Am I the only who was shocked about Max bounty

14 years ago

Either that's a complete scam or MB have really gone down hill. Both are possibilities.

NO..you never have to buy the product 1st. Althoughb in CPA marketing anything goes! (bottom of the sh**) barrel.

It sounds like this could be a scam to me. You should never have to buy anything with Max Bounty. Definitely check into this and do not hand this woman a cent of your hard earned money.

  I like MaxBounty. I've never had to buy anything, or even been approached about buying anything.
  
  The phone call part is pretty normal though. They want to do a minimum amount of screening before opening an account for someone.
  
  I can't say what happened in your case, but MaxBounty as a CPA marketing firm has been good to me. No problems at all.
  
  That being said, there are many other good ones too...
  
  Best of luck
  
  Thanks

This sounds pretty fishy. Perhaps the MaxBounty rep will be along to address this. I know he floats around here sometimes.

MaxBounty is my primary source of income and they gave me my chance when my traffic was lower than it should have been. Without them I would not be where I am today. You must have signed up at a phishing site or be mistaken because they are a solid organization and I would vouch for them any day.

I think you've got it wrong. Maybe you try calling or emailing them. I've never heard of such thing. Even pure affiliate programs don't require buying before promoting. And to cap it MaxBounty is one of those site I first heard of in 2009. No bad news about them to my knowledge

Hello accendo,

I believe you may have misunderstood the affiliate manager. She probably said you were approved to run the offer, but the *surfer* would have to buy the product that you advertise before you get credited in your MaxBounty account.

I can confirm this if you simply let me know what the offer was.

Thank you.

I think that someone tried to scam you OP.

My best guess is that the "affiliate link" you joined MB was a MB-looking page that got your contact email and told all this to sell their own products.

I signed up for MB some time ago and all i can say is "they are great". They are always helpfull and kind whatever my question might be!

No I think the OP just didn't understand what their affiliate manager told them like Mae Rose said. The affiliate said that someone has to buy the product through their link for them to get a commission. But the OP took that has HE had to buy it to get his commissions.

Just a communication mess up. It would be tough to do a phishing scam like I thought originally too as they don't know if he's with MB or not.

Hi NXmarketeer. Thanks for the shoutout!

It wasn't someone trying to scam the OP, but just a misunderstanding. The campaign the OP was interested in requires the surfer to make a purchase in order for the affiliate to be paid the CPA.

Sorry Buddy, but there is NO WAY IN HELL that it was Max Bounty

Max Bounty is one of the most solid and reputable affiliate networks you will ever have the priviledge of working with... they have never required anybody to buy a product before being acceptepted into their network and they never will,

You are either completely mistaken or you are out right lying!!!

Max Bounty's reputation has propelled them to the top of their industry and I'm proud to be one of their affiliates!
