Mark Dosier and James Cole operate ListZap, a recruitment scheme advertised through their "Mark and James Advertising Network." The ListZap website domain, registered May 4, 2011, uses private registration details. No ownership information appears on the site, though "MandJnet" is listed on its Terms and Conditions page.
The "MandJnet" alias links to markandjames.net, a site where ListZap is promoted. The Mark and James Advertising Network, as it calls itself, appears to be run by Dosier and Cole. A promotional banner used on the markandjames.net website was taken from another site marketing "Forex MegaDroid."
Last week, Dosier sent an email to prospective affiliates inviting "TOP marketers" to ListZap. He stated, "This program will be managed by myself and James Cole. James and I have been working together for about 5 year now." The email also said, "We are only looking for 9 Top Marketers to help us filling the level 3 of the matrix so to grant them the maximum results with a small promotional effort." Recruits needed to refer at least 15 upgraded members.
Before ListZap, Dosier and Cole launched ClickAdProfits in late July 2013. An email from a ClickAdProfits affiliate at the time described Dosier and Cole as "trusted and experienced Admins & owners of The feeder, PIF43, NitroList, CashInSolos and many more successful programs." The affiliate claimed they "projected this program to be sustainable for the long-term."
ClickAdProfits marketed itself as a "legal revenue share." It charged affiliates $25.53 for an hourly share of revenue, which came from other affiliates buying shares. The company promised a $30 return on investment per share. Affiliates had to click ten ads daily to qualify for their returns, receiving advertising credits with each investment.
About two weeks after its launch, around August 6, 2013, ClickAdProfits payments to affiliates began to stall. Dosier and Cole emailed affiliates on August 8, explaining the situation. They wrote, "Some Payza members have decided to open unmotivated disputes; We have not broken any terms and the content of their messages to Payza is clearly demonstrating it." They concluded, "We cannot run a business like this if, even without breaking any term, some 'hysterical' members can win a dispute."
