Complaint Review: Free Lunch Room - Internet

There are no person on the FLR forum that are employees as some comments alleges.  Mmoderators are NOT paid. 

I did this for several months back in 2008, and I had never ever had any problems with anyone I worked with.  I've traded with at least 1 moderator and she and another trader actually helped me get a situation straightened out when I first started.  I read the posts on message boards and seen what is said by everyone.

To sum it up, i've had nothing but good experiences with this forum, and i'm not a employee of the forum.  The moderator helped get some questions answered and the mods, though not employees, works hard to keep the site as legit and safe for the honest traders.  I've read enough unfair and dishonest statements made about a legit company.

    I was banned for making a comment!  The forum used to have a variety of sites that a trader could use, but the administrator got greedy, ( and he is a proven scammer himself ) but now the only sites a member can trade on there are owned by the freelunchroom administrator or sites that PAY the administrator a fee.  The administrator and other insiders have several usernames that they use and do the bulk of the trades that take place there.  When Leo ( the scammer that is the administrator ) banned most of the sites that I used, and then suddenly brought on some "NEW" sites that he "approved" of, I made the comment that "...all of the sites look the same..." and that got me banned!!!  I came to find out that Leo ( the scammer ) owns most of the "NEW" sites, has several user names that he trades under, ( as does 'Gladiator' ).  You can get banned for speaking up, or asking tough questions...

I have been a member of FLR since March of 2008. I have had dealings with the moderator in question, and found her to be both an honest trader and a helpful mentor to traders who are willing to be honest themselves, and follow the (not always clear) rules of the trading sites.

The Admins at FLR may have a lot of power in the trading world; they DO run the biggest trading site on the internet. However, they do not dictate the behavior of the owners of the sites, and these owners don't make their decisions on banning based on the "orders" of FLR. I have had times when I set up a trade with another trader, had them tell me that their side of the trade was complete...and it wasn't. The trading site never changed their status to show that they'd completed the portion of the trade that they had contracted to do. Yes, contracted.

The only thing that puzzles me is just why this report is still up. It's nearly two years old, it's been refuted by dozens of people who say just the opposite, and no research by those who run this site has apparently been done.

While it's nice to know that there is a place that people can go to report issues with vendors, websites, companies and individuals, it would be even better to know that reports that are shown to be, at best, filed with incomplete information, would be removed.

1st off,The Free Lunch Room is the best trading forum.I have been trading their for awhile and I love it.Doing offers is the best way to get great products and services at a great price and you get paid to do so.You have to read all the rules.I'm no expert,but what probably happened to you was that you went red on your IFW site 1st.That can happen to anyone,by using wrong info by mistake or doing something wrong.Sometimes it happens for no reason at all.Don't panic because its easy to fix.You just write a support ticket or send them an email and they will respond to tell you why you went red and they will tell you how to fix it.You have to send in your I.D. through an email most of the time.If your Legit,then they'll be Legit.You can't try any funny stuff with them.You have to use all the same info and the same email address every time,and you can only do each offer one time and that's it.If you mess anything up at all,then you will go red.If you go red,then the person you're trading with can't pay you or do your trade.They might think your trying to scam them too. To get banned from the FLR,you have to break one of the rules.Most banns are just for a few days,but if you do something bad like rip someone off, or use bad language toward someone, or if you're using false/different info they will think your a scammer and you will be banned until you can prove otherwise. This is a great place to make extra cash,just make sure you read the rules,don't use false or different info,and don't try to beat the system.Just be Honest and you won't have any problems and you can make money without worrying about getting banned.If anyone has any questions or comments you can email me @ [email protected] or you can reach me at the Free Lunch Room by adding AnthonyM84 to your contacts/friends list.Then you can PM me.Remember,the FLR is totally free and you can learn everything you need to know just by signing up.You won't have any trouble getting the help you need.

