RantsSadly folks, we have been dudded. Eros Boutique offered a marketers' program where, if you had one of their approved ads on your website for 3 consecutive months, you got $250 worth of free sex toys. We put the ad up, advised them of it so that their bots could automatically check it every day for the 3 months and sat back and waited. At the end of the 3 months, we contacted them, but got no reply. We contacted them again, but still have not got a reply. We advised them that if we had not heard back by 24 July 2009, we would be taking the ad down. Eventually I received a bounced email message, so I tried again. I can understand one email message going astray, but not five. And before you ask, yes, the email address was correct; I'd clicked on the link on their own website, so it wasn't a transcripting error on my part. I have since sent a further four emails, some to different addresses, and have received more email bounces.
We have still heard nothing from them. As a result of our experience, we would not go near Eros Boutique again and we don't recommend that you do either. We can only conclude that this was either a rather clever ploy to extract free advertising from unsuspecting website owners, or the company has gone bust. Their website is still there in all its glory; I pity anyone who tries to purchase via the website, as I think they will lose their money.
