Hey there fellow BHW members.
I was told to put this thread in the lounge so here I am trying to warn you about this so called survey website.
(P.S: English is not my native tongue so please excuse me for any grammatical mistakes)
I was not going to put up such a thread since nothing really happened at first. But you will read why I still made this thread...
Backstory:
So, a few months ago I started doing CPA, PPC and such websites. You can still find my journey on this forum somewhere.
Anyway, after a while reading I found FileIce and got accepted. Figuring out how things worked on the website was pretty easy and figuring out what you may and may not upload was as well.
After uploading my first file I had a very hard time getting my first download... Hell, even the first click was very very hard. I started reading on how to get clicks and downlaods and finally I had my first download which brought me $0.70!!!
Some weeks passed by and I made a total of around $20 bucks with downloads. Looking at the different download payrates I found out that french payments paid alot more than others (about $18 per download).
I started targeting the French market and made a niche in it. I obviously did not get alot of download, but after a few days I finally had one. One french $18 bucks download was in and I gota total of $40 bucks (Some usa ones etc as well). I started getting one french download in about 3-4 days, so after a while I had a total of $70 on only french downloads and $30 bucks on USA and others.
I stopped marketing myself to review when the payments were processed and when they were approved, and did so for about a week (until payment approving).
Here is where it started.
I went to sleep two days before the payments got approved and I was excited to see $100 dollars coming my way in a few days... Too bad that didn't turn out on what I hoped...
Waking up the next morning I checked my mail, any phonecalls and my texts. Going into the browser and logging into FileIce... Wait, what? I couldn't log in anymore because they were accusing me of a thing called "Offer fraud".
I did not know why they would accuse me of something like this, since I never did such a thing! I always placed my surveys withing the rules and I never downloaded one of my own surveys!
Convinced they must have made a mistake I wrote a polite email asking them if they please could remove my ban since there was probably a mistake...
In between now and then has been 4 weeks without me getting a mail regarding my email to them. Nothing, nothing at all! Not even a mail saying "Your wrong, we are right".
In my opinion this is merely disgusting since they accuse me of something I never did and they don't send me an email over the issue as well. Deciding that FileIce was just a scam and they probably just banned me for having a low income for the last week, giving them a free $100 bucks, I decided to let the matter rest(after about 2 weeks sending the first mail).
Now then, the reason I am still making this thread... Today I checked my mailbox and I saw a mail from a FileIce admin, "Oh great, they finally took some time to send me an answer!", I thought.
Looking into the email this is what I found:
The admin send me a spam email saying some words about some dude making $400 bucks in a week, he included a link which he wanted me to click. I did not click the link, but decided to put it through a scanner first... The link was a link to a website that would track my location and IP adress.
I immediately disgusted FileIce and I now know for sure FileIce is a scam website for the low income.
Luckily I found another CPA website that I am still using on autopilot. FileIce is DONE for me.
It is your choice to believe me or not, but I can tell you that what I am telling you is the truth. I know people here have and are making big money on FileIce, but I am telling you my experience with it.
