I've been had!!

Shabbyrose · 02-01-09, 06:06 PM

okay I feel like I have been complete ripped off!! I went to getref.com and went to complete the form for apple.freepay . Before I realized that I was doing a survey and not registering I got a txt that cost me around 5 pounds. I got through that and went for a free ringtone. I signed up for that. And it is not crediting me with the offer!! (my computer crashed just after it all went through) and I can't DL the ringtone with my phone (shouldn't mater cause I signed up for the offer)It won't even give me a referral address to imput to my get ref page that I need to complete to get credits. What should I do. This is apples.freepay
there is not a ticket system and it says I have to wait 15 days to report an offer not going through. But in the meantime I have no referal adress to get my credits..

Another unhappy Getref customer, will we ever hear a good thing said about this particular site?

Shabbyrose · 02-01-09, 06:11 PM

I would just be done with it and move on but I bought 40 credits before I knew you had to earn at least on credit! I m absolutely fuming! just when I really start to believe everything is all above board!
I'm ad at freepay too!! They suck!

corky20 · 02-01-09, 06:13 PM

I would stick to the exceem supported sites from now on and avoid sites like getref.com. You could wait and report it but you will probably just be wasting your time!

Shabbyrose · 02-01-09, 06:18 PM

it isn't get ref it is freepay. they are not giving me an ID to finish filing out my form on get ref.
Also get ref didn't make it clear you have to EARN a credit before you can get refs. I BOUGHT 40 and can do nothing with them!

Sadly he's using an exceem supported site. Freepay's questionnaire thing is terrible.

To be honest mate, I'd just cut your losses and use a different network. If you take a look around the forum you can see peoples opinions of the networks. If it's your first freebie I'd use one of the more popular networks such as Freebie Jeebies. As their customer support is very good.

corky20 · 02-01-09, 06:22 PM

Sorry I wasn't sure what you meant exactly in the first post, haven't used Freepay in a long time. I know Freepay have low referral rates but I would avoid them unless you have alot of patience...

Shabbyrose · 02-01-09, 06:27 PM

it's terrible I don't know what to do! that is that offer gone and I can't do anything! I can't finish my get ref thing! And I have no REF ID! what am I supposed to do. I just keep checking my ticket over and over again (which wasn't user friendly to find!) GRRRRRRRRRRRRR I'm so MAD! mostly at freepay not getref! Their sponsors ripped me off with a 5£ text message! I thought I was getting my information to them not some cheezy quiz txt network! and there's a stupid time limit to get your greens! PATHETIC!

kevan321 · 02-01-09, 06:46 PM

Yep, that's just freepay unfortunately.
My experiences with them were actually ok, but I've been on here long enough to know that I was just lucky, and never to go near them again.

It's a shame about the getref thing, how much did you spend?

I think I got around it my copy and pasting what I thought was my ref ID from the adressbar on the page that can not be displayed, but now my transaction is not showing up on get ref

Jon · 02-01-09, 06:51 PM

to clear up some confusion, getref.com is a sort of trading site, and not a free gift site/network in itsself

Shabbyrose · 02-01-09, 06:54 PM

yeah I should have known better from the things I have read on here about it! Just wanted to get some greens

but now I'm just £12.50 worse off

Shabbyrose, you only needed to sign up to the referral, you didn't need to complete an offer, nevermind completing the silly questionaire thingy on freepay.

So shabby, those 40 credits you have, people only need to sign up for you and no one needs to complete an offer at all.

You will be lucky if someone does complete an offer.

said to get the credit off the person I needed to complete an offer.("Sign up to one free offer and I will credit you when your email goes green on my account. If your having trouble, let me know and we'll sort something out. Thanks so much!")

I read a review on youtube someone saying they got an iphone using just get refs.

To use my 40 credits I paid for I had to earn at least one. Me and hubby had been clicking for hours and only got .18 credits. I'm ashamed I paid now. I did tell myself not to spend any more money. this is why. everything has a catch!

You should've asked/searched Exceem about Get Ref, we would've advised you accordingly.

I'm still confused. How is it possible to sign-up to Freepay and not get a unique ref link - what am I missing here
