As unsettling as it is, I don't think this would ever get anyones legitimate account canned. I'm guessing the massive chargebacks, ridiculous conversion rate or something would cause an investigation on that specific affiliate ID and the situation would be obvious to whoever checks it out.
The real loser here is the whole of the community. Fraud is one of these things that make it harder on payment processors and that cost trickles down to everyone. Hitting up Paxum is the best thing you can do though. Scammers identify opportunities like using Paxum to get paid, so every time you can avoid giving them a payout you're deterring that whole community from trying it again.
