GPT Cash Cow - Major Scam Site!!

[Ben01]

WTH? Been waiting for months for my overdue payment there, being very patient- then I get this email that tells me not only will I NOT get paid, but also that I should join this person's other site??? Really?? And NO ONE else has a problem with this???

Here is the email sent out from GPT Cash Cow:


However as a business decision we will be closing GptCashCow temporarily until all payments are paid in full. While we are down we will be working on some improvements for the site as well as the forum. There is no reason to remain open and get further behind. This is only TEMPORARY! All upgrades will not be effected and all purchased ads will be there when we reopen. Referrals will not be effected and will remain on all accounts. Please make sure your email is up to date so you can receive all communications concerning updates, reopening, etc. If you have any questions or concerns you may contact me at gptcashcow@XXXXXX or admin@XXXXXX Effective Jan 1st the site will go offline and will remain offline until all improvements and payments are made. This giving everyone
time to make their current cashouts. If you do not cashout your money will still be there when we reopen! I encourage all members to join RebateGold. Payments are weekly and many offers are being added! Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful New Year! May all your resolutions happen!


If you want to keep from getting even further behind then the apparently massive amount you are behind now, why not just remove the offers from the site? Why close it to the people that you owe money to entirely? That is a huge scammer move, in my opinion, and I am amazed that no one else has any issues with this! Most sites would have been flamed all over the place if they sent out an email like this.

Ben,I honestly don't believe you are misunderstanding what the owner is stating. The owner is stating nothing is changing except the site is going offline until payments to the members of gptcashcow are caught up. I would be patient and contact the owner if you have concerns. They,the owner, just doesn't want debt to increase while making up payments. JMPO:alien:

[Jennifer72]

All members should have taken screenshots of their pending payments that way if and when the site comes back you will know if there were any changes made.

How long ago was this email sent? Kind of short notice.

Kind of strange the owner wants you to join the other site lol

ETA - The ENTIRE email:

Greetings to all,

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Christmas.


I would like to take time to let everyone know what is going on and what will be happening.


Due to some fraud not only of members but a few affiliate networks, payments have been delayed.
This is not news to anyone.

I hope these issues are resolved and the owner has been very reputable in the past. I also noticed today that the site is temporarily closed and I think that the owner is taking the right steps to bring things back into good standing.

I Totally Agree with Ben01 & Jennifer72. :!:

So, just so I understand this correctly, this site, GPTCASHCOW, admits to being late paying members over and over again for the past 6 months or so, claims it was due to fraud, and we should trust them?

Why wasn't the site owner controlling the Fraud in the first place?

And to make matters worse, she openly admits that she can not pay her members cashouts on GPTCashCow (for the meantime)

but,

and get this, she want the members to join her other brand new site, RebateGold.

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! :stupid:

What member would be foolish enought to give her money/support for her brand new site, especially after being told they will be late being paid on the old site.

I GOT A BETTER IDEA, She should have taken the money she spent for her brand new GPT site and paid her members in the first place.

Ben, you are not misunderstanding what the owner is stating. What she is doing is running one GPT site into the ground and then expect others to simply jump to her new one. If you search for GPTCashCow using any of the search engines, you can see a pattern of late payments and excuses.

I only lost a little if GPTCashCow ever comes back (Which I doubt), but why anyone would trust her with another GPT site is beyond me.

[gptintheworks]

I am new on the forum here and have been researching into opening my own GPT site. I have noticed however so many sites not paying with even some that were reputable slowing down or not paying? Why is this? I want to open a reputable and long-running site with a twist, to compete with the top runners. This makes me think this is killing the industry with site after site closing or not paying. Am I getting into a "dying" industry or is simply site owners getting greedy?

Comments appreciated. :)

[heather11681]

I know I took a screenshot of my 2 pending payments if that is going to help any. I have been a member at the cow since it pretty much opened and I never had a problem with getting paid until a few months ago. It kind of stinks because it was a good site. I am only maybe a total of $15 because I was just earning from my referrals. It is sad to see GPT sites go down one after another. There are few that are still good well at least in my opinion. I don't trust too many of them anymore. I don't think its the industry either I think it is the people who are running the sites. I belong to one site that was opened 2 years ago and I have never been paid late or ripped off from this site. The owner makes sure the members always get paid first and foremost. So I definitely believe its the people running the sites.

[glewis01]

Hi Ben, this email is just stating that GPT Cash Cow will be closing for a while until they get to give everyone the payment they are due. This may very well mean that the site is keeping its word and doing measures to avoid problems that operating without limits will incur. It is even stated that your money will still be safe and intact while they go down and improve their site. So you do not have to worry about getting ripped off, at least for now.

