Nope, I like to keep my money and be paid out by networks who live up to their words.

Then why do you even care? Not enough drama in your life?
OP: get your money back+more by suing copeac for defamation.
They obviously were given no proof, and hypothetical assumptions about the iframe does not give them the right to call you a shady marketer and hurt your reputation with other affiliate companies.
I think this is where networks drop the ball big time. I dont have a solution for this but...
What stops me from making up a bogus offer, signing up to Copeac as an advertiser, maybe prepay 5-10k and then having their affiliates running it nonstop to the tune of $50k and then saying.. sorry Mike the leads didnt back out for us so we are not paying and just walk away? This is the ultimate ROI for someone for sure with getting almost free traffic.
To me that just fucking sounds shady as fuck. There may be more to it, but no one has bothered to say so. If there is no checks and balances, then I can totally see why fraud is so out of control with affiliate marketing.

Exactly, thank you.
I'm done with this thread too. Just be careful who you work with and have proof of everything.
No, OP was banned and I have been discussing on his behalf. He certainly has NOT been paid cuz Mike thinks he's a scammer
M. Krongel has been very vocal about criticizing me (while asking for our business at the same time, go figure.) That being said, I have to support him in this 100%. As an affiliate network he has every right to refuse payment based on fraud, or suspected fraud. Most networks actually have in there contracts that they are no more than brokers, and will not pay if they are not paid.
Krongel is 100% correct in what he says, period. While we often pay out publishers when we aren't paid to save relationships, I understand that some networks can not afford this financially, and I will support their decision to do so.
That being said, I think its really stupid for ANYONE to discuss their legal issues over a message board. People need to learn to STFU!

I've been hearing such bad stuff about copeac these days... it's really a shame. Bad choices in floating.

nice. PWNT
just to clear things up ... often != always
aff.com can't take the high ground in this argument. I've watched it happen to a multi-million dollar affiliate 1st hand.
If COPEAC isn't paid, I'd ask them the info of the advertiser and sue them with COPEAC's permission. Obviously if the guy went out of business, there is an issue.
Wouldn't that bring more scrutiny to methods of promotion, be it blog or article presells? Pretty much connect us to what our websites are online? Curious to know if the legal path is available without other negative repercussions in an unrelated case where I was scammed for a bit over $30,000. Haven't gone public about it here.
