Paid Posts

Content Current! Avoid at all costs.

I recently decided to try out a paid posting service for my board, with a company called
Content Current. I was initially impressed with the look of their website and with the
standards they 'claim' to adhere to. I placed my order at 00:02 12th February.

I paid over $40 for a package that consisted of 75 posts, with 4-6 new registrations. I
asked for my posts to be completed within 7 days, which was agreed to by Content Current.

I waited patiently for 5 days, and not one post had been made. I opened a support ticket,
asking why there was no progress with my order. I got a reply a few hours later. The reply
asked for understanding and patience, and said that I was being assigned a few new writers, to
help fill my order. So I waited a further 24 hours, and still no sign of any progress. I again
sent them a message voicing my anger at the situation. The owner replied stating that he was going
to assign a whole new set of writers to my order, and promised me that I would see progress over
the next 24 hours, and that he (Owner) would be overseeing my order to ensure it was completed.
Guess what I got? 5 lousy posts!

By now the 7 days agreed at the start had past. So once more I sent them a message letting them
know exactly how I felt, and that I wanted a refund. Again I was given nothing but excuses.

Another full 24 hours went by and guess what? Still not 1 more post had been made. So this afternoon, 9 days after
I placed the order, I sent yet another message. This is that message:

Now I'm really angry! Still only 5 posts. I do not want any more of your so called writers on my board.
No more excuses, I want my money back! Don't bother replying with the same crap you've been feeding me so
far. Your nothing but a bunch of cowboys, and I intend to post a warning about your company on as many
forums, blogs and sites, that I can. So refund my money today! I will delete any further posts made by
your team. You asked for a 'few' more days, and you've had that. Don't ask me for more time or to be patient,
you've used both up!

I haven't received any reply as of yet.

I really don't want anyone else conned out of their hard earned cash. So if you or anyone else you know are
considering using a paid post service, please don't use Content Current. You will not get the service or standard
they claim to offer. I will let you all know if I ever get my cash refunded, but don't hold your breath.

That sucks man. Hopefully you get your money back.

I am sorry to hear about your problems although to be honest i can't understand why you are paying $40 for 75 posts. It is alot of money for a little number of posts.

Wouldn't surprise me if dan the man ran that site. -lol-

Seriously though, if anyone was interested in the service then thanks for making them aware of this. 🙂

Well you argeed to give them 7 days but started to complain after 5 days - why? :?

Also deleting their posts is a really bad idea, now they can just say 'we posted 75 times but you deleted them!' - how are you going to disprove that when you've said yourself you're going to delete any further posts they make

Also why did you pay $40? On their site it says 75 posts is $22.95

You say in your reply you've given them a 'few' more days but you posted that message on the 9th day when they were meant to be complete by the 7th which IMO isn't a few (it's a couple).

Don't get me wrong I wouldn't use them but I think you have also reacted in a bad way. As for getting a refund, good luck

In his defence he would have expected the posts to be spread out evenly over the 7 days, 5 in 5 days and 70 in 2 days is stupid.

 

[Aragon Burner]

Yup, by day 5 with only 5 posts done, I knew they weren't going to make the 7 day deadline. And I only tried the service to start with due to curiosity.

 

[InMyMind]

Shame, there are better forum posting services. I think Forum Wizards is pretty good.

 

[FilmFoo]

Not trying to be mean here but are you a bit stupid? $40 for 75 posts anyway? Thats so much money for nothing really.

You got ripped off.

That's way overpriced man.

If I were you, I'd immediately file a dispute (that's if you paid them via PayPal). Chargeback them.
