---- Yahoo Publisher Putting my clients's YSM Ads on Porn Sites

So I was looking at some analytics today for my small bed and breakfast client in Anna Maria, FL - I noticed over 100 clicks from domains like "girl.com" "hotgirl.com" etc. in ONE MONTH! Intrigued as to why I was getting traffic from these sites I visited these domains and found them to be whole sites with YPN ads on them - no content, nothing else - just YPN ads.

So - I called YSM and asked them to make sure my YSM ads dont show up on these porn affiliate sites anymore and they stated "We cannot remove an advertiser from the publisher network" they "Dont have the capability." At which point I became annoyed and told them that this is click fraud and I was expecting a refund for these clicks....

They are "investigating" and will "let me know" if these clicks were "fraud." I'm not holding my breath -

Is there any recourse besides turning my YSM ads off?

Thanks
