    There this is what type of **** we're up against. Mix this up with the hacking he does: voila, you can now buy yourself a nice farm in Costa Rica.

    Even if they were actively hunting it down, they'd always be up front, but running after the facts.

    This is why he ranks. Check the cached pages of those hacked sites (find one or two) and you will see it. Google is being served the jibberish, the visitor will be served the hacked page. Really clever technology. Expensive too.

    Attention: This is even more interesting now.. Now that I re read this post, I see

    I DID NOT write this reason down. 'source link added' was done NOT by me. I've actually edited the post to take OUT the 'source' link (which only appeared AFTER I posted the post. No way did I post the source link in my post. Why would I?

    So, there. This is how clever this whole fantomaster thing is. It does things for you, that you don't even want it to do.

    Wrong, his changes are in real time. Instantly. Period. And, 'not so quick'?? Try hold your breath for a month, and see if that is 'quick' - One month is more than too long right now. Same time I've lost all of my business. Why can't he?? My situation: No **** was given by anyone. His situation: Sugar coat it and let's wait.

    Do you think, just sending him a friendly email is sufficient in this case? No it is not. They should do whatever it takes to make their voices heard by the hacker. An email does not give a result. Nor should it be used in this case.

    Ask them how they would react if someone was stealing from THEM! I bet, it would be looked after within the hour.

    What? He can? Will? What the... He HAS!! No debating it. And, they should FORCE him to take their brands down ASAP. Not tomorrow, NOW!!

    Let me tell you, those that DID ban him, were replaced with other casinos the very same day. Explain that please.

    Time enough to monitor it. And, the aff program has ways to discover it / know it.

    Quote Originally Posted by universal4 View Post

    Yeah. The answer should be: Remove now: you are banned.

    Look at the clock. We are ONE month further. With all due respect: Still think this is the case??

    Quote Originally Posted by universal4 View Post

    First thing that makes sense in this post.

    Quote Originally Posted by universal4 View Post

    This is why proof was requested. None was given. We have no foot to stand on.

    Quote Originally Posted by universal4 View Post

    If you know that, can you also imagine how it feels to me personally, after having lost all? (After having been exposed with my personal details in this very forum) With all due respect: This part is clearly spoken from a 'GPWA' point of interest type of view, not from an affiliate point who has been affected by it, and most certainly not from someone who has seen all of his work go down the drain simply for sticking out his neck to help us all, including the aff programs.. A discussion goes two ways. So far, next to NONE has been vented back at us. There IS no discussion. We are being made to wait, wait and wait. I am ALL for being polite. But, there are limits.

    If that is the case, then why not take a moment to ask, instead of wait, wait wait and wait a bit more??

    Quote Originally Posted by universal4 View Post

    They should take a moment to read. And, ask. So far, no questions have been asked, nor did we get any satisfactory input what so ever.

    Rick, it is not the duplicate content that ranks. Check out the cached pages (if you can find any, as this tool of his is TOO clever) (Fantomaster dot com, see my post I did a little earlier answering to dfiocch)

    I am not saying you are sugar coating anything. It is going on in general Rick. Pardon me if you thought I did aim that at you. I did not. And, I am not attacking anyone. Most certainly not you.

    Allow me to paint my picture: You try losing all, then see if you can remain calm as a breeze, knowing that no affiliate programs are willing to ban him. Again, I am not attacking anyone, especially not you. I have however lost it all, which is being ignored by all.

    Thanks for understanding.

    I am afraid that won't happen. If not for a month, then why now? Same thing as Michael answering PM's that have been sent over this.

    I am beginning to believe that the GPWA has interest in keeping sponsors happy. Nothing bad, it happens all over the world. That is why they pay big money.

    However, I am beginning to understand that this forum is not for the 'webmasters'... It is a commercial entity where the main core business is to bring more affiliates to the programs who are willing to pay.

    Michael should have already let his voice be heard. I think his company is one of the bigger 'affiliate' businesses compared to all of us. With respect of course, however, a bit of sticking out the neck would have been much appreciated.

    So far - nada. This is not 'being negative' it is merely a conclusion and a huge chance missed.

    just spat my drink all over my computer. He promised me a full indepth look at the stan james issue, yet 5 months later i've heard nothing and GPWA still get PAID by stan james, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Edit - just reminded me that both Anthony and Michael have both ignored PM's about this (stan james) so for full disclosure have PM's Universal4 (rick) for him to get an answer, so lets see what happens next, probably me banned for a bit

    With all my respect

    Are you sure, that your team have i right to investigate this situation?

    Hacking site - this is not only your T&C violation.
    This is not your jurisdiction.
    First off all - this is crime.

    Hacking site - this is crime.
    Stolen traffic from hacking site - this is crime.
    If you receive traffic from hacking sites - this is crime.
    If you don't frozen this account and don't report to police after you receive
    notification, this is - crime. It means that some people from affiliate program
    protect serious crime activity. This is crime too (lawers call this - complicity).

