Many affiliates have been complaining that they have been receiving emails from Bogdan telling them he saw their details after they ran a certain dating offer.I got that email too.

I remember also that Bogdan had complained saying Ryan Eagle of EWA had hacked his email address......infact the evidence i have,the reverse might be true.

Here a scenerio.......i am an EWA affiliate,i referred someone there who used a new email address to register there.She got approved.And that's the only network she uses that email.She does not run dating traffic yet Bogdan claimed she saw her email on a dating campaign.


PKM uses linktrust software....the same Software that EWA uses.Most if not all the affiliates who have received that invitation email are from EWA.....is there a possibility that PKM has hacked EWA Linktrust software to obtain affiliate details and email addresses?

interesting find lets see what industry insiders have got to say about this.

Maybe some people should not be exploiting this as network owners if they do have access to the data by mistake.

Most time the data gets breached or even sold from affiliate networks with or without it coming to the notice of the network owners.I do get invitations to join affiliate networks all the time !

Truthfully? I've reviewed the chat logs between Bogdan M. and OP - Let me tell you there is nothing about Ryan Eagle mentioned in the email exchanges. Our affiliate managers recruit affiliates all the time and we find most of them running campaigns on traffic sources like TrafficVance, Facebook Ads, PlentyofFish, and several other ad networks. We know to email you through the tracking link used in your ads. We do not buy lists and Linktrust has not been breached. Our lifeline is publishers, and the fact is we have been long-time affiliates before starting PKM - we totally understand where, and how to run offers. This is why you've been contacted. I take my reputation very seriously.

Affiliates are outraged at what is going on. It is quite clear that this network does not respect affiliate privacy whatsoever. I don't know exactly how he "obtained his data" - but it's quite clear nobody appreciates getting spammed by a network.

Google their network name, google Yousif Yalda. Make an educated decision. Spare yourself the time of being yet another affiliate to report malicious activities of their organization. I don't personally give change to every panhandler on the street.

The question is quite simple: would you trust your money with a network that does such activities?

Every network is hackable, depends on what you think is hackable. I caught someone stealing data from every DirectTrack Network and trying to sell it-- 600,000+ records.

I've come to a conclusion about Ryan, either:

1. He's completely nuts...or
2. He has big brass balls..or
3. He has a kick ass attorney..or
4. All of the above.
