Hacker is Protected - Affiliate Spam Affblue

[AussieDave]

Hi all,

Really bites me this scum bag hacker is protected by privacy policies. Yet programs and affiliate managers have NO scruples in sharing/trading/selling our information and contact details!

Just got a spam from affblu.com

New aff program. So how the hell did they get my details and email?

Casinoblu footer:
Casino Blu, un membro di Conan Gaming Limited C-50471.

seems like new sister casino to Cosmik, etc...

 

[AussieDave]

The owner part/owner of these casinos is ex Fortune Lounge. Ironically FL is protecting the criminal hacker!

 

[Vladi]

Conan / Gamescale is in bed with the hackers as Cosmik Casino has been #1 on the verified casinos page along with a banner for a while now.

So its no surprise they are spamming.

I'm a new affiliate and our website is barely ready yet. However just received an email from Lewis at Casinoblu claiming to have worked with me previously, wanting to offer me a superb deal. Obviously a lie. Wonder how they got my email?

The email:

Sorry to write to you with no intro,

I used to manage your account at another brand and would love to close a deal with you for casinoblu.com.

CasinoBlu is the largest gamescale casino,

I can pre pay, offer highest industry CPA's and work on any deal that suits you as you are an established affiliate,

We convert at 40% from sign up to FD as standard,

Our strongest markets are France, Italy, Germany and all english speaking countries (apart from US)

Please be in touch by email.



Thank you in advance,
Lewis

I got the same email. I don't know this Lewis guy; and I've never heard of gamescale, either.

I investigated this case, and a little detail speaks volumes and is no accident.

Look into the header of email:

"Received: by nitrogen-oneize.cccampaigns.com [...} (envelope-from <affiliates@email.affblu.com>)"

That says it all!

Now be one more participant of Leopold's exciting surprise events!

The sender of the spam is ...

affblu.com

Hello Moonlight Cat,

it's proven, that they at least cooperate behind the scenes, and yes, it looks like, they are one network in reality. They have taken all of us for an idiot over years. The problem in this industry is the lack of transparency. The strawmen behind the programs and casinos are almost unknown. What we see is only the 2nd line of hierarchy.

Seems to be a high concentration of crooks, operating aff programs and casinos in Tel Aviv.
I avoid these places like the plague now.

I don't care who the program manager is, I wont touch any place located here. Because I simply don't trust any program based there.

All accept Affiliate Cruise... Every other program based in Tel Aviv has been busted lying, cheating and screwing their affiliate partners!!!

My inboxes (spam folders) have been flooded with their emails for the past weeks. I can only imagine what a shoddy place this must be for any customer.

My work email has been hit hard by spam recently.. Like, its almost unusable. Affiliate and unrelated emails, its out of control.. I don't know if anyone else is having a problem with it, seems someone sold my info to everyone and I only use that email for aff program purposes.
