Adbrite is involved in activities such as click fraud, zero by zero pixel fraud ad delivery, organized crime among site owners, mail fraud and credit card fraud. Our company has recently opened a couple of accounts to track this firm for a client who needed a independent review based on our network tracking software and what we found was quite abnormal.
We are taking our findings to the high court in California and to the FBI. This company is nothing more than a front with most (85%) of its listed sites being "shell" sites that are popped on servers nets. There is little indication that any ads are being delivered to real "eyeballs" and the company is in fact working in concert with known internet fraud gangs.
It is also plausible that Adbrite falls under RICO with the level of these activities reaching many states and customers across the globe. It is the intention of this firm to bring a class action suit at a minimum and to arrange for this information to be given to authorities to garner an opinion on criminal charges as well.
We spoke with a ex-Adbrite employee who admitted that most of the companies traffic was not human in origin. Bots, Java scripts rotators and other pervasive tactics where and are being used to defraud individuals and companies of 10's of millions of dollars. He also stated that the senior executives of the firm are in full knowledge of this and that the company for many months had no personnel in charge of Terms and Conditions regarding site owners. It was stated that in 2008 one person was hired for this to police the 10's of thousands of sites that are in the network.
Adbrite misrepresents itself plainly on site entrance displaying the sites and numbers available to advertisers. It is plain to see that this company is a front for crime and this company has no intention of delivering quality ads whatsoever.
We expect to file this class action suit in August - Septmeber 2009.
Please check back to this post, as we will give information on how to join the suit in the near future.