I am a member of The Free Lunchroom. I have been since March 2008. It is one of the best places to make some good money. I know wookie who the complaint was on. She would never scam anyone. I have worked with her many times. The Admin. would bend over backwards to help one of the members. At this time I believe there is over 25,000 active members. This can not be a scam with that many happy members. From what I have been lead to believe is that Kalokane was not following the rules. The Freebie site put her on hold because of it. Wookie did not finish the trade because the Freebie Site told them they had been put on hold. Since The Freebie Site caught her not following the rules and reported it to the Free Lunchroom that is why she was banned. And just let me add it takes a lot to be banned from here. So anyone reading her report take it with a grain of salt. Tomorrow the are sending me a Nintendo Wii System for free and I have made a couple thousand dollars there. Also the part of Project Payday charging her. They are the one that charged her, not The Free Lunchroom. If you went and to the Free Lunchroom site right now you will find that you can sign up free. She just came across Project Payday before she found the Free Luchroom.Best money I ever spent. It is a place to meet new people, make new friends, and make money on top of it. What more could you ask for?. To bad on her part. I paid Project Payday and found the the Free Lunchroom through them. Like I said best 20.00 I ever spent. Sincerely, If you have any questions just send me a email THE FREE LUNCHROOM ROCKS!.

I deal on FLR and find this very hard to believe, there must be something amis that was not stated or a mis understanding as to what should have taken place. I find the moderators on FLR to be very helpful, all of them.

I have been working on the Free Lunch Room for about 3 months or so and I have to say for me it is a great opportunity to get extra income. I do understand where this consumer is coming from because you can have a bad experience there as well. But for most of the time this is a great income source for me. The process is simple: You get paid to sign up on a freebie site and complete maybe 1 to 3 offers there. You cost will be lower than your pay and this is how you make profit. This is what they call Trading. After you have done that a few times you are going to be the person paying someone else to sign up on your site. The site then will pay you per referral. Usually people do 50/50 which means the sites pays you $60 and you will pay the person to sign up $30. So you make $30 profit. And on most sites you can do that unlimited times. So if you get 10 people to sign up, the sites will pay you $600 minus the $300 you pay to those 10 people and you will have $300 profit. Not bad for not much time invested. There are hundreds of those sites and after a while this can become a full-time job. Many people there do exactly that. You will see claims of what they make which is mostly gross income but after all costs it can be a lot per month. You do have to understand the process in order to be successful and I'm sorry that this consumer had a bad experience. It can happen. And yes there are scammers on this site but as long as you are careful and stick to experienced Traders you will be fine. You don't have to join over Project Payday. I did and yes I paid but otherwise I might have not found this site. and you get some bonuses from them as well... So if you wanna take a look and would like to guided the right way, contact me and I will help you through everything and explain how it works. We are skeptical in the beginning but I can give proof from my Pay Pal account. Thanks for reading.

You can find one person mad inside a group of over 17,000 people.... This sounds ridiculous .... there are tons of happy people with this group... the free lunchroom... literally hundreds making money.... following rules... smile... all is good.

It always takes money to make money and I have personally traded at this site and a few other sites. FLR is full of sell-professed christians with kids who are looking to make money. Many of these people claim to trade full time to support themself which is a LIE because in freebie trading you need money to make money. Sure, you can do a trade and profit $60 fast and keep stacking, but be honest. This is not your only job. FLR owner also owned Prizebook and before prizebook went down, alot of people did not get paid. If you went to prizebook and even posted that you did not get paid, they instantly banned you. Scammers, frauders, christians who act like...well I can't say. If you're looking to make real money, get a newspaper and look at the employment section. Also hit up craigslist, careerbuilder, and monster. It is easy to be scammed doing freebie trading and not much recourse for you. All you can do is gripe about it and get the person banned. You're still out the money you spent for the trade. I also agree with what the previous poster said. I do believe the admin at FLR has created extra accounts to trade/scam people with. Lowest TR goes first indeed. "The highly regarded admin of this scam board emailed the admin of the freebie site and requested my account be put back on hold." I believe it. Why wouldn't he?

Most of these websites that offer "referral trading" and similar services are most likely scams. I could easily make a website and create a large amount of "fake" users and give them all reputations and customized profiles to make them look real and unique. Anybody can pull this off. Then all they have to do is wait for a real user to come by and trick them into thinking that they are doing a trade with a trustworthy person. Hence the reputation. The person with lower reputation always has to go first. Its a scam. I would not trust most of these websites. Including anything4free.com , referralswapper.com and any other affiliated sites.

