If a sponsor over paid you by $500, will you tell them?
 

:1orglaugh

hypothetical question, ofcorse. :winkwink:

I would tell them yes.

Yup I would tell them... I don't want money I didn't earn

Once I switched from checks to wires and a sponsor paid me out using both methods for like 6 months. :)

Yes, staying honest is a good way to avoid negative karma. :)

you mean if his shaving script went down?

I've done it..and will do from now on as well.

yeah right guys! You will tell?

Honestly I probably wouldn't even notice. But if I did notice, yes I would tell them. They would find out eventually anyway, I believe in long term relationships, and I'm honest.

Easy call.

wait....you never told them??

Yup, I have in the past. Its a bitch when it happens too since accounting has no idea what they're paying for if it doesn't matching account receivables. It's happened to two companies now, in one case they nearly overpaid by 100%.

Of course.
If I get too much change back from the grocerystore and I notice it, I will let them know and return the excess money.

Now, if I find a wallet at the street, I return it.
If I find cash on the street, I'll spend it without thinking of course.

I've once got $100 more then my stats said and reported it. With $500 I would do the same.

sure why not, in the end honesty will be rewarded :2 cents:

it doesn't matter. WAMU deposited an extra 300 into my acct, it was gone a few days later.

Yes. Karma's a bitch.

Of course I would :)

ok I didn't read the title correctly

Hm, i thought no one would tell.. :1orglaugh

Well, I do believe in karma. If i get overpaid $500 today. I might get robbed for $1000 next week, so i guess i will tell too.

yes. I would tell them...But since I don't check stats on all of my sponsors, I would probably cash it before I even bothered to check them.

First thing I thought as well....
:Oh crap

Ok, well I got overpaid from a big mainstream company recently and I didn't even notice it untill a few days ago. I am still not sure if I am going to tell or not. It was in the 2K range. For some reason, they repaid a almost 8 month old invoice.

u should have made this an anonymous poll ;)

I'm not sure I'd even notice, if a sponsor overpaid me (or underpaid). I better pay closer attention!

I agree.

Yes - wouldn't even give it a second thought.

What if it was for $100,000 and you cashed it into your bank and nobody has said anything for 6 months it's just been sitting their?

definately
I prefer to be honest and earn my $$ and keep my respect
:2 cents: :thumbsup

I wonder which gfyer will have the balls to tell the truth? :1orglaugh

Depends on if I like the sponsor or not :D

I doubt I would notice personally.. but if I did I would say something.

got 2 exactly the same checks from a sponsor (a think last year), didn't bother telling them but I only cashed the one. I mean they two different checks for the eaxctly the same amount and for the same pay period...

YARGH! = Yeah

From a sponsor's end, this has happened before, and if an affiliate brings the mistake to light, we usually let him keep the extra for his honesty :)

Im with the group that says that they wouldnt notice - it did happen about 4 years ago (actually was little more than that) and didnt even realize it until they emailed me to tell me they were withholding it from my next check :)

If I had noticed I would have told them - just as I do when their checks bounce :1orglaugh

When they shave me for $500 I tell them so I guess I would tell them if they overpaid me.

fuck no

being honest pays off ;)

they are not gonna do that

yeah, i would
