Hey...

Just wanted everyone to know that according to Yousif Yalda, from ProfitKingsMedia aka PKM, he's made it very clear that he's going to be hacking WickedFire. Including gaining admin access, by brute force/sql injection.

He's also threatening to have me murdered, execution style, where apparently I will be kidnapped at an affiliate conference, taken to a different location, and killed there, and all sorts of gory and graphic details ensue.

All this, because apparently I've gone and outted him and his schemes to scam networks, advertisers, and other affiliates.

So.. At the advice of my personal security guys, I'm going to take this seriously (like I do with all death threats and threats of hacking WickedFire), and they're reporting it to the FBI for further assistance.

In any event, if you'd like to possibly reach out to Yousif, you may reach him on his cell phone at: (847) 562-6519

Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Hey!! Guess who made this fine list in a previous industry before coming into ours???
http://attrition.org/errata/charlatan/watch_list/yousif_yalda/
What?? He was dubbed as a charlatan back then too? Naw.... Not for computer security.. Not Yousif Yalda the honest man that claims everything he's said over Skype was not done by him, and instead is someone trying to make him look bad... Oh wait, that's a pretty common excuse he uses. Or is this just a silly coincidence?

Oh yeah... and by the way... if you're a network, and you're still working with this scumbag, you're very likely to get a shitload of negative attention. Because I will absolutely out your inner workings, just as a present to you for helping this stupid fuck make money.

I'll certainly update this list as the following networks decide its not worth harboring him and using their not so clever tricks of swapping his account IDs and not just banning him.

They include: (will add new ones as we track Yousif Yalda's financial demise in our industry)

UPDATE: Currently all networks that were originally on this list have vowed to never do business with Yousif Yalda or his associated companies like ProfitKingsMedia PKM or any others.

NETWORKS THAT HAVE VOWED TO BAN/REMOVE/REFUSE BUSINESS FROM/WITH YOUSIF YALDA PROFITKINGSMEDIA PKM

The networks that have pledged to no longer do business with Yousif Yalda and/or ProfitKingsMedia aka PKM include:
(I commend all of these networks for working with us. Good job guys. I mean it.)

EWA
Convert2Media/C2M
Clickbooth
CPA Tank

If your name and your network is listed here, do not email me or call me about this. You know exactly which subids and accounts belong to him. But instead, I want you to chime in on this thread and pledge to everyone here, including me, that you swear that you have done everything you can, and deleted Yousif Yalda's accounts on your network.

....so that if and when I find out that you have lied... THEN everyone will know full well that your network belongs at the bottom of the barrel or on a blacklist.

That's not asking too much.

Update: 2:10am EST = Yousif is claiming to be DDOS'ing Wickedfire in retaliation to this post. He's demanding I remove it, otherwise he's going to be killing a lot of people. So, I guess, hide?

Update: 2:01pm EST = Yousif Yalda is trying to bring Pace into this. By claiming he's going to be selling Pace our database that he allegedly has stolen, since he hacked WickedFire last night with a pencil eraser (his words, not mine). As much as I may dislike Pace, I can assure you he has nothing to do with this issue. So leave Pace out of this thread please.

Jon, I will let your dog rape me while you're at an affiliate conference. YOU WERE WARNED.

On a serious note we're all chismosos so you should post the threat.
 
What do you think more affiliates need to understand about the network side of things?

Loyalty brings forth royalty. Too many affiliates run all over the place to about 10 different networks. I suggest building a relationship w/ about 3-5 networks and get some history going so you can establish trust together. Don’t run network to network just for a better payout, because at times when payment problems arise (advertisers charging back on legit traffic) you are better protected if you have some strong activity in your account and by keeping communication open w/ the network you work with. In this case, I would cover the affiliate 100% and take the hit. Reputation is everything in this business and you need to make things right.

Interview: Yousif Yalda (Profit Kings Media)
 
Jon, I don't know you personally, but good on you for taking this very seriously. You need to protect yourself and your family at all costs.

In this day in age you never know what some psycho could do. I just saw a news story about some guy who got stabbed and almost got shot over a argument he had with someone over Xbox Live. If this Yousif guy attends the same conferences as you hopefully you can notify the local police before you land.

Also, Yousif, if you are reading this, please stop your DDOS attack. I was trying to browse WickedFire for the past 2 hours looking for a thread I had bookmarked. I don't care if you are pissed off, let the rest of us continue our hustle to stack paper.
 
Putting good networks reputations on the line so you can flex your e-muscles in your personal beef with yousif. Stay classy.

Seeing as how they have consistently allowed Yousif to flourish. and calling them out, by name, because they have wronged, and asking them to commit to not doing it again, without chatting with them about it...

Yes. I'd say that's justified.

I don't want to know details. They may or may not actually know. It could be an affiliate manager helping him out.

But by having the owners of the companies, come here, become aware of what is going on and who he is, and having them pledge as acknowledgement to have him removed while they are on watch, without getting all complex about it.... Yes. Again, totally justified. I'll take their word for it.

...and why bring them into this? Because they are a financial/revenue source for him. And they need to stop. There are other, far more detailed threads on here, by other members, discussing how Yousif Yalda and his ProfitKingsMedia PKM operation has frauded or screwed them over time and time again.

So since he hasn't gotten the message yet... perhaps he will this time. Finally.
 
Jon don't treat this forum like a leverage to settle disputes, i doubt you posted this to "inform the public", if that was the case half of the BST dickheads would be banned and outed too.

Every time I see a thread like this, I am less inclined to use this forum. You have personal beef with the guy, sort it out or out them in a professional way backing up accusations with proof.
 
I started sending him business just recently... I suppose I'll look elsewhere. Fuck em tho, I'm sure he's powerless? Make it a sticky so no one uses him forever, instead of this thread just going off into the distance?

He threatened to kill me.
Then and even right this moment, is threatening to hack this forum.

...and your response is... to.... let it go and just consult with my lawyer instead right? And not stand up and defend the forum or myself on here? Because that would be a conflict of interest? Is that the logic?

How would you recommend I deal with this professionally then?

And not alert people to those financing his operations? I mean, this way they can go about ridding their networks from this scammer, and publicly everyone can take notice too. I'd say that helps everyone, except of course for Yousif Yalda.

Anyway... I would hate for you to be offended for any longer here, so let me just speed up your decision making process about whether or not to use this forum again, and go ahead and just ban you. You're welcome! See... customer service here IS getting better after all! Win.

Nah, it will rank on here for a long time. And I hope the network owners do respond quickly too. I just want their promise so they are aware of him and that's all really. Then I'll remove their name/network from the list.

I'm not against them. I'm just against them not doing anything until right now, to stop financing his fraud/scam spree.

Plus what better way to cut off his financing for a hit squad than to see to it that his affiliate network operations grind to a halt?
