Just so everyone knows, the “fraud friday’s” comment in the previous post was a complete joke. I was not serious at all regarding outing fraud but I’ve given it a lot of thought over the last week. I’ve gone ahead and decided to go forth a liitle bit with such a project. Regarding the hate mail that has been coming in, you will now receive the first warning that I will be publishing your emails going forward.
Moving along…
Some have decided to take a few quips at me about my blackhat past as if they were going to expose something that was a secret. I dont have secrets, I openly will tell you whatever you ask. I would like to one up everyone that sent these lovely messages and let you know of where I have openly admitted to being an ex-hat blackhat. There are many versions of blackhat, what’s accepted and what’s not. I wont go into that. Just know I’ve done the gray, I’ve done the black, and I have done the super duper ultra black. It’s been by far one of our best tools in combating this stuff. Know that your hate is expected and accepted. You should also know that I have a ton of experience in dealing with fraud, incentive and all the other bullshit people to try and get away with. I think that will become REALLY apparent as we move forward.
On the flip side, since I have not disclosed any of the hate, I wont disclose any of the praise either. We have had quite a few networks, publishers, advertisers and other managers in the industry send us some pretty cool mail regarding the last post. I guess since fraud and bullshit isn’t talked about much that the post generated a bit of a buzz. What’s better than getting the information out of some who have been able to get these people responsible for a ton of the network fraud to give us their inside tips?
With that said, here is a list that was turned into us this past week. For all the networks who actually sent me mail about being pissy for how much it costs for a network approved account with you, please know that I am just a relayer of information. If you think you should be number #1, please take that up with the fraudsters, umm k.
This is raw info. It comes as it is. A huge list of networks targeted and some rates for approvals from one WHITEHAT guy that gets fraud accounts approved. Please know that these publishers are probably some of your best whitehat pubs. We should know, it’s happened to us. For extra cash, they sign up frauders. Lame.
DISCLAIMER: I am not going to teach your network how to detect this shit. I dont have the time and quite frankly it just sucks up my time. I also do not have any clue why your network is listed with this price. Some are $50, some are $5. Who gives a shit. The important thing is that if you are on this list, it’s GUARANTEED that they are coming into your network. Last by not least, I type this up for fun and because it is crap that we have deal with daily. If you dont like it, feel free to stop frauding at any time. Information has been copied/pasted as it came to us. One more thing. This is just one list, there are PLENTY more circulating. Enjoy.

Ruck, I will get the video converted and see what of it we can use from the 1 hour phone call I have with the tipster.
Fraud Friday part duex!

Ruck drops another atomic bomb on the industry
April 3rd, 2009 @2:04 pm
An atomic bomb on the industry?
Yeah, right…
I say, get over yourself.
P.S. I’m sure this post won’t even make the board.
April 3rd, 2009 @3:21 pm
You’ve thrown down the gauntlet. I have heard it all before - all of the networks say they really work hard on getting fraudulent pubs kicked out or not allowed in. However, in the short term the complicit networks rake $$$ on fraud, claim ignorance, turn and burn one advertiser after another and so on and so on. The ultimate loser is the advertiser and the consumer. The scamming publisher rakes on the short term, the networks are really at the center of it all. From your expose’ it appears the this is really an industry wide issue - whether people like it or not. I’m going direct and dealing with pubs - the “we don’t allow fraud (wink wink)” networks are not thinking long term. To maintain a viable business model you cannot let fraud in or advertisers will get wind of the deal and move on. In reading through the list I know personally there are networks listed that care about the advertisers, and many that could care less.
This is a very complex issue and it is not going to go away quietly.
April 3rd, 2009 @4:02 pm
@ anonymous - From the looks of your comment, I can tell you are either a poser, or truly someone that doesn’t have a clue. If you werent or had then you would understand exactly what ppc.bz is and what he meant. Either way, it’s apparent you have zero balls.
How’s the weather in St. Petersburg dipshit?
April 3rd, 2009 @6:40 pm
LMAO. Classic post (and comeback in the comments).
I know I busted your balls a little bit on my blog for lowering the affiliate payouts, but that’s just the way I am.
Ballsy post here, though. I like.
April 3rd, 2009 @8:04 pm
good stuff man. i luv it. glad to see that you are still being that crazy catfish catchin sob from KS. its good to be back and dont worry, I got your back homie.
April 4th, 2009 @8:42 pm
What no ROIShare? wtf.
April 5th, 2009 @9:21 am
It’s big Bomb.But I can’t find convert2media in the list.Are you also making a show with this topic to promote your network.
April 5th, 2009 @10:45 am
I must say, your network is the first to bust me. Steve is at the top of the game. I knew better than to call Ruck. From this point on we aren’t doing any approvals at c2m. I have got other accounts approved, but it gets harder and harder everyday. Of course I am only one of several people doing these approvals.
April 5th, 2009 @4:03 pm
We are not in this list neither is Copeac from what I take it. This is just one list turned into us from MANY people hired to get network approvals. No idea why a network is listed, and why one is not.
A show about fraud to promote our network? No plans on such a thing unless people let us know they will buy tickets.
@ Anon - spoken from a true source everyone. I have no idea who commented that or why but I do appreciate the help you have given us so far and know that we will never disclose any of your details. Ever.
April 5th, 2009 @5:36 pm
I don’t know exactly the point of this list, but I go through an extensive process to detect fraud and deny users in my network. I only approve people based on personal referral.
I also have a history of blackhat, and every form of it like you said. But I’ve since dropped that, and when owning a network quality needs to be of utmost importance. If you start sending bad leads - you lose advertisers and relationships.
I was surprised to see my private network even in this list, maybe that explains the influx of obnoxious scammers trying to get in. Just my 2c.
April 5th, 2009 @7:21 pm
I agree with Beernuts, ROIShare should be on this list, even if it is postmortem!
April 6th, 2009 @6:28 am
@ Ryan Eagle if you want some tips on how to keep the fraud applications from entering your network give me a shout sometime. I would be glad to help ya out. I am pretty good at keeping the scumbags out. Hit me up on AIM or my cell.
April 8th, 2009 @6:40 pm
Nice catch.. I bet it’s not a huge problem for networks with less than 500 pubs but it is definitely helpful information for some networks. Always good info Ruck, good read.
April 23rd, 2009 @12:50 pm
This is really interesting. I had a feeling this was happening as I’ve seen an influx of fraudulent publishers applying so we’ve been tightening down our approval process. Thanks for letting everyone know.
May 3rd, 2009 @9:00 am
Looks there are a ton of Chinese. First time see this shit stuff. Nice catch
October 16th, 2009 @6:33 pm
these creapers are affecting online marketing and are damn fuckers i just want to say .,,’,, fuck them and kick there ass c2m
