There was no intentional "scam" here... despite what some would like you to believe...
Heres what happened.....
We had Nats installed and decided to use the Nats membership system right away.
This required sending joins through Nats...
In CCBill admin there is a column "Referral Sales"... after the change this looked normal...
Every time an affiliate makes a sale, we get an email.. looked normal...
We don't payout on CCBill affiliates, CCBill does the payouts...
But what did happen was Nats is sending CCBill a bogus Refer ID..
and CCBill allows the refer id in the cookie to be ignored if this is done.
The membership control system has been rewritten, and the Meta Refresh has been removed.
Intentional "scam" no way.... system glitch yes..
And we are making up for it.
