    Default Posh Friends brand on hacked webpages - Action Required

    Posh Friends brands are getting listed on thousands of hacked pages, this *guy* (read it 'scumbag') doesn't want to give up kicking in the *axs* legit sites. This *guy* (read as above) is outranking legit sites (including ours) scraping content ("canonicalisation hack").

    Proof/Example:

    SE: google
    KW: *high traffic keyword*
    Hacked site: www.gracemanagementservices.com
    Injected page: www.gracemanagementservices.com/?p=214
    Redirects to: hxxp://top-rated-online-casinos2015.com
    PF Brands present on: hxxp://top-rated-online-casinos2015.com/?lang=ru

    PF Brands/Tracking links:

    JoyCasino -> hxxp://plsdrct1.me/casinox2.html?/?partner=p13515p38642pe02e
    Casino-X -> hxxp://re-directme.com/joy2.html?/?partner=p13515p38643p4cbf



    Urgent action required. Take this account down, please. Getting bored to be "x" positions on SERPS under this sh*it...

    Thanks.

    EDIT: Google result hijack. If you click directly on the link provided above it doesn't redirect. This works:

    Dear dfiocch,

    Thank you for information. I gurantee that we'll take action immediately. I can confirm that we didn't know that webpages were hacked, and it's strictly forbidden to promote our brand by illegale means.

    Thanks Katja,

    it's becoming a plague... the worst thing is that this guy uses (also) our content to rank on search engines. Thousands of portals scraped. Including the biggest.

    Can you confirm that the hacked pages you're seeing containing these brands have been disabled/removed/acted upon?

    None. Casino-X still on site. Here:
    hxxp://top-rated-online-casinos2015.com/?lang=it

    Joycasino here:
    hxxp://top-rated-online-casinos2015.com/?lang=es
    hxxp://top-rated-online-casinos2015.com/?lang=lat
    hxxp://top-rated-online-casinos2015.com/?lang=pt
    Plus, if you click on the Japan flag you will be redirected to Joycasino.

    This piece of sh*t still ranking for many keywords with its hacked pages above many LEGIT affiliate sites.

    Plus a note (coincidence?): this morning I got a mail from my tech guy. He found 791 new SHADY, SPAMMY links (most of them as guest posts on spammy blogs) with keyword rich anchor (mainly "free extra bonus" or "free bonus" or variants. "Free" and "Bonus"... piece of sh*t!) pointing to sensitive pages of our site. Additional work, additional lines to disavow... I'M REALLY SICK!

    I swear I will take it at his home and I will kick him ("it") on the molars... tanto ci metto, ma ti trovo!
    It's time to dust off my old job...

    Update from the program please - as well as a fast forward button being pressed on taking effective action?

    Hi everyone,
    I can confirm that we banned this user and he is not going to get payouts anymore. He was informed in advance. We also asked this affiliate to take away our brands from all his pages. As far as I know, we're not presented anymore here hxxp://top-rated-online-casinos2015.com/?lang=ru
    We can expect that this affiliate will take us away soon from the rest of the websites. Unfortunately, I don't know all his websites, so thank you for information, I'll add this info to our database.
