Well, I see I was on the right track. The campaign still appears as 'open' but:
OP messaged us participants that this campaign has already stopped so, stop applying everyone. Thanks Reaver and jokerbet.
Hello, the admin department asked me to stop this campaign. We aren't getting any traffic from here.
Thank you for the marketing payment data. It will be processed to the relevant department after everything's calculated.
[...]everyone can remove their signatures and avatars now.
Best regards,
Reaver.
This was four days ago and I also think, just like Mpamaegbu:
I believe OP is intentional about leaving it "OPEN". It gives them more unpaid exposure for their business as users continue to wear campaign paraphernalia and bump this thread. It's a win for them.
I'm thinking of leaving a red tag on MoonReaver's profile since, basically, what he has achieved is getting free advertising on the forum for a few days. I don't know if it will make much of a difference, as he hasn't logged into the forum since the 11th, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't take action.
The thing is, he’s been really cheeky since he asked applicants to carry the signature to apply and then cancelled the campaign because, supposedly, they weren’t getting the traffic they wanted before even starting. To me, it’s a scam, plain and simple. A minor one, but a scam nonetheless. We'll have to wait and see if they receive any payment, but at this moment, I really doubt it.
And I think we should stay vigilant to see if anyone complains about the casino because, given this track record, it wouldn’t be surprising if issues arise. In that case, I think a newbie warning flag would be worth considering.
