Advergames Network runs the much maligned Netwinner.com sites , ON theyre forum NetwinnerCentral.com
they ran illegal click contests , inducing players to fraudulently click ads of advertisers for incentives .

The players were promised gift cards for theyre time spent watching ads and playing the games , on May 12th Netwinner Executives declared that 40% of players were cheaters and they would not honor any obligations of prizes won . Im sure that number is hugely inflated as they have shown no concrete proof even when requested to by the BBB of charlotte NC , and in fact even submitted duplicate logs of points won by at least 2 members to try to prove cheating , but a sharp eyed member noticed that they had both won the exact same amount of points at the exact same time , on the exact same date on the exact same site , not once but 10+ times ! The logs were obviously manufactured for there scheme to prove that cheating was occuring .

Now they had supposedly been weeding out cheaters for months , and terminating theyre accounts , what are the odds that everyone who filed with the BBB was a cheater ? And why was the cheating never noticed before when the "cheaters" were bringing income to the site ?

At this time the BBB has released a press release saying the games should have been closed when the company realized they could no longer afford to pay the players .
But they didnt close , they kept taking advertisers money , asking members to click more , and promising that they "always pay" .

Its getting media attention and it isnt pretty !

We are actively asking all advertisers on the Advergame network to remove theyre ads from this shady company ! Association with them makes us question the credibility of your product as well !

Arion Hardison CTO of NETWINNER / S. Allen Dean Netwinner Scam

Arion , its amazing you would respond !
Since for months no one from Netwinner could answer a single questions because they were so busy stuffing theyre pockets ...errr stuffing gift cards into envelopes to send out to members .

You are correct in saying your not the owner of netwinner BUT google Arion Hardison and Netwinner ... hmm see that press release ?
Sure sounds like you were more than "just a coder" .
I also like how you say" i didnt run a forum " No , you didnt but was the netwinnercentral not a part of netwinner ?

Your name is synonymous with scam , i didnt do that to you , netwinner did .
You perpetuated a scam knowing that payments would not be made , netwinner was aware for 7 months that they would not be paying , how many updates to the game were there in that time ?
At what time did u say , i cannot be a part of this and continue to scam people ?
You didnt !
So suck it up and face the truth .. YOU are a scammer !

Arion Hardison is a developer and does not run forums

Hi, I am arion hardison and I worked at NetWinner.com; i don't work there anymore but when i did i was a developer. This means I wrote code; i did not run forums and did not create incentive programs. If you wish to file this claim against NetWinner then that is your right; but filling this claim against me to unfairly damage my reputation is both wrong and illegal. I have contacted my lawyer and he will be following up on this issue for me.
