To WildWestDomains: Site Owner Matthew Graves Refuses to Pay Commissions

Matthew Graves under the company name of Web’s Best Marketing has been stealing commissions owed to his site members for years. I am only one of SO MANY people Matthew Graves has stolen commissions from.  Others are documented on this forum.  It goes on for about 13 pages.
 
http://www.marketingcheckpoint.com/topic/3555-matthew-graves/
 
Matthew Graves has over 30,000 members on his sites.  Matthew launches a new site just about every month.  Members promote the site launches to get referrals.  Each new launch adds 500 to 1000 or more new members, with a percentage of those members purchasing monthly, annual, or lifetime memberships.  Premium Members earn 50% commission on Premium Membership Upgrades, Paid Referral Programs, Solo Ad Purchases, and Coaching Programs made by referrals they bring in.  
 
Commission Payment Policy
 
The Commission Payment Policy is posted on the site. Lifetime commissions are tallied and posted to the Commission Overview section of each site, and referral purchases are listed in Commission Details.  Commission “owed” shown in the Commission Overview is subject to 30 day “hold” to accommodate chargebacks.  All “Commissions Owed” on or before the 15th of the previous month are to be paid on the 15th of the current month.  
 
Requests for payouts are ignored.  No response to emails, support requests, or voicemails to his cell phone are ever received unless drastic measures such as mine get his attention.
 
I Have Invested Thousands

I have paid literally THOUSANDS of dollars in Founders Memberships, a Site Partnership, Lifetime Pass, Premium Memberships (before Lifetime Pass), etc.   I have been at the top of the Leader Boards for most of the launches in the last 3 years and have EARNED HIM THOUSANDS in revenue. 

Safelist Owners Take Action

I own 9 safelist advertising membership sites, and admin over 200 sites for Dave Mosher who owns over 300 safelist advertising membership sites and 15 SuperNetworks.  Because Matthew refuses to pay me and others, I have blocked his domains from my 9 advertising sites, and in solidarity, Dave Mosher has blocked them on all 300+ of his advertising sites.  Other site owners are joining this protest by blocking him on their advertising sites also.  This means that over 3,000 members of my 9 advertising sites and 541,000 members of Dave Mosher’s advertising sites cannot advertise any sites owned by Matthew Graves.  Our members cannot get referrals or generate revenue for Matthew Graves by posting advertisements such as banners or text links, or by sending emails from our sites.

Matthew Graves Suspended All My Accounts

Not only does Matthew Graves owe me over $1,200 in commissions and refuses to pay me, but in retaliation for suspending his domain names on my safe list sites, he suspended all of the accounts I have with him. I can’t even find out how much he owes me now

The last partial commission payment I received was in December 2020.  He tells me that I am the 3rd highest commission earner on his sites. I offered to accept partial payments.  He agreed to a weekly payment plan, but has never made one payment as to our agreement.

Denial of Services I Paid For

I cannot even use the 25+ MAILERS I PAID PREMIUM MEMBERSHIPS FOR.

Matthew promoted launches of new sites with promised functionality to both Free and Premium members.  The functionality and upgrades were never delivered.  Examples:  YourViralBanners, WhatWorks4Me, Webs Best Traffic Club.

I have NEVER received Site Partner Revenue Sharing nor a portion of the Partner Referrals for 100 Percent Mailer and CANNOT REALIZE THOSE PARTNER BENEFITS BECAUSE 100 Percent Mailer has been OFFLINE since AUGUST.  Is it a coincidence that only AFTER he suspended my accounts, did 100 Percent Mailer come back online?

No Payment AGAIN in February.  His Explanation…

​Please confirm receipt of this complaint. I am available to discuss the facts I have presented, and would like to learn about any recommendations you might have.

 
My goal is simple: get paid for commissions I have earned, and get the dozens of members also owed commissions paid.  Any actions are strictly to bring attention to unethical business practices.  I will champion the removal of restrictions if these grievances are corrected.
 
By the way, Matthew has dual citizenship in USA and Canada, which makes legal action difficult.   
I have filed complaints with the Federal Trade Commission, Halifax NS Consumer Protection agency,  Amazon Web Services, and his Merchant Account platform provider.   
His business address is a rented mailbox at the UPS Store in Winter Garden, Florida.  Since your company maintains the domain registrations, the information he provided should be suspect.

I will say that the YourSuccessAdvantage system does work.  I think it is hilarious that, even though I am not PROMOTING anything by Matthew, and my accounts are suspended, I am still getting emails announcing new referrals (that are being added to my Aweber) and that I have EARNED NEW COMMISSIONS.  I just cannot see my member area or email from those sites.

