What they do is:
Overwrite affiliate codes - they will hijack on the join form.
You find something suspicious and shut down the account? They send this traffic, which is destined for you (or your galleries) to a 'fake trading site' and then either resell this traffic to search engines OR to traffic companies. Fucking you over twice when you're buying the traffic at a higher cost.
Do you know of any examples that I could download and try myself?
