Anti-Fraud Policy

Effective date: 11-10-2026 · Last updated: 11-10-2026

In short: Advertisers pay for real people. We filter fake traffic, do not pay for it, and may suspend accounts that send it.

1. Why this policy exists

Advertisers pay LinkzMint for genuine human attention, and publishers are paid from that money. Fake or manipulated traffic harms both. This policy explains what we treat as invalid traffic and what happens when we find it. It forms part of the Publisher Agreement and Advertiser Terms.

2. What counts as invalid traffic

Clicks, visits or impressions generated by bots, scripts, emulators, automated tools or hidden frames.
Repeated clicks or visits from the same person, device, network or IP address beyond normal use.
Clicks by the publisher, their friends or family, or anyone paid or rewarded to click.
Traffic from click farms, traffic exchanges, incentivised or forced-click schemes, and pop-ups or auto-redirects the visitor did not choose.
Traffic using proxies, VPNs, data-centre addresses or spoofed locations to hide its real origin or country.
Traffic from outside the countries we serve, or that does not match the targeting of the campaign.
Traffic from properties that were not verified, are not owned by the publisher or breach our Acceptable Use Policy.
Any pattern that is artificially high compared with the audience size you declared.

3. How we check

We use automated rules, rate limits, bot challenges, device and network signals, time-on-page and conversion patterns, and manual review. We may review historical traffic at any time. We do not publish every signal, so that fraudsters cannot work around it.

4. What happens when we find it

The invalid traffic is not paid to the publisher and is not charged to the advertiser, or is credited back.
Pending or already credited earnings from that traffic may be reversed.
For mild or first-time cases we may issue a warning and ask you to fix the issue.
For serious or repeated cases we may limit earning, hold payouts, suspend or terminate the account and, as far as the law permits, withhold earnings linked to the fraud.
Where fraud is deliberate we may report it to the relevant authorities and recover losses by lawful means.

5. Your responsibilities

Place links only where people choose to click them.
Do not click your own links or ads, or ask others to.
Tell us if you notice unusual spikes in traffic that you did not cause.
Keep your account secure so that nobody else can use it to send fake traffic.

6. Reviews and appeals

If you think traffic was wrongly marked invalid, write to support@linkzmint.xyz within 14 days with your account email, links and dates, and any information to show that the traffic was genuine. We will review it and reply. Complaints that are still unresolved can go to our Grievance Officer, Sureshkumar P, admin@linkzmint.xyz, who acknowledges within 24 hours and aims to resolve within 15 days.

7. Changes

We may update this policy as fraud methods change. Continued use after an update means you accept it.
