If people went with a zango mobile phone network, and every so often when they got a text they got an advertisement along with it, sure it would fly they might not have many customers but it wouldnt be illegal. Btw Will in the months you have known about this what have you actually done apart from forum posts?

Yes but zango does more than throw a couple of popups around it tracks what you do online builds a profile of your internet habbits and sends you ads relating to your browsing, So If zango had a mobile phone company they would listen to your calls and send you a text relating to what you said to the other person which would be highly illegal. In effect they "bug" your computer and try to sell shit to you that you may be interested in

Bump for a good thread, let us all remove sponsors that steal our traffic, do not support this robbery!!!!!!!!!!!
I found this useful link with a list of sponsors using Zango Steals Cash

The reason aff/cams is getting the shit for this is because by their own words "they are the market leaders" So if you start a campaign against say a drugs you go after the big guys and cut off the supply to the little guys so by getting people to stop promoting aff untill they drop adware seems like the sensible thing to do "Hurt their pockets" which will hurt zango's pockets and it starts a chain reaction, Once aff/cams stop using zango other companies will take action because they can no longer "fly under the radar" and let aff/cams take all the flack. This is the best way to deal with the zango thing

I have read this thread thoroughly. deserves a bump.

What an "in a nutshell" summary :thumbsup

to the front page it goes...

Thanks for that:thumbsup

"you people" seem to ask the same 5 - 6 questions.

(one of them) What have I done about this ?

I have bitched. If it wasn't for me 90% of the people here would not have known about this, and I bet there would be NO zango/scumware threads right now. Doing a search back over GFY the last couple years I see this issue was only mentioned once or twice and it faded away each time after a day of posting. Each person here is capable of doing something to help with this. The programmers have come up with code to try to fight it. Some people have dropped their traffic with sponsors who support scumware. Some people have written the FTC. Some people have tried to educate their surfers. Some people like me continue to try to bring awareness (aka bitch). Even Sig whores help by bumping threads.

But the better question is, what have you done about this ?

True. Good point. And they wouldn't just send you a message. They would wait for you to make a call and then they would connect you with someone else. After you talked to that person and hung up, then you would be delivered to the orginal person you were trying tocall.

Could you see picking up the phone and dialing Pizza hut's number and the person saying " Hello would you like to place an order (and it was dominos ?) After you hang up you are then connected to pizza hut. NO WAY this would fly. Too bad the people who make the laws don't know what the fuck is going on online or understand it and the surfers, for the most part are just use to this crap happening.

It's going to be a total pisser removing their ads from dozens of sites but it's something that's going to get done.

12,000 signups on one test account I set up with them 6 months ago, and yesterday that brought in one sale.

Fuck 'em :321GFY

bump for more people to remove links

Sleazy cracks me up.

Just wait until Google as an example finds out what happens with the search results!

Then the Zango brotherhood here can say goodbye! It can be fines they could not image!

AFF or cams.com? hard to believe such ratio

Great post, glad to see people are realizing that this Zango thing is just part of the issue...

Anyway cant wait to see AFF getting its ass nailed by association and funding illegal content sites and alot more :)

AFF only. Not worth my while giving away screenies considering the rebills and stepping on people's toes, but it's just wierd how it goes from dozens of orders to just ONE in a day. Time to change aff program.

do you own eatmyshort? answer me! :)

why do you not accept philippine based webmasters in ND? :P

1oo AFF threads

yes - he owns it

:thumbsup !! YOU ROCK SMOKEY !!

yes he does

Well for such a huge problem as you make out just forum posts in all these months doesnt back that up much huh. Considering youve been "stolen" from all this time why havent you pursued legal damage? If someone stole my car i would be on to the police, so why arent you when your supposed money has been stolen?
I havent done nothing, infact zango is converting even better for me lately. I think maybe since alot of sites are getting there users to remove zango when they re download it from my sites it counts as a new referral. Thanks guys :)

Are you on crack? Just because someone else is a thief it makes it ok to steal as well...? good logic.

nice. the person who is installing zango on people's computers is giving me hard time saying I haven't done enough to stop zango. :upsidedow

yeah its my website.

I dont want you to stop them, just wonder why you do so little about them i mean they must have stolen tens of thousands from you huh..Your motive is obviously different then what you say.
But by getting the word out you do help me as i said above.

Translation: "I don't care who gets fucked over.. I still make my money"

You know Matt, I was thinking I might just go make a metrics direct account and target Arcade Rockstar. Do you think I will make good money with that ?

it looks great man. i think my nephews came across that site lol..
will hit you up to ask something about your site. like it yoh :)

bump for fat webmasters!

Look at that. Zango even affects mainstream sites.

http://www.teamclickcash.com/zango/symantec.jpg

I clicked a Symantec Ad on this game site and when Symantec poped up a zango ad come on top of it for some registry cleaner oftware. I guess the person who is an affiliate for Symantec is getting screwed by zango too. I am sure someone like this wouldn't be stupid enough to promote zangocash himself, and shoot himself in the foot. :2 cents:

just read this. good post.

bump....
:pimp

That gotta hurt ... I'm curious if this will be a trend ...

more people need to remove links until they actually drop Zango and other spyware companies.

to the top this thread goes...

My name isnt Matt :error I dont advertise with zango either so dont know where you will get good results.

Sexyads has NEVER had nothing to do with ZANGO or this type of blatant aversion :mad:
