Before i begin to tell my story, pls understand that my english is not perfect and never had any problem in the past with any cpa network
I had my neverblue account from years but was earning not more than 1k per month since i was using other networks.
On October i made 11k with them and that resulted in a ban near end of month
What happened?
I used few e-mail submits to get leads (100% real) but in a nonethical way
I made a test in first 2 days and made around 1k and then stopped. I thought to myself: lets fake referer and split earnings on different networks
Again, leads were 100% real but promotions was did with a nonethical way
But guess what. I got an e-mail from my AM
"Hi xxxxx,
I hope this email finds you well! I wanted to reach out and say great work this weekend J
I notice that your traffic has stopped, I wanted to see what we can do to keep it going?
Cheers!"
When i first saw e-mail from it, i said, oh shit but after i opened it I though, neverblue is ok with my promotion so lets continue again. This e-mail was an encouragement for me to continue.
Logic, my AM saw source of traffic, my landing pages etc.. and encouraged me to start again what i was doing
So, now part 2
I started again my promotion and 1 day i also made $3k and neverblue didn't sent me any other e-mail
But the day that my traffic stopped i got this e-mail
"Hi,
After a review of your account, our Compliance and Quality Assurance department has decided to terminate your account with Neverblue on the grounds of suspected fraudulent activity. As it was determined that your earnings were generated using un-approved means of advertising and/or from fraudulent activity, you will not be paid for the same. Your account has now expired and you will no longer have access to it."
I was like wtf and contacted immediately my AM. She said that she don't have idea for this and forwarded me to Mitali Petersen, the head of Fraud Department
She confirmed me on phone the ban and told me that i will not be paid. When i objected and told her that my AM encouraged me to she said, ok we will wait till end of month. If advertiser pay us we will pay you
That was total bs because was not only 1 advertiser but different ones because i promoted different e-mail submits from diff advertisers
End of story
Mitali sent me an e-mail again
"[FONT="]With regards to the email written to you by your Affiliate Manager, they?re required to push sales, and it is a standard question to ask an affiliate to push more volume however it is also the Compliance team?s job to ensure that our offers are being promoted in a legal and ethical manner, methods which our advertisers have pre-approved. Had your Affiliate Manager or the Advertiser known the methods with which you were promoting our offers, they would have, like us, immediately asked you to cease all activity and not wanted to pay for those leads."
[/FONT][FONT="]If my AM was lazy and never saw my traffic and just sent me a copy/paste e-mail to promote is not my fault. Is their problem
I already contacted a lawyer on my country and he told me, that my method was nonethical but since AM encouraged me to continue to do that with that e-mail, at least we can get $$ back. As for account on neverblue i simply don't care
The only problem is that I'm on Europe and Neverblue on Canada
I know you are tired from reading this long thread
but can you pls suggest me anything
again sorry for my english
