Avoid Vocal Media Like the Plague!
This is the final article in my series of Vocal Media rants. I won’t waste my time and energy posting any more content about this wicked and heartless group of individuals.

Here’s the issue, they have refused to pay me for my hard work.
Currently, I have $400 pending and the lame excuse they gave me was that they cannot verify my traffic sources. They did this for my first payment, they couldn’t provide any proof, they eventually paid me.
This is my 3rd payment from Vocal and they refuse to provide any kind of proof that I apparently “gamed” their system.
