Sorry to hear that, to bad you aren't in on the lawsuit

bad thing is... "The company will now have to pay the US government the $3m fine" instead of paying it too the people that were victims.

Hi,

All those false ads you see, like popups and banners with false message can all be used against the promoter. Those are illegal.

They are probably advertising some affilaite program, and I report them, they get their affiliate account closed, and maybe worse ... like fines.
