I have heard from another company that used to recommend CyberThrill
(on-line casino that "pays" webmasters) that they may be running a
scam... now I beleive it!

I signed up with CyberThrill and they owe money but won't pay it. They
claim I spammed using CyberThrill or mislead people - I have never
used CyberThrill link in any postings to any newsgroups and only used
their banner on my site.  When I pushed and said, "Hey, you keep
saying the payments are late but it's been months", they wrote the
following back to me:


"Your page was monitored and checked before we sent out the payments.
We discovered that you either modified the banner code provided by us,
you were using a misleading link or we received a report that you were
spamming.

In order to pay the highest rates to our loyal webmasters we have to
implement
a strict policy with regards to advertisers cheating the system.
We do pay all advertisers who use the banner code
without modifying it or using image source, frame source etc.
Unfortunately, we have decided against sponsoring your site.

Thank you"

If  you have signed up for CyberThrill and not been paid yet... don't
expect it. They never even told me about any complaints so that I
could respond to them (as of last night, my account was still actively
reporting payments owed to me!)  Beware of Cyber Thrill!!!!
