1). Can Nine referals made by me called FRAUD? what about that money?
2). If they have a legitimate reason to boot me out, why are they not answering emails.
3). Is Chitika Fraud detection technology better then Adsense, since Google doesn't seem to find any problems with my traffic ? (I can provide my logs and challenge anybody to prove them FRAUD.)
4). I was able to login to my account after getting the Suspension Notice for two days,but after lodging my help ticket it was blocked too WHY ?
Now. here is what I also found found while searching for "Chitika+Fraud" on Google
PHP Code:
http://chitikasucks.wordpress.com/2006/01/02/chitika-sucks-again 
I have $2000+ with them, Leave aside the money earned from refrals.
Since, I am a Non-US publishers what can I Do ?
I hope Publisher Community do something to stop this, I am clueleas what can be done but something needs to be done, Coz this company is still into buisness.

I think it's wrong for a company to withdrawal the cash from referrals. since most of those referrals were generated from either link placement on sites or even word of mouth.

It is easy to judge chitika after hearing one side of the story, as far as I know, It is a well reputed company and there is no much complains about they doing fraud.

I think that the guy should at least try to contact chitika and ask them what really happened. It's easy to judge other people when basing only with one side of the story.

Maybe you are right about that. Chitikas fraud detection programme may be simply better than google. We dont even know what they are making of this all.

That really sucks when things like that happen.
I've never heard anyone complain about Chitika before though.
I've only heard good stuff.