[presynaras]

Oh it's scam eh?

[sueeccard]

FYI: I joined RebateGold just to give the owner the benefit of doubt. She states in her email to GPTCashCow members that RebateGold payments will be sent out weekly. I cashed out February 2 and still have not received anything. It was only for 6 bucks!! I am also owed around $100 from gptcashcow. I don't expect to ever get anything. The owner doesn't answer emails or trouble tickets, even though you are encouraged to contact her with questions.

Just an aside: One thing I feel bad about is there were always nice people in the shoutbox at gptcashcow that stuck up for her(the owner). Either she made them look really bad, or maybe they got paid. Hmmm.........

[F.Brook]

So. Where is Reagan Stringer?? She closed down GPT Cash Cow, without paying for months. I am still not paid, just like many other faithful, loyal members of that site. STILL NOTHING. She now is not paying the members of the other site she wanted everyone to join, Rebate Gold. And now... here is a surprise - she is not paying publishers on her CPA Momentum network! She doesn't answer emails or IMs
- what is going on? I see many posts on this forum where she blasted other people for not paying members, for any number of things, and even for not coming here to this forum to answer. Now- all these posts, and no response from Reagan?? AMAZING. Even more amazing, where are all the forum regulars to blast her for these obviously scammy moves, like they would others who scammed hundreds of members
??

Knock knock, Reagan, where are you??? Where is everyone's money that they are owed? Are you so special that you just don't have to pay, or answer to anyone at all???

[Jennifer72]

Hopefully she will come here and explain but from what I've read here it's not looking promising.

Remember you can always submit a complaint for non payment to GPT Boycott.

[mullins67]

as far as i know no one has been paid from gpt cashcow since it was temporarily shut down.i did however receive a payment from her other site rebategold on january25th.but i have a pending payment on rebate gold from february 16th. i havent heard from her either but i also havent tried to contact her in about a month. but i am like everyone else just waiting and hoping.hopefully she has just hit a rough spot right now and will get everything figured out and pay all her members. but i wont come in here bashing her because i dont know what the real circumstances are. i will try to contact her and if i get a response back i will let you all know. last i heard about 2 weeks ago from someone else she was experiencing bad weather and internet troubles.i have always had the best luck with getting a response back from her in the past by sending her emails.

[sueeccard]

I hope you have better luck getting a reply from her. She doesn't answer my emails to either site, gptcashcow or rebate gold. I don't enjoy "bashing" her but I, like many others, are tired of excuses. I'm sure she got some benefit from all the work we did for her. She needs to do the honorable thing and pony up.

[mullins67]

i sent reagan an email 2 days ago and still havent received a response back yet.

has anyone tried contacting her maybe through facebook?or maybe spoke with her on facebook. shes not replying through email so i thought maybe she may reply through facebook. i would try contacting her through facebook but i dont have a facebook account

[babygirl23326]

Hi. Me and another member was block from her facebook for what reason i dont know..Because i have sent her not one email about my payments i am owed i dont know what going on and have know clue as to why I got one of my friend pages and tried to look her up it seems as if she dont exist on there u cant find her no where..i Just would like a update or something...

[Jennifer72]

Yes, I checked yesterday and it appears the FB page has been taken down.

I suggest you submit a complaint for non payment.

http://www.gptboycott.com/submit.php

[sueeccard]

Interesting... I just checked and as of today she has shut down the Rebate Gold site. Guess we can kiss that $$ goodbye.

[mullins67]

my daughter has fb and i just now checked and she can bring up reagans fb page. i logged into my daughters account and went to where you can type in a name at the top.but she doesnt talk to reagan because she is never on when my daughter gets on fb.

[Jennifer72]

I searched GPTCashCow on FB and that's what was gone.

I think I found Reagans, but wasn't sure.

If she isn't answering emails to her site, I highly doubt you'll get her on FB.

[jennteel]

Reagan took down the cashcow fb page I am sure. As for her private page I believe she was only keeping non GPT friends and family on there. That is about all I can help comment on.

[Jennifer72]

Thanks :) I have a feeling both sites are gone or will be soon, no responses to questions is not a good sign.

Hopefully she will come and respond and prove us wrong.

