Refund Approved but Not Paid + Multi-Year Pattern of Undelivered Services
I have been involved with FourPercent / Estage for almost three years. During that time I purchased multiple co-op campaigns and services that were never delivered. After repeated pivots (ABS → ABS2.0 → Project 1000 → Mission 1000), no product or funnels remain to promote and no monetization has been possible. On January 16, 2026 my Traffic Co-Op refund of $4,525 was officially approved by Estage support. All required payout details were submitted the same day. As of Jan 23, it has still not been paid. Support responses have been variations of “accounting is on it” and “ASAP,” with no timeline and no execution. This mirrors what I myself experienced in 2023 when affiliate commissions were also delayed for months. After posting in the community I found multiple members reporting the same issues: co-ops not delivered for years, refunds approved but not paid, and repeated delays attributed to “launching next week.” Some members even reported financial hardship as a result of the delays. I am documenting this publicly now so others have accurate expectations. I will update this review once the refund is completed. UPDATE (Jan 26, 2026): ESTAGE officially approved a refund for the Traffic Co-Op ($4,525 USD) on Jan 15, 2026 and confirmed that accounting would process the payout. All required information (PayPal email, identity, history) was provided the same day. As of today (11 days later), the refund has not been sent, no processing confirmation has been provided, and communication remains non-specific ("accounting is on it" / "ASAP"). Will continue to update this review with factual timeline. Proof: Invoices + payment confirmations + support ticket correspondence available on request. Refund approved Jan 15, still unpaid as of Jan 29. Update Jan 30: Refund approved Jan 15 was paid after escalation.
