Default Passion Ford Is A Rip Off

My mate [h5kcd] paid £20 in november for 2 years membership and basically has got fook all for his money.Passion ford didnt want to know,before that Petrucci didnt want to know and paypal wont reimburse him because it is an internet service and not a product/goods.What the hell does he have to do to get his gold membership started.Hes no interest in passion ford anymore because of this but he should at least get his money back.Has anyone else had this bother
Cheers

Has your mate not thought of contacting admin themselves? or did you just feel the need to chuck a post up in general discussion on his behalf?

Not sure if you are aware that things have changed recently and they seem to be pretty much on the ball.

Contact IB Admin i am sure they will rectify the situation.

I have put this thread up for my mate because he is fed up of passionford and has basically lost interest but i am trying to get him involved again and i know for a fact he has emailed a few people about this and the only reply he got is from paypal.I have even mentioned this on other threads and got know where.He only wants what he paid for, I think thats fair

Your mate needs to grow a set and speak for himself?

The point is he has paid 20 quid for gold membership on here and hasnt recieved it.He has contacted everyone to do with the sight and knowone wants to know but i know that if he gets his membership sorted he may come back on here.What is wrong in helping a mate out who is having a few problems in his life at the mo and if i get him posting on here it may take his mind off his other worries

nothing wrong with helping a mate but if he's already contacted everyone and no ones interested then i cant see whats going to change by you starting a pf is a rip off thread?
you never know though.no one likes to be short changed or ripped off even if it is only £20.

Thanks for that but he has tried to contact IB a couple of times and doesnt even get a reply.I am not sure which member of admin onhere he has contacted i think it may have been stu but i could be wrong.Can any of the mods on here do anything.As per my title that is what he thinks of passionford at the mo and you cant blame him.I used it as a title to get attention which hopefully now may get the problem sorted
Thanks

Just a thought, Petrucci still comes up as Admin, so new members will naturally contact him with the queries. Can he not be removed?

You are trying to get him back on here by declaring the site a rip off publically and starting a row?

Do you promote the local flower show by going and getting pissed outside it and shouting "flowers are shit and you smell of wee" to all the old folks on their way in?

When AJC put his apollogy topic up saying he had been to see me, you asked him:

Not trying to start a row mate,just trying to get someone to listen.As i have stated earlier i like it on here but i do feel my mate was ripped off and no one seemed to give a shit.But hopefully if my mate PMs Stu it will all be sorted out.
