I was a publisher with NetMargin my aff ID was CD5115, I made over $25k with them in the month of May. I was complimented on my traffic and my account manager asked me to do the same promotion in the coming months. Now this payment was pending till the Month of August I was suppose to receive it on June 15th but I never did. Firstly my account manager was not in touch with me even when I emailed him he use to reply after 2 days. I was patient but then in July I asked him when can I get my payment for May. The AM told me that yes we will send your payment on August 15th, so I started the promotion again as I had a word from them that the payment would be released on that day. Then when I followed up on August 13th or so, my AM told me that yes it is going out on 15th, even on 15th when I asked him he said yes please check your bank account. I checked it and there was nothing, no payment came in. After that the AM went to Summit and Leads con and never replied me on aim, email or voice mails. I thought he might be busy so I waited more and then when he got back from the shows he told me we are now evaluating your traffic, I told him that it is May’s promotion it took you so long to evaluate? he said yes it takes a long time, I didn’t care much and carried on with the promotion further. Then after few days the AM tells me your traffic was not good, I didn’t believe that as I knew my traffic cannot ever be bad. I asked the AM that if my traffic is bad then you should have a report on it from the advertisers. Because every publisher in this industry know that if the traffic is bad we get a report from the advertisers and publishers would study on it. Now my AM didn’t send me any report, I asked him many times and he did not. After that he stopped responding. Moreover he insulted me.

Now if you read the whole thing you can see that he did mention once that the payment is out but it wasn’t. What I am trying to say here is they took my payment from the advertiser and didn’t pay me and kept it with themselves. Because if the advertisers would not have paid them, they would have a report on my traffic, which is ALWAYS provided by the advertisers. But I did not get any report plus not payment. I would request all my brother publishers to stay away from this company because the losses I had to bear because of NETMARGIN were horrible.

I am writing this to give a head up to all the publishers in the industry.

thank you,

These guys scam affiliates by waiting till you accumulate enough money in your account and accuse you of fraud so as to keep your earnings.

Their tracking platform (hasoffers) is used by a lot of fly by night affiliate networks and is a good indicator that you are not dealing with an established network.

Any attempt to reach them by phone or email to resolve any disputes is a futile effort. Don’t believe me. Try calling them.

Stay away from these scammers
