I've been very agreeable over the years with adult companies who asked for my info and they attached wrong info to my social. No more.

That was my thought as well. Over the years I have sold banners, links and posts and I have bought traffic, banners and links etc and I have never had anyone ask me for a W9 before buying something from me. I can see it I was getting hired to do a job for them as a contractor because I do that kind of stuff all the time, but if you bought an ad spot on google you wouldn't ask them for a W9.
It caught me a little off guard.
