You could have checked this out yourself and if it was true, called out the program. but you post this nonsense where your not even sure what it means or if the guy is telling the truth
thats why your an moron, you post some dribble about a program and not name them

Ok since you dont get it I will try to help you a bit.
It was not on icq and about some ccbill program.
It was a message on a board by the owner of that ccbill program.
Yes most affiliate systems can do this. Whats your point? Mine is that it is disturbing. Even though it might now be new.
Tell me how I can check this myself? Sales went up he says...past tense.
Checking it my own code shows up as hidden referer so I must assume he is not doing it at this moment or his attempt failed...
Clicks are at the same level but clicks get counted at an earlier stage. I can not get back in time and see what he did.
Its disturbing cause this means I might have to check all ccbill sites I deal with (and of other programs) manually and regularly now.
With naming them I am waiting for the results of the ccbill investigation. Only they will be able to see for sure what happened.
I am not saying ccbill is a fraud. I am saying that this kind of fraud seems to be disturbingly easy.
