Aside from what I already mentioned, the sales sent through the account are using stolen CC's.

Yeah, thats what I thought. foxfire8 owns a ton of domains, including the dumpstersluts. I believe they are mailers.

I have a few ideas (possibly good ideas for NATS?). Could you set up a phone verification system such as what Craigslist and Google uses to verify accounts? The new affiliate gets a callback which reads off a 3 to 5 digit number. The affiliate has to enter the number to verify it. Perhaps the same thing except using snail mail might work to verify the postal address as well (prior to sending the first payment via any payment method). At least you will know they are probably located where they say they are and it will make it harder for the same assholes to hit programs over and over again. As an affiliate I would not consider any of the above to be intrusive at all.

Good ideas, but I think a phone verification system would be too costly #1, and #2 it could be circumvented just like they do with Craigslist. PimpRoll has the right idea by personally approving each account, which we do. They are quite a bit larger than I am though, so they see a lot more fraud attempts I am sure.