My name is Mike Beirens and I have been a member of Free Lunch Room for about a month. I have made about $145 the cost to me to make this amount has been about $45. I am very happy with Free Lunch Room, to me it seems as if it's the only legitimate business I have come across in my search on the Internet. Companies that I have made offers to have been very fair. one company in particular took money from my paypal account. I phone them and they refunded me within 5 days, they were very fair and were polite. So I have no concerns at this point in time with Free Lunch Room. One other point Project Payday was mentioned and it was said that it was a scam. I guess my question is how something be a scam when they don't sell anything and they don't charge you for anything. I believe that these two programs are legit. They are good and solid and as I have said Free Lunch is the only program on the internet were I have made money. I hope that this will dispel any false rumor's. thanks for you opportunity to express my view. Mike

I made 30.00 my first day there. There was one trader that I tried to do business with and he dissapeared into the night. For that trade I was out .... 0. Poster is incorrect and there is apparently somthing they did not understand.

this story about flr is inacurate and totally b.s. . i am a member and did not pay any one to join. ppd or any one else. you at ripoff report should check this stuff before allowing it on your site. I know the trader named here and what was said is totally false. obviously a person that could not follow the rules complained here. How do you let this b.s. flourish?? Check before you allow false complaints. this just fails to make your creditibality as a true site be in question. am a registered member on your site. cannot believe you allow crap like this to be published without checking it out.

If she was pulling that do you really think she would have such an amazing reputation? I have had the pleasure of working with her, she is a wonderful person, a great trader, and a great mod!! I am not sure what you think this is going to accomplish. for those of us that have delt with her, which is countless, This is the only bad thing I have ever heard! We think she is great!!

I've been trading freebies at FLR for a number of months now, and I can say it's not a scam. I don't have any interest in the board other than I use it for trading. It sounds to me like this individual had some problem w/their signup on the freebie site, which then caused their account to go red. Because of this, the other trader didn't do anything, since you generally have to stay green as a part of the deal. Then it sounds like this guy wants to blame FLR and the admins/mods for his failure to comply with the terms and conditions on the freebie site... Generally if you go red, it's not because some site owner "ratted you out" or anything like that :) If you're legit, you can usually get a hold removed, so the only reason to be pissed about it is if you're the one looking to scam people.... I dunno, maybe I'm assuming too much, but people that rant like this guy ranted just seem fishy... and I have experience w/this board and have had nothing but positive experiences on FLR so I felt the need to rebutt (is that spelled right?)

I have been a member of The Free Lunch Room for 3 months now. It certainly is not a scam. I have had an absolutely enjoyable and entertaining time there. If it were such a ripoff there would not be so large a population there (now 50,000). This person is portraying a distorted view. Anyone who comes to Free Lunch Room knows that project pay day just promotes them. They do a fairly good job though we all admit some of their info is off. It takes any business time and money to keep it all going. I only paid $9.00 to project pay day and it was well worth the info I received and a very good outline of the business that goes on in the freebie trading world. As with all things in life there are rules to be followed and it is well known that this person posting this had a bit of a problem that way. It is also well known that this person ripped others off. Shouldn't some one like that be banned?? I would say certainly so!!

I have found free lunch room to be a very good business. The moderators have actually kept me from being ripped off or scammed. The forum is serious about its members following the rules. If you following the rules, you will have no problem at all. Thank you Free Lunch room.

The person was banned because they had been ripping off others. They signed up under a different name, and using an IP check, they were found to be the same person, and were banned so as to prevent anyone else from being scammed by them. They have done this report out of spite.

I have been on FLR for 2 months now and have seen the administration and moderators do nothing but bend over backwards to make FLR the best that it possibly can be. My guess is that being new you probably did something incorrectly and were placed on hold for that. Freebie trading is legit I've made well over $1000 and still have more coming. And if you read the TOS on the IFW site most state that if you are banned from FLR or the other forums that they will ban you also, and many site owners are members of FLR. All of the support at FLR Admin, Gladiator and our Moderators are the best and work their tails off to make us happy and keep us safe from scammers, thanks need to go out to them.

