I ordered a couple of Autosurf surf scripts. They were to be installed in the main root And that is what i did. the program would allow me to go to the login stage with the use of the Easy install that was included in the program.

When i did not hear from webtrafficpromotions.com I sent them another other letter explaining their scrits was NOT working. I tryed to install it in a sub Dir so there was not hundreds of open files in the main root.

That is where the hastle began. I get an email saying that they want my control panel login information. Which I provided but i also told them just to refund my money (19.98) I was told

Means your database information is not set up correctly or you do not have the correct permissions set on your vars.php file! this was when it was in the main root Dir.

He also told me
You did not purchase installation or hosting. I am offering FREE installation support

he could not access my control panel so he ask for my Ftp info and when i sent it to him here was his response when i told him that i was done with all the hasle and i want a COMPLETE refund. This was the forth time i made this request and he replied

Larry,
As I mentioned to you I can not offer you a refund.

I have spent well over 3 hours assisting you with the installation on your server at no charge. (AND THE PROGRAM STILL DOES NOT WORK)

I told him that i wanted a COMPLETE refund. and now ever 5 minutes he send me a Email stating

As I mentioned to you I can not offer you a refund.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY You will be disappointed

I followed the INSTRUCTIONS to the letter the Script DID NOT WORK
HE offer to help and claim he spent three hours working on it and the SCRIPT STILL DOE NOT WORK

This person Larry did indeed purchase 2 autosurf scripts from us.

What he is failing to mention is that he took several days to get back to us after I emailed him with the request for access to his server so that I could personally assist. This took over 3 days and I recieved several nasty emails stating that I had failed to communicate with him. After that he still did not send me the correct information to gain access to his server. So 99% of the delay was caused by him not answering emails in a timely manner. We have answered every email even on Sundays within a 24 hour period of time.


Here is a copy of the email we sent to him after he said that the script doesn't work and that we showed him that we just installed the script that he claimed didn't work in under 15 minutes...:

Larry,

The program works perfectly and I have responded to your email within 24 hours of you contacting us.

You did not purchase installation or hosting. I am offering FREE installation support but YOU did not respond to my email that was sent on Friday see below

-------------------------------------------------------------------


I should also mention that he never purchased script installation which we normally charge for and we offered him free installation assistance even after a few of the negative emails. That didn't seem to help kept coming and threats of him posting up what bad service we offered.

We have several companies and clients using the same exact script with no issues at all.

After spending 3 hours+ I realized that he had not followed the read me files where I responded again as I can not assist people that clearly do not read the instructions that are provided:

Okay I see where you are having problems and you did something that
will cause you to have issues:

http://traffic.emallgo.org/surf2/setup_readme.html

1. The biggest thing is you can not install this in a subdirectory as
it states in the read_me file it must be at the root of the site for
the script to work. This is clearly stated as you can see below. This
is the main reason why you are not getting the script to function.
" 6. The script is set to run ONLY in the Main/Root Dir of the web dir.

But as for now this will prevent errors and needless complications.
"
2. Permission levels need to be set to 666 for all files and folders
in the main folder of the script.

Larry,
As I mentioned to you I can not offer you a refund.

I have spent well over 3 hours assisting you with the installation on your
server at no charge.

The script does work pefectly if you follow the instructions which were
provided at the point of sale and also have shown you. You failed to follow the
readme instructions when installing the script which is what led to these
issues.

I apologize for your 'Major hastle' but you have done nothing but make
negative remarks since you made this purchase If I was to leave feedback for you
I would tell any seller to avoid you at all costs due to your negative attitude
and unwillingness to follow instructions.

Good day,

------------------------------------------------

Here is another email:

In 48 hours I have not been able to access your ftp account. I have and am trying to do everything in my power to assist you. Again I must mention that you have not paid me for installation but I continue to go out of my way to get this script working on your web hosting. Not many webhosts make people select which port they use for mysql so their webhosting service is unique in that respect.


I have just install the same script I sent you here: http://peakwebtraffic.com/ so again the script does work..

If you need me to assist which apparently you do I need your FTP access for the domain that you need the help with.


But I cannot give you a refund due to you not being able to get the script to function on a server that has a unique setup.

I am trying to do whatever it takes to make you happy but giving me deadlines and ultimatums isn't encouraging.

And now i going to make some serious remarks and it will be your business tht will suffer sorry but if you want to be a total a*s about this i can and will play hard ball I have requested a refung since your first letter. and i had nothing but a hasle so you have made your choice.

and now i will make sure that the world knows webtrafficpromotions.com is NOT WORTH DOING BUSINESS WITH

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------





So as you can see we have made several efforts to assist this irate individual with getting the script installed on his personal webhosting platform. We spent a considerable amount of time and effort which far exceeds the cost of a $20.00 script that he is gripping over. If we really wanted to scam or steal from people would we really go this far out of our way to help?

Larry, I am sorry that you can not read instructions and that you feel that you need to bad mouth a company for your shortcomings...