    For example - if somebody stolen my credit card and make deposit in your casinos.
    And i inform you about this? What your team do? 1.) Report police or 2.) start your own investigation?
    I think the first. When somebody hacking sites - from law point of view - this is the same = crime.
    If you don't belive me, ask your lawers.

    And does not matter where you team and your company located - in UK or in the State of Israel
    This is crime in both countries.

    Only you know - who this black affiliate is. If you don't frozen they account and report
    to autorities you play with fire. Becouse in future your country authorities can indict you (personally you, not your company) the charge of harboring cyber crimes and complicity in cyber crimes.

    Sorry for my bad English language.

    Hi Moonlight Cat,

    Thanks. The hacker has been 'paused'. Not banned, but paused. (Of which you will find the definition below)

    To read the exact words as have been given, see this quote:

    Quote Originally Posted by NHLinden View Post

    It could take a few days, but will be done soon.

    Thanks,
    On which I answered:

    Quote Originally Posted by antihacker View Post

    What is the definition of 'paused' please?
    Is he banned?

    Thank you
    The answer I got:

    Quote Originally Posted by NHLinden View Post

    On which I asked:

    Quote Originally Posted by antihacker View Post

    Which resulted in this fantastic answer:

    Quote Originally Posted by NHLinden View Post

    We're not working with him anymore, nor will we do so in the near future.
    Jokerman99 then asked

    Quote Originally Posted by Jokerman99 View Post

    To be shut up by

    Quote Originally Posted by NHLinden View Post

    I cannot reveal payments information on the forum.
    No affiliate, no matter what he does, would like his payment or stats details revealed here.

    What I wrote so far should be enough to understand how we see things and how we're acting on this instance

    Thanks
    I then answered:

    Quote Originally Posted by antihacker View Post
    A simple no (or yes in your case) would be enough. This reveals nothing BUT just how crooked you are. And, besides that, do you realize just how much this leaves open for speculation? You won't say no, you won't say yes. Any honest program would state no. Others did, you know? With other words, you simply pay him, and work with his organization.

    I know. My personal details HAVE been shared here by the same madafaka you protect. Or, by his accomplish who is now more than likely looking after his relationship with you..

    Take a tea bag. Make 1000000000000000000 cups of tea with this bag.

    Your answer is as strong as the 10000000000000000001th cup.

    Steve says to his accomplish, you just deal with them now, and voila.

    I call fraud. And I call it out loud.

    I hope you get rogued. I'll never work with you. And I hope others will too BAN you.

    Shame on you.
    And continued further with:

    Quote Originally Posted by antihacker View Post

    Quote Originally Posted by antihacker View Post

    warsztatyszczecinek. eu/ ?p=Deuces-wild-video-poker

    Obviously http:// warsztatyszczecinek. eu/ has nothing to do with casinos.


    http:// ads2.williamhill. com/redirect.aspx?pid=182609514&bid=1487410909&lpid=14 87410763 is the affiliate in this particular one.

    Perpetrating site: http:// promocasino. ru/

    Could be the same.
    Could WELL be the same. IMHO it IS the same!

    Ban him AND ALL WHO WORK WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is EXACTLY what I was afraid for: Just give him another account...

    Nice one.

    Do you realize just how much this is shitting in my face? I've lost all thanks to this madafaka.

    Banning a strong word my ass.
    No answer on that one as of yet. (on both occasions I posted it)

    The hacker has been 'paused', yet his organization has more than likely gotten a new account or something. Speculative perhaps, but it does look like it. But, we should 'shut up' as 'what has been written so far should be enough to understand how the affiliate program sees things and how they're acting on this instance'

    Banning is a heavy word ... Paused..

    (Definition of pausing: temporarily interrupt the operation)

    It is indeed becoming more and more clear how these guys and most other affiliate programs are acting.

    They ARE acting...

    Hello,

    here are some thoughts for the weekend. Please don't forget, that a forum is not made for the members only. It's made for the public audience!

    For any other reasons of posting hidden areas exist, that are not public to the audience. A lot of areas like that in GPWA exist. But this is a public thread, a very important thread for the people outside of a GPWA membership, for new readers, possible victims!

    New readers!

    So, ... it goes without saying that they cannot be expected to read all 249 posts in this thread.

    It will be also very helpfully, if informations could be written into one or up to a maximum of two posts in a row, because otherwise many readers are losing concentration and desire to read.

    Moreover: Every page of a GPWA thread has a maximum of 20 posts. The 21st post open a new page of the thread. It's similar to search engine results: Normal readers are reading the 1st result page of Google some the 2nd, but only a few the 3rd or more.

    The last page of this thread will be read by all new readers. The first and second page and second last page and third from last also by a big part of new readers, but all other pages, helpfully information are embedded, only by a minority.

