Lets Join Forces To Stop Cheating Affiliates (Program Owners/Managers Only)
 

Hi,

We've been working on a system for programs to share info about cheating affiliates.

If you're a program owner or manager with interest in taking part of this system please contact me at [email protected] or ICQ 3652156

This is an invite only system and only available for reputable programs.

Looking forward to hear from you.

I will join in on this!

i are god affil aidz!


Seriously, nice to see someone taking it serious! Hope your system works out :)

I'll contact ou on Monday to have more detals...

Send me the particulars about it, and I will see if we can get in.

Bump. :thumbsup

I will send you a ICQ on Monday :)

I will rather tell you some of the particulars right here as others may be interested.

At this point, when you catch a cheater you enter his info in to the system such as email, Epassporte accounts etc.

The system then cross links reports and will show if the same person (as identified by various variables) has been reported more then once.... to give the report more credibility.

You can also choose to receive email notifications whenever a new cheater is reported in the system, this way you can stay on top of the issue and disable their accounts before they hit you.

However, this system is still a baby and will be expanded but it already does the job.

Let me know if you're interested in participating.

Hitting you up now!

Hey, I am the accounts manager for the relaunch of PIBCash, i would love to get into the system




hehe

Email sent!

LOL ... I'll get to you right after Shave Bucks, patience patience my friend ;)

Hit me up on icq lets talk about this

thanks for the invite.

You're welcome, just remember to activate email notifications so you will get the latest report as they come in.

Don't worry though you won't be flooded, it sends reports maximum every 4 hours at this point.

:)

dude, the guy that runs shave bucks has been known to shave sales in the past, BE CAREFUL! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I'll be contacting you

email sent... let's get a good list going we can all check against before the epass's go out :)

Great system , major bump.. Already started adding scammers :)

Just sent you an email

Thanks since it's normally the same scammers going program to program this has to help!

Cool idea but what happens when I enter all my whales so no other affiliate program will take their traffic ?

We out you on all the boards for doing so :)

That would be pretty low for you to do as most of us would be cross checking the info and we could tell that it was bogus being most cheaters all have wacky info same epass accts or you see a pattern with their sites or there would possibly come a time when that webmaster would want to know why they are banned from various programs and It would be easy to see who listed them as a cheater ;)

Bumper Cars for the Sunday Afternoon Crew! :pimp

good luck. im not a program owner, but less cheaters means more for the honest people like me...

bumpage to make sure this will be on top.

:helpme

There will be a dispute function, should you enter a "scammer" that I find to be a legit affiliate I would file a dispute against your report. As more and more disputes would be filed against your reports we would initiate a more in depth investigation.

Upon eliminating all reasonable doubt regarding what you're up to proper actions would be taken.

The only thing worse then scamming affiliates is scamming affiliate programs :upsidedow

Also, thanks to everyone that's been showing their support so far .... it's been a great motivation :)

Sounds like a great idea Dario, hitting you up now.

thats a very good idea.

Dario,

I'm in, will hit u up on Monday, I have a ton of cheaters from CTC, as well as known KP webmasters, etc.

bump to the top

i miss the trojan i had that showed cookie hijackers, it helped MP once!

Monday morning bump!!

lol.......

Dropped you an icq, would like to hear more about this :)

I did not get your message, should I blame trillian?




To the others that's been in touch invites will go out shortly :thumbsup

Program Managers,

I am not to sure about the perticulars to this system and how it is setup but I would caution you on unarbitrarily or automatically withholding payment or disabling accounts which are listed by others in any "blacklist" type system. It would possibly be more prudent to just request the listed affiliate to provide more identification information or flag for further account review. Sounds like if a program manager has any issue with an affiliate outside the realm of cheating they could cause serious harm to a legitimate person. There is a reason stores don't anymore post in public bad check writers but report them to national databases which are government by laws like the Fair Credit Reporting Act allowing consumers rights to dispute and privacy.

:2 cents:

I'm game sounds like a great idea

Yep, I agree.

Reports to a system like this should be considered a heads up rather then a ruling.
This is why we will also add functions such as verify / dispute etc.

However, if you get a heads up and you find the affiliate in your program with a 1:1 ratio on PPS with no referrer info then it's pretty obvious what's going on.

In the end, everyone has to think for themselves.
That's why we call it a "Neighbourhood Watch" and not a "Neighbourhood Police".

Thanks for your input :)

Great reply, glad to see you are considering all the possibilities and are open to "Request for Comments". ;)

bumps for a great idea...

kind of funny coming from someone who just got busted with magically disappearing referrals because of an "htaccess accident"

How do you consider me openly explaining what happen, taking the blame and offering credits as "being busted" ?

Should I have tried to deny it or blame it on something else I could see where you're coming though.

i'd use this. this past week alone i caught two assholes attempting to defraud us using trustcash. preloading accounts with stolen credit cards and then buying memberships through their affil ids in trust cash.

they both got shit canned.

You have to be kidding me, shit happens man, we offered full credits to anyone affected for the two weeks on one site.


Was just looking at the site in your Sig, http://www.artgps.com/program.php

Every link 404's, all of has issues with sites.

No one is perfect, it's how its handled in the end that matters.

those are some great hosted galleries :1orglaugh

Shit happens like I said, I bet it's a "htaccess accident" :upsidedow

damn that's a new one... they sure are making an effort to stay one step ahead of us.

which again is why cooperating should help :)