First of all, the person(s) who filed this report to begin with is a KNOWN scammer who is a SNAKE and a THEIF!!! this person is so low down and dirty they are going around the internet and FRAUDING innocent HONEST individuals out of their time and money!!!! If anyone is a fake and a liar its THEM!!! CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report. The above will prove this person is full of CRAP! I have been a long standing member of this forum since Aug of 2007 and have NEVER once been scammed or frauded by this forum, moderators/admins or any of the GOOD, HONEST, people on it (yes people JUST like this poster do come through and do scam and lie people out of their money and then they too are banned!!!) And secondly, FLR (Free lunch room) does not work directly with Project payday and we do NOT charge for membership fees!!!! Project payday simply advertises our forum as we do the same.. there is NO commitment or contract that says a user has to join both! NOR does it say a user HAS to pay any kind of money to be a member!!!!!!

This forum is totally legit. Using logical sense, if the administrators/moderators scammed the people, why the hell are there over 50k users? Why the hell are people WILLING to pay money to advertise on their forum? This is complete bullsh*t. Haha, the person that wrote this Rippoff Report, known as semp420, scammed people on the forum by using techniques that will make the networks put him on hold. He forced the users to pay him asap, so I believe it is obvious the blame should be put on semp420. This Ripoff Report was written with the hands of a scammer/frauder.

www.freelunchroom.com/board is a scam, they are working together with Project Pay Day for only one purpose - to scam people out of their hard earned money, here is how scam works, they are redirecting naive people to sign up for free trial offers and promise to pay after sign up process is completed, customer is getting billed for the free trial service($4.99-$49.99), next step in the scam freebie web sites, freebie web sites which supposed to give credit for completed offers, indeed they do credit some people to make the whole scam appear legit however majority of people who completed offers do not get credit and never get paid, one may find many complains posted on freelunchroom.com/board about people not getting credit, to counter peoples complains freelunchroom.com have team of loyal followers/scammers, these loyal dogs monitor forum 24/7 and will attack anyone who complains about missing credits and not getting paid, normally they tell you its your own fault, your browser is out of date or some program on your computer prevent you to receive credit, anything but the truth that this whole Project Pay Day and Freeluchroom is a SCAM You have been warned, stay away from freelunchroom scam freelunchroom owner also runs prizebook.com another scam web site

First of all, the comments and accusations are TOTALLY false ladies and gentlemen! I been a member with the "Free Lunch Room" since Sept. 2007 and to this date I made and accumulated over "$5,000" in revenue......now is that a scam? I really don't think so! That money helped pay my mortgage, feed my son and put gas in my vehicle, now you see why I had to make a statement about this. They have GREAT support and so much information it'll make your head spin!!!!! Now you have one person saying something negative about the Free Lunch Room and now you have over 30 people saying something positive about it.....who seems more credible....the 1 person or the 30+ people? It seems quite obvious!! People don't take things for "Face Value"....do your own research for yourself.....you can't let somebody (that you don't even know about) dictate the way things are and how things is. People get mad everyday and want to take it out on somebody......it happens ALL THE TIME!!! There's "2" sides to EVERY story....I LOVE the Free Lunch Room. If you take time out to investigate, you might love them as well!! Enjoy your day!!!

This user is mad because he got caught scamming and was banned so now he wants to tarnish the rep of this forum bu posting negatively on this site.Clearly you can see this is untrue by the rebuttals that have been posted..BEAT IT SCAMMER!!

The Free Lunch Room is definitely NOT a scam! I have been a member of this forum since August on 2007 and have never had anything but a good experience there. Although you can enter there through Project Payday, it is not necessary to do so and you do not have to pay a fee to join. I am familiar with the moderator mentioned in the report and everything said about her is untrue. She is hardworking, fair and honest and would never renege on a trade! The person who made this report was a trader on this board who was scamming people and was therefore banned for doing so. He is making these false accusations out of spite, and he knows full well that this moderator and the administrator are not the same person. I have never had a problem communicating with any of the moderators or admin there, they are always good at answering questions you may have and helping you resolve any issues, and to state that admin was responsible for getting him banned from a freebie site is absolutly ridiculous! The freebie sites are independent entities who do not take orders from the trading forums and the only way to get banned from one is to violate one of the terms of use for their site. If it is possible, I think the person who made this report (Kalokane) should be banned from Ripoff Report! Thank you for allowing me to voice my opinion.

