Then, amusingly, the guy who originally told me about the fraud (a guy who works for AskJolene) came into the thread, trying to mediate. Immediately, other peopl who got scammed posted THEIR results:

thats a click thru rate of 2%. When I was submitting galleries that I built a couple months ago, I was getting about 40% with tgp traffic.

Amusingly, this was for all "new" business -- they couldn't handle it, so (as the source inside the company told me), they just used hitbots and other crap to fabricate the clicks, eating through the budgets like crazy.
Glad to see it isn't happening "now," but shit -- what would stop them? They BANNED the IP's of people who were complaining -- in my case, they KEPT some of my money, too.
It's funny to go back and look at this .. and see how many people didn't do business with them, or stopped doing business with them, because of it.
Pierre -- I'm sure you've gone in there and cleaned shit up! Do you have any feedback on how the riff-raff have been cleaned out of AJ, and you're all on the up-and-up now? ICQ me so we can talk, or post here.
