I bought a service from total-traffic to give me 10000
UNIQUE visitors to my web site. What happened is a url (24.234.95.34) connects to my site and does a great number of PAGE LOADS that they count against the 10000. One UNIQUE visitor, always from the same url does this. I sent them 3 emails to their contact address with no reply. I have documented proof of this. Total-Traffic is a division of Uauthorize Corporation. I tried to contact Uauthorize, but their site does not respond. They have a guarantee of satisfaction but do not communicate. I asked in the emails if they could explain what is happening. I gave them multiple chances to relate their side of the story.

The clue is in this statement. It is impossible to guarantee traffic, no matter how it is acheived.

My advice would be to stick to the methods you control and can monitor; Google Adwords, Pay-Per-Click and other similar schemes by known companies.

i understand that...

but why would you want 10000 useless hits to your site?

Were they advertising that they would bring you 10,000 different individuals that actually look at your site.. like by clicking on banners or something?

I just don't get it I guess

Honestly, if you're dumb enough to sign up for a free traffic service, then you might as well just bear it. It's obviously a scam, and you fell for it. Did you just decide to click on the first spam banner you saw and sign up for their service?
