I hate snitching...but I fucking had to... - GoFuckYourself.com

Young · 03-28-2006, 12:18 AM

Ratted out a couple of Adwords publishers pushing knock-off Air Jordans. I have 23 pairs and am an avid collector. I can't stand paying $300-$1,000 for a classic pair and then turn around and seeing fake ones being sold for $65.

So since they were in clear violation...I reported them...

Anyone else ever do something like this? To competition?

Brujah · 03-28-2006, 12:20 AM

Nope. Can't say I have.

fris · 03-28-2006, 12:20 AM

no, but if they are advertising something thats worth a lot and selling fakes, i would in a flash, not for the competition, but cause they are using google to market their stolen goods, google wouldnt like that

Young · 03-28-2006, 12:24 AM

Ya it looks like the two ads i reported were pulled. but there are still a ton more....clear violation of adwords and google doesn't seem to give a fuck until someone actually complains.

AmateurFlix · 03-28-2006, 12:26 AM

I sure as hell wouldn't feel bad about reporting them. Though I would feel bad about paying a grand for sneakers lol

Google just cares about money and you did the right thing.

I learned my lesson 4 years ago. Simultaneosly recieved 2 fake products from two different sellers.

warlock5 · 03-28-2006, 01:06 AM

Actually just reported someone today. I visited their front page and was bombarded by new browser windows in firefox, thought it was a bug, tried it in IE it did the same thing and crashed my system. I haven't seen that shit since 1999. Personally I think its good to report these guys because for every bad site someone visits through google it hurts the credibility of every other site advertising there. May be just a little bit, but give it 5 years and its not going to help your conversions.

I'm portuguese. It's just Jordans and Nike Dunks...they are nice to look at and believe it or not they are also kind of an investment.

I wear shoes 90% of the time...not really much of a sneaker wearer.

but i'm still laughing off of what you said

nico-t · 03-28-2006, 05:56 AM

i never rat people out..
the guys who had that ad up were just taking advantage of what is possible. If u know they are fake, just dont buy em at them, dont rat them out.

Wiggles · 03-28-2006, 06:02 AM

I disagree 100%

Google by themselves would never know about it so they rely and appreciate it when the community does this.

I hate the fakes too

Grapesoda · 03-28-2006, 06:19 AM

allen edmonds on this end, only 6 pair

white-rob-like-whoa · 03-28-2006, 06:24 AM

Good for you.

Only sneaker I would collect are those old Converse Predators from the early 90's. Fuckin' sneakers were like ski boots. You could kick a guy's ass all day with them.
