  • Dishonest, does not pay webmasters

    Don't pay publishersI used their service from September 2022 to December 2022 and stopped using them because they did not pay me.When I was contacted by them, I asked if it was possible to register as an individual without a company and they guaranteed me that yes, there was no problem.So I put their code for several months, and as after more than 3 months I had not yet been paid, I removed the codes.They then contacted me and said that I had to put the codes back, that they guaranteed that they would pay me, that I just had to send them some documents.But after sending them the documents, I had to contact them several times to know where it was at and they told me that the documents were good, so I asked when they were going to make the payment and they finally answered me last month that I would be paid on April 6, 2023 for the 1st month, September 2022!I don't know if I can provide the names of the people I've been in contact with, but this is clearly theft and I have no assurance of ever getting paid.Such a reaction makes me think that they are bankrupt and can't pay anymore, so they rip off webmasters like me who don't have the possibility to create a business.The advertisers pay them and they don't have to pay anything to the webmasters who did the work.I am currently looking into how I can sue them.I have kept all the emails from the conversation, I guess I am not the only victim.Update: They said they were going to pay me on April 6th but as of April 11th they still haven't paid me.
