Title: Mellow ads accept advertisements from Bitcoin doubler websites
Post by: examplens on June 04, 2020, 09:25:56 PM
I find his ANN thread [ANN] Mellow Ads - simple, bitcoin advertising. Network/CPM/CPC. Free faucet! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1092698.1140) but he leave this forum for a long time 23 June 2016.
User: baztardo (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=310062)

I have an account on Mellow ads for a long time. Just logged in to check my account balance and I find ads of very suspicious investment websites. I guess, this network is dead or is facing bankruptcy, as far as I remember they were very restrictive in accepting new websites, now it seems things are little bit different.
I made a few screenshots:

they definitely can no longer be trusted. I also find a banner (https://ibb.co/kKrg1Md) with a link "fresh-mining.com/home.php?ref=mellow" to me this looks like their referral link.
When I click on this banner, Metamask warn me "Ethereum Phishing Detection"

Also websites like profitbit.club

Since the time when faucets went "down", one due to stopping of Google Ads and second due to the rise of bitcoin price above the three digit number, the crypto-niche Ad companies have faced problem in having a steady flow traffic and money.

baztardo has been away for 3years now. I dont think there will be any response from them after this long time, but people need to be careful as to what they are putting their money in. Opinion is divided among whether promoting a scam is equal to scamming, while I go for this option, many dont.

When I used their site back in 2016, I remember the "no Adult/HYIP/casino" while posting an ad, not sure if it is still applicable. Got some good number of referrals back then on some sites.

They have fallen to these Bitcoin doublers because they are paying a lot to advertise, but their reputation is also ruin, I remember I applied my sites there and they prefer showing their own ads than showing Hyip and MLM,but now they have changed direction, because of lack of good advertisers and they only have these doublers to advertiser to their network.

The funny part is that they literally allow those by hand:

From their ToS:
Quote
Advertisers

All adverts must be manually approved before they can be used in a Mellow Ads advertising campaign.
All adverts are checked for accuracy as well as compliance with moral and ethical norms of society.

The second point is even funnier. Maybe they can change their mind on this type of advertisement if people send them an email complaining: support@mellowads.com

Since it's not auto-approved we can safely say then that they are promoting scam projects, thereby they act like their marketing arm like a monitor to HYIP, they are conniving with these scam programs, they are not only losing their reputation but they might be charged for people who are going to lose money, if this goes on they will be out of business soon.
