Advertise Ringtones as FREE on Copeac - They Allow It!

    Apparently they allow affiliates to advertise their ringtones as free. I reported this to them 2 days ago and its still going strong. This guy is purchasing ads ALL over the place. Here are his Ads, his links still work and are active. What gives? He is why things are being ruined for everyone.

    Big will we don't allow misleading marketing on any offer we promote even ringtones. The affiliate you sent to us, flycell and everyone else is cloaking the link and not allwoing IP's in our state to see what you see.

    Help us solve the problem and send us the actual redirect instead of the final destination page as it is not helping to find the offending party.

    You sent us the ad which is

    Ad:

    Hey, Get 15 Absolutely Free Ringtones as a Sample! Full subscription as low as $9.99 per month. But 15 ringtones you can get for free as a sample. www.ringtones.us/15-sample

    You also sent it last night at 9 PM EST not two days ago

    Subject: Fw: Someone advertising your site as free. This is illegal

    When we click the ad it goes here
    http://www.searchpils.com/search.php?aid=9000&said=1&keyword=free+ringtones

    No need to post everywhere that this one guy is killing the industry for all. Why not help to clean it up. Obviously you have an issue with this guy but be honest about what youre posting, and dont claim you sent us something two days ago and we havent taken care of it when you sent it last night and we have been working on it since we got in this morning when we saw it.

    Since you can see the link why dont you either got to http://httpwatch.com/ and download the HTTP viewer and help us find the redirect or if you are afraid to download something go to rexswain.com and click on the HTTP viewer and help us find the link, otherwise your posting and crying is not helping anyone.

    As a side note any affiliate caught mis-representing any advertiser we distribute whether it be ringtones, or wrinkle cream, and violating Section 5 of the FTC code regarding deceptive and misleading advertising is immediately removed and not paid any money owed to them.

    Thank you for providing more details on him. He is now gone from our network.

    If in the future you have any issues i would appreciate it if you contact me directly instead of posting on a forum something that is not accurate such as us allowing free in ringtone promotions or misrepresenting any offer in our network.

    My email can be found below, i am sure you posted on DP because you know i post here as well and wanted to get my attention, but in the future feel free to contact me directly.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    mike at intermarkmedia dot com. I am going to update my sig since its not there
