I'm going to the backseat of my car with the woman I love, and I won't be back for TEN MINUTES

We don't need fraudulent webmasters. Take a look at those screenshots and ask yourself what your reaction would have been.

Remember we are a recurring program...we make money when webmasters make money. We gained nothing from those fraudulent sales, they were all refunded. This is not a case of accusing a webmaster of fraud so we can keep the money generated by the signups...there is none.

Again this was not a personal attack on Sheepguy...I had no idea who the webmaster was/is...and don't care. The sales were fraudulent, and clearly not genuine...so they were refunded and the webmaster axed.

If Paycom comes back to me with an explanation that proves it's not fraud as I've said I'll apologise unreservedly and also notify CCBill.

It was not my intention to harm anyone's reputation for the fun of it. I didn't bring this to the boards.

5 credit cards, one ip (located in the US) and 5 different emails 3 of which point to France. My first guess would be someone was testing out some stolen credit card numbers.

Same thing I was thinking after reading all these posts.

I really think it's wrong what has been said and done to SheepGuy and an apology is certainly due to him.

I don't promote you and am glad because if I did I would be pulling links right now

In that case my reaction would of been to contact the webmaster first off to discuss the issue and go from there along with an investigation straight away with the billing company.

You've treated the guy like shit as if he's some kind of criminal without firm evidence it was him.

To me that has "unprofessional" written all over it.

Lisa, how do you define a personal attack?
I include being accused of fraud as a personal attack, and repeatedly through your posts here you have accused me of fraud, referring to me as "the webmaster" or grouped in with "fraudulent webmasters" or whatever.
You have launched a personal attack on my integrity and my reputation as a webmaster who has flown straight for over 10 years now. This is the first time anyone has ever accused me of fraud, a polite term for theft, and yes I am severely pissed off.
I brought it to the board because I will not be accused, convicted, and sentenced for a fraud I did not commit, and quietly say nothing.
You picked the fight by not even consulting me before putting a black mark beside my name.
On the plus side, for your inept handling of this situation, you have certainly picked up some nice publicity for your program.

And therein lies the real crux of the issue at hand.

Wow...simply wow...I would have thought an old school program like PMG would know better

A number of things could be responsible for that pattern. To blindly assume the webmaster is responsible is short-sighted to say the least.
