Other Info:

I wrote a more detailed article about this grant scam affiliate site, New Twist to Grant Scams : Neverpayitback.com.

The people behind this site have been advertising on radio stations throughout the country. Their initial setup was a an affiliate rotator script redirecting to a couple of grant scam merchants' sites, but it seems they currently only funnel the user through to grant scam site Grant Seeker Secrets, which is operated by JRS Media Solutions in the Philippines.

The affiliate link used by neverpayitback.com runs through affiliate network HydraNetwork.com, a company that condones this type of grant scam by managing the advertising program for JRS Media Solutions' grant scam operation.



Here are some of Compete's referral statistics:

What these statistics show you is that they most likely have been actively advertising their crap via Yahoo, Google, Facebook and Microsoft's ad network.

If we take a 2% conversion at a CPA of $30 (these are just guesstimates) you can see that within a very short time these folks got paid roughly 2000x$30 = $60.000 for their grant scam affiliate efforts. It is probably a lot more.