This is not a justified report. This guy was caught scamming other people out of their money and banned from the Forum for it. He then created another username and signed up yet again. That alone says something there."Wookie", is a Moderator who is very careful in her judgment and would not scam anyone. She is a Moderator because she has been there for a long time and is a very trusted trader. There are rules and regulations that follow with any business you get into. This one is no exception. There is a ZERO-TOLERANCE for scamming and spamming inside the Forum. This Person did just that and was banned. He was taking money form other honest traders and was banned and as a result here we are in this report. I am proud to be a part of this Forum, and currently, I am making great money. As are others, or they would not be there. I assure whoever reads this, that FLR (FREE Lunch Room) is a place where honesty and integrity thrives. Jynifer FLR Proud Verified Member van, Texas

I have been working on Freelunchroom.com since Mid-october and I have never crossed such an obvious scammer as this poster. In my experiences on Freelunchroom.com, I have grown to appreciate the hard-working individuals who go to great lengths to protect the reputation of the traders and referrals. I am greatly sorrowed that this person choose to weasel and scam thier way to this level of low. To all who read this...Freelunchroom.com will continue to thrive...and those with honesty and integrity will make it the most productive and FREE place to trade and make friends.

I have been with this organization for over 10 months. And this so called 'ripoff report' is the most ridiculous thing I have seen. The freebie sites are 100% legitimate and the organizers of the sites, administrators & moderators of Free Lunch Room - you will not find finer individuals. The sponsors for the sites use this as a major part of their advertising efforts and reward their participants and referrals in an excellent manner. The only way your account is banned or put on hold is if you have blatantly violated the TOS of the participating sites, or the rules and regulations set forth by Project Payday and Free Lunch Room. Free Lunch Room exhausts every effort to ensure their traders are protected from such as this, as well as exhausting all efforts to resolve the issues insuring that the individual that has been banned has every opportunity to correct the situation. As far as an account being placed on hold by a freebie site, this happens when an individual has given false information, violated the sites TOS, or has committed internet fraud themselves. I have worked with all of the administrators, moderators as well as site owners and have found all to be top of the line and always fair and willing to help everyone in this business. In fact just this month this organization has passed over 50,000 active members, I hardly think you could run fraud this many people who work this every day. This Ripoff Report is nothing more than rubbish submitted out of childish anger of this individual getting caught in their wrong doing! Toni Gray, GA

I can' believe that you would do this because you were the one ripping everyone else on the FLR off!!!! The FLR is a wonderful place to trade, make money and friends. You need some need a serious reality check. Wookie hasn't done a thing to you.. You had to be stopped because you were taking advantage of others and then you put the blame on someone else...Well yes, I can believe that with your track record.. Like I said, the FLR is a very good place with many good people and we are just lucky that that you are no longer there corrupting the forum...It is for honest people, sorry cheaters have to leave. I guess that after cheating so many that you had to leave made. Those that get caught usually do!!!!

THIS MUST BE A JOKE? YOU FAILED TO MENTION THAT YOU HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE ON FREE LUNCH ROOM THAT GOT RIPPED OFF BY YOU NOT PAYING THEM......LET IT BE KNOWN THAT YOU ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE YOU GOT BANNED FOR SCAMMING PEOPLE, AND YOU SHOW YOUR INTELLIGENCE BY CREATING ANOTHER USER NAME AND GOT BUSTED AGAIN....FREE LUNCH ROOM IS NOT......NOT A SCAM BUT RATHER A PLACE TO MEET PEOPLE AS WELL AS EARN A FEW $$ ON THE SIDE. YOU ARE AN IDIOT!

