Youtube Partner Network might be scam

Hello,Im partnered with NextGenEntertainment. (NGE) It was made this year and has only been running a few months. The network owner recently has been acting sketchy and not wanting to talk to me as much as before. I asked him about payments for older partners and he just gave me the same info as before. He said people should get payed first week of every month. A partner that I know still has not been paid and it's now the third week of this month.
I am supposed to be paid over 1,000 dollars next month, and the month after that some more, and am worried about this. I'm a new partner so that's supposed to be my first payment.
I cannot find out till then, but also another big thing to this story. My channel got false flagged and was worth tens of thousands of dollars. I don't actually know if the network manager has even done ANYTHING about it. He just said he's waiting for a response from the google rep. That's it.
Same thing for the past 2 weeks he's been telling me.
The first thing that I noticed was when I get partnered, I got an invite through my youtube dashboard in a way that I've never seen before. I've been partnered through Machinima, TGN, Fullscreen, and a few other networks and this was the first time I had to go straight to my dashboard and the invite was just kind of hanging in the corner. For every other network, when I logged into my channel I got immediately notified. I even got an email saying so. Here? Nothing. No email.
I didn't think much of it because I was running more than 10 channels at the time partnered with different networks, but now I have 3 channels partnered with this network. I was attacked by someone false flagging and trying to ruin everything of mine, and a second smaller channel that was partnered with this network got taken down.
Also, if this network is a scam, my two channels won't get put back up and my third one will be locked in for 3 more years with this network. Along with hundreds of other partners. What do you suggest I do?
I've heard stories of other small networks scamming their partners too.
Im angry.. because I don't know what to do. If I should sue this network or what? If maybe I partnered my channel TheBestVineVideos (which is gone now.. for good) with Machinima like my other Vine channel it'd still be up and running, (the other one is.. but.. lucky me.. I sold it to a friend because he was begging for it... -.- stupid me.) and yeah. Idk. If I was to sue.. it'd be for a good amount, because I was exponentially growing, and was supposed to make 50,000 dollars minimum.. I cant sue for that much, not even close, but at least for a few thousand. :(
Im broke and know zero personal at google.
 
Yea, there are a ton of "new" small networks that are totally unreputable. I always tell people to go with the bigger networks since there is really no reason to go with a small one at all.
 
Hey please email me at : kamransankey@forela.com

I will look in to your issue and we will resolve this.

( NGE is not a Forela Proprietary network, however we do take part in their MCN )

Thank you.
Um.. sure. Whats.. forela? :p and Im sorry, Im new to this place. I thank you for your help.. but do you have a skype? :) I prefer skype over email if possible. And last thing.. who are you exactly? Like.. a google rep? Someone who knows google rep? If so youre just the person I needed. :)
*edit* nvm. Ill just email you. I learned a little about Forela. Cool. thanks.

The receiving copyright strikes are not the network's fault, if you did get a strike then partnership automatically gets stripped from you (same happened on my vines channel, was getting 50k views/day :( )
 
No, Kamran is the head of Forelas Digital which is a bigger network. If what he says is true, then he might be able to find out why you are not getting paid especially if they are helping with the MCN.

((I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure he can help you)

Sorry for late reply, but noo.. you sir are just unlucky. :P sorry mate. Ive gotten over 10 copyright strikes on different channels with Machinima (of course I appealed them all and won.. but..) I never got unpartnered for strikes. Plus, I got screw for community strikes. Which are different. I had 7 when my channel got deleted[DOUBLEPOST=1377026584,1377026541][/DOUBLEPOST]
Maybe next time you can create a channel with your own content.
I do have my own channel. :P I made over 30 channels on youtube. lol. Its kinda what I do everyday after school[DOUBLEPOST=1377026761][/DOUBLEPOST]

It's the small crappy networks that make things so much harder for the smaller networks that give a s**t to gain momentum. Competition with networks is a good thing and YouTubers having more choices in networks will only improve the contracts offered.
 
This my friends, is officially a network scam. What kind of network doesn't pay you over $1,000 dollars and won't pay you for channels that are STILL partnered and locked in for years because of one forum post? Would Machinima do that? I doubt it. This person probably is using this reason not to pay me, as he had no intention to pay me at all in the first place.
