    Moral question..

    If you signed up as an affiliate and checked your stats a few days later, realized a mistake had been made and they were over paying you by several times the signups.....

    Would you

    A) Keep quiet and spend the cash

    b) Keep the cash incase they ask for it back

    or..

    c) Tell them

    I couldn't possibly comment on whether this has happened to me ;)

      I'd tell them, they'd probably give you a bonus for your honesty.

              D) Sue them for mental distress for forcing you to endure such a difficult predicament
              I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
              I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                At the moment its only showing on my stats, i'm wondering if the check will actually arrive with that figure on.

                I know if a bank put money in your account by mistake, you have to pay it back by law. I'm just thinking if they realize later they could demand it back...

                          I really can't say, all i can say is I think what caused it was clicking the "activate account link 3 times" I couln't be bothered to work out where the stats page was, so I clicked the link on the email the first few times b4 bookmarking the proper url...


                          It seems to have signed me up 3 times with the same site, same referal number..

                              If you need the cash keep it cause an audit which all sponsors do will catch it.



                              If you actullay make money and like them tell them so they dont get fucked .


                              BTW if we are talking about a few hundred bucs go away if it several thousand spit it out

                                      Are you in the same country as them? If not, then I think you get away with it scot free - set yourself up a backup sponsor so you can bail if you need to, and then spend the money ;)

                                          I don't think it's as bad as shaving, i might wait and see if the check comes with that amount on... I really could do with the cash this month Jan 31st is the yearly tax return / 1st of 2 payments in the year here.

                                                I'd go with "C" they'll probably find out anyways.

                                                  Answer depends on how good your relationship with the sponsor is.
