My husband and I were interested in obtaining website traffic. We ran across Quality Traffic Supply and thought we found the right place. We purchsed via a 3rd party agency 180.00 dollars worth of traffic. The campaign we purchased was to direct 25,000 hits to our site in a month.
We became concerned when we never received a verification email of our purchase and when we had not heard from the company. The website states you will hear from an individual in 24 to 72 hrs that never happened. The site also has a 24 hr customer service logo that is not functional. The logo is a front to make you feel comfortable and by his scam.
We eventuallly recevied a email sometime later promising to start our campaing the next day and that we would receive the login info the verify our stats and see that they are doing their job. That email only got sent when i started to complain to several forums the companies owner is a part of and when I found his phone number on Whois.com. Luckily, some of the info was correct.
He is a known scammer and has scammed several 100 people in the past 5 years with his online business promises.
Please help me stop him and get my money back.

Why would you purchase traffic in itself. You must be selling a product or service to have an interest in ncreased traffic. Why don’t you engage in advertising that directs qualified buyers to your site not just random traffic?

So many people have been scammed buying traffic. Obviously people want a quick fix and it looks attractive.
There are still other easy ways to get traffic without buying it. It may take a bit of your time - but the traffic will be relevant.
The last thing you want is traffic that is not interested in your product. This will just waste your bandwidth.
It is the old business principle of targeting your customers - the ones that are ready to buy - not the ones that are not interested.

How do they “direct” traffic to your website? I agree about getting interested people not random people, but I’m curious about how that is done. I don’t think that anything, however, justifies the scam and I hope you can get your money back and stop him, somehow.
Good luck!

Web traffic can be directed by numerous means. Banner links, web rings, have you ever clicked on something and gone to a different place. All this is scammy and produces very little interest in your web site.
