Traffic Adept : are they honest?

What do you think about Traffic Adept? I've spent $250 on traffic for my free adult dating website and got zero signups. I'm not a newbie and I know no one guarantees any traffic conversions at all. However I tried Chocker and Traffic Holder and got 6 free joins just for $20. What I think is these guys do not monitor the selling websites (maybe they have cheating sellers sending faked traffic or something, no idea).

I've asked DamageX about it on his board but it seems he doesn't want to bring it on public, so he said my question means nothing as my TA account is suspended for fraud.
Here goes the story: I didn't make a payment myself. The payment came from my sponsor (DotSilver). I've been advertising adult dating websites for ages. I don't have a PayPal account, so I asked DamageX to let the DotSilver send my earnings directly to TA account. They said "No problem MAN, we can accept your payment!" and banned my account right after I suspected them for cheating.

I need your opinion. Do you trust these guys? Actually I don't care about the money, but hitbot traffic is not what I paid for and I'm not a scammer. Do you think its a good idea to block a Customers account as he's trying to voice his opinion on the board owned by a traffic broker?

Your account got suspended on March 12th, when the sender of the payment credited to your account initiated a chargeback due to an unauthorized transaction.

Here goes the story: I didn't make a payment myself. This payment came from my sponsor (DotSilver). I've been advertising adult dating websites for ages. I don't have a PayPal account, so I asked DamageX to let the DotSilver send my earnings directly to TA account. They said "No problem MAN!" So do you guys think DotSilvers are scammers? Lying bastards, I'll forward your reply to DotSilver and SKADate. Be sure you'll be mentioned on the GFY. These guys are scammers! They sent me faked traffic, they have suspended my account for fraud. BUT JESUS, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? DotSilver paid me, I've spent $250 on your fucking "traffic", GOT ZERO SIGNUPS. BUT NEVERMIND. YOU GUYS JUST BLOCK ME FOR SAYING THE TRUTH. ITS NOT BECAUSE YOU SUSPECT DOTSILVERS ARE SCAMMERS OR I'M, BUT ITS BECAUSE YOU'VE SENT ME FAKED TRAFFIC I BELIEVE. SO THE EASIEST WAY IS TO SAY: "MAN, YOU ARE FUCKING SCAMMER, YOUR FUCKING ACCOUNT IS SUSPENDED FOR FRAUD! WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU, BASTARD!" PLEASE CONTACT DOTSILVER AND SKADATE REGARDING MY PAYMENT OR I'LL GIVE YOU THE ADVERTISING YOU WON'T BELIEVE!
Your account got suspended on March 12th, when the sender of the payment credited to your account initiated a chargeback due to an unauthorized transaction. They also called me on the phone and enquired about who you were so they could track you down. I also have an e-mail from the e-mail addy connected with the PayPal account, where they asked me for your details.

I suggest you issue an apology FUCKING PRONTO. Then YOU take this up with your sponsor and ask THEM why they charged back.

I have logs and proof of the whole ordeal, starting with the communication with you via the TA message center and ending with the PayPal records and the e-mail from the guy.

This means that either YOU hacked into their account and made a payment, or the communication between you and them failed somewhere along the line.

Now, about your accusation of us sending you fake traffic, I expect you to either post proof or apologize. And if you want to continue this on GFY, sure thing, I'll play. Not too sure Skadate will be happy about you dragging them into this, but as I said, I'll play.

Your move, tough guy.
BTW, if this turns out to be a misunderstanding between you and them and they send us back the money they charged back, I will be more than happy to unlock your account and work with you to help you make the most of our traffic. But until then, this is a case of a fraudulent transaction and the account will remain closed.

I'm selling through them and they seem quite reliable but they don't always even reply to messages you send them and I had to message them to get my first payout a couple of days after requesting it, however I got the second payout in a couple of hours. So overall a good place for sellers and should be a decent place for buyers as well. I'm sure they have hitbot detection and it is obvious that they have returning buyers. However, Traffic Holder is better for both buyers and sellers because of their much lower cut and much higher traffic availability.
