I have been looking for a website for other merchants that should be aware about affiliate fraud. We have been online taking orders for 3 years now with a great website, livemercial, and have never had any problems with them at all. They are a reputable company. We recently have tried a different company for 3 months now to make a new website, and have been getting fake orders, first declined; now real CC orders, and I shipped the orders to the actual cardholder. Now I am getting chargeback’s everyday from the actual cardholders, name address, cc number all correct, except email is wrong. They tell me they never ordered from us. After dealing with detectives from various states in the US, and talking to the company who made my website, they tell me they use asseenonpc.com for affiliates and the credit card fraud detectives need to talk to them. I have also tried to contact them by phone and email at www.asseenonpc.com for 2 months and no one will call or email me back. Does anyone know about these affiliates? Why would they not call or email back even after I have an order I charged for a Curtis Clarke with the email curtis@asseenonpc.com, who is employed with them and ordered one 2 months ago.

Anyone with problems like this, please contact me. I am a small business owner and this may make me go out of business.
Thanks

Hi, I’m an Account Manager for TradeDoubler and we’ve been putting up a good fight against any affiliates on our network caught using Zango to force clicks. I’m part of a small group of people who have Zango installed on their PCs and monitor Zango presence among affiliates.

Is there any way you can help in terms of advice etc. to enable us to stamp out these guys quicker? Any comments, advice, suggestions or links to other websites would be great.

Thanks for your help,

Manas

[…] Holy shit Batman, Zango’s Public Relations department openly admitting they provide their advertiser’s with Merchant’s shopping cart URLs for targeting. I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry or be happy they are being more honest about how they operate their business. I wonder if Zango provided the shopping cart list to these guys? Thank-you Zango for providing people even more assistance to poach Merchant’s shopping carts. All is well in the world of online advertising. […]

Kellie,

I would suggest you contact me privately in relation to this as you have us listed above under Known Network Partnerships.

I would like to know who this alleged affiliate is and also have our name removed of your website immediately.

You have my email address.

Kind Regards,
Peter Brighton

Hi Peter,

Kudos on the stance against Zango and not supporting adware affilates! And I don’t see CommissionMonster showing up frequently in my testing. But this isn’t Zango themselves, rather it is an affiliate buying advertising through Zango. Any affiliate can buy CPV ads with Zango and have them displayed through the Zango software.
