Unwanted traffic on Voluum from Propeller Ads (2)

---

Hi,

I just discovered I have been receiving unwanted traffic from Propeller Ads. It appears someone has created a malicious bot and it is repetitively accessing my Voluum Campaign URL.

The traffic on Propeller Ads have been paused (there was minimal spend for this placement)but the visit events in Voluum is still building up. As you can see from screenshot it is from one unique visitor ID and same placement. I took the following steps:

1) Changed Lander URL
2) Redirected the path in voluum so this campaign goes direct to google.

The issue I am having is that the visits are still increasing and I have no idea how to stop this. I have contacted Voluum but it is out office hours so was hoping someone here could assist as the events are increasing fast.......

Thanks

141267 visits now and counting.... Voluum staff haven't got back to me yet. I have archived the campaign but visits are still increasing. I'm thinking the only solution is for them to delete or change the Voluum campaign link.

Anyone experienced this before?
