just not right.

The biggest thing I did not like was when GDI stated that they were giving you a FREE 7 day trial and then they would charge you $10 per month. The first 7 days were free. Then when you signed up, you got charged $10, but it was called a "set up fee" not the regular maintenance fee. $10 is $10, free is free and charging you $10 for a set up fee is not FREE. They should have indicated that it would cost $20 to begin with, but are giving a discount of $10 or something along that line. Not say its free and then charge you.

It is a scam, nothing more, nothing less. If you like to lie to people and cheat people, then I guess this is a good program. Not what they advertised it to be. Very deceptive advertising. Never mentioning that it requires all those email address. They actually request you submit 100 email addresses per day.

It is just a scam and they ripped me off of my $10 and I think they should refund me.

I am a GDI affiliate.

AUTHOR: trinitymatt - Athens (United States of America)

I am an affiliate of GDI, and several other affiliate programs.  Upon starting my free trial I was not charged anything. I do use the services and am more than willing to pay the $10/month for the services that they provide.

Anyone who is interested in making any money online should have a domain name, and email address at their domain name.  Even if it is to do nothing more than set up a redirect to their affiliate link provided by a free affiliate program.  This is in my opinion the best way to create an online income.

I do dislike that GDI builds on hype. However, if you send an email to the company explaining your situation they will make it right.  They have always been good to deal with.

If you find a free affiliate program, then use your GDI domain as even a redirect, I feel you would be happy with the results. I do this with one of my domain names - trinityrebates which allows me to advertise offline without worrying about people not including all the info required to get my credit. My other domain name I actually use the hosting from GDI, which means that the cost is very near what it would be using Godaddy, getting hosting, and email addresses at your domain. But GDI will actually pay you back.

If you tried this i feel you would be happy with GDI, as well as starting to build the online income you are looking for.

Folks, this guy is full of crap. Who in their right mind would pay $10 per month to redirect to an affiliate link!!! At Go Daddy it is a few dollars per year!!!!

Next, everything the guy above said about the emails is true, you need millions of them! I used to like GDI and actually have a domain with them, but they REALLY SCREWED UP doing business with a Yahoo verified scammer!!! So, NO ONE SHOULD PROMOTE GDI because you will be exposing innocent people to a deceptive leader board at GDI that is FULL of scammers like tissa godavitarne.

It is SUCH A DISGUSTING RACKET where TISSA GODAVITARNE LIES TO NOOBIES to fleece them. Tissa actually states that he gives you some of 'his' PPC traffic, which is NOT POSSIBLE TO DO!!!!!!!!  Only a noobie would fall for that!

I have lost affiliates due to the fact that they found out about the tissa scam fraud, and these are people I paid $20 for a GDI gift certificate, to recruit! And guess what, GDI  does not give a crap about this!

The BEST website on this subject is at http://transparency.tissa-godavitarne.info which took 5 months to build, and continues to be updated.

Anyone readying this, pass it on! The phone number to paypal is there too, call them and ask to speak to the supervisor, tell them this is serious and that IT MUST GET TO THE SECURITY AND SAFETY DEPARTMENT. TELL THEM THAT THE SUPERVISOR WAYNE TOLD YOU TO CALL. follow that script to the letter, and you will get through.

Next, it is CRUCIAL that you file a report to the FTC, the link and number is at the website mentioned above. and for now, http://amilliondollars.biz forwards to it. I have spoken with the FTC on the telephone! They EXIST for this stuff (gives em something cool to do, and they are very receptive, so DO NOT HESITATE ON BIT TO CONTACT THEM)

PLUS, the FTC has a cool and informative website, there is a direct link on the tissa site mentioned above to an FTC make beleive scam to test your online marketing savy, to see if you can figure it out! HAD ME FOOLED!

And the original version of the tissa expose is at http://tinyurl.com/125dollarscam

Even if all you do is a search on Google for " tissa godavitarne " then keep going through the results until you see one from transparency.tissa-godavitarne.info and click on it, this should take only a few seconds of your time. Do it as often as you wish, because this WILL bring the site up to the front for all to see, if it isn't there already.

Also, GO TO the Affiliate summit west, in January, tissa will be there, you need to hand out cheap cards with either or all the following urls http://bit.ly/2QPOZY (case sensitive, 2QPOZY must be capital) http://transparency.tissa-godavitarne.info and http://amilliondollars.biz OR GET A T-SHIRT(S) PRINTED

The first step is to get tissa scam fraud listed as a top scam at Rip Off report The next step is to get paypal to stop doing bus with him, the FTC encourages going to your local media and police station.

fINALLY, sign the guestbook at the transparency website!
