    I havnt been scammed...yet. I think they were so eager to get as many publishers that they could with the fall of auctionads that they really didnt set any restrictions. Then, once they saw that some people were making bank off of predominantly non english sites and not converting off of those clicks, they pulled the plug on them. So, I think if you have a clean website, with US visitors, you should be fine.

    No issues here either - last months earnings approved and ready for taking, non-English sites seem to have felt the pinch, but this was a ruling made 3 weeks ago - so if they didn't apply for prior approval or ignored the updates (via Blog and TOS) then they took a huge risk.

    No issues here. I'll wait and see if I get paid.

    That's gotta be a reporting issue. I bet your earnings are really still there somewhere. You should get an answer from them on that.

    Think the deleted accounts should be appearing in MY BUCKS now or if not now then soon apparently.

    I have been reading the forums and all I see is "WidgetBucks took "x" amount from me!!". Thats why I thought it was a scam.
