Warning to affiliate managers

[Rick S.]

Thanks for this thread. This guy is still around, I just had a chat with him:

[10:53:49 AM] Martin Pedersen: hey
[10:54:13 AM] Martin Pedersen: is this ricardo?
[10:55:57 AM] BigTimeRevenue Support: Hi, yes
[10:56:08 AM] Martin Pedersen: hey it is martin with casinoportalen.com
[10:56:19 AM] Martin Pedersen: i received your email late sorry about that
[10:57:07 AM] BigTimeRevenue Support: oh I see, no problem, we are looking to start a deal with Casinoportalen, I did noticed a couple days ago that you represent Casinosportalen, so I guess it is not the same company
[10:59:32 AM] Martin Pedersen: yes very similar
[10:59:41 AM] Martin Pedersen: (chuckle)
[10:59:50 AM] BigTimeRevenue Support: yeah, funny how it links to the real casinoportalen
[10:59:52 AM] BigTimeRevenue Support: nice try
[11:00:12 AM] Martin Pedersen: nice try we still have over 500 affiliates
[11:00:18 AM] Martin Pedersen: ?
[11:00:47 AM] BigTimeRevenue Support: well, 500 affiliates and no website, good job dude!

And, he left the chat session.

Not sure if the same one, but here is another twist. But they are getting more sophisticated, even providing phone numbers and such. I recently got this one claiming to be from pokerlistings.com but look at the added S in his address matt@pokerslistings.com
Seriously these people should be punished middle age style....

"Hi there,
We spoke awhile back about sending your casino players. Because of recent events in the online poker industry, we have started focusing a lot more on casino players.
We are looking for a few casinos to take our German and UK traffic from pokerlistings.com. For our German traffic, we are looking for casinos that have customer support that speaks German, as this is obviously important when it comes to high retention rates.

Please let me know if you are interested and have the resources to handle this type of player. You can call me anytime, but it would probably be easier to reach me on Skype.
Best Regards,
Matt Pearce
