Caution! - MaxBounty Scammed Me

Steve & JP were always around. I don't know where are they to reply to this thread.

P.S: You were using adobe photoshop to paste the screenshot, right?

 

Keyword is "were always around".

That's a great point where are they now? I think maxbounty was a reputable network at first but, now they have declined.

 

Running non incentive offers as incent, huh? Reason why a bunch of people from this forum get banned from Maxbounty

 

Sean9 - That is a legitimate reason to ban someone, coming from a network owner's standpoint. We don't have any non-incentive surveys, so we have never banned anyone for this reason, but if we did, we would too.

Running non-incentive surveys as incentive really makes the advertisers FURIOUS. I am sure Maxbounty doesn't want to lose those advertiser relationships they worked hard for so they protect themselves from publishers that would jeopardize them. They probably hope that publishers they banned for this reason go into the forums to warn their other publishers that they are serious when they said no incentive allowed.

 

I dont think anyone here has even said anything about incentive offers.

I dont understand how either of your post are relevant to anything in this thread.

 

Of course nobody here is going to say they were running non incent as incent... LOL!

Maxbounty don't fuck around. You think you are getting away with it but when payday comes you get banned and cry on digitalpoint or blackhatworld about how they scammed YOU.

 

Thanks ababneh84, I would like to see the company pay for what they have done as its not only me that has been done over by them and the more people we can get to not sign up or cancel their campaigns then the more we will cost them

 

I've been paid out by maxbounty as well.
I find them a trusted company and have not had any issues with them.

 

The fact of the matter is that we WERN'T incenting offers everything was in line and if MaxBounty were correct and had reason to ban us and take our money then why haven't they come forward and said something?
Ive emailed them at the compliance team with a link to this thread and PM'd the MaxBounty affiliate here on DP.

It's alright Sean9 were not having a cry lol we are simply expressing our opinion and previous experience with this network.

 

Im sure there is many affiliates who have, this is why they are a trusted company.

We are simply warning people as to what happened to us.

I originally thought this was a mistake on their behalf and had mixed me up with another affiliate or something but with the lack of communication and un-professionalism it has become apparent this was not the case.

 

I vowed I wasn't going to post here anymore at DigitalPoint because of the needless ban I received, but I couldn't take anymore of the BS spewed by the OP.

ProIMmarketer = MaxBounty affiliate ID 40845

Terminated from MaxBounty for incentivizing a high paying one page Health Quote offer, which was NOT incentivizable. Merchant reported this incentivization after reviewing the data and validating the leads.

Detailed analysis of traffic shows that clicks to the campaign came from one of two sources. Either a low quality bulk traffic provider, or a blank referring URL. 70% of traffic came from low quality bulk traffic provider. Remaining 30% of the traffic came from blank referring URL's.

Leads all came from blank referrer clicks. NO leads came from bulk traffic provider clicks.

Conversion of blank referrer clicks to leads was 50%, which is significantly higher than the average conversion of this campaign.

Beyond the data found by the merchant, the traffic pattern I described is the classic signature of someone incenting non-incentive campaigns and watering down the EPC to avoid detection.

Affiliate had prior history with us of incenting campaigns that did not allow incentives. Received warnings at those times not to do it again.

Affiliate was contacted with the above information at the time of termination.

 

Wildcat7173 = MaxBounty affiliate ID 29022

Terminated from MaxBounty for completing trial offers themselves using either virtual or stolen credit cards. Using either of these types of credit cards leaves the merchant unable to complete any rebill and in worse cases, chargebacks and penalties from their merchant account processor.

Leads coming from proxies or from within single IP blocks.

Proxies are used by fraudulent affiliates to change their IP addresses to appear that there self generated leads are coming from multiple places, in hopes of avoiding detection.

Leads from within the same IP blocks happen when fraudulent affiliates release/renew their IP addresses with their ISP, or login from multiple places within a single location (i.e. school or library).

While the occasional lead can fall under one of the above two categories and be perfectly fine, ALL leads from this affiliate came from one of those two places.

This affiliate was doing the exact same thing using a second MaxBounty account, ID of 39270.

 

lol --- so both Wildcat7173 & ProIMmarketer came to DP to complain and have been caught out. They are nothing more than low life scammers. Can you guys please tell us why you lied?

 

yes, Wildcat7173 & ProIMmarketer should Reply now,
i would like to Thanks STEVEN for taking time for this Thread and made things understandable for us.

 

I agree Maxbounty is good, their reporting is ok and I have had some questionable no referral payouts. I asked what these where and support could not tell me. that is why I went over to clickconversions.net

 

There is no proof of that. The only reason you came to that conclusion is because obviously people weren't satisfy with the product and didn't want to re purchase. Its basically you having the advertiser cry about how they cant bill people monthly. When specifically it says "cancel at anytime" so i don't see where you draw up conclusions.

Second maxbounty account? I only have one account there. Check your sources bro since my girlfriend lives with me she was in maxbounty as well your team even called to confirm two different people. Nice job drawing conclusions without actually knowing whats going on. Its a typical network that doesn't know its affiliates obviously as shown.

The funny thing is your watching this thread waiting for a reply cause you know your information is based on a conclusion no hard evidence. Dont try to pull shit like that on me. It doesnt matter if your affiliate manager with maxbounty, doesn't mean your information is reputable of course you can say anything to defend your company.

Not to mention you singled out two people out of many in this thread who have had a problem with your network.

Basically my account was terminated because the rebill was low. The rest of the information you posted wasn't relevant to anything, because your talking about proxies and how people can change there IP, just makes your post look longer and makes me look like i did more. You also never sent me a email informing any of this, which is also shady to your evidence.

Agent000- If anyone is a low life, its you for hovering around in this thread when it doesn't involve you. Your just starting up classic drama. Im not a new member i didn't "come to DP to complain".

Sean- Nobody is complaining on DP. I been out of this network for almost 9 months. Not to mention, why is my account still there and this guy can pull it up? Just goes to show the company wasnt sure if there conclusion was right so they left it there to debate it. Me and the OP are warning people of what possible service they may get. Consider this a helpful topic.

"I vowed I wasn't going to post here anymore at DigitalPoint because of the needless ban I received, but I couldn't take anymore of the BS spewed by the OP."

Why were you banned? most managers who post there network are banned only when theirs a problem. I would like to know? Since im being called out why not share the love. If your saying the OP is spewing BS how is that handling the situation professionally?

The OP made this thread to share his story. I shared mine as well. If you need a AM to come into this thread or have people come in and start drama thats fine. I was in the network 9 months ago, it might have changed since then. Im not going to have people sit here and call me a scammer and all of this when i been doing this for 4 years. Not to mention with all the networks that come here and post there offers. So then they read this and say "oh i wont except wildcat" cause of this? Seriously to be honest, its really offending and i find that a lot of people here who posted in this thread could get infractions just for insulting and being rude because they have a different experience. I myself had a experience too so im sharing it as well. If that offends people then so be it, keep your comments to yourself unless your adding value to the thread.

 

Did you not see "Leads coming from proxies or from within single IP blocks."? LOL! You didn't know Maxbounty can tell what IP addresses leads are coming from?

I'm adding value to this thread...

 

Wildcat - I don't believe you. I think you are not being honest. People like you ruin for the legitimate affiliate markers by running the ripoffs.

 

Ive never has a issue with them.
