Here are the facts straight from our fraud control dept.

2. He used a Check Cashing Business as the "payee name" when he signed up. This was the first red flag.
3. He gave us a bogus Tax ID. When we asked him for a correct one, he decided he wanted a wire instead and he asked that we change his Payee name to a Russian name. Surprise, surprise....
4. He had 4 sign-ups. All 4 canceled. Again, big surprise here....
Anyone still think that FlyntDigital screwed Trent? Give me a fucking break.
Some people might not like FlyntDigital because of Acacia, or because they don't like Larry or whatever. To each his own.
However, we run an honest program and we've never screwed anyone. Period.

OKAY,
it is all true, Im not going to deny anything. Yes, sometimes I use Check cashing company to cash the checks because I live in a small russian city where its just impossible to cash US check. When I received one of my first affiliate checks a couple of years ago I went to the bank and asked how can I get the money. Bank accountant watched at the check like for 20 minutes, then called someone, and after that told me they dont cash checks like that. So, since then when I signup with sponsor I use a wire option, or if theres no such option, I use that check cashing service. They cash my checks and then wire the money back to me. Is there something bad in this? If I need to do this it means that Im a malicious cheater? If sponsors' FAQs and Terms doesnt state anything about wire option, I always email them and ask exactly if they do or dont. My emails wasnt answered in this case so I had no choice than to use cashing service. Then, when I was finally able to get in touch with one of FlyntDigital representative on ICQ, that was Darren (Hustler DJ), he told me that they do wires, and THAT, and nothing else, was the reason I requested to change my details. Heres the email I received about the wire to prove its not bullshit. I received it ONLY on Dec, 31:
"Dear Webmaster,
$100.00 is the minimum amount we will wire. The fee is $32.00 domestic and
$42.00 international, which is deducted from the amount of the wire per
period.
The following is necessary to setup the wire transfer:
Payee Name:
Beneficiary Bank:
Beneficiary Bank Address:
Beneficiary Account No:
Bank Swift:
Intermediary Bank :
Intermediary Bank Address:
Intermediary Bank SWIFT:
Intermediary Bank ABA:
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best Regards,
Matthew
Accounts Management
FlyntDigital"
Off course if the wire option was available, I asked to switch me. Again, is there something bad in this? I cant see how it could show that I was going to cheat the program. I changed the details like that with some other sponsors and everything was always fine. None of them called me a cheater after that.
I sent Flyntdigital fair traffic. I provided a snapshots of my AdWords campaign to prove that. If they were cancelled, again it doesnt fucking mean that im a cheater. Google traffic always did well for me and if your sites cant convert it then fuck it, theres a lot of sponsors that do it very good. But coming up with bullshit accusions that I committed a credit card fraud just because I asked to change my details for a fair reason is a lame style. I dont know what fucking reputation are you talking about. I cant imagine any other sponsor that will do shit like that...
