Anti-Fraud Policy

LeadifyCPA has zero tolerance for fraud. This policy outlines what we consider fraudulent, how we detect it, and the consequences.

Last updated: January 1, 2025Zero Tolerance

⚠️ Zero Tolerance: Any form of fraudulent activity will result in immediate account termination, forfeiture of all pending and unpaid earnings, and may be reported to law enforcement authorities.

1. Our Commitment to Clean Traffic

LeadifyCPA is committed to operating a transparent, trustworthy performance marketing network. The integrity of our platform depends on all participants — publishers and advertisers alike — operating with honesty and full compliance with our policies.

We invest heavily in fraud detection technology and manual review processes to protect advertisers from invalid traffic and to protect honest publishers from competing with bad actors. Our anti-fraud systems run continuously and our compliance team reviews flagged accounts around the clock.

Why this matters: Fraud harms everyone on the network. Advertisers pay for traffic that doesn’t convert. Honest publishers earn less because advertisers reduce budgets. The entire ecosystem suffers. By maintaining strict anti-fraud standards, we protect the value of every campaign on our network.

2. What Is Fraud?

In the context of performance marketing, fraud refers to any deliberate action intended to generate illegitimate revenue by deceiving advertisers, LeadifyCPA, or end users. This includes but is not limited to:

Generating artificial clicks, leads, or conversions without genuine user intent

Misrepresenting traffic sources or quality to obtain better rates

Manipulating tracking systems to inflate reported performance

Deceiving end users into completing offers through misleading claims

Click Fraud

Generating fake clicks using bots, scripts, or paid click farms.

Lead Fraud

Submitting fake forms with false names, emails, or phone numbers.

Cookie Stuffing

Dropping tracking cookies on users without their interaction or knowledge.

Incentive Fraud

Paying or rewarding users to complete offers without advertiser consent.

3. Prohibited Activities

The following activities are strictly prohibited on the LeadifyCPA platform. Engaging in any of these will result in immediate account action:

3.1 Traffic Fraud

Using bots, scripts, or automated software to generate fake clicks or impressions

Hiring or using click farms, human or automated

Using browser extensions or toolbars that generate unauthorized clicks

Purchasing traffic from sources known to deliver bot or low-quality traffic

Redirecting irrelevant traffic to offers to inflate click counts

3.2 Conversion Fraud

Submitting fake lead forms with fabricated personal information

Self-converting or using friends/family to generate fake conversions

Using temporary email addresses or VoIP numbers to fake leads

Incentivizing users to complete offers without advertiser approval

Installing apps and immediately uninstalling them for install credit

3.3 Tracking Manipulation

Cookie stuffing — placing affiliate cookies on users who did not click your link

Modifying or tampering with tracking URLs or parameters

Using URL cloaking to hide true traffic sources

Any form of pixel or postback manipulation

3.4 Deceptive Advertising

Using false claims, fake endorsements, or misleading statements in creatives

Impersonating brands, celebrities, or news organizations

Creating fake news articles or fabricated testimonials

Making claims not approved by the advertiser

Bidding on advertiser brand terms without explicit permission

3.5 Account Abuse

Creating multiple accounts without written permission from LeadifyCPA

Sharing account credentials with third parties

Using another publisher's tracking links

Applying for campaigns under false pretenses

4. How We Detect Fraud

LeadifyCPA employs a multi-layered fraud detection system that operates continuously:

Automated traffic analysis: Real-time monitoring of click patterns, conversion rates, IP addresses, and device fingerprints

Bot detection technology: Integration with third-party fraud detection services to identify non-human traffic

Statistical anomaly detection: Algorithms flag unusual spikes in volume, conversion rates, or geographic patterns

Manual review: Our compliance team manually reviews flagged accounts and campaigns

Advertiser feedback: We work closely with advertisers to compare their backend data with our tracking data

IP and device analysis: Detection of datacenter IPs, known proxy servers, and suspicious device clusters

Accounts may be placed under temporary review at any time if our systems flag suspicious activity. During review, payouts may be held while the investigation is conducted.

5. Publisher Rules & Best Practices

All publishers must adhere to the following rules to maintain good standing on our network:

Only promote offers through traffic sources disclosed in your account

Do not use traffic sources that violate offer-specific restrictions

Ensure all landing pages comply with applicable advertising regulations

Do not make earnings claims or promises not authorized by the advertiser

Monitor your traffic quality regularly and report any anomalies to us

Immediately stop running an offer if you suspect fraud from your traffic sources

Keep all sub-IDs and traffic segmentation data available for audit

Publishers who proactively monitor and self-report traffic quality issues will be treated favourably compared to those where fraud is detected externally.

6. Advertiser Rules

Advertisers also have obligations under this Anti-Fraud Policy:

Provide accurate conversion data and do not manipulate postbacks to artificially reduce reported conversions

Report suspected fraud to LeadifyCPA promptly — do not hold back publisher payouts without notifying us

Do not use suspicious or fraudulent conversion data as leverage to avoid paying publishers

Ensure offer landing pages are legitimate, functional, and accurately represent the product

Do not approve fake or internally generated test conversions as real conversions

Advertisers found to be manipulating conversion data to withhold legitimate publisher earnings will face account suspension and may be subject to legal action.

7. Consequences of Fraud

The consequences for fraud violations are applied based on severity and intent:

Level 1 — Warning

Minor violations or first-time incidents with low impact. The publisher or advertiser receives a formal warning, a review period is initiated, and monitoring is increased. Payouts for the affected period may be held pending review.

Level 2 — Suspension

Repeated violations, moderate fraud, or incidents where fraudulent activity was not immediately disclosed. The account is suspended temporarily. Earnings from fraudulent conversions are forfeited. A plan to prevent future violations must be submitted for reinstatement.

Level 3 — Permanent Ban

Severe, intentional, or large-scale fraud. The account is permanently and immediately terminated. All pending and unpaid earnings are forfeited. The publisher or advertiser is blacklisted from the LeadifyCPA network, including any future accounts. Associated IP addresses and payment accounts may be flagged.

Legal Action

In cases of significant financial harm, LeadifyCPA reserves the right to pursue civil legal action to recover damages, and to report criminal fraud to the relevant law enforcement authorities.

Important: Forfeiture of earnings is not a fine or penalty — it is the return of money that was obtained fraudulently. Fraudulent conversions were never legitimate earnings to begin with.

8. Reporting Fraud
