ND account suspended for fraud & copyright infringement... WTF?!
 

Just wondering if anybody else has had this problem... and YES I have e-mailed them already!

Just making sure it isn't epidemic...

We regret to inform you that your account has been flagged for potential fraud by our fraud department. Please provide us with as much information regarding your traffic. Where is your traffic coming from? How are you promoting? The more information the better, so we can properly investigate your account.


Your account has been suspended while we investigate further. Also, we noticed that you are using other people?s content to promote our sites. We do not allow this type of promotion as it infringes on other people?s copyrights. Secondly, they are not models inside the member?s area, which deceives the user thereby increasing the chances that they will cancel the membership and not tell their friends.

:helpme

they're there to help

you cant use purachased content to push Nasty Dollars sites?

roh roh

got to read each sponsor's TOS or else you'll get an email like this

i met the voice of scooby doo.. he owns an ice cream shop 10 mins away:thumbsup

Hopefully you will be able to get it resolved soon.

Been at this for roughly 8 years now... have never had a problem.

that sucks then. I bet you have made them lots of money too.

can anyone link the ND TOS?

there is not one on the site

founds it

http://nastydollars.com/terms.htm?wm_refer=

i was blind for a minute

And the email headers look legit to me... so I'm guessing it's not somebody trying to figure out how I get traffic to my sites.

Don't feel that i've violated any of the TOS.

This sucks. I hope you wont lose your money....

All 35$ of it? Say it ain't so!

Not too worried... I'd assume it will get resolved, and if it doesn't I'm only out $490, not the end of the world but since I only promote them on my older sites it can be a pain in the ass to swap out the older static banners.... :(

They've done it before, so assume it's legit.

This part is relatively new.

"Also, we noticed that you are using other people?s content to promote our sites. We do not allow this type of promotion as it infringes on other people?s copyrights. Secondly, they are not models inside the member?s area, which deceives the user thereby increasing the chances that they will cancel the membership and not tell their friends."

Can't say that I've seen that particular clause posted publicly before.

I've seen planty of pages using purchased content to sell nd.

Hope you keep those good google positions and let the cash roll in for a bit longer... because your comedy routine is a bit weak to be taking on the road just yet!

So in closing... GFY. Bitch. :321GFY

Hope u didn't have alot of money in that account

If you have any questions call them up or look for them on ICQ

hopefully you'll get all the money youre owed thus far, if you stop doing whatever they're accusing you of, they should pay you what you're owed.

If you had read the thread before posting you would know why i am quoting you.


Don't take it as an attack, but as a heads up.:thumbsup

does he drive a mystery van ?

Thanks everyone for the kind words & suggestions... :thumbsup

Just to clarify, I'm not bringing this out on the boards to warn people about ND (they have always paid me like clockwork and have converted with the best of them) or to bribe them to release the funds.

Was just curious if anybody had been in the same position so thought I would ask here.

:)

Fuck you - aside from Topbucks, there is not a more solid sponsor than ND. I hate to se them get trashed on the boards.

That's why I have to call you newbler fags out.

:321GFY

I don't think they are saying you can't use purchased content to promote them, although they are suggesting you don't. The wording here seems to suggest that they are accusing you of using "stolen" content.

Also, we noticed that you are using other people?s content to promote our sites. We do not allow this type of promotion as it infringes on other people?s copyrights

They wouldn't mention copyrights if they didn't think the content was stolen.

Trashed on the boards? Did I miss something?

Unless they own the content or recognize it as exclusive content from somebody else they have no way of knowing who's copyrights I either am or am not infringing upon.

Just face it: You fucked up.

Smells like drammma! :thumbsup

It says nothing in their TOS about not being able to use licensed content on sites promoting ND.

UPDATE: They have not responded to my email and have now locked me out of my account.

Tried phoning and the person I'm supposed to be speaking to was out for lunch.

:feels-hot

I also understand it that way, but overall i can't really judge this situation.

weird

LOL get em Jay! Your grumpy today eh.. off to bother you on icq then!

To clarify, I have been promoting them inside the protected areas of some of my older premium AVS sites. (about 800 sites in total, so I have ND ads on about 6000 html pages)

The only methods I have been using for advertising are the banners they provide themselves for their affiliates, as well as text-links that I came up with on my own (allowed in their TOS)

No false claims are made in regards to their sites or anything like that, just "Click Here To See Real College Girls Drinking Cum On Video!" etc.. etc...

All content across all my sites, including the members areas of the AVS Sites in question is fully licensed with the paperwork to back it up.

:helpme

Wow! 6000 html pages to change?!

Man, that is gonna SUCK!

Usualy they are around here. They are very silent now?

I can't get anyone on the phone or by e-mail either.

This shit is frustrating as all hell....

Don't want to go through the process of swapping out ads considering I don't think i've violated their TOS and would still like to continue sending them traffic.

:(

real mature attitude there jay. C'mon, you know better than that. if you'd stop one second to read his initial post you would see he wasen't bashing on ND.

to clarify, you can use licensed content to promote us, no problem.

your account has been re-instated. we just needed to know where your traffic was coming from.

we will send you an email to follow up. any other questions, just let us know.

Looks like all has worked out...

Thanks guys, I hope you can understand that I didn't want to bring this out on the boards.

:thumbsup

cool beans. good to see things get worked out..!

There's the ND I know :thumbsup
