Stop Paying VPN Affiliates for Customers Who Were Already Buying.

Sonar, our detection engine, examines live Google search results across every major market for queries like "[your VPN] coupon". When we find sponsored ads leading to affiliate tracking URLs, we capture the full evidence: ad screenshot, redirect chain, the static publisher ID extracted from awinaffid / irclickid / cjevent / siteid params, the affiliate network, the coupon codes used, and the destination URL. Every detection is classified with a confidence score and ready to forward to Awin, Impact, CJ, or whichever network the violator is registered with.

Everything. We scan your VPN brand keywords across every major market and send you a complete PDF report within 24 hours. The report includes every detection with screenshots, classifications, and evidence, ready to be forwarded to your affiliate networks for enforcement. No account or credit card required.

Then you’ll know your VPN program is clean - and that’s valuable information too. Every VPN affiliate program we have ever scanned has had at least one unauthorized bidder. Either way, you get the report.

Yes. Our redirect-chain capture follows every hop from the Google Ad click through to your real checkout, so a typosquat domain inserted as a middle hop shows up in the chain. TechRadar researchers identified 980+ lookalike domains targeting VPN brands in their 2024 survey - ProtonVPN saw a 29% maliciousness rate, the highest in the cohort. ExpressVPN has secured at least 22 typosquatted domains defensively. UDRP filings cost ~$1,500 and resolve in 45-60 days once you have evidence.

Browser-extension cookie injection at checkout is harder to catch from SERP scanning alone because there is no Google Ad on the search results page - the extension is doing the work client-side. The signal shows up in your attribution data: one or two affiliate publishers with impossibly high conversion rates, very short click-to-conversion windows, and a disproportionate share of commissions from users who also touched your brand through non-affiliate channels in the same session. We help you cross-reference. The active In re PayPal Honey class action (5:24-cv-09470, N.D. Cal.) cites a NordVPN sale where Honey allegedly captured a $35 commission while returning the user $0.89.

No - and this is the most expensive misunderstanding in the VPN affiliate channel. Awin, Impact, CJ, ShareASale and the rest are paid as a percentage of commission volume. Every fraudulent commission that flows through their platform is also a commission they take a cut on. Their compliance teams are reactive: they act on complaints. They don’t go looking for violations on your behalf. AdCrime is the system that finds the complaints you’d otherwise miss - with the static publisher ID, the screenshot, the redirect chain, and the timestamp the network needs to terminate the affiliate. You forward our dossier to Awin or Impact; enforcement typically runs same day to several business days once the evidence is accepted. QuoIntelligence’s March 2025 NordVPN report is the cleanest illustration: 1,000+ subdomains, 500+ fake social-media accounts, single affiliate ID 103411 - and no public NordVPN response, no termination, no acknowledgment. The detection has to come from outside the network.

Three things: 1. We show you full evidence upfront - your free scan includes affiliate IDs, redirect chains, screenshots, and network details. No sales call required to see what we find. 2. Our classification engine uses multi-pass detection with AI-assisted scoring that distinguishes real affiliate abuse from competitors and legitimate ads, which means fewer false positives. Enterprise accounts get access to our AI fraud analyst that can evaluate edge cases and explain its reasoning. 3. Pricing: most brand bidding tools start at $500-1,200/month. AdCrime starts at $149/month with credit-based pricing and full API access on Enterprise.

Every plan runs on Sonar, our detection engine, with coverage across every major search market out of the box - North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania included. Findings are always tagged with the market they were captured in. Need depth in a specific market? Enterprise plans include personalized scan coverage - if a meaningful share of your VPN revenue comes from Brazil, India, or Japan, talk to us at mario@adcrime.com.

It doesn't change the evidence. Everything we hand you is what a real customer in that country saw: the affiliate's live ad on your brand term and the tracking parameters their own link carries. And every finding is reproducible on your side. Search the term from that market, or look the publisher ID up in your own network dashboard, and you will see exactly what we captured.

Forward it to your affiliate network’s compliance team with a request to terminate the violating affiliate. The evidence package - screenshots, redirect chains, and the static publisher ID - is designed to be immediately actionable. Networks take enforcement action when presented with this level of proof.
