Alright everyone is jumping to conclusions and looking for a public response from AEBN. Here is the deal.
After 9 years in the business we had to clean some house. We have marked some accounts as "Do Not Pay". It is very likely that the accounts effected won't belong to hardly anyone reading this post. If you are currently or have in the past sent traffic to AEBN your account is probably fine.
The reason the accounts have been set not to pay is as follows.
- We are getting the checks back in the mail
- We have affiliates from nine years ago that we don't have any contact information for at all
- We have not received a W-9 after repeat attempts
- The affiliate has passed away, was abducted by a UFO or otherwise just vanished and we can't find 'em.
- Affiliate is attempting affiliate fraud
All members will still be associated with your account. We are not taking members or deleting affiliate accounts, We are simply putting them in a do not pay status until whatever various issue can be resolved. We are telling people they won't be paid and why. However, every case is unique and should be handled with your rep. We're not going to deal with each case on this or any other board.
Notice there are lots of people looking for answers in this thread this week but not alot of people saying they have been effected. Our phones are not blowing up with people calling and asking questions. What we are doing will not likely effect you.
We haven't changed our Terms Of Service. We are just exercising them. You have nothing to worry about as long as you're not dead, tried to fraud us, have given us a W-9, etc.
If you have moved and have not let us know of any change of address info, we are not going to hire a private investigator to track you down or put your face on a milk carton. Be a responsible business person.
Hope this settles the hysteria. Our overzealous competitors can put their cake and party hats down now
I appologize for any confusion one of our new reps might have caused.
