CPALead Scammed me and Stole My Money - CPALead.com is a scam

    Hi Digital Point.

    I'm making this post to share the worst ever dishonest experience I've ever had with an ad service, in short, they are nothing more then thieves and scammers.

    I've been a member of CPALead for some time, yet a few months ago they just stopped paying my earnings at the end of the month.

    I opened a ticket which was completely ignored, waited until the next month only to see my earnings not paid yet again, even though my account remained active and I carried on heavily campaigning and the $ kept totting up they for some reason had decided to stop paying me. So when it happened again the month after I opened another ticket and tried to contact my affiliate manager JEREMY who was impossible to work with. When he did answer me on chat I gave him all the details, then I'd contact him later in the day and he'd ask for all the details again.

    After hearing nothing from the tickets months later I get a message, My account has been terminated. :(

    WTF?

    This is nothing short of theft, I know the advertisers haven't been refunded so they have just pocket all my earnings for no reason, while keeping the account open generating a lot of earnings for themselves off my work.

    Needless to say we are fuming at this, this is surely nothing short of theft by CPalead, I'm guessing with underhand thieving tacticts like this I', not the only one to be scammed by CPAL, my question is what can we do about it?

    If you are so sure you've been scammed -sue them.
    Are you absolutely certain you didn't breach their T & C?
    BTW - watch out for libel laws !!!!

    Well having a difficult AM really is a pain in the rear, especially for stuff like this. I guess its too late know to ask for different AM then?

    It depends on what METHOD you use.. maybe your breaking their TOS.. you should let them explained 1st before your account would be terminated.

    They've been heavily banning users that were breaking the TOS.

    I'm sure you've been either spamming or something went wrong.

    Hello,

    I work for CPAlead and I'm interested in making this right for you. I understand that you had an extremely poor experience and that you probably question the value of communicating with me. But if you can drop me an email with your affiliate ID, I assure you that I will review the situation and see what I can do to resolve it. Include "Scammed by CPAlead" in the subject line and send it to .

    Sincerely,

    John T. Bryant
    CPAlead

    I own one of the biggest sites on the internet with only one major competitor, the traffic is high and would make CPALead a lot of money. But due to a never ending flow of negative reviews about CPALead, I won't be signing up.

    Just watched the CPALead YouTube video of one of their staff winning a brand new Masserati. That car was paid by an affiliate at CPALead as they had their earnings stolen. I'm keeping well away from CPALead like the plague.

    You think all these CPA networks are dumb? They have invested tons of money on fraud detection. If you send them fraudulent leads, sooner or later you'll be banned.
