I'm waiting until Oct.20 before making any judgments, one way or the other. That's when he said he'd pay. For all we know his site got hijacked or similar.
This does not look good, though: http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?do...rog_id=godaddy Administrative Contact: Silver, Sheldon [email protected] Paragon Network 1701 East Avenue Rochester, New York 14610 United States 5852713960 That address is a McDonalds. The phone number is for the McDonalds as well. I suppose it's possible he works there, anyone want to give it a call and ask? The name change to Sheldon Silver from Sheldon Swift is also concerning. Sheldon Silver is a politician in the NY area. Anyway, I'll be sitting tight until Oct.20 comes around. If no payment by then, we'll see. I'm not too worried about it, as I have his real name, address, phone number, etc. Let's give him until the 20th before any action is taken. |

Wow, check the source code for the page, sure enough that is a fake IE error. Tried 3 browsers and same thing in all of them. Safe to assume he split. Good Hand CCU!! -Brendan [/ QUOTE ] Man, that is some pretty cold [censored]. I thought he might just be moving to an offshore host (like a lot of affiliates are lately) but the fake IE error page makes his intentions pretty clear. My guess is that with the new legislation clamping down on some of his key profit centers, he decided it was time to close up shop with a convenient excuse. There is no reason a site like his can't work, but there will always be tracking problems to deal with and I sure wouldn't want the aggravation. Also Microbob, FYI the majority of sportsbooks do pay affiliates based on a % of net losses. SIA is one of the only ones I have seen that pays on a % of initial deposit method. If he was signed up under this method, then yes, he won't get any more $$ from your future play, but if it was a different book, the answer would probably be different. Halo7 |

I wonder how much money he made out of this. [/ QUOTE ] More than many reputable affiliates will ever make. It's a shame people fall for these sorts of offers. Maybe he bailed because SIA stiffed him. At least that way he wouldn't be rich. |

I can honestly say I did not expect money.
But a serious lol for how he did it. |

I should have known this would happen... I should have been paid the 20th of last month but got some poorly explained balk e-mails when I asked for updates.
I hate everyone on earth. |

Even more wow, he registered the site to a Mcdonald's in NY under the name of a NY politian. Damn, talk about a huge scandal. Everyone who is owed money by CCU post here how many sites he owes you for and how much money so we can try to get a running total going. Probably gonna be a pain trying to locate him though, he might not even be located in NY.

It is looking worse and worse, but I prefer to think that his site just got hijacked. I did compare the page code, and I agree that it is faked. That, along with the registrar changes are not a good sign. That doesn't mean that he did it, though. Hopefully he will come back to the forum with an explanation post of some type. No reason to stress out over it until the 20th rolls around or he comes forth and lets us know he intends to not pay. If he has indeed split, I have no doubt I will be able to persuade him that it is in his best interests to live up to his end of the deal. At least, in my case. |
