I completely agree. They put all that work into scamming when they could've spend that time making a good long-term income without getting their accounts banned.
Shouldn't this serve as more of a congrats thread to CJ? I'm glad to see your account got banned, and delighted that you wasted a significant amount of time and saw your $147 burn. The only sad part is that it was such a small amount that they wouldn't bother involving authorities. What you did hurts legitimate marketers, and the fact your so proud of what you almost got away with that you post it on a forum is pathetic.
Activities of this kind of asshole is hurting the interest of General publishers. Because of this kind of activites from people like the OP, CJ is getting peaky on publishers day by day. At the same time, Not saying anything when advertiser reverse sales for no reason. And the OP is really a pathetic one. I agree with DWPRank. He has done such a shameful thing and still posting this on the forum.
You know it's sad that so many people learn of internet marketing through blackhat methods first. Whitehat is so much easier and sustainable, however the easy payout just isn't there. Anyway I have found that the best way to monetize CJ is through the holiday programs they offer. Go after Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentines Day, Easter, ETC. I have had big success with holidays and CJ products. If you play your cards right, you will have an income year round by focusing on holiday products.
Well, cpa networks are not dumb. Even if you do all the tricks successfully, they'll check if there is any conversion from your leads or not. If there isn't, it's done. So, these methods MIGHT work, but in very rare occasions.
I don't think he got paid, because most CPA Networks returns the payment back to the advertisers (or keep it themselves) when an account is suspended.
I have been with cj for 2 years and make a nice income after "hard work", this is just stupid of course you was never gonna get a way with it, you need to earn your money stop scamming the system!
Maybe all of your email was created at home had the same IP but i recommend that nothing is free, you should spend your time and learn how to earn money from it. One day you can get it easily. Good luck.
What you have done was absolutely wrong. You acted like a burglar of the digital age. Think from the other side what if some one else robbed you like that. You might have profited now but remember you will be in loss in some other way.
because we live in a society where everyone wants to earn quick cash and get money right away by doing nothing.. its sad - but its true
I think IP address may not be the only thing which can be used for tracking. even if your IP address changes and you are still using the same computer it can be found out. Mostly I guess these sites use a cookie for tracking their users. so I guess it is easy to find out.