It is coming out that the person who wrote this report is a scammer who ripped off several honest people who were attempting to do business with him. I joined the Free Lunch Room (FLR) through Project Payday. I paid nothing for Project Payday nor is there any fee for belonging to the FLR. I have been doing business through the FLR for almost two months now. Before this, I had tried quite a few online work-from-home endeavors. Except for eBay, this is the ONLY online place where I have made money. You need very little money to get started. People deal with each other person to person. The moderators and administrators help us out a lot and keep things in line. With 50,000 members, we do need a few rules. The freebie site owners are, for the most part, wonderful. They help us out as they need us as much as we need them. This is truly a win-win-win place. I am very grateful to have found the FLR and for the money that I have been able to earn since I joined. I would suggest that you check us out for yourself: http://www.freelunchroom.com/index2.php Be sure to go to the forum and read some of the posts. Darlene

I have been a member of the Free Lunch Room since December. I found the Free Lunch Room through my membership at Project Payday. While Project Payday does let you do a The only connection between Project Payday and FLR is that Project Payday endorses them. All that means is that they approve. Project Payday also has links to the other forums in the industry on their site. The Free Lunch Room does NOT require any money to join and it never has. You do NOT have to go through Project Payday to become a member of FLR. I have made plenty of extra cash through the trading policies established by this forum and if this person was banned it was only because they scammed other members of the forum. Here is a link to the thread about how the person who filed this report is a scammer. -->http://www.freelunchroom.com/board/showthread.php?t=183965 When you do this kind of thing to the community of people on FLR we all watch each others backs and do what is necessary to prevent it from happening to other people. This person scammed many, many people and that is why they got banned and put on hold at the free sites. And from what you can see in the thread above. This person never even traded with wookie. And wookie is a very respected member of the FLR community and has protected us from many scammers such as the one that filed this complaint. The Free Lunch Room is a completely safe place to communicate with other members, business or not, and trade for referrals on free sites. That safety comes from the tireless efforts of the administrators and moderators of the forum.

As the title says "Free" Lunch Room. There is no fee to join. Project Payday is an entirely separate entity, which has links to several forums besides Free Lunch Room. So if anything your complaint should be against Project Payday for ripping you off. I have been a member of the Free Lunch Room since October of 2007. It has been a great experience for me and allowed me to add some extra money to my family's income. I have met some wonderful friends on the forum and enjoy the social interaction between everyone. The Administration and moderators go above and beyond to make the forum a safe and enjoyable place to visit. I personally have had to clean up just one of the many trades that Kalokane lied about. One of the traders he agreed to do a Green 4 Green trade with was left high and dry. She had greened on his site and he never even tried to complete offers on her site. Luckily the site she had greened on allowed her to move her Green to another trader. That trader happened to be me. I did the right thing and payed her for her green plus a little extra for all the trouble she had with Kalokane. I did this so that a new trader would not walk away from the freebie trading industry with a bad taste in her mouth. If Free Lunch Room was such a scam then why would someone step up and make it good for someone who was out right lied too? When she contacted me I could have just said," Oh well, your lose." If anyone doubts what I write here, there is a thread in a section of Free Lunch Room called "Lunch Theft," in there is an 8 page thread that details some of the scamming that Kalokane did. His Free Lunch Room name was, Semp240. Take a look: http://www.freelunchroom.com/board/showthread.php?t=183965 after reading the thread you tell me who is scamming who.

I have been a member of FreeLunchRoom for 1 year. It is a legit forum,Admin.,Glad., and all the Mods. including wookie work extremely hard to keep the members safe against Spammers and Scammers! I encourage anyone reading this to not take 1 persons opinion of this site. It is a wonderful site that many of us enjoy!!

The free lunch room is Free... how can anything that doesnt cost money be a rip off? It is known that the poster of this rip off report stole from multiple people on the forum, so Im shocked they would want to bring the spotlight on themself like this. The free lunch room is a wonderful money making opportunity, and this report is not correct. that is all! iluvmy5babies

I joined the Free Lunch Room in November 2007, and I have not had any issues as this person is stating. What it seems to me is they broke the rules, and they were banned from the site. This is just someone trying anything to get revenge. I personally will not let something, someone, like this, stop me from recommending this forum to others. This business is legit, and if rules are followed, profitable and fun. The people in the forum are supportive..the best on the net!

The free lunch room forum is a forum and is free to join. In no way do they rip people or consumers off. The person who filed this report no doubt is a scammer himself and didn't succeed at his mission so he felt intitled to file this report. The community has over 50,000 members and certainly there are going to be some bad apples on the tree and this clearly is a great example of that. You will find that there are more wonderful people then this one bad apple in the forum. Perhaps you should have followed the rules to the forum and then there would have been no need for this post.

