Definitely not talking shit about affiliate marketing. There is a reason that facebook has removed these grant ads. It's because people are probably complaining that they were scammed. If more people were responsible affiliates then they wouldn't have to worry about getting their ads banned. Just trying to make a point.

I'll go fuck myself now :)

You might as well ban all the ads for McDonald's and Phillip Morris while you are at it.

I personally sat on my facebook account and voted down at least 100 grant ads. I was getting really sick of the same stupid assholes with a check in front of their face showing up on my home page. Why can't people promote things that aren't a complete scam?

How is someone paying $70 or whatever it is "ruining their lives" ? I'd really like to know because I certainly have a different concept of what a ruined life looks like.

The $70 one off isn't so much an issue... but it's not just that $70. It's $70 every month until they manage to cancel, which is made as purposefully difficult as possible, so that a lot of people just end up having to cancel their credit cards, which damages what is most likely already poor credit rating, because they sure as hell wouldn't be looking at that crap if they had money or any sense of fiduciary propriety.

Does that explain my position better?

I didn't miss it. I didn't get on it at all.
I'm not comfortable marketing rebill or products that can kill people (with the exception of a really morbid joke side project I'm thinking of starting, which is literally about buying products to kill yourself).
 
Facebook get rich quick scam busted

Facebook says it has removed ads for a get rich quick scam that appeared for weeks on the social networking site before it discovered the ruse following reports from defrauded users.

But some users have reported that, despite Facebook's assurances, some of the ads remain on the site and are being re-published at a rate faster than the site can review and remove them.
The ads - complete with bogus testimonials - purported to make Facebook users rich if they simply signed up to post links under a "Google advertising" program.

Clicking on the link in the ads took people to another page, run by a company dubbed "EMillionaire", which invites users to submit their details to see if they are eligible to take part in the program.

The details included credit or debit card information as those interested in the scheme would have to pay $US1.90 to take part.

But the entire venture is a scam with no ties to Google, designed to trick people into handing over their banking details.

Two affected users who published warnings on the RipOffReport.com website said they were immediately charged $US197 by a company called "Marquilife". Calls to the company requesting a refund proved fruitless.

The ordeal has called into question Facebook's ad vetting systems, which should have discovered the scam before the ads were accepted.

In a statement, Facebook said it encouraged users to report any advertisements they find offensive or misleading. All reports were followed up by a dedicated team.

"In this case, users informed us about misleading offers in many ads with promotions related to working at home," Facebook said.

"We have removed ads with these types of misleading offers as they were brought to our attention."

Where did you pull this from? link?
 
"instantly charged $197"

AKA I forgot to cancel after 2 weeks and was billed exactly what was in the fine print...but since I dont want to look stupid i will say I was charged instantly even though i really just forgot to cancel
 
300k/month ?

Yes, I would. Especially if I was running a website that hasn't been profitable for its entire existence. Maybe they should take a hint and allow advertisers to advertise.

First off, the grant offers and acai offers really aren't scams. Its a rebill. Simple as that. If your too fucking stupid to read the fine print, then its your own fault.

Facebook users are getting a free service, and the FB company has been losing money for years now. These types of offers are advertised everywhere. Facebook wouldn't be alone in allowing them.
 
These offers are borderline legal scam. There are a lot of big companies out there use this rebill method eg. buy.com and rewards.com.

These offers are dirty as hell because it is making money out of the non-informed and offer nothing in return. We are living in a capitalist society so greed > moral.
