MegaPornBucks is Stealing Everybodies Traffic
 

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.

not cool at all

Holy shit...1st page fun

This is really unbelievable. Just when you think you've seen all the scams. I say those responsible should be strung up by the balls!

:(

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

nasty

this shit makes my blood boil!!!!! :feels-hot


I hope they get their balls busted and fully taken to the cleaners!!!



:BangBang: megapornbucks

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?

Cheers,
Matt

I-Lookup is 3,814 in alexa, i wonder how many consumers have it on their computers

:helpme

$10 says it was kmans idea

:( that's not good at all

See Sig :)

Any secondary source test this adware linked above?

It's shit like this that gives fuel to the "pornographers are scammers and thieves" fire.

nothing surprises me anymore

yup/



wuttup nigga? ltnt

not good at all

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.

not good although nothing that charlo does would surprise me he has had his fair share of run ins with various government agencies throughout the years :2 cents:

What was the case against u-haul? What did they do?

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

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

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. :1orglaugh

im all good,im up early to hijack few browsers :)

This isn't the first bad thing I've heard about MegaPornBucks

They will never see my traffic.

Ouch :warning

Ironically if this is all true, they very well could.

lol, shitty but funny

whitney has been really helpful she goes to all the conventions i have had no problems dealing with her and megapornbucks and i am sure a lot of people will say the same things, first i have seen this. strange.

I posted this back in May...

http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/showth...hreadid=303965

I pulled the links that same day and haven't looked back since...

piece of shit

Good eye Holly

Busted..

guess it time for me to remover their free hosted galleries from my database.

ouch

Nice ass, Mike.

:glugglug

hard to believe :(

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!

I've got so much damn adware, spyware and scumware on my computer that I don't even know for sure if I'm posting on the REAL gfy....


Steve Lightspeed

hahaha... yes, you are!

so what's the company's counter-position to this?

just shows how careful you need to be when picking sponsors

Easton, it could mean that you are reading the same fake version I'm posting on right?

That would make three of us.

Adware people need to be shot!

Wow, we all have the same hijack? damn insidious!
