Glavmed Sister Program ‘Glav Torg’ to Close
Summary: GlavTorg.com, an affiliate program run by the same people behind the Glavmed and SpamIt rogue pharmacy operations, told affiliates on Dec. 21, 2011 that it would shut down and stop paying after Jan. 31, 2012. Launched on July 4, 2010 to sell replica handbags, watches, sunglasses and shoes, the program cited economic deterioration in supplier product quality, while Chanel had sued in September 2011 to shutter knockoff sites and seized topbrandclub.com, a primary GlavTorg merchandising site.
What's compelling: The affiliate infrastructure behind Glavmed and SpamIt did not disappear when one line of business closed; Igor Gusev, facing pending criminal charges over the spam operation, was already weighing a move into consulting merchants on navigating shady card processors and dodgy banks.
