Fraud Alert

DocWright · 06-23-2006, 01:24 PM

I have discovered a fraudster that makes money by joining click-exchanges and rips of Google advertisers. He joins ClickMogul and My Publisher Earnings and exchanges ad clicks with other scammers. He buys junk traffic to cover up the high click ratios. He has already been banned from Yahoo! Publisher, and now has moved on to Google Adsense.

He runs many web sites such as MyAutoMoney.com, IdentityMarketingGroup.com, TheJewishGourmet.com, JGSDesignWorks.com and the latest scam, ClickAllDay.com. The first sites are registered to a Jason Solomons, but I can't find out who runs ClickAllDay.com as it is private. I suspect Jason Solomons or a partner in crime named Brad.

Here is why I think that it is someone called Brad.
Compare the two links below.

explains how the scam is run. These guys are teaching other people how to do this and need to be stopped.

This scam caught my eye as my Publisher account cost was going through the roof without any results. I did some looking around and found their sites.

I reported them to Google, but so far no action. Any suggestions?

I'd suggest that the next time you discover a scam, you don't try to reward them by publishing
a couple of referral links and advertising their site.

I would hope that by directing law abiding publishers to the scam, it would cause more people to complain to Google.
It was not intended to reward them in any way.

All the same, it does count as advertising, whether you like it or not. Still, maybe you could try putting them in the

Code:

and

tags to stop them from automatically turning into links.
