About 1 week ago a spammer - lets call him "Brad" for the time being, spammed 10,000s of adults and children with emails referring to child porn, rape and beast content for some of my biggest traffic sites.
The same day, sponsors started shutting down my accounts because "Brad" had put my name, referal code and websites on the email. Also the return email was my Domain name email, not a email I use for any other reason then to buy domain names.
Topbucks was the first to shut down my account. I'd been registered with them since early 2000 and made many thousands of dollars with them over the years. I even remember their 4c per click program.
I have spoken to Adam at Topbucks and the last word is final from him, Account terminated due to spamming. Even know I didn't spam anyone.
So this is how webmasters take their competition out now, they spam kids with others webmasters referal codes and that terminates their accounts = NO MORE INCOME from that sponsor. Good way to hurt affiliates.
Also, a big thank you to Rebecca at Trafficgigolos.com, Matt from Movieprofits.com, staff at pussycash.com, Jay from Traffic Cash Gold and some others who showed concern over this abuse from spam. All whom have now given me back my accounts or new accounts. A few accounts where put on hold but are now active again as they could see that this spam was an attack on me and not by me.
Basicly it comes to webmaster terrorism.