    The sense of a real working thread is not to write as much posts as possible in a row. There is no rush, and writing a single post or two later the day with the same information from 10 posts will safe valuable information, which otherwise will never be found by new readers.

    For example: Short dfiocch's posts are now on second last page, but the reason is not, that 10 different users have written after him. It would be nice, if Moonlight Cat's posts will remain on last page of this thread for at least 48 hours.

    It has to do a little bit with empathy to the readers, the audience, because no one is writing here for himself, or?

    Otherwise it increasingly seems to me that finally in which this thread has a hand comes to nothing.

    I whish all participants ot this thread a wonderful weekend.

    Leopold

    He is using content from GPWA member sites to inject this as a script into the hacked sites that is why he can keep doing this

    I have found him copying my site with a print scraper tool as he is using the 888casino affid SR1112250 on his landing pages.

    so not only he is hacking sites he is also stealing content !

    As expected I've been totally consumed by recent changes.

    While I simply don't have the available time to sink into this issue as I would usually I would like to take some action at this point. If someone can provide a list of programs that have been associated with this site alongside a list of programs that have banned the individual I'll update the reviews of those casinos who haven't to reflect the fact that they continue to work with a business partner engaged in criminal activities. To my mind enough time has now passed to have taken action on this issue and if casinos choose to do something further down the line they can notify users here to ensure they are accurately reflected.

    AffEurope, also on the criminal list, make a fuss: "Has anyone seen any proof of this hacking? before we start crying wolf have these allegations been checked out?"

    Current results regarding the hacker issue

    Today: Affiliates United - Platinum (!) sponsor of GPWA

    The official statement of Mr. Nadav Linden (Head Of Affiliation) is, that Affiliate United only have "paused" (!) their deal with the criminal. No clarifying statement exist, that the business relationship is terminated, a big difference.

    Also very clear is the statement, that Affiliates United will not work with the criminal at the current time and in "near future", but the head of affiliation has not excluded the chance to work with the criminal again sometime in a distant future, which is absolutely necessary, because limiting a "paused" deal only to the "near future" raises questions.

    This is a fact, and here is the source: https://www.gpwa.org/forum/urgent-pl...tml#post768669

    This statement of Mr. Linden, representative of a GPWA Platinum sponsor, shows us the back door that is left open to continue the business relationship with an individual criminal or criminal organisation sometime in a distant future.

    A contrary statement of Affiliates United does not exist. Funds of criminal origin are nonnegotiable. Dialogue in its various manifestations contains virtualities and potentialities to deliberately play down crime.

    It's like Zed.

    Who is Zed?

    Zed's Dead...

    All I've seen here is activity from affiliates. And, we are all as helpless as we have proven to be. Without a voice of GPWA - what's the use being here?

    Not a f****** thing from the 'association' ... That to me says it all: They don't care about us. (Other than letting us sign up to make more money over us...)

    It has been a waste of time. The hacker is stronger than ever, and even platinum sponsors are left alone.

    I'm out. I invite all of you to close the door too, and motivate others to leave too.

    This forum is just like casinoaffiliateprograms. Based on making money for the owners, not looking after the affiliates one single bit.

    A waste of time.

    Thanks to all who did participate. But, it clearly is like mopping in the Atlantic ocean or like trying to sell water to the fish swimming in it.

    I am hugely disappointed.

    the .org is misleading
    I have never had the impression this forum was/is for affiliates.

    I feel for those that spend hours and hours here and get an award and are proud of themselves.

    Sorry guys not buying it not today not tomorrow, it is all politics and money.

    The list keeps changing as the hacker keeps adding sites to replace the ones that have been removed. I contacted both sponsor and non-sponsor programs. Please let me know if any updates need to be made and if you have some on your list that you need me to contact.

    Programs that stopped working with the hacker:
    BGO
    Paddy Power
    Betfair
    Ace Revenue
    William HIll
    Europartners
    Star Games
    Fortune Affiliates (asked to be removed through an affiliate network arrangement)

    Programs that have been contacted and are investigating:
    AffEurope
    Prime Gaming
    AffiliStars

    Other:
    AffPower. Continues to work with hacker after discussions. Feels since their agreement is for a PPC campaign and they could not see any other traffic delivered there was no reason to terminate agreement. https://www.gpwa.org/forum/affpower-...tml#post765831

    Affactive, they said in August they terminated there agreement with the hacker, but the sites are still listed.

    Affiliates United was very cooperative. They were prompt to reply to me and with immediate effect stopped the campaign and asked for all of their material to be removed from the hackers site. Attacking Affiliates United for pausing the campaign instead of terminating is just a matter of semantics. Bottom line the hacker is not promoting them. If AU reactivated the campaign then I could understand your issue with them, but right now I want to thank them for addressing the issue and taking action.
    I am here to help if you have any issues with an affiliate program.
