Vick Strizheus - Four PercentReviews of internettrafficacademy.com

I originally joined FourPercent and later Estage because I believed Vick Strizheus was a great mentor and trusted his visions. Over the last years multiple offers (ABS → ABS2.0 → Project 1000 → Mission 1000) were launched, paused, or replaced. Over time, I've purchased several Traffic Co-Op packages, partner licenses and products totaling $8,097.00 USD. I've requested a refund because the traffic hasn't been delivered until today, the licenses are active but there's nothing really to promote and the products remain incomplete. Support officially approved and confirmed the refund, and I immediately submitted payout information. As of now six months later(!), it has still not been paid. Responses have been variations of “accounting is on it” and “ASAP,” with no execution. This mirrors ongoing payment delays within the ecosystem. I found out, that multiple users reported identical issues: undelivered co-ops, refunds approved months ago but not paid, and recurring delays. I'm documenting here so others have accurate expectations. I will update this review regularly until my confirmed refund have been paid out to me. Proof: Invoices + transaction statements + ticket history available. UPDATE (October 8, 2026): Following public escalation, ESTAGE/FourPercent has processed my refund for the undelivered Traffic Co-Ops into my PayPal account. However, a remaining balance of $3,497.00 USD for the partner licenses and incomplete products remains unpaid. I have contacted support regarding the remaining balance and am waiting for a clear resolution. I will continue to update this review as the situation progresses.

I have followed Vick Strizheus for many years, starting with High Traffic Academy, then Big Idea Mastermind, Four Percent, and now ESTAGE. I was honestly surprised to see some of the negative reviews here because they do not reflect my personal experience. Vick’s training helped me understand online marketing in a practical and actionable way, especially when it came to traffic generation. Some of the easiest money I have earned online came from applying the traffic strategies and marketing principles I learned through his programs. His teachings helped me understand how to attract the right audience, promote offers, and turn traffic into real results. The training was clear, useful, and gave me strategies I could actually implement. Of course, I can only speak from my own experience, and I understand that not every customer will have the same journey. But after being part of several of Vick’s programs over many years, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. His teachings have had a real impact on my online business journey, and I am grateful for what I learned.

I have been requesting my refund on my Co-Op and CPA for many years, but no resolution. Customer Support has been promising many, many times. I still don't get my refunds. It came to the point that Fourpercent is no longer responding to my requests. I will file the lawsuit if I don't get my refund.

I rarely give any reviews on products I use and certainly not 1-star, so the fact I am submitting this is significant. I joined Four Percent on 19 Mar 2024. I thought my fee of US$1,500 was a one-off but I was charged again on 19 Mar 2025. To be fair, on checking my original receipt, it did state the charge was an annual subscription, but I was not expecting an annual charge and didn't wish to continue on the program so I emailed Four Percent both to request a refund and to cancel my subscription. I received a prompt reply confirming the recurring charge had been cancelled and providing a link to apply for my refund which they said I would receive within 5-7 business days. I completed the form but have never received my refund. I have since emailed Four Percent another 4 times but received no response. This morning (19 Mar 2026) I discovered they have charged me again for the subscription despite confirming last year they had cancelled it. I have spoken to my bank to cancel the charge and have emailed Four Percent again to confirm I have cancelled my subscription; to instruct them not to make any further charges to my card; and to again request the refund they agreed to last year. I will also be filing a formal complaint against them with the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission. Finally, I caution you regarding the large number of 5- and 4-star reviews on the Four Percent page of Trust Pilot: during the induction webinars and initial modules for the course, customers are urged to come to TrustPilot and leave a 5-star review immediately, before they have any real experience in dealing with the company and the course. If you read the comments carefully, the vast majority of them are clearly from people who have just completed the webinar and are about to start going through the course and system - they're not from people who have made any money from it! My recommendation is therefore that you stay clear of this company or anything to do with Vick Strizhuis - do your due diligence and don't get caught up in the hype.

⁹My original entry into FourPercent / Internet Traffic Academy eventually moved into the Estage platform. Over roughly three years the primary offer has pivoted several times (ABS → ABS2.0 → Project 1000 → Mission 1000) and no finalized product or funnel has been available for affiliates to promote. During that time I purchased multiple Traffic Co-Op packages totaling $4,525 which were never delivered. On January 16, 2026 the refund was officially approved by Estage support and payout information was submitted immediately. As of January 23 it has not been paid. Replies have been the same “ASAP / accounting is on it” pattern with no timeline or execution. Members in the official community have openly reported similar issues going back years — including co-ops not delivered, refunds approved but not paid, and repeated delays regarding launches and monetization. Posting here for transparency so expectations are clear. I will update the review when the refund is completed. UPDATE (Jan 26, 2026): The Traffic Co-Op products originally sold under this ecosystem were approved for refund by ESTAGE on Jan 15, 2026 ($4,525 USD). Despite providing all details, the refund has not been processed as of today (11 days later). No processing confirmation or timeframe has been given. Further updates will be added to document resolution. Proof: Invoices + banking statements + support correspondence available. Refund approved Jan 15, still unpaid as of Jan 29. Update Jan 30: Refund approved Jan 15 was paid after escalation.

Title: Locked Out of My Account, No Refunds, and Forced to Seek Legal Remedies My experience with Vick Strizheus, FourPercent, and Estage has been overwhelmingly negative and deeply concerning. After purchasing multiple products, including resell licenses and high-ticket upsells, I requested a refund when it became clear that the promises being marketed did not match my experience or what was actually delivered. My refund request was refused. Shortly after that, FourPercent locked me out of my account, cutting off access to products I had already paid for. As of today, I am still owed money for purchases that were never refunded. I consider being locked out of a paid account after refusing a refund to be completely unacceptable and highly unprofessional. Because my attempts to resolve this directly went nowhere, I filed a formal complaint with the District Attorney’s office in South Dakota regarding what I believe are questionable business practices based on my personal experience. The DA’s office advised me to pursue small claims court in order to recover my losses. I am also considering filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) if this matter is not resolved. This is not something I wanted to do, but I felt I had no other option after being ignored, denied refunds, and locked out of my account. In my opinion, there is a serious lack of transparency, accountability, and ethical customer treatment within these programs. This review reflects my personal experience only, but I strongly urge anyone considering FourPercent, eStage, or any program associated with Vick Strizheus to proceed with extreme caution, document everything, and fully understand the refund policies before spending any money. I regret my involvement and would not recommend these programs based on my experience. — John B.

I paid £395 for a service, but shortly afterwards my father passed away, and I became involved in ongoing court proceedings initiated by my ex-partner. Due to these circumstances, I was unable to take up the service. When I later contacted their support emails address to request a refund, I received no response. This lack of communication is extremely disappointing — if this were a legitimate and trustworthy company, they would be responsive and accessible to their customers. It feels like a complete con.

I have been with FourPercent/Estage since the middle of 2024, and I am very pleased with the program and products. I am not Tech savvy, but I finished build my website, with the helps of Estage support. Since 2024, I have seen a big growth in this business that Vick Strizheus has built, and many positive changes for the Estage Community. My confidence has gown through the time I joined, and Vick Has made sure that we have a Highly sophisticated and safe business! Thank You Vick!
