OTTAWA (CP) - Consumers who bought Zyapex and Dyapex Diet Patches can get a full refund from Performance Marketing Ltd., which made false claims about the product, the Competition Bureau said Monday.

"Performance Marketing made claims that the patches were a safe and natural weight-loss product, giving the false impression that without performing any physical exercise or dieting, a person could lose weight, ," the bureau said in a statement. The diet patches cost between $39.95 and $109.95 US.

Consumers can receive a full refund by contacting Performance Marketing at 1-888-777-6661.

"Performance Marketing also failed to enforce its (Internet) anti-SPAM policy, which led to its affiliates' use of SPAM as a means of selling Performance Marketing's products," the bureau said.

Performance has also agreed to make sure SPAM is not used to sell its products.

The case was the first under the bureau's Project FairWeb, "a dedicated Internet surveillance and enforcement program aimed at combatting misleading and deceptive advertising found on the Internet."

wow,

sure Kevin and Dwayne are not happy. oops

Those were the guys with the bus at Swan-e-set , for the golf that I thrashed past in the Porsche , aren't they?

I called up that number

It does seem to be Duane and Kevin of Extreme Pay

Looks like they are pretty fucked...i would be more worried about the fraudulent penis pills and other pharmacies they are dipped into

Now is the time for them to bankrupt and run!

I'm sueing them, i didn't lose weight, join the class action, call me! :cdance:

Those were the guys with the bus at Swan-e-set , for the golf that I thrashed past in the Porsche , aren't they?

...the very same.

we shot a gay orgy on that bus for a DVD release.. Ricky Martin was not involved though. Sorry....

so, basically, they're going to lose a shitload of money because they didn't bother to put a disclaimer about exercising and diet as part of the complete program?

Although I wonder how many are going to bother to ask for their refunds? 5-10% maybe?

Who cares about the diet pill aspect of their business

think about all the other phony products they sell that they haven't gone after them for yet, let alone non-doctor non-pharmacist online pharmacies...

http://www.extremepay.com/pages/products/index.html

Word on the street is....

They are fucked.

Maybe someone from there would like to come and retort?

I am not suing anybody, my penis grew 2 extra inches....

sorry to see that happen.

Im not. One less bag of trash that needs to be taken out.

Wow been a long time... My username did not work anymore ;-)

Nick aren't you jumping the gun a little bit. Xtremepay = Fuck. Come on stop the drama.

How many packs of diet patch do you think they have sold. How many US based clients will come out to claim there money back cause they are fat and wanted to try an alternate method to lose weight ???

Yes it's never good to get hit like this by the goverment but i can assure you that they are not FUCKED as you are saying and that Duane and Kevin are not going anywhere.

I am sure you had your share of bad luck in the past or even mistake you made and you paid for. Bottom line is you are still around and still have people willing to do business with you and that is what I wish to Xtremepay as well.

"Yes it's never good to get hit like this by the goverment"

When you are selling fraudulent products and selling illegal pharmacuticals it's wise not to be in the spot light like this :)

Oh sorry, bring spamming into the mix.

On a side note...who will be representing Extremepay in Las Vegas? I wouldn't want to be traveling into the USA with the pharmacy / spam / fraudulent product mix on my back

You're right , Jman.

Changed the title of the thread to

""Xtreme pay = Liars""

"made false claims" , I would say is lying , isn't it?

For fuck sakes Nick, are you getting wood on this.

Yes they made a mistake and yes they will pay for it. Does that make you feel better that I say this.

I work with Duane and Kevin on a consulting contract and they will do what is necessary to get this sorted out as smooth as possible.

You guys make me laugh it's like you guys have never done anything in your life. Right???

You are so fucking clean Eh?

Now I will not be hiding but don't see the necessity on hanging out here to continue posting about this news. If you want to ask me questions or talk about the weather hit me up on ICQ : 124588247

Ta.

What i heard is the canadian government may be requesting certain documents of affiliates of these fradulent products to investigate and question further...

Is this true at all or is ExtremePay protecting their webmasters from releasing any information of the scandal they have caused?

I am curious as i am an extreme pay affiliate, and a few friends who are as well are a little worried about their pharmacy ventures as well as this ofcourse.

What effect will this have on us? And extremepay in general?

