So I had the public dispute with Bee Ads which I think prompted this investigation really and after speaking privately via PM I can confirm everything posted here. Mainly that

  • it was a misunderstanding.
  • My account funds were not "stolen" by Bee Ads, and have been returned and I have been reinstated with a new account.
  • It was believed that I was posting these phising/malicious adverts/links - and I was not - it looks like my account was compromised and used.

Furthermore, I am actually most impressed with the preventative measures:

1) There is secure https access to bee-ads.com now implemented.
2) Auto "reset password" function added (linked to users email accounts so its impossible to re-gain access to bee-ads unless you are owner of the email). If you feel there is any suspicious activity going on with your account just change your password.
3) All new advertisements have to be manually validated before becoming functional. We are aware it could be inconvenient for some advertisers but it is simply necessary measure we had to take now. No more malicious ads leading to scam websites will be possible to put via bee-ads.com.  

Myself, I dont mind that everything has to be manually approved if it means that I'm never going to have 1. any porn/adult ads on my site 2. any malicious phishing scams.

Thanks for the explanation and the attention to detail!
