    Hi everyone
    I am planning to Add A section For Fraud Affiliate Networks .
    Affiliate network softwares are getting cheaper day by day . It does let Scammers start new affiliate networks cost effectively . I have personally come across over 10 such networks in past 5 years which stop existing after few months and did not pay even a single affiliate .
    So have you ever been scammed by some affiliate network . Please post Details here . I will try to approach affiliate network personally and try to recover dues for you (if i feel you are legitimate and network is legitmiate too).Please share your stories in this thread . I will Add best stories on my website to warn other affiliates to join such affiliate network .
    Thanks

    Great Step . But control over fake reviews . Ask posters to post their works screen shot before blame any network .

    Yes in 80% cases probably fraud affiliates accuse networks of scamming .An affiliate fraud is usually small but there are some affiliate network frauds which could be worth $$$$$ or probably millions of dollars.So its serious issues . Recently I have heard some affiliate networks like theedunetwork, Tattomedia did not pay affiliates at all and i doubt probably the fraud could be Well over million dollar by such networks .

    I have to agree with you. There are many fraudsters try to blackmail networks to get them paid, or otherwise they will post fake reviews on affiliate network review sites like ours.

    Yes, as some people start a thread like this to mutilate a reputation of a network on purpose. But it's a great idea.

    Some publisher shit like blackmailing networks . But Networks should not care about them because they have proof of fraud activity . When guys say us that " just BS network and many more we do not care of them we kindly ask them " post your publisher Id or Email, So that we can see this for you " unbelievable !!! they never come back .

    This is also not a good step , new networks come and start business but ppls do not believe over them because they have kicked from a new fraud network .

    1. someone who is honest(a network) should not worry about fake reviews at all . because either affiliates /people/competitors are not so free to post fake reviews . and if someone post fake reviews , honest network will get number of positive reviews from affiliates .
    2.But trust me affiliate marketing is in trouble , Here is the reason . if some scammer's account is cancelled he can easily get account with some other network .So Scammer's Business has been increased too .
    3. Offer prices are decreased , I remember few years ago you were getting like $30-$40 for CC , submit , online college degrees . now after few years prices for most of the offers are going down or stable

    I agree with you Fraudaffiliates.org. We are a new network that just opened in September of 2009 privately and then to the public a few weeks ago. We have already heard of so many people not getting paid from other networks as well as fake reviews being posted. To alexcpa.....Same thing with me. I've heard many things about tatto media lately, but my personal experiences have been relatively OK from the time that I did deal with them.

    The Edunetwork is a 100% scam network. The do not pay affiliates. If you have earned money with them you will never see it.

    I'm not sure there would be many honest posts.

    Hey FraudAffiliates,

    I think you have a great concept, but I agree with the other DP members. It is best to get reviewers to send screenshots or pictures of proof that they were scammed. If not, you will have many fraudulent claims and the information won't be that helpful to other members.

    Hope this helps!
