Just got this in the mail:

Quote:

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

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.

Well, if the overpayment to me was 50K i would have notified you...or fled to cuba, but since it was 2.48 i thought it was from the dialer or some other thing. you guys got so many programs i cant keep track of them anymore.

The site you made money from was For Mature Audiences Only. It is our PPC SE that you can directly promote and be paid per click. If you have any other questions, hit me up on icq - 85868511.

I'm happy to go over them with you.

LOL Spanno

I'll try to help alleviate some of your confusion:

FMAO, For Mature Audiences Only, PPC Search Engine is where you can buy and/or sell traffic and get paid for every click (sometimes overpaid ;>).

ADS, Adult Dialer Solution, is where you can maximize international traffic monetization and earn highest industry rates.

C.H.A.M.P.S is where you can build entire sites and earn revenue from your promotion and the promotion of other webmasters. ( Presently there are 25 sites in CHAMPS, www.arschamps.com )

ARS4Real, are exclusive content reality sites offering pay per click and revenue share payout options.

For a more detailed overview, check out www.arsri.com.
