Ah...I didn't know that (she says having everything in GA :P ).

Don't leave us hanging!!! :zoinks:

and just when you think your personal info is safe when you signup with a sponsor.

Especially when you consider our tax info is with the sponsors also. :angry:

That's the really scary part I soo agree

Peaches, she said they only place she ever used that name was CE.

Interestingly with the boards buziing with names of CE, Python and Matrix all going around, my name is on each of those, and I still haven't gotten my letter!!

... I feel so all alone now. :boohoo:

Hmmm - well, I haven't had an account with CE in 4-5 years. It will be interesting to see if I have a packet waiting for me next week. If I do, I'll be sure and send it to ya so you don't feel so left out. :)

REmemebr the e-mail you sent ]m ethat you would NEVER sit on my face?>??

I am reporting you as we speak and make sure you are named as a Chief Conspirator!

hehe Thanks, Serge. Now I feel loved! :inlove:

I invited yahooligans to sit on my face too!

Dravyk, you gonna have lots of competition!

50! ACACIA notices!

;-)))))

:headwall: :headwall: :headwall: :headwall:

I knew if you spent that much time over there it would start rubbing off on you.......



No more GFY for you young man!!!!!!







:yowsa:

Some of these cockholsters would sell out their own mama for the price of happy meal. So these developments are far from surprising.

I do wonder what their criteria is though. No reason to believe that they wouldn't have access not only to the addresses but probably exactly how much each affiliate has made, so it would become real easy to cherry pick the guys who have the most revenue.

I never signed up for any CE programs and so far I haven't got any ACACIA notices :D

If they got to me, they have their cherry picker set pretty low to the ground.

All I know is that we have not settled and if anyone claims that they were tagged as an affiliate of Homegrown Cash then I would be very interested in hearing about it...

I answered your message, Serge

:P

I keep seeing folks say they can identify who it was by the name the packet came to. Which confuses me. Am I the only person in the world who puts accurate information into sponsor sign-up forms? It never even occurred to me to use different names or different addresses and such, because I wanted to make sure the checks would get to me and I'd be able to cash them!
About the only thing I "fudge" with sponsors is my phone number, because I *hate* getting phone calls.

Sarretah,
it was an alcohol which got the best of me, I'm sorry
;_)))

Carrie,

Speaking for myself as all checks go to corp it doesn't matter what name
is put on there for contact person... I would imagine many folks are in
same boat I'm in regarding EIN vs SSN, corp vs non-corp status...
Hence the ability to use different (trackable) monikers on affiliate
proggies... hope that helps... :^)

It does, Mark. I was just thinking about the name on the check.

Just getting my sig in.

Oh fuck. Posted in the wrong place!!

And damn.. i dont have a commerical sig either. Bollocks.

What would those who settled with Acacia do if Acacia said something like this?

"Your affiliates are protected now, because you signed up. So we need them listed to make sure we do not pursue them."

Acacia then have a list of webmasters and the knowledge that few of them work for one sponsor.

What we need is people who got the package to an address only know by sponsors to list those sponsors. It will not take a genius to see which names pop up consistently against who has settled. We may even find a few who have settled and kept quiet about it.

From what I've read, many people put a code at the end of the name of their company (ditto with emails) which allows them to track which companies are selling their info, spamming them, etc.

For instance, my company's name is Online Beach, Inc. Under this theory, I would sign up as Online Beach, Inc. 001 with Maxcash, Online Beach, Inc. 002 with CE, etc.

In hindsight, I wish I had been smart enough to do it. :(

Ah, I am loved afterall. Got my Acacia letter today! Woohoo! (Couldn't let PD upstage me.)

Interestingly it a) is not the way I'm signed up at ANY sponsor b) it would be where I was signed up at a content provider -- like Matrix Content c) they can still kiss my scrawny white ass ... while I lay a big smelly wet one in their faces.

Hmm, better yet, I think I'll do the same thing Brad did with Even's C&Ds. Hey, PornoDoggy, can I borrow your dog for about three minutes? :P

Before you let PD's doggy get to it, fax a copy of it over to the IMPA folks.

That makes you, PD, and me... just a matter of time before we can form an All Of 'Em anti-acacia organization and start taking donations! :cdance:

that is actually a pretty good idea, if you can afford to fund the suit . . . . I doubt you will find an attorney to take it on a contingency basis . . . . unless you found someone that recently passed the bar and was looking to make a name for them self.

I was thinking that too .. out of the 52 licenses they say they have issued, they referenced 6 companies by name in my letter .. and I've done work directly for 4 of them ...[/b][/quote]
it is a form letter, same six companies named in each, don't read unneccesary meaning into it

That's my thoughts. They're just sending out letters not even checking sites to see what is really going on or what type of site it is.

Are they hoping that with every letter they send out some moron will just right off the bat agree to send them cash?[/b][/quote]
I think it is more like the spammers that say "click here to be moved from our list" when in fact they are only attempting to verify the accuracy of the address.

JMHO, of course

Carrie, yep. :)

Not only that, it also reminds me even more of the "Carder Scam Spam" ... Give us your credit card number and info, otherwise we'll put this $300 charge go through.

Maybe Acacia should start giving out prizes like Reader's Digest and American Publishing do! :P
