Platinum Bucks are shady fuckers

Bump....

Report this to Platinum Bucks ... directly or on their board ...

it is bad situation... everything must be report to the sponsor.. ...

hmmmmmmmmm

damn this is bad... bump for PB!

It's a rogue affiliate, dummy ! There are no program owners without morals and business ethics, it's always some shady rogue affiliate !

Repeat, ROGUE AFFILIATE, nominated for word of the year.

Bump . . .

Dude, your computer is infected with spyware. That is NOT the signup page for any platinum bucks site. The "pirateaccess" domain should have told you that. Get some good antivirus/antispyware software and clean your shit up.

Clicking on the links would have prevented a stupid post like yours. No spyware involved.

Platinum Bucks doesn't give a shit about stuff like this. It's their business model.

morals don't pay the bills

I didn't have to click on that dumbass link that is NOT platinumbucks. I simply went to one of the platinum bucks galleries on my tgp and clicked to the tour and then clicked to the join. Why the fuck would I want to click on a link that is NOT hosted by Platinum Bucks? That is stupidity. The original post claims that the Platinum Bucks JOIN page is that URL. It is not. Checking shit like that is my business when I promote somebody. The spyware is what gave the original poster that URL to begin with. If his computer were clean he would have went to the REAL Platinum Bucks join page. Don't ever question me again! LOL!

they didn't give a fuck about Maddawgz doing the same thing http://warezquality.com/signup.html so I dont think they'll give a fuck about the link in the first post thats probably one of maddawgz site too

He did not get that link from spyware. You should check his links further before continuing :)

But since you seem to want to talk about Platinumbucks and spyware. Here are a few links to check out.

im in it for the sig spot :thumbsup

Good find man

I reported it about a week ago. No response.

I know it's a rogue affiliate. However, PB doesn't seem to mind.. notice the number of "New Members" on the join page. Hmmm...:error

Holy christ, you're a fucking idiot. He didn't say that the link was a PB join link.

The site offers access to illegal downloads in return for the user signing up for one of 3 PB sites.

The first link is an offer page with an explanation of what the user has to do. The second link provides three different PB sites to choose from.

No spyware involved anywhere. If you have absolutely no clue what the hell you're talking about, keep you're mouth shut. It'll make you look a lot smarter.

Oh shit...we have a problem now. You don't know me. Don't call me an idiot. You're not a friend of mine and you're not familiar with me. Unless you have the balls to do that in "real" life. Please don't get all brave and shit on here. Learn to be civil.
And YES he did insinuate that is was a PB link: "So if I sign-up for a Platinum Bucks site, "
The name of the thread also insinuates it.
I was only pointing out that it is NOT the Platinum Bucks signup page. It is just another fucking spyware/adware/zango/scumware/ SHIT WARE redirect.
Now why don't you relax, take a deep breath and back the fuck off. Not everybody on here likes being called an idiot by people like you.

"Kriss Kross" I'm one of the people who don't like it. My REAL name is Robbie. Everybody knows me. I don't make up names to put on a message board. I'm a guy who has been in this shit for a long time.
And if you are a professional...then please refrain from acting out. I would like to keep this conversation on course.

The reality is...that isn't a platinum bucks signup page. The original thread starter got sent to a page that ISN'T platinum bucks.
That's what I was saying in the beginning. His computer has some kind of spyware that sent him to : http://www.pirateaccess.com/signup.php in the first fucking place.

If his computer were clean he would have went to a page like:
http://66.115.151.29/cascade/cascade..._id=1&proc_id=

Which would have led to this page:
https://wnu.com/secure/fpost.cgi?co_...x_i d=1270274

That is a REAL signup page. Not the redirect URL that was posted in the beginning.

What is happening is PB is another program getting targeted. They are getting fucked. But according to your logic...I guess every program out there that is losing sales because of this bullshit is somehow the bad guy.

Are you even really in the porn biz? Or are you just a guy who signed up for an affiliate program or two and giving your two cents?

Save your insults for the kids. Don't hurl 'em at me. And I won't throw any at you. I was only pointing a fact about this post. It is insinuating an untruth. But I guess I'm wasting my time. Go ahead...write some more shit. Have a good time. And when it's all said and done..that is STILL a scumware link and not a PB signup page. And if the original poster had a clean computer he NEVER would have gotten that page to begin with.
The End.

rogue affiliates are the "Two black youth wearing hoodies" of online crime.

You won't get any either. PlatinumBucks would pimp their grandmothers on the corner for an extra buck, why would they care about webmasters?

Err...

http://www.pirateaccess.com/signup.php links to http://8.14.147.194/x/pa.html

http://8.14.147.194/x/pa.html has three platinumbucks banners on it.

The https://wnu.com/secure/fpost.cgi?co_...x_i d=1270274 link you posted is a platinumbucks biller page, look at the company code.

There is no spyware involved here, I'm not sure where you got this theory from...



Edit: I just realized you may have missed the point of the thread? An affiliate is using a warez site to promote Platinum Bucks... You get that right?

