£500 Stolen from a Charity That really needs it!

Options
Well, Just recently I made a website, To add links to and to give all the commissions to a chosen charity, We were accepted for tradedoubler,Cj.com And affilite future, and just recently buy.at and clixgalore, Well here is what has happened:

We signed up to affilitate future, first and added there banners, after a month we saw £500! we were jumping in joy at the response, so joined other affilitae networks, and hope soon we can have our own domain, but at the moment used a free web host, Then out of the blue, i was unable to log in, Guess what! They had closed our account as it had so called fraudlents transactions, I emailed them explaining that i wanted the money for charity, they said the account would stay closed :mad: I then started asking why and they said as there where 4-5 fraudlent transactions, i said very kindly that this has happened on other affiliate account and they simply get rid of the transactions, and suggested they do that, they said no, and i have sent some emails and still no reply

I dont know how they can sleep at night!

We got emails from kelkoo saying there where some fraudlent transaction, and they asked why there where so many, i said some peaple do get carryed away, as they think the more searches they do the money to charity!. kelkoo said ok, and are giving us commissions for the fraudlents ones too!

(sorry if this against the rules)

i would stay well clear of this network, i just need advice on what to do next :confused:

    hate to sound harsh but why should they pay out on a fraud?

    So you have been clicking the ads repeatedly or using one of those naughty applications that siomulates clicking to try get it to make money. For charity or not it's still wrong.

    Have to agree. It's not like it's free money they're giving away. It's a company's own money that's set aside for their advertising budget etc and they decide to use that on their own terms. Can you (OP) honestly say you've generated £500 worth of advertising for them that they can at least make back in sales? It may not be your fault people have acted fraudulently but they still have done nevertheless. It's hardly stealing money away from the charity when it's their money to begin with to do as they please.
