Business Practices of Certain Adult Programs

[dieselaction]

All,

I think it is important to make you aware of certain adult programs that are working in conjunction with the I-Lookup.com Adware that is likely hijacking consumers from your websites as they attempt to sign-up through certain processors.

This hijacking can all be traced back to a limited number of websites managed by Megapornbucks and processed by Paycom. As you all may be aware, Microsoft and the FBI are currently working together to track this illegal activity back to its origin and those benefitting from it.

This attack happens all on the consumer side and they are almost undoubtedly unaware of what is occuring. One tactic Megapornbucks is using to get this on consumers computers is to have a link on their sites, one such example being facialplayground.com, that says click here for a free video. Once clicked, the I-Lookup toolbar takes over the consumer's IE and begins to control where they get to go and what they get to see. Furthermore, when this happens no one involved with gathering the traffic and sending it to the original site gets any revenue because the hijacking takes it to a site completely unrelated to the original site or sign-up page.

In a business such as ours, it is practices like this that give all of us a black eye. I stongly suggest anyone doing business in this manner re-think that strategy.

In other words, consumers with this adware installed go through a site tour and when they get to the signup page, they get instantly redirected to the signup form of a different processor; a signup page completely unrelated to the site they attempted to sign up at, the affiliate does not get credit for the sale and the consumer does not gain access to the site that they intended to

How can I get in on this?

anyone caught redirecting someone else's traffic should be SHOT AND PISSED ON.

That is a strong accusation. I hope it doesn't turn out to be true.

However that would explain why people claim to be seeing "gaps" in ccbill signups lately, wouldn't it?

If you are sure this type of activity is happening...then get off the board and take your complaints to the authorities in the offending company's state.

And if you don't think your complaint will have any effect...I have in my hands right now a letter from the Executive State Consumer Protection Board - State of New York. And a follow up letter from the Office of the Attorney General - Internet Bureau . NY. All because of a complaint I filed only 7 days ago.

You can make a difference. You just have to get off the soap box..and put your words into action.

Yup, total bullshit.

Just think of what the average surfer has to put up with.

I had to go to the Hun to get rid of a particular group of annoying assholes:
