In 2005, some scammy ad company paid me to do similar stuff - let them completely control some pages on a high ranking domain. Google figured it out after a few months and blacklisted my entire domain until I removed them. Crazy that this is still an issue.

I’ve noticed that certain companies become too big to fail, and then they just start breaking the rules.

For instance, Experian stole my credit card number once. The fraud department at my national megabank said that Experian was responsible for over half their case load.

You’d think that the credit card processing networks would have blocked the Experian payment processing account at that point. I think they would have blocked pretty much any other company on earth.

Wait, what? This is beyond wild. How did you know it was Experian? Have you since found any other evidence for this?
