Keyword Advertising Edge Fraudulent Advertising for Banner Ads westlake village California

 I was contacted by Rick Stevenson regarding banner ad advertising for my business. I was told that they have over 90 million computers across the country which had their "plugin " installed. This plugin (which is just malware) would allow anyone searching for my particular keyword (which I had to pay $2500 for in advance and would have sole ownership of for one year) to see a large banner ad at the top of the screen which when clicked on would bring the customer to my site. They also promised "at least 1500" hits to my site per month, which I would be able to monitor from their site using their statistics page. Once the money was paid, and everything was up and running, I started monitoring the hits form their site. I noticed the hits seemed to be just randomly generated. I compared it to the numbers which google Analytics showed, and they were drastically different. All in all, this company is a COMPLETE ripoff.
