Your best course of action is to report fraudsters on the boards and of course don't sell to them again. I also suggest requiring your clients to sign a CC form and fax/email it back to you.

Following this logic what you are saying is that a program owner should not care if the traffic sent by the affiliate was fraudulently obtained? So it is not the program owners concern how the affiliate got the traffic? If so then a program owner can't can a affiliate for spamming either. As far as your wallmart example, well you are comparing apples to oranges. If the supplier charged back on the manufacturerer then yeah Walmart would be a accesory to a felony if they did nothing. Once you charge back on a purchase that you recieved you are committing credit card fraud and theft. Walmart is not about to sell stolen property. Go buy a car on a credit card, charge it back and see how fast you get arrested for theft.
