What Blockchain Ads claims
Blockchain Ads claims it is a crypto advertising network. By the name, it looks like a crypto ad company. I am both a publisher and an advertiser. I have more than 50 high traffic websites. Around 70 percent of my traffic is organic. Most of my websites are in entertainment category, so daily page views can be very high.
The Double-Sided Scam: Publishers & Advertisers
Blockchain-Ads is not just targeting publishers; they are also trapping advertisers. They specifically target the Crypto Industry because it is harder to trace and recover funds there.
1. The Advertiser Scam: Fake Case Studies
On their Twitter (X), LinkedIn, and official website, Blockchain-Ads shows "Self-Made" case studies. These look very professional, but my research shows they are fake. They publish charts and ROI figures that are not verified by any third party.
They target funded startups, taking thousands of USDT upfront for "premium traffic" that often turns out to be bot clicks or redirects from entertainment sites (like mine) that have zero interest in crypto.
2. How my entertainment websites were approved very easily
Big crypto ad networks usually reject entertainment websites. But here, manager @milabca approved 4 of my sites instantly. Why? Because they need any traffic to show "clicks" to the advertisers they just scammed.
3. Payment Delays & The "Bot Traffic" Excuse
Blockchain-ads is a crypto ad network. I applied with 4 of my websites. Only one website was crypto related, the other 3 were entertainment. They approved all 4 websites. I clearly told my account manager from the first day to take my Google Analytics access and check the traffic properly before approving. But he did not check anything and just approved the sites. I added their ads and impressions started coming. CPM was good and everything looked fine. After that, I requested a small payment of 290 dollars. They said “tomorrow”, then “next week”, and they kept changing the date again and again. 9 days passed, and I started feeling something is wrong. At that time I had 650+ dollars balance in my account. I requested that too. Both payments were pending. But after I requested the 650 dollars, suddenly my account manager became active. He released the first 290 dollars but rejected the 650 dollars. That moment I felt 50% sure they are a scam. Still, I took the risk and continued running their ads. After some time I had 3944+ dollars available. Then I requested 1500 dollars. After that request, my account manager stopped replying. He saw my Telegram messages but gave no reply. After around 15 days he replied and said I will get payment on the last day of the month. I said okay. Then after some days he sent a message saying your one website has fake traffic. I gave them full proof and even gave Google Analytics access again. He removed his access and disappeared for 9 days. Then I got an email saying your traffic has repeated IPs. What nonsense is this? Entertainment websites always have returning visitors with the same IP. One person can visit 100 times in one day. They don’t even know this basic thing. I am doing blogging since 2013. When I started, Blockchain-ads and these other crypto ad networks didn’t even exist. They are showing crypto ads on entertainment sites, and then saying repeated IPs are not allowed. If repeated IPs are not allowed then why is this not written in their policy? And why don’t they use an ad system like AdSense that shows ads only to unique IPs? The truth is: This company earns thousands of dollars from publisher traffic first, and then stops paying by giving fake reasons. From my 3944 dollars, they gave only 1800 and kept 2000+ dollars. And now they are not replying at all."
The Logical Flaw: If my traffic was "Bot," why did they pay me 1,873 USDT out of 3,946 USDT? They paid half as a "Shut Up Fee" so I wouldn't post this review. They kept more than $2,000 for themselves.
4. Manipulated Reputation
Don't believe their 5-star Trustpilot reviews. Many agencies sell paid reviews. They flood their profile with fake ratings whenever a real victim posts a complaint.