Hi Rich​

I am prioritizing commission requests based on how long the commissions have been owing and how much affiliates are working the system as intended.  Those whose unpaid commissions were earned earlier are getting priority.
Since you received payments late last year, there are other YSA members who have commissions that were due for payment before yours.  Your request for commissions is in my spreadsheet and I am working my way down the list.
Hope that helps.
Matthew

NOTICE: Matthew Graves Sites Blocked

As admin for 9 sites of my own, I have blocked all URLs and content promoting Matthew’s programs

 Any ads or content for his programs will not be approved. Your ads will be returned to your account.

This includes sites:

SoloAdsWork, FunSoloAds, SuperLinkSolos, AeroMailsClub, AmazingTextAds, ViperTextAds, HotTextAds, InstantCashEngine, and 4AcesMailer

Other owners like Maryanne Myers and Darren Olander have already taken similar actions.  Dave Mosher is ready to ban all Matthew’s sites and content on all 300+ of his safelists 

 

I will no longer be promoting offers by Matthew Graves nor will I allow promotion on my safelists for Your Success Advantage, Your Viral Network Mailers,  Supercharged Solo Ads or any coaching programs.

There are so many good things I have gotten from Matthew Graves’ programs:

  • Amazing list building capability
  • Frequent Launches to keep energy and interest high
  • Great rewards and incentives
  • Autopilot Done-For-You system

BUT

Matthew Graves DOES NOT PAY YOUR HARD EARNED COMMISSIONS.  I’ve earned literally THOUSANDS of dollars in commissions but it is like pulling teeth to get paid.  

I have consistently been in the top 20 on leader boards for launches over the past 3 years and have made HIM a ton of money.  He currently owes me over $1200 in back commissions and does not respond to emails, invoices, and support requests to resolve this issue.  I have even gotten him to agree to a weekly payment plan, but he has never made a single payment per our agreement. 

This is the definition of a SCAM.

See my blog for actions that have been taken so far.

Amazon AWS Case Number: 50815037589

In response to AmazonAWS request for additional information regarding evidence of fraud by Matthew Graves by refusing to pay affiliate commissions, non-delivery of functionality, and unfulfilled partnerships on applications hosted by Amazon AWS.

This is only one small example but demonstrates a consistent pattern of abuse of HIS own commissions policy.

Commissions Policy posted on QuickStartMailer.com

We pay 50% commissions on Premium Upgrades by anyone on your list. That includes random referrals and those passed up to you.

Commissions are paid by Zelle (US Only), Payoneer (In Process), and Coin Payments/Bitcoin.

There is a 30 day hold to allow for refunds. Payments are made the 15th of each month on all upgrades which were made before the 15th of the previous month. For example, payment will be made March 15th for all commissions earned up to February 15th. You must have a minimum of $20 in owing commissions and have provided the information to complete the transfer to be paid.

Volley of emails on 10/1/2020 where Matthew acknowledges poor accounting and accepts my amounts due.  At that time, $54.50 commission for the newly launched QuickStartMailer was earned but not payable until 11/15/2020.

Partner Site Unavailability

I paid $500 to become a Site Partner for 100 Percent Mailer.  Revenue Sharing and a portion of unassigned referrals was promised in that partnership solicitation.  This site has been offline since at least as far back as August.

Here are the rewards promised when you become a Site Partner.

Site Partners get a share of all the revenue from the site, plus a guaranteed 500 subscribers added to their list for every share.

His sign-up page:

https://websbest.samcart.com/products/partner-onepage/

I never received any revenue sharing payments, and because the site  has been down, I cannot see my commissions earned and referrals.

I requested numerous times to be assigned as Site Partner to another functioning site.

Founding Partner Positions

Founding Partners was another way for Matthew to raise money.  There is no direct tracking so I cannot definitively state which of these benefits I have received or not.  Here was his pitch.  I bought 2 Founding Partner shares at $1000 each.

These benefits are exclusive to Founding Partners.
    • Founding Partners get Lifetime Premium Membership at Your Success Advantage, but also get:
    • Lifetime Random Referrals from All My Promotions (Only Founding Members Get Random Referrals)
    • 500 Guaranteed Random Referrals Added to Your Email Funnel in YSA plus your Auto-Responder
    • Rotation in the back end pages plus emails of their referral links in over 100 different traffic programs and tools
    • Another 1,000 Guaranteed Prospects Added to Your Auto-Responder From Other Member’s Promotions
    • Ongoing Random Referrals and Prospect Referrals for Life
    • Profit Sharing on All the Revenue from the Site
    • 1 Year of Unlimited Credits at All 17 of my Mailers (Email the Entire List Everyday Without Clicking)
    • 1 Year of Mentoring in my Quick Start Coach Mentoring Program
    • Matthew  will be running over $10,000 in paid advertising in the first 30 days after launch and giving all those signups to Founding Partners.