I have been a member of Freelunchroom since December of 2007. In that time I have worked hard, read everything I can on how to do this job effectively and non fraudulently. Freelunch room is no scam if anything the administration and moderators are overly concerned that any fraudulent activity take place. Being a member of this forum is FREE and one is NOT required to sign up with Project Payday to become one. That was the originator of the complaints choice to get there through Project Payday. In my opinion the report filed by this person is nothiing more than a person who did not fully understand what they were doing and in fact must have been fraudulent themself if they went "red" or 'on hold' on the site they completed to earn greens. If they did not resolve that problem with the site they did offers on then they did not complete their end of the deal for the moderator that they started to trade with so that person has no obligation to pay them. Freelunchroom supplies extensive tutorials on how to do trading so that it works effectively, legitimately and is not fraudulent to anyone. It is sad that this individual had a bad experience, but is not the fault of freelunch room or anyone who is a member, administrator, moderator or any other peron other than the person who filed the report this is rebutting.

I have been a member of Free Lunch Room since November 2007. This site is not a scam or a fraud! I have personally made money with this site and continue to do so. The Administrators and the Mods on Free Lunch Room have done nothing but help the members and to do everything they can to stop people from scamming! Wookie, the mod metioned above has been wonderful and really helpful to me. Free Lunch Room has over 50,000 members and is a great place to make some extra cash, if you are honest and you work at it. Yes, the site does ban people, when it is found they have broken the rules and scam people. The Admins and the Mods of this site are real people who dedicate part of their lives to make it easier on the members, they are in no way a fraud or a scam.

I have been searching for legitimate ways to make money from home for the better part of a year. I have found, researched and invested in more things than I care to admit, and have cancelled all of them after admitting to myself that they were scams. The one and only thing that I have found that is not a scam and works as I expected it to, is being a member of Free Lunch Room. The forum is run very professionally, and the moderators are not there to scam people, they keep order. I have seen Wookie around since I joined and have never had anything but good encounters, and have never heard anything negative until this. Not only would it be completely foolish for a moderator to try to scam someone out of money, it wouldn't make any sense financially. If the person who filed this report had any proof of what had transpired, Wookie could have gotten banned and lost all of the income that she has the potential to make. It makes absolutely no sense! In addition to that, to imply that the administrators of FLR would compromise the integrity of the site and buddy up with a mod in order to ban someone wrongfully is ludicrous. The person that wrote the report had to have done something wrong to be banned from FLR and also put on hold at the freebie site. This is simply a false accusation by someone who chose not to follow simple rules, got caught and now wants to ruin it for all of us honest traders. Don't believe a word of it!

I am and have been a member of Free Lunch Room since July of last year and have never experienced any fraudlent behavior on the part of the administrators or the moderators of this board. If anything, the administrators and moderators work tirelessly to ensure that this board is a safe place to trade and provides us with a solid base from which to make money. There must be more to this story than the author or this report wants to reveal. There is no way that this individual was banned for simply complaining to the administration about a trade involving one of the moderators. As to its connection to Project Payday, which is a paid guide, the Free Lunch Room board is and will always remain free. One does not need to come from Project Payday to access the board. Project Payday is a completely separate entity from Free Lunch Room. Project Payday has a link to Free Lunch Room in it's materials, yes, but it also has links to the other trading boards like freeipodguide and anythingforfree. Silvervixen Proud Member of FLR

Fraud has no place in the Free Lunch Room and in fact, the moderaters and administrators fight feverishly to prevent or stop it. There are several reasons one might be banned from the site but usually they are temporary until a remedy is applied. The only reason one would be banned for good is fraud! Kalokane, you may have thought you completed the site but many times new traders miss a crucial step or just plain haven't waited long enough for the credit to show up. I'm sure if you have a valid reason and no intention of a ripoff you can be reinstated. Which means you will get credit for what you completed. I have tried many ways to make some money on the internet and this is the only one that has actually delivered what they promised! Plus the person you were dealing with there is a very nice, honest, above board, helpful person. She has inside knowledge and lots of friends there, yes, but nobody gets banned just because someone says so... an action must take place for banning to occur. Is it possible that you may have jumped the gun here? FLR truely is the exception to the rule when it comes to a bunch of folks on the net- you get to know and actually like them! It's a win-win situation and I am sorry you did not have a good experience. Most who do trades there are very happy. I am.

