The winter seemed to last forever, In Feb 2016, an Indian reached me out via FB Messenger that he was interested to work with me in a Blog named as "TRICKIZM.COM", as an article writer (As I was good in writing about smartphone app guides). He already has purchased the domain and hosting for his WordPress Blog. He was just needed a writer who could write articles on daily basis of technology niche as a partner.
The conditions which made before starting
- 40% share
- 20 posts a month
- Every Article should be above 1500 word count.
- After 2 months of working, I'll get 40% share.
- Extra investment on blog will be 40% and 60%
- Hosting and Domain charges will be equally divided as the ratio of 40/60%.
It means everything will be 40% mine. I agreed that I could write only 20 articles per month. He shook his head then work started from 10th Feb 2016. He made me an Editor there, he didn't gimme an access of Admin Panel even I asked about that but he said nothing will be hide you so no worries. I trust him as per the previous good happenings.
The blog published only few articles before my starting and all other necessity pages were published. After some time, he tried to gain my trust towards him that he is the most loyal person in the globe so I could trust him easily. He wrote a About us page with my name with fake nationality that I'm behind this blog. Take a peek at the below screenshot..
I though he is fair enough to me regarding partnership but I was wrong and regret now that why I trusted him and why I didn't ask weekly report of the blog? Lemme tell you the exact story after 8 months of continuously working on it except two months of vacations when I got a serious accident.
After 8 months he asked me to left the blog for 305 USD (it means its 8 months hard work payment, hilarious, see the below screenshot for proof where I received payment in my Payoneer Account). I argued him why should I leave and for what reason? He said to me, I don't want you to be more with me as a partner because the blog hasn't getting any traffic and not a single article has ranked yet which you wrote. So, there is no earning while a good blog easily ranked in the first three months.
Well, after a long conversation, I said okay fine if you don't want then no problem but this money is very little and I can't accept it at any cost. He has made various lame excuses to not to tell exact thing which I came to know within few seconds (See the below screenshot).
The above screenshot which I took from the Ahref tool which tell you about the website that how many this site has organic keywords and traffic. I checked the site statistics when he was trying to make me fool and wants me to leave this website forever for just 305$. I was just shocked to see the original stats with opened eyes that what the hell is wrong with me? He made me fool from the very first day. I couldn't stop myself to not to trust anyone anymore blindly. I was dumb for the very first time in my life ever.
What the blog stats depicted?
The blog has ranked on 11.3k Organic keywords and that person told me NO ARTICLE HAS RANKED. It has 4.4k organic traffic as well and that person lying me about that NO TRAFFIC IS COMING FROM GOOGLE SEARCH ENGINE. Disgusting!! If articles are ranked that means the Google traffic is coming to your blog directly. As per this huge volume of ranking articles, you can earn much more than 500$ per month as per online experts. And, he is lying me again and again that no earning has started yet. Even when I asked for Google AdSense access then he denied that he sold out the connected Google AdSense.
Now he is running his blog by posting more stuff. Why he didn't leave the blog if there was no earning?? Why he is posting there? For which purpose? This WHY making him suspicious.
He broke my trust badly and now I can't trust anyone at any cost in the Online field. That was the worst experience of my life and I successfully wasted my time out there with no profit. He #scammed by cheating me.
Last but not least, I would love to offer Thumbs Up to @swissclive who has given me a chance to share my scam story with all of you via #Steemit. Please pardon me as I'm not a good story writer. I found it a bit difficult to write.
