Caution! - MaxBounty Scammed Me

    Hay everyone,

    I would like to warn anyone involved with MaxBounty or looking at getting involved with them.
    I have spent hundreds of dollars on Adwords advertising and generating hundreds of dollars revenue only to be banned just before pay day and accused of offering incentives to complete offers. I can assure you this was not the case.
    The company has banned me for no reason (SCAM) and has dealt with me in a very unprofessional manner.
    So I would like to warn anyone before they consider doing any Internet Marketing with them that they are a scam!

    Regards, ProIMmarketer.

    You just joined to bash them? I'm sure they wouldn't ban anyone without a legit reason, are you sure your traffic was clean?

    Yes I feel cheated out of money that is rightfully mine and feel I should warn other about there actions.
    I am positive my traffic was clean I pride myself in using legit clean traffic for all IM.
    I even offered to provide proof to MaxBounty that I used Adwords to generate all of my traffic yet thy have decided not to reply to me emails now,
    At first I thought it was a mistake, that they had confused me with another affiliate but no the truth is they scammed me!

    Its not that I was using Adwords but they accused of me offering incentive's for non incentive campaigns which is a lie as I have done no such thing!

    w=What makes it worse is they deliberately waited until just before the 15th (payday) to ban me thus creating more revenue for themselves, some thing they wouldn't have done if I was actually providing fake/false leads via incentive's.

    I'm really disappointed such a network would scam a IM in order to create more revenue.

    They're a very reputable network. I've worked with them for a long time and never had any problem. I'm sure that they do not ban anyone for no reason. Also you've just joined this forum and complaining about them which makes me curious. How much you have to be paid?

    Are you sure they scammed you or you were defrauding their offers?

    I almost never believe people when they makes claims like this (especially when they make such a claim with their first post in a forum!). We have no way of verifying them and there are always two sides to a story.

    People always get paid as they are old affiliates.
    Some new affiliates really could banned by them with no reason,even though the traffic is clean.
    They can not afford such a large payment, or want to earn more profits, that's the really reason.
    (old account no reason to kill , so kill you ,the new account. )


    That's my point...

    Maxbounty is not scam. Its one among the few reputed networks around. They also have a good suppport / AM's to help their affiliate. If they are going to ban new affiliates who made legit $1000 then its a sure loss to them as they are missing out big profits from the same affiliate in future. I don't think any legit network would ban someone just because he/she is a newbie. Check if you violated any ToS or something went wrong with the way you were promoting or your campaigns.

    This might have happened as I have bad experience with them while visiting their site.

    i have received payment from maxbounty before in the past they are a good network but they are hard to get ahold of when there is a problem. they also reversed a small amount of leads with little excuse.

    MaxBounty is a good company. I doubt they will scam you over a few hundred bucks of commision when they have millions in revenue a year.

    OK they may not be a complete scam they paid me on my first month but now ive been banned and still no email reply.
    Im sure they pay some affiliates as they seem to have a good reputation but just warning others what they have done to me. Seems as though I'm not the only one either...
    I also feel they have taken advantage of me since I'm not u US resident making it hard to call and get in touch.
