accidently got double payout

**signupdamnit** · 07-12-2012, 12:56 PM

If under $100 I don't say anything. That's what they get for making me chase them to get paid. If over $100 I tell them after they make the next payment on time.

The rule of thumb here is to always take the high road and do the right thing.

I believe in Karma.

It's $100

Do they ever catch such a small mistake like that and ask for it back.

**u-Bob** · 07-12-2012, 01:00 PM

Give it back, it's their money.

Who cares about how they would handle the situation? Let them do as you do.

+1

happened to me more than once and i am always dumb enuff to inform them

thats the price you pay for hating dishonesty

**wehateporn** · 07-12-2012, 01:45 PM

The programs that would give you a double-payment are generally the better ones, so give it back. The ones you wouldn't give it back to are the ones who wouldn't give you a double-payment in the first place

**2MuchMark** · 07-12-2012, 01:54 PM

Do the right thing and let them know. It will show up in their accounting sooner or later anyway and they will just debit the overpayment from the next payout as they should.

**klinton** · 07-12-2012, 01:55 PM

they will discover that and turns on shaving in your account....

you will tell them and they will turn off shaving

I would tell them

**Freaky_Akula** · 07-12-2012, 02:01 PM

Pay them back.

**duk75** · 07-12-2012, 02:05 PM

If you wanted to keep it, you just ruined your chance, by posting that here. Probably they have some account here and know your affiliate code. They will detect you and make something.

Exactly.

Good business is good business. Handle yourself accordingly

**HomeFry** · 07-12-2012, 02:07 PM

Sell it back to them for $90.

**V_RocKs** · 07-12-2012, 02:30 PM

I had somebody pay me $1600 too much 2 months ago. They just deducted it from last months payment. I took the bonus to mean I should go camping and fishing... which I did. Had a great time.

**Klen** · 07-12-2012, 02:45 PM

No point to bother,sooner or later they will notice it and simply deduct from your next payment.

**grumpy** · 07-12-2012, 04:13 PM

Look at it the other way, what would you like to happen? Its all about ethics.

**Fat Panda** · 07-12-2012, 04:35 PM

what program?

**alias** · 07-12-2012, 04:53 PM

If it is a check they might cancel it, wouldn't be worth looking bad at the bank and return fees. I would let them know.

**Denny** · 07-12-2012, 04:55 PM

Yep, what payment method?

**Spunky** · 07-12-2012, 04:59 PM

Free cheeseburgers for everybody!

**Darkhorse** · 07-12-2012, 05:04 PM

Honesty is the best policy, just hit the accounts department and tell them. You never know they may give you a few bucks, or raise your payouts for being honest.

It's non adult, It's a hosting service referral.

It was paid with Paypal

**Bird** · 07-12-2012, 05:26 PM

In all honesty I think I'm just going to hush hush about it, It's only a $100, If one day they figure it out, so be it. I have a $100 bucks I'll just send it back when they ask.

I only send referrals to this hosting service 3-4 times a year and will continue to do so, I already have another $50 commission coming. Seriously in the situation if I told them about it and i'm sure because of their mistake they would probably avoid any extra transactions and just debit the next payout.

Seriously, It's not like this huge program is worried about $100 bucks.

**bigluv** · 07-12-2012, 05:32 PM

I've let them know and returned the double payment immediately to the tune of ~ $800 or so.

Which hosting company, if it's certified I would keep it because they have no morals or customer service and totally fucked me over in a surly manner recently.

Whether its $100 or $1000 it should have been brought to their attention. By reading a thread such as this would make me think twice about working with someone who would do such.

**fuzebox** · 07-12-2012, 06:03 PM

I would definitely let them know. The fact that you even have to ask speaks to your character

Quoted For Truth

The reason you started this thread instead of staying quiet about it is because you KNOW it is wrong to keep money that is not yours.

**ShoeBox** · 07-12-2012, 06:25 PM

you sir sound like an idiot for asking , if you want to be in good standing with people you would give it back , now people here know the kind of true person you are, you should have just kept it off this board

**L-Pink** · 07-12-2012, 06:30 PM

Do unto others and all that ... The high road always makes me feel better about myself. Tell them to take it out of your next payment.

**Bird** · 07-12-2012, 06:44 PM

Oh, hahaha

I just logged in to see what the commission was all about and it was a renewal commission. Completely different from the double payment. Cool looks like Im getting paid every uly as long as the accounts keep getting renewed.

**Pink Misfit** · 07-12-2012, 06:59 PM

Mhmmm sure it is.

**Mr Pheer** · 07-12-2012, 09:04 PM

AFF overpaid me $8100 a couple of weeks ago.
