MegaPornBucks is Stealing Everybodies Traffic - GoFuckYourself.com

dieselaction · 06-16-2004, 07:06 PM

All,

I think it is important to make you aware of certain adult programs that are working in conjunction with the I-Lookup.com Adware that is likely hijacking consumers from your websites as they attempt to sign-up through certain processors.

This hijacking can all be traced back to a limited number of websites managed by Megapornbucks and processed by Paycom. As you all may be aware, Microsoft and the FBI are currently working together to track this illegal activity back to its origin and those benefitting from it.

This attack happens all on the consumer side and they are almost undoubtedly unaware of what is occuring. One tactic Megapornbucks is using to get this on consumers computers is to have a link on their sites, one such example being facialplayground.com, that says click here for a free video. Once clicked, the I-Lookup toolbar takes over the consumer's IE and begins to control where they get to go and what they get to see. Furthermore, when this happens no one involved with gathering the traffic and sending it to the original site gets any revenue because the hijacking takes it to a site completely unrelated to the original site or sign-up page.

In other words, consumers with this adware installed go through a site tour and when they get to the signup page, they get instantly redirected to the signup form of a different processor; a signup page completely unrelated to the site they attempted to sign up at, the affiliate does not get credit for the sale and the consumer does not gain access to the site that they intended to

In a business such as ours, it is practices like this that give all of us a black eye. I stongly suggest anyone doing business in this manner re-think that strategy.

Don?t believe this anon poster, try it for yourself,

click on free movie to install the software and then click on some of your affiliate links, see if it takes you to a processor that you are getting paid from, or even if your referral id shows up on the signup form

anyone caught redirecting someone else's traffic should be SHOT AND PISSED ON.

Doesn't MegaPornBucks have a few reps that go to conventions and such?

According to the courts from the U-Haul case,,,it's legal to re-direct b/c the client agreed to install the software product.

How crazy is that?

PS U-Haul lost the case.

I'm never wrong about these shady fucks in this business.

I warned everyone when offshoreclicks started doing this. But nobody seemed to care

Holly · 06-16-2004, 08:12 PM

I hate those little floating boxes, on any site.

And did you notice the very bottom of the page? Look where it reads "If you are under 21 years of age or if it is illegal to view adult material in your community please leave now."

Three guesses where the "please leave now" link takes you.

Theo · 06-16-2004, 08:13 PM

I was browser highjacked today through an exit console from another sponsor. I haven't read anything about them doing it and the search function didn't work today for me to find threads about it.

It was a bitch to fix and I can't even imagine 'real' people being able to remove this shit.

search.cc was what the homepage was changing to every 60 seconds.

Fucking hope they overdose on the drugs they must be using to think that this is a cool way to make money. Talk about burning bridges... shit!
