Dialers

[Krome]

As most of you know I run three adult sites :

www.benscastingcouch.com - A Ben Dover Based site
www.ukvideobabes.com - 100% unseen UK girls in naughty footage
www.trafficcrew.com - A place where adult webmasters can make some cash through banners on there site.

I have never used dialers and never will. These things will destroy the adult internet. I have just got off of the phone from an individual over in the states who is interested in handling the dialers on my sites. For $4 per minute you can check out the sites with me making $1. I have and always will class these things as a virus, and a very dangerous one.

You may not wish to join my sites but please do not use dialers.

A company Verity International was behind a lot of the dialers. Read this :
This is the actual FTC charges:

Please be careful when you read signs like "Free Porn" and then download the software.

Hope people still enhoy my free sites :
www.britboy.i12.com and www.britgirl.12.com
no dialers and no fees there!!!

Thanks

I agree with you on this...Dialers are the worst thing to hit the net..
We took a long hard look at them for our sites and decided that if we used them we might just aswell shut down the sites...

And of course, when you hit a free porn banner and download the software, the thing is difficult to get rid of. Remove it from one part of the desktop and it'll pop up somewhere else.

Those of you who click links should also be aware of navigation viruses. A friend of mine has picked up two variants of the Navidad virus from clicking links (I think on e-groups). They were relatively easy to kill, but e-groups are a no-go for him now. There's also one site, bustydusty.com, which has an attack script on the homepage to crash windows.

Any other sites to avoid?

And like everthing there is good and bad, we use them cause some people like to taste without risking their credit card details, some are terrified to use their card at all and others like their porn to go on the bosses phone bill. I think if it is a reputable company that has UK addresses, contact details etc then make your own mind up. I always thought offering the customer as many ways to pay as possible was part of the service..One thing to note though is FREE the only parts that are free are never the best everyone shows just a bit to entice you in...well this is supposed to be a business after all.. I have more prblems with scam merchants who promise the world and deliver jack sh....well thats my bit,

Is this really the place to discuss dialers? I think not. Maybe move to http://www.adultwebmasters.co.uk/chat/

latest thing I have is a firewall. www.zonealarm.com has zone alarm which is free for personal use. 2 recent emails sent to an address of mine had no subject and no from fields. The attachments were exe's. I sent them to my hotmail account and the virus detector program found out the virus type of the executable. Of course, never execute (click to run) unknown files.

Another site worth visiting whilst on the subject of personal security is www.grisoft.com/co.uk, one or the other. This offers a totally free virus detector, that runs on start-up and once daily with free updates, notified by email. Well worth the phone bill.

Another thing (for people who've never encountered an email virus) is to watch for multiple mail from the same person - a genuine one and a dummy or two with the exe. Usually a quoted reply with "Look at the attachment" written on it.
