If you joined E-junkie to participate in another seller's affiliate program to earn commissions on sales of their product, it is that seller's responsibility to provide support to their own affiliates.



E-junkie is just a software service that merchants (sellers) use to manage their own Affiliate program independently, so we can't really advise you on what instructions they may want you to follow or how they choose to administer their program using our software.



This page explains the basic functions of using the E-junkie affiliate system as an affiliate:

http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.for-affiliates.htm



Please contact the merchant who operates your affiliate program with any other questions you may have about their program. You can use the Contact Merchant function in your E-junkie Affiliate Admin to send a message to the email address we have on file for a given merchant.



E-junkie's affiliate system is free for affiliates to use at no charge. If you have paid a merchant any "upfront money" or subscription fe to participate in any affiliate program being managed through our system, we forbid that kind of scheme on our system and will suspend any merchant accounts in our system who are discovered to be conducting such activity. If you have already paid any fees for any affiliate program, we would strongly recommend that you attempt to get the charges reversed through your credit card issuer or by filing a complaint with the online payment service which handled your checkout for that fee.

I signed up with smartappsdownloader also & cannot even get an answer to a phone call or any emails.I believe we have been taken in by a scam

Yeah i thought they were legit also.But i cannot get any support from them at all. Have you had any success in selling the apps at all?

Yeah i just got an email from another person that is having the same problem with them.Would appreciate any help Tyson as i too think they should bei nvestigated. Thank You. lets all stay in touch about this matter.

I talked with smartapps support this am. They said they were experiencing technical difficulties with e-junkie. They were not aware of the post on this message board by e-junkie. I sent it to them. I have not heard anything back yet and my links on my portal site are still down. I also asked about the two tabs at the top of our pages that link back to e-junkie. The guy at smartapps said that he was looking into it and would be taking it to management immediately. That was 4 hours ago. I am waiting. I really wanted this to be the real deal, but I am reluctant to start any advertising until the site works and I am satistified this is not a scam. Keep posting please.

We cannot violate our Privacy Policy by disclosing anything we may know about any particular merchant, but if your links are now resulting in the message "Merchant, Product, Affilite relation, Affiliate percentage or the Hop link has been removed. Please contact the merchant." then this FAQ page will explain that message in more detail:

E-junkie is only a software service provider, and unfortunately, sometimes some unscrupulous merchants may attempt to use our software to conduct scams without our knowledge. As soon as we catch wind of any such activity, we do put a stop to it by suspending their account with us forthwith, as any use of our service for illegal activity is a clear violation of our Terms of Service.



If anyone has paid any money to any merchant they suspect of scamming them, you should immediately file a complaint with your card issuer and/or the online payment processor (e.g. PayPal, 2CheckOut, ClickBank, etc.) who handled your checkout payment for the suspected-fraudulent purchase. Unfortunately, E-junkie is not a payment processor and does not ever handle any actual payment funds at any point in any transaction, so there is nothing we can do regarding refunds, as we had no direct role in any payments to begin with. Check your payment receipt email to see which service may have processed any suspect payments.

I called support about an hour or so ago & they said email was the best way to communicate but said they would call me back[ but they are very busy] if i wanted them to,i left my number along with my ID# & went on to say that people were discussing them all over the internet about them being a scam & if they are not i need them to call me with some support & assurance that they are legit.I hope i am wrong but i have a bad feeling concerning this.

I also signed up with smartappsdownloader last month in May. I cannot get anyone to respond to my emails for help in getting to the next level to make some actual money. I too am beginning to think that we got taken for a ride.

I also signed up with smartappsdownloader on 5/27/09. Now my affiliate link is bad, just goes to a blank page with message, "Merchant, Product, Affilite relation, Affiliate percentage or the Hop link has been removed. I've called everywhere, left messages and emailed several support places and also same mess with the skyscraperads.com site.



I'm reporting these guys........this has the smell of a "boiler room" operation. They just keep on raking in the $$$$$ til they get shut down and then set up another "boiler room" somewhere else.

Who & where do we report these scumbags?

to your payment processor that processed your payments to them. I'm on the 2checkout.com site right now putting in my complaint. They have to investigate it and

get back to you.

Although our privacy policy prohibits me from disclosing any information we may have about any specific merchant, I can say that we can and do shut down the E-junkie accounts of any merchants who are found to be abusing our services to conduct illegal activity. Unfortunately, we can only suspend their account with E-junkie to prevent them from continuing to use our own software services; there is nothing we can do to block any of their other activities that do not directly involve E-junkie's software.



If you have paid any fees to a merchant you suspect of scamming you, look for your payment receipt email from when you paid their fee, and that email message should show you what online payment service they used to process your fee payment. Contact that payment service to file a dispute and request a refund. If you funded that fee payment with a credit card, you should also contact your credit card company to dispute the charges and request a chargeback.



If you wish to pursue legal recourse against fraudulent activity, you should probably contact your State Attorney General's office and/or the FBI.

Thanks, that is what I'm doing.

Hi everybody,



I just got off the phone with my payment processor "2checkout.com" and they have refunded all my money for the affiliate site ($39.00), the clicks2you.com marketing ($49.00), the skyscraperads.com banner ads ($23.00) and my first monthly hosting ($4.81).



I sent them copies of all my support email communications and phone numbers along with the original marketing email that i responded to, that i signed up through.....but, now when you go back to that first email and go to those links, guess what.....they are all inactive.



Anyway, 2checkout.com is investigating this whole deal. I also, went on google and searched for "is smartappsdownloader.com a scam?" and found others that have been thru what we are going thru right now and got their money back.
