    Anyone Else Receive a W9 Form Email From BangBros?

    I got one, although it struck me as odd since I've already been receiving checks from Bang Bros, every period for 4 years straight.

    I know a lot of sponsors require signed W9 forms, but did anyone else get one of those emails from "Lucy"? Is that a legit rep for Bang Bros?

    Hey Jordan, are you out there? I would appreciate your comments.

    the only time I ever respond to a W9 request is when it comes in the mail with my check, then I send it back

    requesting a W9 over email is fucking stupid, with all the identity thieves out there, people should learn by now that email is the best place to request personal info

        I got one last year. I had to ask Jordan about it too, mine was legit and I'll assume yours is too. Seemed pretty weird but I did it and the checks started coming as normal.

                Lets see, Bangbros only has about 100,000 affiliates. Where are all the real webmasters at?

                        Yeah, I got one tonight at 4PM ... I was wondering because I didn't get paid for the last two pay periods and the email said they are 'holding all payments'.. So I just faxed it. Hopefully they will send me my money on the 24th :/

                            Yeah, same here. My email was from "Jorge", but the rep contact in the email was "Lucy".

                                    The contact inside of mine was Jorge and it had an attached PDF with my real name.

                                    I ignored it like I do all the others. I have yet to run across a sponsor that halted payment over this.

                                      I just sent an email to bangbros from the email they have listed in the affiliate member section so lets see and wait for a reply. I wont send a fax until i get a reply from someone from there.

                                        Sure, until you get caught and charged with tax evasion. Great advice... stick to posting.

                                            Got one too. Thought is was suspecious for some reason. Anyone know if it's really legit? I'm holding off sending until someone from Bang Bros. clears this shit up.

                                              I think if this many Bang Bros affiliates got the same email, it is probaby legit.

                                                I would still like some confirmation from the Bang Bros guys before I send off my SS #

                                                          While we are on the subject of tax information, why do sponsors outside of the US require American webmasters to submit their SS# or tax ID?

                                                                                    I don't like to fill and sign any kind of paper related to laws or taxes in other countries than mine unless there is a really good reason to do it. If too much troubles i prefer to just move on, forget about the money they owe me and remove all my links to Bangbros and use other sponsors that won't require me this kind of stuff.

                                                                                    I'm a bit paranoid about signing and sending stuff that is required by email without any explanation, even more if i don't know what to fill in some of the fields that are using USA laws terms that i'm not familiar with.

                                                                                      I know a lot of sponsors require signed W9 forms, but did anyone else get one of those emails from "Lucy"? Is that a legit rep for Bang Bros?
