The malvertizements are very familiar, yes?

Now, we already know that a known bad actor, yourdirectmedia, has supplied "Classmatesmedia, Rick Harris, 619 949 8952" as a referee.  We also suspect (I have not had this independently confirmed) that classmatesmedia does not directly sells advertising - rather, I believe that United Online Advertising Solutions is responsible for that chore (uolmediagroup.com).

How much do you want to bet that somebody impersonating classmates.com, or falsely claiming to represent them, is responsible for these malvertizements.
