We buy from near all advertising companies but nowhere I see a difference of 90%+ all others are 0-3% (except Traffic holder who is around 10%).
As Trafficshop is here actively promoted, is this a known scam of them or do they have some technical Issues?

I went to war with Trafficshop well over a year ago. After buying tons of skim traffic, I noticed my hit counts were way off. I ran some simple tests, and each test I purchased 1000 hits, and my hit counter would show 800 to 850 hits received. I ran multiple tests, with 2 different hit counters on 2 different pages and got almost the same results. Sometimes I would get close to 900 hits. But still, when you buy large volumes, that shave adds up quick. On very large orders I noticed 700 to 750 hits received per 1000 ordered. And of course, it would always show 1000 hits sent on their page.
I sent screen shots of all the evidence and I got the same dam reply every time, "Please install your hit counter at the top of the page to make sure it is working properly and counting every hit." Un fucking real. One time they said it was my counter's fault. I even contacted the counter creator from their site (stat counter) and the tech said there was no way their counter would "miss a few hits." It's impossible.
I ran more tests, put the counter at the top of the food chain, and nothing changed. I gave up. BTW, the landing page was a simple page, small, with small pics, super easy to load for surfers. Stat counter said no way somebody could visit the page and the counter wouldn't count it. Even if the surfer left after a 1/100 of a second.
Those fuckers at Traffic Shop are 100% skimming traffic orders. As the market declines, all the thieves start to emerge, stealing and shaving anything they can in order to make a profit. I doubt now if any of their traffic is even real. It's probably all bots by now set up in a sophisticated IP network all done with proxy servers. But hard to prove.
Fuck any broker that sells skim traffic. You don't know what you are getting, even if the IP says "USA" I personally think all the hits are coming from China and sent via proxy so the IPs are changed. You can buy 1000 China hits for about ten cents wholesale, that's where the money is in traffic brokering.
