You will see the email that Infolinks sent me below. I had their "code" installed on my website for about 3 weeks and for 2 of those weeks I was offline (Internet service was cut off). They claim that I had fraudulent activities going on, but never explain just what these activities are. I did not do anything wrong. I did nothing "fraudulent" on my website and I never would. I have been using other ad networks for YEARS and none of them have complained or treated me this way.
They told me that my account is suspended and my earnings revoked. I don't even know how much I had earned because I never signed back into the site, but however much it is, it was still MINE and they have no right to do this without any kind of explanation! Their message is so rude, disrespectful and distasteful that it made my blood boil. How can they talk to their loyal customers like this? They kicked me to the curb without reason, told me to remove the code, took my money, suspended my account and then try to wish me luck?
Please, if you're considering this company, just stay as far away as you can! You will LOSE in the end because they act like scam artists do. If they really cared about their customers, they would at least try to ask my side and ask if I've done any of the alleged activities before just suspending my account. They accuse me of doing something that I didn't without even hearing my side and I don't appreciate it one bit.
Yes they ripped me too. When its time to pay all of a sudden I have fraud traffic same as the other no proof. See a pattern?
Yes info links also stole my money as well, my website have huge traffic and i earn much but when its time to pay me they block my account and said i have adult content, just look at my website and tell ma where is the adult content > www.watchonlinemovies.com.pk, so info links are spam company and no one use that ad network.
I just found out that in January Infolinks shut down my account I've had since 2010.
I have numerous sites/blogs & only 3 have adult content on them (no porn, my sites are all business in nature).
Infolinks knew what kind of sites they were b/c they approve each site before they allow you to post links. They've been doing this since I started with them 5 years ago.
They NEVER EVER e-mailed me to tell me they were no longer allowing adult sites & to ask me nicely to take down the links from those 3 while leaving the rest intact. Instead, they shut down my account & stole my money & then had the nerve to accuse ME of being fraudulent.
I e-mailed them & they refused to even listen still citing I'm the one who violated their terms & conditions LOL These T&C I didn't even know existed or had been updated. I can't read a company's mind. In fact, I just did a search for the word "adult" in the original agreement & no such word existed.
Again, I am NOT here to read a company's mind. To expect every publisher to know when they've changed their terms is just ridiculous. I just did a search & I never received ONE e-mail stating they updated their Terms & Conditions while providing a summary of what has changed.
When a company just closes your account without even talking to you about the issue, that speaks volumes about their lack of integrity, poor communication skills & their power hungry mentality.
Whether you agree with adult sites or not shouldn't be the issue. What should be the issue is how I was treated & how my money was stolen from me.
Oh & just so you know, whenever there was an issue in the past with one of my sites, in this case it was 3 of my non adult ones b/c there wasn't enough content or some other reason, they always e-mailed me to let me know there was a problem & once it was fixed then the site could go live. They NEVER EVER shut down my account before without ANY warning or communication.
Oh & they also lied in the e-mail saying several of my sites are adult. If 3 out of 15-20 sites is "SEVERAL" to them, they need to go back to school & learn English.
They are clearly looking for any way to steal people's money. That much is clear to me.
They are still cheating people. We had $1500 made from them, they sent the email today claiming click fraud. Strange, considering an one of their people reviewed our account last week and was trying to get us to run their tags on sites we had taken them off. You'd think if they were getting complaints, they wouldn't tell us to run on more sites. None of our major US advertisers have issues with our traffic, plus we use Adometry and IAS to filter for bad clicks.
Did not click on any of the links ourselves, either.
I never clicked my OWN links. That's the problem! I use adblock, so I never ever saw the links, so how could I click them?
you clicked your own infolinks add links. It's ok, i've done it. I also got banned. I then started another account. You can't give yourself clicks. It's Against the rules and regulations. Even if they find you've given yourself just one hit, you can get banned.
"I did nothing "fraudulent" on my website and I never would. I have been using other ad networks for YEARS and none of them have complained or treated me this way."
I had the same experience with these scam artists. We've been using ad networks for 14 years without any problems and there has never been any fraudulent activity on activity. The only ad network that has ever libellously accused us of fraudulent activity is this scam company Infolinks who falsely accuse advertisers of fraud and then keep all of the money earned by the advertiser, and they refuse to provide you with any proof of the alleged fraudulent activity (which is most likely because there was no fraudulent activity by the site owner therefore it would be impossible to provide proof).
If you check the 'our team' section of the company page on Infolinks site you will see that the two Israeli co- founders Oren Dobronsky and Yariv Davidovich previously worked at a company called HotBar which made a browser tolbar . Do a google search on "HotBar and spyware" to see all of the complaints that these people's previous company generated.
