Nice.. AFF just terminated my account...
 

Can someone read this and make some fucking sense out of it?

Apparently we all have to comply with this shit and I haven't the slightest clue of what it is asking me to do. I am a little high right now...

Anyone got Cliff's Notes on this?

You probably promised them $150k in small unmarked bills like you did me.

oh snap you mean i'm not getting the $150k he promised me ?

Id ask them for clarification tbh. Looks to me like someone is suing them cause they didn't like being seen on the site or something along those lines, and I'm guessing if they disabled your account you were promoting something involving that party and or their issue with AFF.

aff was ordered by the ftc not to advertise or promote aff by means of a banner/frame/popup that contains sexually explicit material, they were ordered to also inform affiliates of this ?

Yes, Lars Mapstead and Andrew Conru, were/are, in my opinion, unscrupulous in some of their business practices. IMHO, they are both master manipulators, without any sense of conscience.

Basically bandits/PT Barnum's of the internet. :321GFY

Their AFF business was a failure, losing big money at the end, so they climbed in bed and sold out to even shadier people than themselves (as hard as that is to imagine), out of utter selfishness/greed.

It's been over a year since the new ownes announced that they would issue an IPO in order to pay off something like a half-billion in debt, yet to date, no IPO has been issued, and the company has sunk even deeper into debt (all the while, helping to finance people that are undermining many content producers in the business).

Um...c'mon guys, you both know that's MY money...

Take a fucking number, Masturbating Bear...

they look like serious guys

it worth to do business with them :pimp:1orglaugh

join the club :/

Got the same one, never was asked once to agree to shit, not going to kiss my traffic goodbye wankers.

check page 4 from 5-25:2 cents:

I think something is up as the date is 2007 in the emails they sent many and the pdf as well is dated back then

Can you still login to your account, any messages there?

Just in a bit of a rut with the economy the way it is...

I will get you and Smokey that cash and everyone else who posts the 50th post numbered as 51, 101, 151 and so on. Just send me an email and I will epassporte that out to you when the economy improves...

Hmm.... looking into this further... The message is sent to people and it doesn't have my ID with their company but it does show my name.

It has a link to login to some other domain...

So if you get this message, it appears to be a phishing scam and I guess the person doing the phishing is going to change your payment details or something...

The PDF is stamped with EFILE... Since when do court judgements get EFILED?

I think this was my old ID I never got around to using and forgot the login to.

So it appears they got hacked and their DB is being used by someone trying to phish...

This is why I asked if you could still login. A 2007 FTC judgement pdf no affiliate manager explanation. Makes no sense whatsoever. Stinks of ex-employee fishing scam.

Hmm... no... they seem to own the domain...

Anyone can register a domain with fake info. Where are the nameservers pointing at?

Hmm.. seems it could be real... But to do this without putting anything from a rep on GFY and other boards just seems stupid...

Same as Getiton.com :Oh crap

i just got my payment from aff :thumbsup paid in my sleep :pimp

Got it too, that is beside the point.

Would be nice to know why they are terminating affiliate accounts. (If indeed they are doing so)

I got one as well for an account I never used.
My normal account seems ok

Maybe, um...GREED!

'Tis the season, y'know? :winkwink:

ADG

bump bump

lol yet you be in here sookn when your account is gone lmao....

i hope not :(:1orglaugh

That section seems to be saying that someone got a sexually explicit pop-up or some kind of ad from AFF which was unsolicited (SPAM).

I imagine it had your Affiliate ID in it.?

Just my guess.

Me too and i emailed Sagi but it is early on the west coast. I am sure he will sort it.

PDF CLIFF NOTES:

In a nutshell what I get from the PDF docs is that you can't serve a sexually explicit ad- be it a banner, pop under, etc- to a surfer unless the surfer is already on a sexually explicit site.

Essentially it's forcing the company and it's affiliates to serve content that matches the site it's going on. So if you've got a PG-13 feeder site you need to be serving PG-13 ads (no insertion / hardcore), but if you're an adult site thats already displaying adult content you can run whatever you want.

ive seen a few people on different boards have had the same email

I was tempted to reply that I had terminated them years ago.

aff leads dating way ahead

Ccan someone tell me what the fuck is going on here?!

I got the same email I haven't promoted them inyears though so I thought it was just me..lol

they termed mine too


good riddance. I wouldnt send them 1 click anyway

Fake profiles, what a shock :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Has Sagi or anyone from AFF commented yet?
