    your generalized statement about direct track networks is completely false. Do you have proof that all networks on the direct track platform under track by 10%?

    Mike, i wouldn't waste your breath (or typing) here. Obviously that "xyzkevin" is not a rep, and to those who think that, i feel bad for.

    XYZ is a reliable, trustworthy company. I doubt the OP has any evidence on the claim.

    Theres been quite a number of funny threads lately :D

    I just wanted to ensure everyone that xy7kevin is NOT Kevin De Vincenzi, the CEO of XY7.com, and XY7 does not condone any of the comments made. If you have any questions please feel free to PM me or contact me via e-mail, IM, or phone.

    OUCH , that's pretty hard to believe.

    XY7 supposedly is one of the larger places and have a pretty good reputation from what I hear.

    Having said that...I wondered why none of my netflix leads converted :D Maybe now I know.

    I'm curious about any of the sort of proof so far...It seems like everyone has made general blanket statements.

    Remember guys......You can be sued in the real world for libel :)

    Um.. Understand what I'm saying. The tracking system loses around 10% of all leads and the publisher isn't credited for it, this fact is widely known. And then advertisers/networks scrub an additional % off the leads that weren't lost due to bad tracking.

    Your post doesn't even make sense.

    http://www.ianfernando.com/2008/i-hate-networks-that-use-direct-track/

    Read the comments.

    Mike from MarketLeverage admitting that DT drops leads. Leads are also lost by bad tracking so yeah, why don't you go call Copeac, Clickbooth etc. etc. scammers too?

    Most of the time it is not the network scraping the leads it is the company hosting the offer.. Even if it was the network they are bound to do it.. Look how many blackhat affiliates there are.. do you really think all the networks would be whitehat themselves? Didn't think so....

    Wow, how professional. Just by looking at this I would never sign up.

    Edit: just read the rest of the thread and withdraw my comment. However, I would look at getting this guy banned or something from DP - that's bad rep.

    Why are you worried? If you sue them you will get your money. Sounds like they deserve it. Have you considered that? did you get any screenshots? Dont they even have a guarantee to answer emails?

    How did you find this out? Surely if they were caught there would be investigations to shut them down. Where are they located?

    Yeah, I'm sure the local authorities would get right on that...

    BTW - You people really need to read this entire thread. There has been no proof of any wrong doing by anyone. Obviously stats tracking isn't perfect on any network. People turn cookies off, systems go down from time to time, and other things come up every once in a while which cause commissions to be lost. But this thread is slightly ridiculous since nobody seems to know what's going on and everyone is just speculating and jumping to their own answers.

    I actually e-mailed shoemoney and he told me the guy was banned, but it doesn't appear he actually is so I don't know. You can be sure we've been trying to get this phony banned though.
