Recently I contacted Pimp Roll because I wasn't able to login to my account. Phil emails me back telling me that my account was "terminated due to spamming". Not only can I not believe this but I have only created and submitted a total of three galleries for that sponsor and I only submit to TGPs where I have partner accounts. In fact I don't even know how to spam because I've never tried. I contacted Epoch via phone, got transferred twice and finally was able to talk to someone who gave me the email address of where I could get some answers. Here is the transcript of the emails:
Sorry. Risk management's position is that when suspicious
activity is found, we do not inform anyone affiliated with that
party why they were frauded thus compromise Epoch's
proprietary risk management techniques.
Thanks

I explained to the sponsor that I do not spam. I need to find out why this account has been terminated and what evidence Paycom has acquired- in terms of what domains the spamming arose from and also from what source the spam report came from. I believe that this is obviously an error as I have stated that I do not spam. I have called Paycom support about this and they informed me to use this email address ([email protected]) for reporting. Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information.

My resonse was:
So you're basically saying that a webmaster with a malicious intent could do something like clone pages created by myself containing my linking code, spam it all over the world and then I'd get my webmaster account terminated because of their actions? I think you need to reasses your risk management features in the future if that's the case. Because there is no way I have spammed the account code in question. I would like to request a rereview by Paycom of my account activities if possible. Again, I have stated I was not involved in any spamming activities of any kind.
Could this be some new way to rip honest webmasters off?
