A Scamming Affiliate or Not
Our site has been online since 2003 now, but we only started our affiliate program recently. Affiliates are slowish to sign up but the ones that have are mostly doing pretty well. Last week our top affiliate cleared $244.22 on smallish amount of traffic. Most of our affiliates are doing anywhere from $24 - $100 per wek, some less with very little traffic. Hopefully more affiliates will sign up this week.
Now the problem is that two days ago we had an affiliate sign up, he got a sale on his very first hit and then proceeded to get 2 more sales off 4 hits, all sales were for the $99.95 membership. When we have a sign up on the first hit we always watch - his sign up ration it seems pretty amazing on such a few hits, we have had affiliates getting a sale on their first 2 or 3 hits and then another a few hits later but then it does normally pan out to a decent ratio.
Now the next weird part is that none of the names used for passwords have accessed the site, normally once a sign up is cleared they log on immeditely, but not here.....not one log onto the site since they joined. The countries for sign up are France and one US.
Another strange issue is that all the membership usernames start with the same letter.
Our affiliate program is run through Epoch and his payout he set at $200, he has nearly reached that already in only 2 days. Not one single hit from him today for day 3.
What are your thoughts on this, now don't get us wrong we would love it if it is genuine, but would also hate to have it all charged back once he has done his draw.
What would be the best way to find out if it is a scam or genuine. He is from Morocco is that strange for that sign up ratio. He is the only affiliate we have from that part of the world, most others are Europe, UK, US and Canada.
Any advice given in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
