I decided to give it a try to those guys because I read good stuff about them in the adult niche. So I started sending them some adult traffic.
To completely be honest I wasn't putting a lot of effort, because I was doing other stuff at the time, and wanted to check how profitable this really, was before getting in completely, but I was logging continually to see how it was going every day.
I was getting some leads, every 1 or 3 days, about 1 or 2 dollars a day for almost 3 months until i reached the minimum. In Datinggold terms they say that they have 2 payment periods, if you complete 100$ between 1 and 15 of each month, you get paid on 25. If you reach it between 15 and 30, you get paid on 10 of the next month, whatever, common network stuff.
So I reached the minimum between 15 and 30. of last month, I was very happy to finally see some money of it and being able to purchase some stuff to do it in a larger scale. So yesterday 14th of April I logged to my account and saw on the front page that I was getting some leads this month, in fact, I had a lead on the same day, but I didn't see a payment of the last period yet, when it should have been sent on Monday.
So I write to the manager and after some casual conversation, he just says to me that their department closed my account for fraudulent leads.
Now, I know where my leads come from, I have hundreds of thousands of views on video pages, I have been checking my stats to track how this method worked, in fact as I mentioned I haven't even collected a huge amount of money yet, I had like 130 dollars in total or something like that (was going to receive about 110 this payment). And even though he says that they banned me for fraudulent leads... I have been collecting leads for almost 3 months... the last period ended 14 days ago and they just let my panel keep working so I can see how I was still getting leads to keep sending them traffic. How is it possible that they suddenly discovered my leads were fraudulent when I asked to get paid?
(still, was a slow month, was getting about 25 every 15 days)
I called him out instantly as I have read about other companies that do the same stuff, they ban on payment day under any bullshit excuse, as you can see, he doesn't even tell me why my leads are "fake". Also his picture isn't show up in Skype because apparently he just blocked me after the conversation. I asked him if he speaks Spanish at the beginning because my nickname was kind of a funny word in Spanish and he laughed, but I'm pretty sure he wrote me in Spanish to prevent me to take screen captures, you can easily put those phrases in a translator to check that my translation is legit.

Faking referers and such was a well-discussed subject in the CPA section a few years ago, i don't really see this anymore.
