Your MaxBounty account has been terminated

Hi there,

Your MaxBounty account has been terminated for fraud.

Damn this sux. My $3000 Dollars!!!! Nooooo

 

Thats what happens when you commit fraud.

 

I even asked my AM if what i am doing is ok and he said yea you should be fine... 1 Month later, Your Terminated

 

Looks like you got greedy buddy. Better luck next time.

 

Sorry but, what did you do to get terminated?

 

I get people come and sign up my email submits by posting free stuff on forums. And my AM said is ok to do so i didn't stop until i get terminated and got like $3000 ripped apart

 

Thanks for sharing. I'm new to CPA and every little information is important.

Sorry for you though.

 

Did you mean you posted those email submit offers telling people they could get free stuff? Maybe, the forum owners or someone else complained that you were spamming your affiliate links and trying to mislead people.

Almost all the email and zip sumbit offers does not really give you anything free. You have to complete tons of offers to get whatever the gift is. At the end you probably have to get a home loan or order a year of Dish TV which costs more then the free gift itself. The whole point of those offers is to get real email addresses and mailing address to spam them with junk mail.

 

I'm assuming your offering people "free stuff" was:

1. The free stuff legitimate, for example, it wasn't pirated stuff was it?
2. The email submit offers were "incentive friendly"

Just 2 things you could look at.

 

No actually i don't give out anything. Just my forum and i trick them into signing up my email submits. Well i admit i got greedy and decided not to use the incentive email submits. Maybe thats how i got terminated. Oh well. But the AM should of told me before terminating my account and rip me off

 

No big surpise, Max Bounty does not like forum promotion.

 

You answered your own concern; you had them sign up on non-incentive offers.

 

So you lied to people that you would give them something free for signing up for your email submit offers on forums but didn't really give them anything after they signed up?

That is still considered incentivizing offers, not to mention misleading people into signing up.

 

Well hey, we all make mistakes. And even if your AM said it was okay, you could've answered the issue yourself that it wasn't with the offers being NON-incentive. Sorry dude, best of luck next time

 

Screw max bounty anyway. They are high up on there pedestool.


Never get into an affiliate program like that, who are too ban hammer friendly. I run a freebie site and had to end my partnership with a few affiliate programs because they wouldn't leave me alone because they didn't like how much I was paying my users, or didn't like that my users entered fake email info.

I try my best to stop that, but I cant control my users.

So the moral of this post; Don't deal with bitch networks!

 

sorry to hear that . try to promote other accounts

try to cpastrom

 

Elite Commission is a great network, look into them too!

 

I have heard of this happening when forum owners think that you are spamming their site.
They trace your products back to your affiliate network and then complain about you. Possibly this happened once or twice from different forums and your network got bumbed on you.
Still...I'd like to think that they would have warned you or contacted you first. One strike seems pretty wild.
Perhaps they just didn't feel like paying you?

 

Had this been a simple case of forum spamming, a warning would have definitely been in order. However, when an affiliate DELIBERATELY offers incentives to surfers to signup for a campaign that specifically does not allow incentives, this goes way beyond a simple mistake. This is fraud, this is flat-out theft from the merchant. This cannot be tolerated.

I can assure you that this affiliate did not get the OK from an affiliate manager to offer incentives on non-incentive campaigns, nor did he get the okay to trick surfers.

I've said this on several posts on DP in the past (feel free to search). No network will terminate an honest affiliate in order to avoid paying them a couple thousand dollars. Why end a relationship that could lead to many, many thousands over months/years of business to simply pocket a couple thousand dollars?

 

Max Bounty sucks. so many other affiliate networks out there to choose from. They ban you for any little reason. $3,000 isn't enuff to go after them in court costs tho.

Just remember, stick with the big boys and dont deal with those piss ant networks like Max Bounty
