Anyone having SERIOUS issues with Black Label Ads? (Adbrite/AVNads)???

They used to respond to emails / contact forms within a day or so.. but now it's taking 5-6 days or no response at all...

They no longer answer their phone.. (voice mail only, and they do not return phone calls)

They no longer have an address on their website and the domain is "Domain by Proxy"

They owe me about 1,000 bucks from ads i served (and another several hundred from ads purchased), and as far as ads i purchased all kinds of screwy things have been going on:

i.e.:
I purchased about 100 ads to begin between Decemeber and April, then about half of them showed up not to begin until 2009... emailed them a half dozen times and they said they were going to fix it.. and credit my account for the prepurchased ads.... they eliminated the screw ups but never credited my account...


And the remaining 50 or so ads were not being displayed on the sites and when you go to the advertisers page, it says the ads are offline, but i was still charged for the ads...

and their "site directory" is totally messed, nowhere near as good as it was before, most flat rate ads are offline, there is no way to sort the ads the way we used to be able to do it...

and most of the ads are now traffic from: china, vietnam, india, and other odd countries instead of the US/UK/ etc...

what the friggin hell is going on? I never had these issues with Adbrite...

and things were ok (so i thought) when it transferred to blacklabel.. but then at the end of january everything seemed to go to hell....

i noticed on other forums alot of other people were having issues, mainly with anonymous proxy browsing sites serving ads.. but this crap with normal sites is just weird...

it's almost impossible to get any contact with them at all...

the other odd thing is even though it is no longer adbrite, the charges on my card are all listed as adbrite..

something is totally messed up here...
