I purchased an Interstitial ad with AdBrite on 7-18. I received an email from them on 7-31-06 stating there was a problem with my credit card. When I checked into my ad, I found I had over $200.00 in charges, plus over $150.00 that wouldn't go through on my card.
I immediately called the company and told them that I wanted to cancel because there was no way I was getting all those hits to my website.
I placed my ad on Focus Daddy not even knowing what kind of site it was (sex) because it had the lowest click per view.
I thought everything was taken care of until I checked my bank balance online today (09-16-06) and saw all these charges.
I then went to the AdBrite website and logged into my account and it says I currenty have no ad running. I then checked my manage ads and it says I currently have an ad on Focus Daddy and it is active.
I tried to call AdBrite, but they are only open M-F, so I sent them an email and told them to cancel my ad immediately and I wanted all my money refunded. I also told them I was going to file a fraud report.
According to their ad, the average total clicks for 6 months is 12,412. I have had 42,677 clicks on my website in less than 2 months. I am in a candle business and this is a sex site. Out of 42,677 clicks, I have had no phone calls, no emails, no entries to receive a free candle, no purchases, and no one contacting me about the business. Just $633.53 in charges.
I was told that they pay people to view websites. I have definitely been scammed.
