Complaint Review: LimeLight CPA

LimeLight CPA is a complete ripoff, scam excuse of a cpa network.  Sam Melillo runs the show there, and apparently is quite adept at relieving hard working marketers commissions from them when payday comes around.  They will steal your money!  Don't do business with them.

I first started working with them a few months ago, and sent a very small amount of traffic to test the waters.  I was paid, on time, so after a while I felt comfortable and started pushing higher amounts of volume.  I got paid a few times, all relatively low increments, $100 - $300 per week.  Then I pitched in a decent level of volume and made just under $1,000 in a week.  Surprise, surprise, I didn't get paid.  I emailed twice, pinged Sam on Skype, and he never responded.  I emailed again and he told me that there were 'issues with my traffic'.

Our email exchange continued and he said that he would give me a report from the advertiser apparently outlining the problem with my traffic.  No report ever came, nor did my payment.  The next weeks payment was due, of course I didn't get that either.  Finally a 3rd week of traffic came unpaid and I said enough is enough.  You see LimeLightCPA pays weekly, but has like a two-week float.  I stopped sending traffic once they failed to pay me the first time.  But they owed me for two more weeks after that.  All in all, it was just under $2,000 that I did not get paid.  I never received a report from the advertiser, never received a payment, and never received a reply from Sam again.

Sam Melillo and LimeLight CPA are scammers, a total fraud network, who does the typical snatch-and-run move that has become so popular with smaller CPA networks these days. Since I know I am not getting the money that was owed to me, I felt the appropriate reaction should be to warn fellow marketers against doing business with these guys. LIMELIGHT CPA IS A SCAM.
