I have not been under any "impression", all my postings have been made based on fact.

According to this thread at imutual's forum, Richard Yendall is pulling your strings http://www.imutual.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6308&sid=d6f297dc89ffa71426f8ba43d8b8ccb2

Yes, bit of an own goal by Mr Yendall IMHO, First Cashback Site Director/Founder/Owner that I am aware of who has been seen to publicly admit/encourage its member(s) to "spread the word" about a Cashback Site on MSE and we are not silly people we know that there is more than one way a Cashback Site can reward someone for signups gained via MSE postings without a referral link needing to be posted.


http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=36789142&postcount=5 ( It was true BBC trial offer for Radio Times was excluded from Cashback, whilst it did track as provisional the Cashback was not paid by the merchant hence reason no other Cashback Site were offering it, I-Mutual did however pay out to those who submitted a claim, I-Mutual subsequently announced a first year trading loss.

How can a Cashback Site which made an operating loss be considered to be "probably the best Cashback Site" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


Then just over two weeks later a new thread was started to replace the previously deleted thread about the same thing - "Free Shares in a cashback website" after Mr Yendall upped the rate from 10 free shares worth at best next to nothing to 100 free shares worth at best next to nothing :rotfl::rotfl: .for no personal benefit of course by I-Mutuals now biggest member Shareholder. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

As you say Quentin, Mr Yendall was banned from posting about I-Mutual on MSE as he didnt seem to be conversant with apparent fact that Companies needing MSE permission to post applied to him.

According to this thread at imutual's forum, Richard Yendall is pulling your strings (or are you really a pen name for Mr Yendall, who seems to be banned from posting here):

???? That thread on imutual was started AFTER I posted on MSE ????? In fact - if you read it - it was Richard Yendall posting about a response to my original post. I am quite capable of posting my own thoughts and nobody pulls my strings. I ask again why are you so aggressive/suspicious?

In good faith, I posted my personal opinion. Isn't that what people do on forums? I say again - I have frequented most cashback sites over the years and, taking everything into account, I think that imutual is probably the best. If you don't agree with me that is absolutely fine but why do you have to accuse me of being Richard Yendall? For the avoidance of any doubt I can confirm that I am absolutely not him - I am more than happy for any site moderators to contact me and we can discuss how I can prove this.

I do have an open mind and am happy to listen to and act upon the suggestions, of others. I would advise others to do the same in all situations. You do not seem to have an open mind in respect of imutual and I don't know (or indeed care) why that is, but you could acknowledge that for whatever reason you have it in for that particular site.

To be fair, it does seem odd that someone is allowed to post unsubstantiated and possibly damaging allegations against someone and the "victim" is not allowed a right to reply.

To me the whole purpose of MSE is that individuals post ideas/suggestions to save/make money. I did that and you don't agree - that's fine but don't go accusing me of things just because you don't agree with me. The MSE forums do have a bit of reputation for attacking posters and you are doing nothing but perpetuate that. However, be sure of one thing - I know my own mind and will not be intimidated by anyone.

Anyway Happy Christmas all

It might have something to do with the fact that the man behind Imutual, Richard Yendall, was also the director of both Cashback Kings and R Points. They went into liquidation last December leaving thousands of people out of pocket.

Mr Y is fully aware that MSE does allow such right of reply and how to obtain it.

Thank you - that is slightly reassuring. However, I still think it would be much better to give him (and anyone else under similar circumstances) an absolute right to reply in their own posts. It seems that the right of reply is via a moderator who could choose not to post.

I am pleased that you are not accusing me of being Richard Yendall.

Happy Christmas

The date the thread was posted is irrelevant.

You posted (post no 3) this in that thread (where Mr Yendal asks for his customers/shareholders to post pro imutual spam on MSE):

Sorry I am a bit pushed for time today but I have responded on MSE now

Yet you want us to believe your continued posts here wrongly telling us that your site is "probably the best", as they give free shares you say are currently worth 1p per 100,000, are nothing to do with that thread!

Come off it!

Come off what????

I posted MY PERSONAL OPINION in good faith.

The date and timing of the posts is critical because it proves that you are quite wrong.

You continually accuse me of a variety of things. When I show you that these aren't true, you ignore that and then move on to something else and so the cycle continues.

I posted on the thread you link when another member of both imutual and MSE alerted me to the fact that someone had responded to my post on MSE AND that Richard Yendall had posted on imutual about my MSE post.

I am not Richard Yendall and so imutual is not my site. Nor am I the highest share holding member (far, far from it in fact).

My original, original post coincided with the imutual agm and was not in response to any other post. It is a shame that the post was deleted because if you had read it you might not have jumped to so many incorrect conclusions.

I don't believe that my postings constitute spam - they are a personal recommendation. With your usage of the word, a massive number of posts on MSE would be regarded as spam.

If you don't like imutual then fine. If you think that imutual shares will always be worth not a lot then fine. If you are happy using other cashback sites then fine. I do not have a problem with you having your own opinion. However, for reasons explained earlier in this thread, I believe that imutual is probably the best cashback site. That is my opinion - it might not be yours but it remains mine.

What is your favourite cashback site? I would be happy to take your (and anyone else's) suggestions and see how it works for me (it may be, of course, that I am already a member there). Why do you refuse to pay me the same courtesy?

I have never sought to gain anything from my posts about imutual so I ask again why so much suspicion? It was a genuine recommendation so please take it as such.

As previously stated, I always encourage people to do their own research and make their own mind up. Imutual works for me (alongside several other cashback sites) and all I have ever done is to encourage others to find out more about it. Why you think that is so wrong I cannot fathom.


Happy Christmas

All I posted was the point that whereas you say you just post here your personal recommendation, you did in fact post on Mr Yendal's thread requesting his customers at imutual to come here and post nice things about your company that you had (belatedly) complied with his request! (Presumably your shareholding increased after that post)

(And it is your company as it claims to be owned by its members!)

Though can't be worth too much as you insist the shares are not worthless, yet have now told us each 100,000 are actually worth 1p!

The point that you seem to have missed is that my original post was BEFORE that thread on imutal. I have NEVER posted in response to being asked to do so - it was pointed out to me by a third party (NOT Richard Yendall) about that thread on imutual (and also about the thread on MSE) and I decided to reply with my OWN thoughts, entirely off my own back because I felt that my post had been misrepresented.
