Having said that, that has to be a growing concern among affiliates these days and some programs getting hit harder than they expected. It's nothing for a program to blow off someone who has a few sales or even scrub someone with a sale. I know for a fact one of the programs I promote has two sales from me yet my stats show 0. The reason I know they are two sales is because I bought them yet their support team claims I have not made a sale yet. If I don't get a resolution this week on the "error", I will definitely out them as well as provide my credit card receipt here on the forum to prove. But I guess they can just turn around and play the "fraud" card.

What can you really do about that? Nothing. Affiliates have to trust that program owners are being honest and are keeping up with their books. But I do bet there are some programs that play "fraud" card because there is no way an affiliate can dispute it or prove the program is lying and its easy cash especially in tough times.

That might make me a bitch but if you don't pay me for honest work and sales, be certain I'll get my money one way or another, even if it means me having to download your content and hock it myself. I don't ever steal unless stolen from.