[mullins67]

when i type in rebategold and try to go to it it says this site is expired.gptcashcow may be next . i sure hope not

[Merlin2307]

I have obtained the whois of gptcashcow.com. If anyone desires it,you can PM me and give me your email address and I will send it to you.:alien:

[Merlin2307]

Well if you have the who is then you have access to address and phone to contact her and find out maybe that is if she replies to that address and if the phone is good. JMO:alien:

[cynleecash]

Thanks :) I have a feeling both sites are gone or will be soon, no responses to questions is not a good sign.

Hopefully she will come and respond and prove us wrong.


Reagan, the owner of GptCashCow.com, RebateGold.com and her affiliate network, cpamomentum.com has closed down all these sites without any warning. All the people she owed money are out of luck.

:( I feel bad for all the members that have lost there hard earned money from this scamster. :(

[johnsilver52]

we all know the who is.the owner is reagan stringer. we are wondering about getting in touch with her and what her plans are for gptcashcow

As a long time friend Mullins.. I really hate to see you get dragged into this deeper than it already is.

One suggestion for those looking for Reagan without giving anything out.. Try searching for her actual business she has and getting that contact information.. ;)

JS

[mullins67]

thanks john

i would say the best bet is to just wait and see what happens i am not going to post anything further on this thread.i have tried contacting reagan like everyone else but with no response. so i will just sit back and wait to see what happens

[purity70]

Just an aside: One thing I feel bad about is there were always nice people in the shoutbox at gptcashcow that stuck up for her(the owner). Either she made them look really bad, or maybe they got paid. Hmmm.........

sueeccard, those nice people were and are just that ...nice people.
and no they werent paid to stick up for Reagan ,heck they werent paid at all.
And as for her internet issues, thats getting old, if you can get on your phone and make facebook comments daily then you can reply to all the members who busted their butts for you.

But on another note...ppl do crazy things over money and i dont think encouraging a bunch of ticked off ppl to look up her home address is a good ideal, no amount of money owed to me is worth directing people to her home address ,where her children live.

[sueeccard]

purity70: I apologize for any disparaging remarks I made to shoutbox members of gptcashcow. That was really not my intention, although when I re-read what I wrote it did sound bad. I was hoping to jolt Reagan to come and explain things, or at least apologize for messing up.

You are right about not attempting to contact her at home because of her kids. But some day they will be old enough to google her name and well, Reagan should think about the example she is setting. If she would just apologize that would be enough for me.

[purity70]

sueeccard, i understand,but hun i dont think you are gonna get any response from Reagan after all this time.
It's pretty sad,that she wont come on and respond ,since in all the bashing post she seems to be the first to respond.And it's even more sad that all the nasty things she has said in post about others , is just want she is doing .

But while we are all here, i just want to tell ya ,i miss ya all in shout box , even without being paid for months ya'll were the reason i logged in , your a great bunch of ppl and im sorry this has happened to any of you.

And Reagan if you read this , im over being mad at you, i wasted to much time working your site, listening to lame excuses, believing in you and sticking up for you,and waiting for payments, and being ticked off,just to have you treat it all as if it doesnt matter to you at all,i do believe in what goes around comes around.
I hope everyday you think about your older members who may have needed that lil xtra money to fill their meds, or the momma's who struggled to make a few xtra dollars to put a pair of shoes on their kids feet.
And lets not forget the ppl who believed in you.

[mullins67]

thanks purity

i to miss talking to everyone in the shoutbox. there were alot us who stood by reagan thru thick and thin. i think its a dirty shame she wont even come on here and explain herself.she deleted my daughter from her facebook.my daughter never even talked to her on there. oh well life goes on. but from now on, i am going to watch and i am not going to wait for payouts because of excuse after excuse. it was constantly excuses from her.i always thought the world of reagan and stuck up for her like alot of other members did also. then to get treated like we are a worthless nothing after all we done for her. well i hope she can sleep at night knowing what she has done.

[daad]

Don't get any mail this is normal --!!!

[buckfever]

Weather is warming up, time for a little road trip to her town and spread the word about what a scammer she is.
Remember how she talked about how other site owners scammed their members?

[wagygirl]

I have many friends who are still waiting for payment from GPTCashCow. I'm afraid that we will all wait in vain. She has resorted to opening a new site instead of paying her debts in GPTCashCow. It's pretty clear she has "cut bait and run". A lot of people get overwhelmed with debt and just start over. Sadly, it looks like she has too. :(

What new site? If there is a new one, we all need to know.

This quote is adjusted to what I meant to say.

Have had to be away from the GPT world again the last few months and have to be away some more due to some unexpected circumstances, but this was REALLY disappointing and disturbing news to read about. Sigh.