Who is the counsel representing?

hey JF.

sup fella

I didn't...I ONLY killed a few people according to Luke Ford, and this si it! Clean as a whistle, please reffer to me as Mr.Clean from now on!

....making a note to pack a can of whitewash for Vegas to give to Jman.

LMAO Serge, I knew it about the killings, i beleive they are berried in the sand somewhere in the carribeans ;-).

I was about to say White but then i saw all the accusation of being racist coming down on me so I changed the wording.

I can call you mr clean but as long as you give a hug to Miss Clean from me ;-)

StreetRacer, nothing will change to Xtremepays affiliate and Ruth is working on a release to be send out to all our affiliates in regards to this issue.

We are not hiding anything form anyone and none of our affiliates will suffer from this.

Now my question to you is if you are an affiliate and have concerns why don't you hit Ruth or me so we can deal with your concerns.

Sup Mate,

How is the program Bankingbucks.com doing ?

hey, stop being frisky with my wife!
;-)))

don't you have some train to catch?
;-)))

You fucking little wanker!!!

"""Now I will not be hiding but don't see the necessity on hanging out here to continue posting about this news. """""

Good!!! I'll have fucking field day with it ,without having to listen to your outright admission of guilt and attempt at deflecting the wrong doing of your company onto the members of this board.

Saying I'm getting wood on this?????

Thats the fucking professional management attitude that got you into this shit .

Like wandering around one of BCs most prestige country clubs with "I seel drugs" on a Tshirt.

Fuck you :)

hey, stop being frisky with my wife!
;-)))

That's ok there is another one early in the am which will get me at home on time. B)

"We are not hiding anything form anyone and none of our affiliates will suffer from this."

I did speak to ruth. She said she will be e-mailing us all.

Sorry had to edit the post, i didn't want to admit i was promoting illegal drug sales with ExtremePay

Did someone hurt your feelings by not giving you one of our vintage t-shirts.

Poor thing give me your addy and I will make sure to send you a personalized one just for you nick..." I'm ON Drugs!!!"

Think i will stick around this is getting pretty amusing for a cold tuesday night.

Oh and by the way ...

Love you to :P

don't you wanna get home as early as possible?
;-)))

No not tonight, it's to warm and fuzzy over here. I rather stay and cuddle ;))

well, we have a "train to catch", the show starts in one hour
;-)

c u!
;-))

Later Serge, Have fun tonight.

ahahahahahahaha

I'd have one of those Tshirts.

Difference is I'm clean and sober.

So...seriously.

Don't you now think the RCMP is giving you a rectal examination as we speak?

Rectal,

Had one of those before at canadian customs. Turned out to be a pretty Ironic story.

Now as per ME... I consult for Xtremepay affiliate program. So if they want to rectanalyze me for running a online consulting company then be my guess.

Oh and I am glad you got clean and Sober... Congrads you ROCK!!! :rokk:

So in a nutshell, Jman has clarified for Extremepay:

1) Extremepay has admitted to frauding consumers
2) Is traffiking drugs through online pharmacutical sites
3) Will stick around and do the time

Okay, Nuff said :)

Oh and 4) Some guy named JMAN makes himself look like an ass with every post

ah.

ok.

hehe.

I hope they at least kiss you first

Getting gang banged by mounties without any foreplay :unsure:

wait.....................and i should speak to ruth about how extreme pay and myself should cover our asses

hah :)

Love it

Fair enough...look not pissing...trying to be reasonable....


After this publicity , I would guess , the local Mounties have gone.."Hmmm thats interesting , let have a little nose around and see what we find"

Hell they have prolly received complaints by wronged clients.

Logical?

Therefore IF , and I'll agree thats a big IF as yet , there are any skeletons in the cupboard , one or two are gonna tumble out.

Yes why son't you do that StreetRacer.

Funny how you admit to be an affiliate and take money from a Sponsor like Xtremepay and at the first note that something went wrong you turn around and bash the hand that feeds you.

Now go ask your momma to give you back your balls, they are probably at the bottom of her purse, and hit me up on ICQ. 124588247

I will take any money i can get, thats the sort of guy i am :)

I profited off extreme pay, now they'll fall, and i'll go to church and hope i do not get in trouble and if i do...my wife is pregnant, i can't afford to go to jail, sorry your honor these guys told me it was legal to market

I didn't realise being an affiliate of extremepay would have these sort of consequences. The crew over there at extreme pay really does care about their employees well being then...

