[FIXED] Issue Resolved

[UPDATE] Hello guys, AdMaven has responded. The issue is RESOLVED. Thanks for everyone who contributed

Hi Guys,
I'm pretty new here, just signed up earlier today.
I have a slight problem that I would love to have your input on.

I signed up for an advertiser account on AdMaven some weeks back and tested out a campaign there for a Nutra offer from AdCombo, had the campaign run for a few days without any conversion so I paused.
I decided to try out an MMO offer fromWarriorPlus, two different offers actually and so created two different ad campaigns with the respective AD IDs yesterday on Admaven
910269
910249
Admaven doesn't usually approve campaigns immediately, so I received a notification at exactly 10:07 am my time today that my ADS had been approved, and when I checked my Admaven advertiser dashboard about 5 minutes later I was pretty shocked to see that $33.99 had been spent already
within a space of 5 minutes for two different AD campaigns, I selected a $10 daily budget for each campaign.

Campaign 1 910269: Had an ad spend of $13.19
Campaign 2 910249: Had an ad spend of $23.39
So I proceeded to check my tracking software (I use Bemob) to test for traffic quality and for both campaigns I discovered that over 90% of the traffic had empty referrers or referring domains. And neither did I receive any hits to my offer page. I did some further digging and the reports weren't encouraging at all. I sent an email to AdMaven advertiser support, but I haven't received any feedback yet. I have also added screenshots from my tracking software for proof.

Just wondering if anyone has had the same issue with AdMaven or any other Ad network. Judging from the WACKY traffic they sent to me, i would love to have a refund

My traffic from ad-maven has few bots
Are you setting the browser versions?
Only the newest versions
You need to examine your server access log and not redirect through a tracker to make a real comparison.

Ad-maven uses the token values
{pubfeed} Publisher Feed ID
{subid} Publisher Feed Subid

that is a cloaking of the real referrer --most RTB based DSPs (read:ad networks do this in some format)
The HTTP1.1 is 99% a bot
