    How many people here were scammed by BustBank / BustBox

    Seems their domains are pending delete/redemption.
    Currently, both bustbox.com and bustbank.com are godaddy parking pages.

    Prior to their disappearance, I noticed random aff code changing. 50% of the time the aff code would be different, not the one assigned to me.

    I hit up the rep I was accustomed to chatting with, whom was no longer with the company.

    So, I emailed them via bronzedot.com as instructed and to date, no reply to daily emails for the past week regarding the aff code switches and their disappearance.

    Also, take note that these scammers had the audacity to notify their surfers that the url was changing to mybustbox.com, but never did they notify webmasters of this change.

    I found that login works via http://www.mybustbox.com/affiliate/affiliates , however, link code in the system still shows as bustbox.com

    I also attempted contact via their contact form in this interface regarding payout and their disappearance.

    I am not sure of their connection to bronzedot.com, but the contact email I was given was on this domain. Also, notice that whois for bustbox.com and mybustbox.com are separate entities/info.

    At this point, due to their continued ignoring of this situation, it is assumed that payouts due will not be remitted.

    Anyone sending traffic to oobile.com or bustbox.com should remove their links and promo.

                I was the owner of the affiliate code that was sending all the jumptap traffic that the site was getting. 205.142.19

                If you had access to the pays.php you would have recognized my affiliate traffic.

                It sux big time i agree. Oh well all we can do is move on.

                  An update so everyone knows this shit wont be tolerated here.

                  Firstly i want to remind everyone here that affiliates have been locked out of there accounts for the past 1 1/2 months or thereabouts

                  They left a backdoor open at mybustbox.com/pays.php user:bustbox pwd:qwerty123

                  After reviewing my records and looking at the sales for the past 3 months i can see they owe me close to $200 all for recurring billing because i stopped sending them traffic last christmas.

                  Im sure they owe me more because the pays.php script only shows up until 04/27 and im sure they are still making money from my traffic.

                  So Mr Dean Talley it is time to payup. I havent seen a payment since this one.

                  Business Name:
                  Bronze Dot, Inc
                  Buyer Email: [email protected]
                  Payment Sent to:[email protected]

                  Subject:
                  You've got a payment from Bronze Dot
                  Note:
                  Affiliate Payout 2/1/09-2/28/09

                  You remember how to use paypal dont you?
                  Cheers

                    I was able to access my account up until end of May.

                    Prior to this, I noticed my link codes redirecting to a different aff code half the time, so I hit up theharvman since he is the one I usually chatted with regarding bustbox, but he informed me that he's no longer with bustbox and wasn't able to help and told me to email [email protected] whom to date has not responded to the half dozen emails regarding the redirects, the now gone bustbox/bustbank domains, lack of notification to affiliates and non payment.

                          I know of a business contact who tried out their service for a period of time. They still owe him money and his emails go unanswered.

                          He has stated the following in an email to me :-

                          Affiliate codes were being tracked incorrectly and were given to other affiliates with a proportionate amount of these converting signups going directly to bustbox's own affiliate code.

                            still no response from these theives

                            This dean talley is associated with several mainstream projects whom are going to be informed of shady business if this isn't resolved soon.

                            plasmediaproductions.com I believe is Dean's company.

                            There's also Zoroa Financial and BRONZEDOT.COM associated with this bullshit

                                I really dont think they are going to respond, Although i would like to add that Harvey is not involved in this. When i never recieved my feb payment i sent him an email and i had my money within 10 minutes. This all happened AFTER harv left the company.

                                  Yep, spoken to Harvey a few times and he's always come across as a genuinely nice bloke. Hope people don't associate all this mess with him.

                                      four fucking months later, still no fucking payout even after speaking to 2 different people on the phone back in late June, whom made excuses and said payouts would be sent.

                                      What a fucking crock of shit!
