Russians in the biz
 

How come there are so many program owners and promoters from Russia? Some of their sites are first class.

Because they can have pictures of 10 year olds on their sites and spam the living fuck out of everybody and install spywear on your computer and get away with it cuz they're in a 2 bit country with shitty law enforcement :thumbsup

Yea, but you're gay.

lol thats funny

rofl! :D

EXACTLY!!!

:1orglaugh



Any Russians here? :)

They're busy spamming most likely, or participating in vodka riots

who in the biz? :D

Ahh stop the damn Russian hate.
There are more scammers, spammers, and cheaters in North America than there is in Russia in this biz. Out of all the deals I have done over the years I have only had one bad experience with a Russian, yet somehow I have been fucked out of thousands by people in North America.

Fact is they are just an easy scape goat for many. Then people also think "oh look he speaks bad english" he must be an idiot and a cheat. Despite the fact that most of "us" only speak english and the typical bad english speaker not only learned our language some they often can speak or write several others.

Fuck all the hate and by the way just because you have a whois in russia, it does not mean that the site owner is either russian or even lives there oddly enough.

eh, maybe so.. but most russians i've dealt with in this biz are all schemers
just my :2 cents:

Most of our chargebacks and fraud come from Russia... Don't get me wrong I am not a russian hater, but hey man when you continually time after time get fucked by them it leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Under Russian law, spamming is not considered illegal, although lawmakers are working on legal projects that could protect Russian Internet users like they do in Europe and the U.S.

In six years we've only had one russian-based affiliate, and they failed to pay up for almost a year. After a few lame excuses from them, we finally got our revenues, but we discontinued doing business with them.

russians are cool

I've never seen sites in English that are dedicated to making fake credit cards... seen a few in Russian... and I found the links at Flashcash where they have a Russian Webmaster only forum...

:2 cents:

you take money from your affiliates????

damn!

If you are an affiliate, you have an affiliate. You and the sponsor are affiliated. See? :)

Russian rocks

Mouhahahaha :1orglaugh

the only people you can not trust in this business are yankees from texas and spics

Wasn't it also the Russians who fucked over Paypal in the beginning?

There are no yankees from texas

when was the last time you read here about a russian scamming someone? Not saying this doesnt exist, but I can recall like 10-threads for american/european webmasters n' companies just the last few days; add to them the shitload of aff. programs that defraud you without realising it and then we talk.

I know one russian webmaster, and he is a great hardworking guy!

well, lets not forget:

as far as arguments about the fact that you see no posts here between people and russian scammers, why is it that people think that the whole industry is on this board? :1orglaugh
