Caramel Cash (SwallowBay) scammers did not pay

Another VR porn sponsor scam.

I noticed that popular VR porn site SwallowBay.com had a new site (AsianSexVR.com), so I thought I'd log into my dashboard (first time in a few months) to grab the links. I have a good domain for it - 'AsiansVR.com'.

Anyway, I couldn't log in because it said my account is not available. The contact form wasn't working either, so I contacted them via SwallowBay customer support. They replied almost immediately saying they had abandoned their affiliate program due to a fraud issue. I asked them if I had been paid my outstanding balance as I can't remember ever being paid by them, even though I had sent them a sale every week or so for over a year. They replied saying that if my account had reached the minimum of $500 i would have been paid.
I asked them how would I know if my account had reached that limit as I can't log in, and they haven't replied.

I did not receive any notification that they had closed their affiliate program (which seems to hae been in April or May), so I was still promoting them all this time.

There is an old thread on here from when they first shut down the program.. must have been 2-4 years ago..?

I know for a fact they did pay some that contacted them, but I'm sure the ones that didn't contact them got treated like you..

hopefully you will get what they owe you

An earlier thread:

They also operated HighTechBucks which they shut down.

They still operate SexLikeReal I believe.

Thanks, I somehow missed that thread at the time. I doubt if they are going to pay me now without legal action. As I don't have access to my affiliate account, I don't know what they owe me and whether it is worth it. I can't remember them ever paying me, so I would guess that the rebills must have pushed me above $500 since they closed.

If SexLikeReal are the same company it means they are based in Slovenia and I could pursue it under the EU small claims procedure. I have to do it anyway for the Pornify.CC scammers who are based in Cyprus and owe me $2K.
