Google's Latest SCAM!They push a really "generous" in installments to get advertisers to walk money... only to invalidate it aft they spent thousands of dollars and waited much than a month.
There is nary measurement I cognize of to entreaty this and you evidently can't crawl backmost your walk erstwhile its gone. This is the 2nd advertiser relationship which had the in installments invalidated complete a period later - who apt would not person walk the first $3200 if not for the credit.
Ginny Marvin The measurement this in installments is marketed and setup is PURE THEFT from advertisers. I had a marque caller advertiser customer get it invalidated because my billing floor plan from my mcc setup the relationship for them initially. Another that I'm not judge why... but Asking advertisers to walk $3200 and than not giving them the in installments - is ROBBING THE ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM BLIND.
Every advertiser successful those auctions are being bid up and charged because others are competing for the impressions and often overpaying because they position it for illustration half disconnected spending for the first $6400.
THIS IS WRONG! PLEASE STOP THESE EVIL PRACTICES aliases GIVE ADVERTISERS A WAY TO APPEAL THESE INVALIDATED CREDIT SCAMS!!!
