Make sure you cancel the credit card you used for your subscription. This scam will try to bill you again and again.

Oh by the way.

I’m not really a huge fan of the BBB either in most cases, but for the purposes of collecting evidence and putting out warnings when other agencies can’t they can be useful.

Let’s just say that aside from that I find them to be a bit of a “racket” and to tend to make judgement calls in industries they don’t have expertise in.

Aaron, I guess with a few thousand posts over the last 5 years, you are allowed to have second thoughts about a few of them….

Goes off to do a proper 301 redirect of that old page

Back in the day it wasn’t too hard to scrape together a bit of profits with AdWords ads here and there, but being a PPC affiliate has got much harder over the last half decade.

Ah, just read your letter and realize you are pressuring the “Ad” networks not the affiliate networks.

I’ll have to think about that, but my thinking has always been that putting pressure on the AFFILIATE networks is a critical piece, too, as they are a huge means of distribution for the scam merchants.

Well, you’ll be happy to know that the case I worked directly with the FTC with involved one of the top 100 spammers in the world according to the SpamHaus ROSKO database.

I think putting pressure on the affiliate networks by whatever means necessary as you’ve started to do is probably the most important aspect of what you’re doing and something it seems so far that law enforcement isn’t willing to get involved in.
