For those who want to join this network, you have to think again, they suspend your account when you are about to get paid and they can’t provide real reasons and evidence. They only give reasons because the system detects traffic fraud even though the traffic I provided was very good and there was no fraud at all. very
Totally a SCAM!! I also have the same problem, they say my traffic is fraud when i almost reach the minimum payments. Warning for everyone, please don’t give money to them