I have been a memeber of this forum since November. I have paid no fee to be a member and will personally vouch for the person mentioned in the report(wookie) This person is a very crucial member of this forum and the accusations made about her are totally untrue and basically uncalled for. I think your reporter is a disgruntled person that was probably in the wrong themselves. They need to find something constructive to do.

I entered Free Lunchroom through Project Payday. I did not have to pay anything to get started. I also have never had to pay any kind of fee at Free Lunchroom (FLR). I love FLR. It is a community of people that are very friendly and helpful. I have been a member since June 2007 and have never encountered or even heard of anything like what was mentioned in the above report. I think it was submitted by someone that had some sort of grudge against FLR. Maybe this person got banned for some other reason or didn't follow the rules of the forum or trading. When I started out with FLR, I had NO MONEY in my paypal account (the account used to receive money from traders and/or freebie sites.) I built that account up strictly from money I received from going green for other traders on freebie sites. Then after I had it built up, I then started paying people to go green for me. It is a great way to make some extra cash and make allot of friends. In fact, most people get addicted to FLR for the comradery and extra cash. If FLR was a rip off, why would it have over 50,000 members? I haven't made as much as some, but i have been able to help with the bills by doing this. Does that sound like a rip off?

The Free Lunch Room is a very productive and fun place to earn a few extra bucks. I have been there since June of 07 and have NEVER run into any problems with the Admin or the Moderators. They are there to help EVERYONE succeed and go beyond the call of duty to ensure that FLR is a safe place. This includes trying to catch all those that are there to scam innocent people trying to make a few dollars. Obviously this sounds like an attack on FLR from someone who feels they have been done an injustice. I personally feel it is from someone who thought they had found a way to scam the system and then was caught doing so. Therefore, they were banned as stated in the policies for FLR. I have been successful on FLR as well as many others. FLR is like a second home where you not only make money, but also make a lot of new friends! It is a shame that someone feels they need to degrade it. But it really doesn't matter, as those of us that are members, stand by FLR to the fullest. I mean really, would it have over 50,000 members and running for a year if it wasn't legit? Come on! Just my two cents worth. Sheila

I have been a member of the FreeLunchRoom for many months now, am a very happy and active member and have had no problems with any of the staff or members there at all whatsoever. I recommend the FreeLunchRoom very highly to anyone interested in this type of business. It is one of the MOST reputable and well-organized sites around. This complaint sounds typical of someone who didn't hold up their end of a trade and now they are trying to start trouble. I have worked with traders similar to the one making this complaint and feel lack of communication on the part of this trader (not wookie) is likely the problem. There are various reasons why this person may have had trouble, which I will not go into detail about here. I suggest you see for yourself, visit the FreeLunchRoom and see just how many members are very happy with this site and are making money on a daily basis.

I'm sorry you found this to be a scam, in your opinion! I know the person to whom you have referred, and she is by no means a scammer! Granted I don't agree with much of what Project Payday has in their advertising campaign, however most of it is true, you can make decent money doing this! If you had issues you could have posted to the boards instead of making a ludacris statement about something you obviously don't know much about! Personally I have been quite successful doing this. I would have been more than happy to help guide you in any way needed! You have missed out on a very lucrative opportunity!!

I have belonged to FLR since November. It is a fantastic place where the mods and ADMIN take care and watch out for you--not rip you off. This person who put in this report must of not followed the rules of the freebie site in order to get banned. ADMIN cant make a site ban you or put you on hold. We just hit our 50,000 registered member!! You dont have THAT many members if you are a bad site! I encourage people to see the site and see the freebie world! It is legit and I am going to say on record...I am proud to be on the FLR and this report is simply--wrong!

I have been a member of the forum since August and have never had a problem trading on it or a problem with Admins or any Moderators, Esp Wookie. I'm sure this report was sent in by someone who was banned from the forum for spamming or scamming, as this forum mentioned has tight rules in place for both. They tolerate NEITHER. Thanks Mary
