hi everyone. I think it must have been 6 years since I last posted on CAP (as Affiliate Director at PokerRoom.com, anyone remembering that great room still?), and I am glad to be back! I am also very glad that CAP and Ihre Consulting (IHRE) are together making a statement and trying our best to make this industry a better one as it will benefit us all. It is our mutual responsibility to expose those who take advantage of it and make it into a tougher one due to their behaviour as we will all suffer from it.
My first post is dedicated to Jussi Group, which is the Group behind sites such as FindMeCasino, FindMePoker, FindMeBingo. The founders, Simon Haley and Justin Williams and the entire group are just plain fraudsters. The same guys claim to have a database of 3m potential customers (all gaming) and to be able to offer mailing (offline and online) services. Needless to say, none of it exist apart from in their fantasies. They have scammed a number of operators, software providers as they use pre-payments for campaigns and by also claiming to offer a money-back guarantee if the campaigns dont deliver according to promises and agreements. However, they then claim all sorts of reasons for campaigns not to be delivered (most commonly wrong tracking caused by the operator!) and then eventually never to be heard of again nor the funds that they have received.
I warn everyone out there, affiliate, customers, operators (landbased or online), software providers to stay away as far as possible from these guys as they are simply bad news that will cause you a lot of headache, not to mention money with NO results to show for it. And if anyone out there know there whereabouts now or in the future, please let me know.
all the best and hoping NOT to post too much in this section as that only means that our business is subject to people, companies that no one wants to be subjected to.

Thats odd : According to their website
Fibbers wrote:“FindMePoker, is the world’s largest poker portal with over 100,000 members across the UK Ireland and the USA”They have a “newly opened New York office, in Manhattan”
FindMeCasino.com is the worlds largest casino portal, with over 3 million hits per month, and over 20,000 unique visits per day.
We have over 750,000 active members
How could that NOT be a success (Looks for an ironic smiley)

Hi Claire
Thank you for posting this.It is not often that operators will state in public thatthey have been scammed but I am have heard so many people talk about the Simon Haleyand Co from Find Me that I will speak out first with the hope of othersfollowing.
We agreed a deal with these guys it took weeks for anythingto happen they blamed our tracking ect which was incorrect as we had tested thelinks with Find Me and confirmed 100% that our tracking was working thenfinally a few players came through maybe 2% of what was agreed and paid for.
Then after speaking to them for a couple of weeks and themyet again telling us the tracking was not working they had the cheek of sendingme an invoice for a five figure sum stating that they had delivered the agreedplayers and we have 5 days to settle other invoice would increase with a daily interestfee, we of course did not pay and a few threats had been made by them but wehave not heard anything for a number of month I just know that Simon Haley iswalking around Vegas with money in his pocket that he stole from us.
I urge anybody and everybody to publish this link to ensurethat no other company or person gets scammed by these guys.
Thanks
Shaun
Wow I cannot believe what I am reading. This looks like a vendetta against a very good, innovative, hard working company. I have worked with Jussi Group for many years. First of all for a big operator as a client. My original contact was Gavin, I then met Simon and Justin at the Supershow in Prague. They went above and beyond what they promised in the deal. Delivered more signups than promised and infact even helped us when the marketing at our end went wrong. Then when I moved jobs I could not recommend the new company more highly Who I found out later were already working with them. They have always delivered.
I now work as a trouble shooter and consultant. So far have 10 currently clients who all use the Jussi Group and are very happy with the services.

I have to say i find your post very hard to believe, i am aware of so many companies that have had money stolen from them via the Jussi Group.

Eddieihre (Simon/Justin?) ??
I am not prepared to list my clients on here for you. I have done my research into you and it poses very interesting reading. Ripping off affiliates after demanding “large consultancy fees” seems your forte. You also sponsor your own thread very independent?
All I can say is this and I do this very independently and without any ulterior motives. Working with the Jussi Group over the years I have only good things to say about them and their team. I find no fault. I was originally explained the process with Gavin, going in with my eyes open that they are not an affiliate and do no operate as one. Its paid advertising, which would require input by me and my team. Doing so we got the results which we were more than happy with. We used them again and continued to use them when I moved rolls or companies.
Maybe you did not get on, on a personal level or did not understand how they work? I go what I know and that is my personal experience with them. I have met other clients of theirs at events and parties organised by them. I am pretty sure if they had anything to hide they would not put a load of their own clients in one room together would they?
LOL Simon nice of you to reply in public.
After exchanging some 50 or so emails with you and countless phone calls i know your tone and I am pretty sure Edward does as well.
Simon the facts are very simple you stated you could deliver you demanded upfront paymnet and you deliver very little if anything and dont return the funds and the makes threats of legal action.
That in my mind is a pretty sick way to make money but I am very strong beliver in carma and I know you one day you will be paid back in full.

I have to say, I have not heard of a single company that has NOT been ripped off by the Jussi Group having done a deal with them. I would be interested in knowing if anyone has anything good to say about them. “Dave” – perhaps you could direct them to this thread to help you in your defence. Only one side the jury is falling on here at the moment mate…
I have worked with Jussi Group for over a year, on the findmepoker and findmebingo websites. I have only dealt with my account manager John, never met any of the bosses. They deliver what is promised. We originally signed a pre pay CPA deal, which they over delivered. The pattern has continued since. Before we signed the deal we spoke with other clients 2 in Malta 1 in the Costa Rica, who recommended them.
As for Ihre, I have had dealings with him. There is a court case in Stockholm and I was also contacted by a journalist for Calvin Ayre who is writing an article about them after receiving a number of complaints.
