Banned from PussyCash

Well I must say that this is a first in adult. The first time I've ever been banned from an affiliate program. When logging into Stats Remote, I noticed it wasn't picking up the Pussy Cash stats. I went to check and saw this:

Your account has been terminated due to the suspect that some of the transactions made through your account in our affiliation program were done in bad faith and might involve fraudulent activity.
Please note that your account has been terminated and all of your earnings have been forfeited!!
We demand that you cease all of you activities that are connected to our sites and/or program, in any way and that you immediately stop promoting our sites in any way.

I'm just curious if this is a common occurence as I'm somewhat new to cams and very new to Pussy Cash.

I work with some of the larger programs and as many of you know send strictly SE traffic. The traffic I was sending to ImLive came from PPC and came from a cam comparision site. We were testing the conversion rates of a few sponsors before moving them into our network. The traffic we were sending was fairly minimal, but targeted, and I think maybe we had sent a couple sales this week.

I have no problem if a company doesn't want our traffic if they feel it doesn't convert or is not right for their program. I can't think of a reason why cam search traffic would be bad, but every site has their choice. A simple e-mail stating our traffic didn't fit their program would have been fine. Heck, I'd have even been fine if they moved us to Revshare (always willing to test things out).

What I don't like is being accused of fraud. We spend over $100k in PPC a month, send quality traffic that converts well to a lot of sponsors here, and have never once done anything fraudulent (probably wouldn't even know how). We're a US based company that does a lot of mainstream and adult business. My partner speaks regularly at the top search engine shows and has a great reputation in the industry. I am just amazed to be banned from a program and accused of fraud after sending maybe 500 clicks without an explanation.

Nonetheless, not drama. Just wondering if this is common.
