fraud has become a seriously large issue on many affiliate networks over the last few months. something a client of mine has seen: people are signing up as affiliates and using stolen credit cards to sign up and get paid hopefully before anyone notice and the chargeback rate goes through the roof. they were hit so hard by this that their chargeback rate went up 400% in less than 3 weeks in january. be very careful to protect yourself from fraud if you are running on an affiliate network. it used to be that they just had issues with having some sleazy people joining, now, there are issues with straight out criminal behaviour.
