    Hi guys.
    This is my story with the biggest scam in the world called MediaShakers by Eyal Barad.
    Sorry for my mistakes in English, but I still only learn English.
    MediaShakers is one of RightMedia ad networks, but 99% of RM networks paying without problem - MediaShakers doesn't
    Read my story before registration.

    Dec, 07, 2010 - Very bad day. I just have created account in MediaShakers. My account was approved by my lovely account manager Shira Ernstoff. Everything looks great.

    Dec, 27, 2010 - Nice email from my account manager Shira Ernstoff. Everything is still okay, my balance is around $3000 USD at this moment. Shira added in Skype IM.

    Dec, 28, 2010 - I have requested for MediaShakers prepaid MasterCard - for payments - they have on MS´s site, that this card is great, no more paypal fees, no waiting for band transfer ... This is great. My daily earnings around $500 USD! Around 10 emails in communication between me and Shira - super fast answers!

    Dec, 30, 2010 - First problem. My CPM for some countries tumbles down... Email for Shira, fast answer, everything looks okay. (My earnings for December 5,279.41 USD).
    Everything is okay ... Shira is online on Skype every day...

    Until 13th. January they has NO PROBLEM WITH MY TRAFFIC.
    When I getting $500 - $900 daily, everything was okay, no problems with communication etc...

    Jan, 13, 2011 - Shira told me that my traffic is fake (??!!) - I have 980 conversions (leads / sales) so far... Sure, sure... Fake traffic generates real conversions ... Haha!

    Jan, 13, 2011 - Jan, 17, 2011 - Communication between me and Shira. Slower answers. Shira still told me that my traffic is fake. I do ALLTHING what Shira wants from me. Shira still request next URL´s of my sites, and next and next informations about my traffic. NO COMPROMISE from MS side.

    From Jan, 17, 2011 no answer from Shira.

    Jan, 22, 2011 - After I sent more than 10 emails to Shira with no reply, Shira wrote me that they had President’s Day in the US (Shira is from Israel i think, but okay) and now waits for an update on my account from her managers.

    FROM 22, JAN, 2011 NO ANSWER FROM SHIRA. SHIRA IS STILL OFFLINE ON SKYPE.

    Mar, 2, 2011 - I got an idea. I can try wrote to CEO of MediaShakers. Maybe he/she will be truly. Message sent from MediaShakers support form. ANSWER received from Eyal Barad (CEO of MediaShakers) within few minutes. Aaaaah... prompt replies again .. I like it...

    Mar, 2, 2011 - Eyal told me that my traffic is very bad, and my account make damages of over $100,000 USD (this is really crazy...). But told me that I need to wait for more info ...

    FROM MAR, 3, 2011 EYAL IGNORES ME.
    I HAVE SENT TO EYAL A LOT OF COMPROMISES, NO ANSWER.


    This is my true story. And my experience: MEDIASHAKERS IS THE BIGGEST SCAM. WHEN DO YOU STOP SENDING TRAFFIC YOU WILL BE IGNORED BY ACCOUNT MANAGER.

    Officiall reason: My CTR is higher that MediaShakers average rate... Really weak argument. AdSense can delete 50% of adsense account for this reason...


    P.S.: When I request for payment Shira told me that money cannot be transfered to MediaShakers MasterCard (what the hell?), and they need my bank account data... Data send, but no answer...

    P.S.2: My average CPM is $0.37 USD. My total earnings 5,577.83 USD, my total impressions 15,173,322, conversions 980. I had quality traffic. A lot of traffic come from France, United States, India (with CTR $0.57 USD), etc...


    True story... No defamation...
    Be careful with this company...

    Dear forum,

    I am reluctant to engage in this conversation in this public forum, however Mr. Erick Pullman has left us no choice but to confront his claims, one by one.
    Mr. Pullman joined our network 3 months ago, under the name of Erick Pullman, Co-Founder of AeesyMedia.

    Immediately after he signed up, his behavior, both personally and statistically aroused our suspicion as an out of ordinary behavior.
    Following, are only a few things that aroused further our suspicions, but what ultimately caused us to close the account were advertiser complaints and canceled budgets as well as suspended payments.

    To note a few:

    • Skype Address in the US, yet does not know English.
    • Application address in Vysehradska 12, Bratislava, Slovakia
    • Refuses to speak on Skype or on phone, only chat
    • Will not answer the phone number listed on Aeesy.com Phone: +1(646)8459727, a NYC phone number.
    • Changes in contact information, immediately upon account approval
    • Extremely out of the ordinary click rate and obviously click fraud.
    Here is a sample of Mr. Pullman’s numbers in various countries:

    Imps: 11,339
    Clicks: 1,061
    Click Rate (%): 9.36

    Imps: 46,409
    Clicks: 4,214
    Click Rate (%): 9.08

    Imps: 1,289,938
    Clicks: 90,287
    Click Rate (%): 7.00

    Imps: 185,399
    Clicks: 12,427
    Click Rate (%): 6.70

    Clicks: 348,746
    Imps: 21,990
    Click Rate (%): 6.31

    • The numbers shown above as well as other more obvious traces point to fraudulent activity.
    Any other network operators will agree and would have reached the same conclusion. We have a responsibility to our advertisers and this type of activity is not acceptable under any circumstance.
    • As a result of working with aeesy.com, we have suffered damage to several different relationships we have with some of our leading advertisers. The damage is estimated at approx. $120,000.

    I wanted to share this information with the forum, in order to warn other industry members and friends. In all our years in business, we have always been able to spot fraudulent activity. Though not always on time, we know fraud when we see it.
    Therefore, be warned, and do not engage in business with Erick Pullman or any other name he’s using associated with aeesy.com – as nothing good will come out of it; on the contrary.

    Mediashakers has thousands of happy publishers some of which are with us for years and can attest to our outstanding payment policy.

    We are just wondering if 08xi Hand of A'dal is really Erick Pullman.