I see someone else read the same book on marketing. Just because Amazon has it on sale doesnt mean its any good.

Id get a refund.

The RCMP will investigate in illegal activities, Selling Herbal enhancement products is not illegal.

There is a shitload of nature product store out there that sell you things for asthma, hair growth, Acneeand weight lost that are similar.....

Now Xtremepay did not have a proper disclaimer and they got hit by a consumer that brought it up to autorities. So what they pay the fine and relook there business strategy and continue to make money.

This as happened before to companies and will continue to happen.

"The RCMP will investigate in illegal activities, Selling Herbal enhancement products is not illegal."

What about the other illegal pharmacutical sites me and my friends were promoting through extreme pay?!!?!?!??!

Do i need to pull urls for you?!?!?!?!

Am i going to get into trouble for this to?!?!!?

Sorry Gonzo but if you would take a step back and look at my approach i am doing the right thing.

When you want to talk to a child you got to bend down and talk there language so if I am adressing a teenager then I use a language that he will understand.

I know who Streetracer is and it's sad to see a kid like this old so much gruges against a company.

Oh well maybe one day they will grow up

Allright it's 7:30 and I am off for diner.

Later Nick,

Later Rodney and if you guys want to hit me up you can habe ALL my finfo in my profile.

Au revoir les amis :awinky:

Bon appetit..

Before you go , No comments on this?

"Allright it's 7:30 and I am off for diner. "

He'll be back once he eats out all McDonalds has got!

Hi folks...

I don't have a whole heap of time, and it may seem that I'm posting and bailing, but I will be back tomorrow - I have no choice but to post and leave since I commute daily and cannot afford to miss my transportation - but please rest assured this matter is not being taken lightly.

Yes, we have been co-operating with the Canadian Governments Competition Bureau's Project Fairweb team to resolve the issue.

We have signed an agreement with the Competition Bureau that is NOT RELATED to the RCMP or any other LAW agency. This is a Government matter based on apparent false misrepresentations through marketing practices.

According to the registered document:

We said the diet patch (and ONLY DIET PATCH) product was 100% safe and natural without having clinical data to back those claims.

IN addition to this, they say we advertised that the product would make you lose up to 10lbs in just 7 days without any additional dieting or exercise routine required.

We have agreed to refund the 42 (yes, that figure is right - 42) Canadian customers concerned with this product, and the Competition Bureau is satisfied with our compliance and co-operation.

Project Fairweb is 'a dedicated Internet surveillance and enforcement program aimed at combating misleading and deceptive advertising found on the Internet'. That is all.

There are no criminal charges pending.
There is no RCMP involvement.
Our affiliate's information, as EVER, is PRIVATE and CONFIDENTIAL as per our TERMS and CONDITIONS.

IF ANYONE has a question or wants more information about this issue or anything else relating to XtremePay or otherwise, I am MORE THAN HAPPY to discuss this matter with you on a one-on-one basis - just hit me up on ICQ #233854608 or MSN rblair250@hotmail.com - or email me ruth@xtremepay.com - that gives you LOTS of options to get a hold of me for more information.

Streetracer - you make claims that you have spoken with me and that I have told you we are preparing a mailout to affiliates. Well, I have NO IDEA who you are, have never spoken to you that I'm aware of - and I have not spoken about THIS issue with any affiliates as yet since I have been busy in other areas of the company today.

Thank you everyone for your interest. Again, the situation is DEALT WITH - there is no reason to panic and all affiliates can rest assured that, as ever, your privacy is assured with us.

Those cocksuckers in Atlanta.... fucking GSU. I hate them I hate them all. Your telling me that I spent all that money on those marketing classes and they lied to me....and all this time nobody has told me!

Let me get this right....

1. Take one step back and look
2. Come to a board that you dont frequent and just piss all over the place.
3. Admit to fraudulent biz practices
4. Acknowledge that they might have been breaking the law.
5. Tell everyone this will not impact afiliates.
6. After insulting them offer them your ear for further wisdom.

SUAVE!!!

Do you consult for Globill,Ibill and Stupidcash too?


Im going downtown first thing in the AM and whipping Noah Langdales ass and pissing on my diploma to show him how worthless it is!

Thanks man!

Good post , and thank you :)

Do you also run an online pharma?