Those are the links I get when following the directions on the page he posted...

Wow. Are you really this stupid or just playing it up? PirateAccess.com offers people access to warez if they sign up to a Platinum Bucks site using one of his links.

Step 1 - Surfer gets to http://www.pirateaccess.com/signup.php

Step 2 - Above URL contains text explaining said offer with a "Next Step" button.

Step 3 - Surfer clicks on "Next Step" button.

Step 4 - Surfer arrives at page with step-by-step instructions.

Step 5 - Surfer clicks on http://8.14.147.194/x/pa.html

Step 6 - Above URL contains three links to three PB sites.

Step 7 - Surfer joins one of three sites, gets confirmation email of join.

Step 8 - Surfer returns to http://www.pirateaccess.com/signup.php and enters receipt ID to get access to warez site.

No spyware/scumware/malware involved. The above process takes place on an old WinXP machine, a 3 day old Vista laptop and on a MacBook running OS x.4.

If I had Visio, I'd make you a flowchart. Maybe you could wrap your peabrain around that?

So the original URL is some shit that Platinum Bucks uses to get extra money IF your computer is infected with some kind of SHIT ware. Otherwise you would never see those "pirateaccess" URL's to begin with.

I have no argument with anybody on here about whether or not PB is pulling shit like that. My only question is HOW the original poster ended up at the "pirateaccess" URL to begin with.

He said he was trying to sign up for a PB site. I have to assume it was a test signup. Otherwise he is just a surfer who shouldn't really be on here at all anyway.

But if he's a webmaster doing a test signup, and he went to a PB tour and clicked on the JOIN link...then he would never see that "pirateaccess" bullshit UNLESS he was infected with some kind of shit that made him re-direct.

That was what I was saying. I don't have any dog in the "Platinum Bucks is good or bad" fight. They are just one of hundreds that I promote. My only point was that if you're using a clean machine and you go to a PB site tour you will never see that pirate access crap.

Sorry if we all misunderstood what the other was saying. :)

I asked nice. I hope to see you in Las Vegas in Jan. so you can tell me that to my face. Whoever the fuck you are.

:Oh crap

You're really stuck on this whole spyware theory, aren't you?

PirateAccess.com has tons of results in Google for various search terms. Not that complicated for a surfer to find it.

I found it myself because they had the number one result for some keywords I was going for. Not because I was infected by spyware. How the original poster found it is irrelevant, but he probably found it in the same fashion.

He never said he was testing join links. He simply summarized exactly what the site offers. "Sign up for a Platinum Bucks site and get access to tons of warez and free porn".

You're the only one in this thread who still doesn't fully understand what's going on. Don't you feel just a little dumb?

Just in case someone missed that. :)

No, But I am getting real pissed off. Congrats to you! :)

It's funny how Platinum Bucks never post in these threads about there shady practices, DamageX ya should shitlist 'em :)

Been considering it for a long time, actually. Need some solid proof though. :winkwink:

Yeah it has nothing to do with spyware, they come up on keywords we monitor. If you go to their search page whatever you type in they say they have it.

Hey, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I was going by the info the original poster didn't give. He didn't say he was searching for keywords. He just said that if he signed up for a Platinum Bucks site he got a bunch of shit. And he gave a URL that isn't their join page. Leading me to believe that he got re-directed.
Thanks for the info on that.
But Kriss Kross...even though I liked your "Jump, Jump" video back in 1992...I don't appreciate your personal insults to me. And again...if you ever come down from the Great White North and attend an actual show, and would like to explain to me how you think I'm stupid...I would love to drink my beer and listen. Too much unprofessionalism around here with people.

Gee, this is GFY, you didn't actually expect people to talk like big business execs, did you?

You're right...wtf was I thinking? :1orglaugh

Pirate Access is a traffic website, the owner generates traffic through SEO and link trades with other warez site owners, toplists, etc... He makes money off it by selling platinum bucks memberships just like a TGP owner would.

I really do need to get around to pulling down the few platinumbucks links I have up.. Been meaning to since they openly and quite happily supported the ransomeware installing guys.

You are fucking lost man... I don't have spyware.. I found that link in a google search for something. Stop making shit up in my thread.

Thx.. KrisKross, that's it.

Wow Robbie, you're a clever one, aren't you? Maybe try paying attention, jackass.

P.S. Beat me up, I really need it. K thx.

you should be pissed off you have a brain the size of an amoeba

oh thats just fucking fantastic :Oh crap

That'd be easy if the fucking search was working right now. :1orglaugh

Madawgz had a bunch of warez sites pushing $1 trials for platium bucks. PB know about it, they even sent him a PS3 for the sells.

Found it in google
fucking-around-and-business-discussion/763093-hey-madawgz-stop-fucking-platinumbucks-drama.html

Sites still pushing PB

This should be on the front page so bump

Wonder how they'd react if someone stole their content and pushed software to the traffic.

Unfortunately...like most who pull that shit, they don't have any skin in the game. I just looked at their 2257 info. They aren't shooting anything. So they don't give a damn.
I guess you live and learn. :(
