Digital Point Owners Indicted – Out on 100k Bail



Would it be wrong to send him an email with a dickroll link now that he is facing 20 years of anal?
Though I sort of do admire his balls. I would not be able to sleep at night after scamming 20 mil in fake commissions. I mean wtf -where did this traffic come from ? That question would play over and over in my mind. Because it sure as shit didn't come from DP.
 
Between 2006 and June 2007, Shawn Hogan (Digital Point Solutions) earned approximately $15.5 million in commissions from eBay. Hogan was eBay’s number one affiliate.

Between 2006 and June 2007, Dunning (Kessler’s Flying Circus) earned approximately $5.3 million in commissions from eBay. Dunning was eBay’s number two affiliate.

WHOA! whoawhoawhoa

eBay seriously paid them that much money without even checking into it and being sure everything was legit? HOLY....................................
 
This is serious $hit here. This will have grave implications for many of the black hatters out there and also forum owners who are using members data, such as their email and IP to essentially steal affiliate commissions.

How easy would it be for a forum owner to stuff code on their sites and then hijack someones browser? EASY!

In order to steal over $15 million from ebay using the alleged methods Hogan used, you would have to have access to a A LOT of traffic. What better platform then a webmaster forum like DigitalPoint with newbies up his a$$?

I am sure he may have used other methods, but my educated guess is that the DP was his preying grounds. It may still be.

To be quite honest with you all, I hate thieves, liars, frauds and scammers. Especially webmasters who claim they are experts, gurus or stars, when in fact they are nothing but thieves that scam from the very people that trust and rely on them for help or information. It is akin to getting raped by your school teacher or priest. These people need to be rooted out from the internet and sent to prison. I am going to go after these scum bags daily and expose their scams. So, if you are a black hatter who is using your skill to steal, you will be exposed or caught eventually.

The facts are that many of the so called gurus and million dollar affiliates use these same tactics. They have no real online marketing skills because it is all chicanery, theft and deception.

I wrote an article about this yesterday that goes more in depth than Mr. Cakes post.

FBI Charges Digital Point Forum Founder, Shawn Hogan With Fraud | Internet Scams, Online scams, Rip Off

Is he hacking and stealing from his own Digital Point members?

It is unknown at this time if he is is using or was using his forum at Digital Point as a potential gateway for his alleged million dollar eBay scam. However, one has to wonder since he has access to thousands of web visitors daily with their emails and their actual IP addresses. If he did, he has the perfect scam platform to capture people’s data and then use it against them. The same people that he claims to help on his webmaster forum.


Here is the V7n.com forum owner, John Scott in 2008 saying that Hogan had shared this cookie stuffing trick with him. What I find peculiar is that a few members on the V7n forum call out Scott for cosigning Hogans cookie stuffing fraudulent behavior and then you will see that many of them were banned from the website. I guess John doesnt like ethical people calling this alleged crime what it is, A FRAUD!
Here is what Scott said;
Shawn was kind enough to share the “cookie stuffing” tip with me years ago, and although I never did it because I thought it seemed a bit iffy, I don’t think that he perceived it to be unethical or wrong. I don’t think Shawn would have done it if he saw it as unethical.


I’m sure Shawn will work something out with ebay. Just seems like they might have failed to make it clear what commissions they are liable for.
Is this fricken clown serious? But the major problem here Mr. Scott is that your “buddy” may one of the biggest scammers in the history of the internets and by you cosigning him, that makes you just as slimy in my book. I find it funny that John Scott’s public statement about Hogan sharing these fraud techniques probably garnished him a visit by the FBI AND he may now be a witness against cookie pal.

You would have to be incredibly stupid to cookie stuff your way to being eBay's #1 affiliate and think they aren't going to figure out what you're doing. Hogan is either mentally retarded, or he truly thinks what he was doing was OK.
 
Not sure how many of you will remember The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show but this story reminds of the charters Boris and Natasha. Boris claimed to be an active member of Local 12 of the VTSU, Villains, Thieves, and Scoundrels Union.
 
Here is Hogan today on the DP. Looks like he is just going to let this ride and enjoy the traffic so he can get some adsense clicks for his legal defense fund. I dunno....

The Big Digitalpoint / eBay / FBI thread - all discussions happen here - Page 2

SHAWN HOGAN - Nah, it's more fun to hear all the funny things people say, but here's some of the funnier ones...

1. I was arrested (I've never been arrested or even handcuffed in my life).
2. I received a $15.5 BILLION fine (lol... wtf?).

Rather amusing that people think $15M worth of "cookie stuffing" (or any for that matter) happened to users of this forum... that would have worked out to me making $215 PER USER on average. You guys would have had to buy a LOT of crap from eBay.

If you read the complaint, the complaint doesn't claim 100% of earnings were via cookie stuffing (or even a large portion).
Between the amount of people who come to his forum and use his online tools, I bet he had access to tons of unique ip's to hijack daily. I think it's a smart move to let everyone just ride it out and talk about it on the DP. Just as long as he doesn't implicate himself more. However, these same people probably have already been fucked in the a$$ by him and they have no idea.

Well, it is because his penis is soooooooooooo small that he slips it in without them ever knowing they've been screwed. Kinda like stuffing your browser with cookies on DP.
 
DP would be one of the last places i'd choose to cookie stuff. There may be a lot of noobs, but i doubt it would be long before someone noticed the little rover.ebay.com url loading in the status bar and report it. Less than 30% of its traffic is from profitable EPN countries.
 
Fuck DP....

This make me larf
