Exploitative Ads
-
I’ve received a report from one of my commenters that they were taken advantage of by an ad/poll that was posted by wordpress on my blog page.
His testimony is as follows:
“Robert, OT
ON Feb 20, I responded to a survey tht popped up after my comment. I gave you a favorable response and another popup offered free prizes. I chose the flashlight and not the pen. I received both and billed for about $25. The light did not work and I complained about the pen I did not select. I was refunded $19.99 and requested a replacement flashlight. I received it and it did not work. Another call to the supplier said I have to add 3 AAA batteries. The flashlight cannot fit 3 batteries.
Today, I was hit with the same survey and did not reply. I see the whole deal is a fraud. The light was offered as a $55 product. It is not. Your commenters should be advised not to respond to the survey.”
My commenter feels that we was defrauded by your ad service.

Hi there,
Can you please ask from your commenter to send you a screenshot of that ad by using a tool like https://snag.gy/ and then post the link here?
I want to make sure that this ad originated from one of our ad partners and block them. There’s also the possibility that their web browser has been infected with malware that displays scammy ads.
