I know a lot of people just like me are trying to make a few extra bucks on the internet. This is how I got referred to freelcds4me, one of the many sites in the free4menetwork owned by Peter Kasmin. It's also how I put out money to try offers, referred friends and family to a bogus site and got cheated out of $250. I went into the site, completed the 2 offers and referred 3 friends, which was the requirements to receive $250 sent to my paypal account. When I went in to claim my prize and have it sent out, that's when the fun began. Three days after I qualified for my prize my account was placed on hold. Since then Peter Kasmin has tried every trick in the book to find a reason not to pay me. First I was told that I had multiple accounts on their sites and given a bogus email address that was supposed to have the same IP address as me. I checked out the email address and found that it wasn't even valid, it had belonged to someone who lived hundreds of miles from me and our IP addresses weren't even similiar. Then I was told that because I have dial up internet service that this is the same as using a proxy server and in the terms of service it states that no one can apply for an account in a public place or use a proxy server. I have filed charges on this company with the internet fraud division, filed reports on ripoff.com and with scamclub. You can find these more detailed reports at any of these locations. Bottom line, beware if you go on this site. You may or may not be paid and I guarantee you if at any time you have to deal with Peter Kasmin's arrogant rude attitude, you will find that he has no concern for his customers. None at all.

Good to note that you have sued that person.But there are many scammer sites offering jobs like this online.Even i was scammed by 2 sites in which i invested some money and worked for 2 months getting nothing except waste of time.I was so frustrated that the company neither replied me and they do paid for some members which suprised me after getting a mail from a member who worked for it.

you have done a nice job of nailing fraud people... it was good that you have put a case against him,.. You should have dragged him to court for this... and also hence forth take care that you dont have to pay any site for money making as they are much more famous in fraud making...

free4menetwork is rerouted to freesooftware.org freelcds4me is not longer accessible. In your case, the program is called Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) or Pyramid or Member-get-member or get-rich-scheme. A very harmful program.
