they have to be stolen, were you not reading?
2-3 weeks after they joined, they would call the call center and claim fraud, that they never made the transaction or do a chargeback.

now anyone who runs an affiliate program knows most of these lame tricks, you get your buddies to join a site under your ID, then after you get your check, you have them call and threaten a chargeback if they do not get a refund - or they just do a chargeback.

Do I have proof of all this, yes I do or I would not have said anything. Since I have my own merchant account that I run transactions through, anytime the call center gets a call, they put it on the notes for me what the cust. said. After several of these, I run down through ALL the signups for the last 2 months for these guys by IP address and notice that ALL their signups were called in as fraud and that they all their customers used the same free email service.

I don't think it's a great idea to be posting personal information of your (scamming) clients.
