Need Help To List Down Scam Networks

Discussion in 'Pay Per Click Advertising' started by debapriya deb, Jun 29, 2013.

    It’s a known fact that there are a huge number of Scam Publisher Networks over the internet. While it’s a good idea to list down all such scam networks, but it’s not a full-proof solution to prevent webmasters from getting exploited by them as the list is never-ending. I will try my best to capture all such fake CPM Publisher Networks for the benefit of webmasters.
    I will keep adding new fake/scam Publisher Networks to this list whenever I come to know of any such networks. At the same time I would also request the DP members to get in touch with me through PM or e-mail (admin (at) adsreview.in) or comments section in the page, if they have any experience with a scam network which is not listed on Ads Review.

    Please note that all the scam networks you would notify me, would not be included in the Scam List straightaway as we don't want to harm the reputation of a genuine network. I would do my own investigation/research before confirming any network in the scam list.

    To start with, here's the list of 10 networks I have compiled so far based on my personal experience. I have categorized these in to two different categories -> A. Confirmed Scam and 2. Under Scanner. Hope, these naming are self explanatory. Please feel free put forward your suggestion and feedback -
    Blue Advertise or Dex Platform
    Confirmed Scam
    Ban publishers after reaching minimum payout.
    Adotic
    Confirmed Scam
    Don't pay publishers. Used to pay till 2010.
    Trikona Network
    Under Scanner
    Few received payments, most didn't.
    Adfoc.us
    Confirmed Scam
    Stopped paying publishers from Dec 2012.
    CPM Fun
    Under Scanner
    Many publishers got paid, although there are complaints as well that they pays the ones with minimal earning while ban publishers who earn handsomely.
    CPM Biz
    Confirmed Scam
    Don't pay publishers. Used to pay till 2012.
    Tech CPM
    Under Scanner
    Complaints of a large chunk of publishers not being paid. A few who are fortunate to receive payments, got it after considerable delays. There are complaints that they cheat publishers by showing much less impressions compared to what the publishers actually generated.
    Adon Exchange
    Confirmed Scam
    Don't pay publishers. Provides ads with malware/redirects.
    CPM Solution
    Confirmed Scam
    They have an unique concept of scamming. They pay publishers one or two small payments initially and when publishers start trusting them and send more traffic, eventually they stop paying. Don't reply to e-mails. Phone number given is non existent.

    Thanks for your inputs, mate. I, along with a few friends of mine, are using adnetwork.net on five different websites (in different niche) for the purpose of testing them. I won't term them scam just now, because there are quite a few publishers who have been paid by them. At the same time, I have also come across a few who have complaints about them.

    Let's be patient and see if we are getting paid or not. I would ideally like to wait for three payment cycles before taking a final call on them.

    I absolutely can term them "scam" if you want full details PM me i will tell you exactly why. Unlike most people on here I have dealt with their staff directly doing business, and they are a really bad network. Want more details PM me.

    @ViperBlood - CPMFun has not been termed as a scam just yet - they are "Under Scanner" after I received multiple complaints about them not paying. We are testing them out now for that matter and would take appropriate action to classify them to the correct category (Elite/Legit/Scam) once we have considerable proofs.

    Thanks for your screenshot - it is really helpful.
