That's a good point, they seemed to just rely on their slightly lower ref rates for a long time.

I'd always been weary of them as they'd seemed pretty harsh when putting people on hold etc, but they looked like they had big plans to change.

Don't know what went wrong, either reverse bid or something up with tab?

It's money issues.

But the money issues must've come from something. If it was just freebie sites not doin too well, then they'd all be feeling it.

Unfortunately we will most likely never find out the true issue's as to why things went wrong. I do wish people would stop speculating though.

I still hope that people who are owed gifts will get what they are owed.

That's fair, it's just hard not to wonder what went wrong.

I got my first freebie from GA and it was an Xbox 360. I can still remember the excitement when opening the package knowing that I did not pay a penny for it
GA were slow at sending freebies out but they were the flagship network when I first started 3 years ago.
I have not used them for quite a while now as no network comes anywhere near FJ (just my opinion )
I really feel sorry for the people that stand to lose out from the 'Collapse' of GA.
For noobs who might be reading this, don't give up as this is a one off and there are plenty of other reliable networks to choose from - just check out the exceem supported list

Let's hope an announcement is coming soon!

So do I, I have been working at my first freebie since November 2008, I have managed to get 14 greens out of the 16 needed for an iphone, lost three greens (scammed in trades), overall I have spent £173.00 to get the 14 greens in trading, so not really a freebie.

I hope that it will eventually work out for everyone, this will only add negativity to the freebie scene and more people will label it as a scam.

Personally, if they were messing me about I would take it from online to very much offline and real.
They company details are there for everyone to see.
.

Either write to them, inform your family solicitor, ask citizens advice or a load of you all meet up and knock on the door and actually ask what is going on.

They already have your money from the refs so you should get what you are owed, if he has spent it on other things they will be in trouble because they are a proper registered company who has to balance their books.

2 other organisations that may be interested are the ASA and the OFT.

Also owns reversebid and he bought his house for nearly 400K so business can't be that bad. Owns over 80 other domains as well.

To anyone who posts personal information, or encourages actions that leads to such, don't. eXceem is not here for that, and if any complaints are made to eXceem I will co-operate with the police.

They are owned by Fustion Media Ltd meaning YES they can vanish with our *GOODS* whenever they go bust.

veil of incorporation.....

[beezer123]

I've just had a look at my.giveaway and currently have 4 greens spread over their sites.

Quite sad really because my.giveaway is absolutely amazing and is something that i think that all networks would benefit from having.

RIP giveaway

[rollingsta]

Anyone got any news to share? When do you think its safe to say we have been totaly ripped off? I'm livid I wanna punch the screen everytime i see the crappy status they told me to check. wnb bbvvc vgbfnh arrrggghhhhhhhhh bunch of $£%£$ <<< Ryhmes with stunts.
So not fair.

[Harvez]

only prob with LTD companys the people who run them are not held accountable when it goes tits up.

[pdmac8]

I am so annoyed, I have 20 greens on HDTV but I have not completed my offer

Is it worth me doing an offer and trying to get something or should I just give up?

Is anyone considering any legal action as my 20 greens are worth nearly £400 so I must be able to get something if they are a LTD and go bankrupt???

Unless they carried on trading when they knew there was no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvency.
