I sent them $10 and set my bids at a simple .01 a click. Currently burning at a rate of about a click every 20 secs. I'm advertising with Yahoo! and Google and have never experience the traffic I'm supposedly getting here. Check my stats, all coming from the same place. Complete, and absolute SCAM. Glad I just sent them $10 and not more! I went to request a refund and got the message:
How can I request a refund?
brainfox.com does not issue refunds under any circumstances, as stated in our terms and conditions.
Thanks!
Keith

it may not be their fault, it may be a spammer who has a brainfox affiliate account?
sounds fishy though...

I had a pretty similar experience with brainfox. I'm not sure, but it looked like a lot of foreign IP's.

Well thanks for the warning! Might not be BrainFox's fault (although I've had no experience of the company), have you tried contacting them? They might not even know this is happening, if they do then you're probably right!

Forget them, bunch of idiots.
I invested $50 with them about a year ago, fake stats, artificial hits etc. was all I got.
I did manage to talk to one of them on the telephone about it but they swept me away like a piece of garbage, findology.com is another one to avoid at all costs.

ppc can be a bit risky, because you can get selfish competitors who have auto click programmes which keep clicking your link so that it uses up your whole ppc budget alot of webmasters have had problems with this i would stick to banner advertising on sites of the same genre as yours or try to find some free advertisng space

I sent them numerous e-mails with my concerns with no response at all. They are a complete scam, and you will get no response from a person with your concerns. I've had good luck with Yahoo! and Google. Trying abcsearch.com now as well. Can't tell if I'm getting sales from them or the other 2, but can say my sales have increased since I starting using them.
