BidVertiser SCAMMED me - what should I do?
My BidVertiser.com account was terminated due to illegal clicks. I had over $70 in there so of course I complained, and their excuse was that "we are responsible for the revenue of thousands of publishers´ websites and we can not afford sending such traffic to our advertisers."
So if they can not afford to send such traffic, how the hell did they ALLOW me to earn my money which I am legally entitled to??? Later they followed up:
Please be informed that we reviewed you account and we could see that a warning e-mail has been sent to you regarding several IP's that were generating large amount of ineligible clicks into your account.
We asked you to block the following IP's :71.84.228.219 , 68.55.49.219, 67.49.180.25 , 69.246.67.9 , 217.219.194.4 .
We are sorry, but our decision is final.
Best Regards,
BidVertiser Support Team

I think this is bull**** and I never got any emails from them either. I will seek legal advice for this. Does anyone have any tips for me?

It's not bull**** at all. Your traffic didn't convert. That's all there is to it.

Honestly you have no chance against them..they have all the logs and you have..nothing. Either way you cant really say its bull..they wouldnt single you out for no reason.

If you want to be treated like a real business, you act like one. You should have blocked.

I guess there is some blame on BidVertiser if in deed they never sent any emails. If they have email logs you hardly have a chance.
It would be beneficial for everyone if BidVertiser had automatic IP banning of their ads though then no one would be in that situation.

$70 isn't worth legal advice unless that advice is free. Which is wont be.

$70 is peanuts anyway. You had invalid clicks, get over it.
