    ARS took my money back!

    Just got this in the mail:

    Dear Webmaster,

    We have uncovered an error in our payout scripts that resulted in an overpayment of $ 0.06 to you for clicks to For Mature Audiences Only on account xxxxxx. Where possible, we have recouped this overpayment from your current payout. If you do not have enough revenue in your current payout, your account will now have a negative balance. We will continue to recoup any outstanding overpayment amounts from future revenue earned until the balance is retired.

    We have made certain this error won't happen again. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We value your business. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

    Warmest Regards,
    Becky DeForest

                                    It's not that. I used to make $50/day with the exact same traffic.

                                        The values may be small to each individual account holder, but the total over payment was over $50,000. I had to recoup that money. If the over payment wasn't that large, I would have just let it go. I wonder why no one came forward and said that we paid them more than what their stats said they were owed, but everyone is quick to rag on us for taking it back.

                                                      they took $30 from me, but i havent pushed ARS in months since ARS4Real dropped and killed off their whole company in one fell swoop...
                                                      I figured out that it's better to make $500 each off of 10 sponsors per month than $4000 from one sponsor. CLICK HERE to see who's making me money this month

                                                            When you put it that way... take whatever you overpayed. Cause its your money.
