Anyone received these emails?


Dear * (gpid= *)

Our records indicate that you have never agreed to the terms and conditions

(For purposes of this notice, Various includes any of its subsidiaries and
affiliated entities.) A copy of the FTC Order is available at

or by contacting Various [email protected]. As a consequence
of your failure to agree to any version of the Affiliate Network Agreement

also forfeited any funds that we may be holding based upon your affiliate
account(s).

Was this determined to be a phishing scam?

There's a thread or two here already about this.

No .

. .

AFF posted into the other thread, it's for dormant accounts which have not yet agreed to the TOS.

Seems a bit strange to take 2 years to do this, and to use the suspend-then-reinstate model rather than just ask people to agree to the TOS by December 31.

.....

:winkwink:

What what else should they have done? Apparently, just asking affiliates to do it the first time didnt get the job done... so terminating the affiliate's account is a good way to get the affiliate's attention. Just agree to the TOS and there are no problems, whats the big deal?

I agree they eventually need to take more drastic action, but the question is did they really only ask once? Any ethical company that was planning to (even if forced by a court order) forfeit, ie NOT PAY, their affiliates would surely have given them several warnings before doing so.

Why did they forfeit the funds effectively immediately yet give affiliates 2 more weeks to agree to the TOS?...

Click and done.

:)

Yeah.. I got it too.. wonder if I signed up twice???

It's not a great time to send out such emails over the christmas period when people are often distracted.

Anyway, still waiting on aff emailing my password. Wonder if I will receive that before the 31st.
