Greg, i must admit it looks a little strange... but that proves nothing. Buck up and pay the guy what you owe him, save yourself the hassle. I'm sure in the long run this thread will cost SICCash alot more than $55. Most people cancel trials, I'm surprized you were able to come to the conclusion that this was "fraud" by looking at that small amount of traffic.

I submit to plateman's link site regularly and i've got qutie a few sales off it over the last few months. I'm pretty sure he has better things to do than rip a few signups off from SICCash.

You can check the credit card info can't you? Unless it's his credit card, or the joins are charging back you really don't have any justification to withhold his funds.

I've had stats that look like that in the past, in fact i've been 1:1 - 1:10 with alot of sponsors when I first start, especially if i've got a very targetted banner or link that doesnt send a whole lot of traffic.

If there is nobody out there, that's a lot of real estate going to waste!

I get flagged for possible fraud all the time with similar stats like that. The way I have things setup, I generaly have single hits trickling into sponsor sites all the time. So this period I get a sale on site 1:1, and the warning bells go off on their scrubs. After I calmly explain to them to check the historical for more than 1 period, it generally works out to a more normal 1:200-300 range.
