I've asked people for a references before, but stats... that's a new one. I would only give up that info if the site/product being promoted was simply too awesome to pass up. So in most cases, it wouldn't happen.
I have an account on lots of programs, most nats programs. I've been denied into programs because I put my webmaster blog into the site field and not a site with porn on it. Even after explaining the site was a resource site, most still denied me. I don't really try with people like that though, no reason to promote an idiot.
The aff fraud has been getting more out of control though... I expect more programs directly contacting and interacting with new affiliates in the coming years, references, stats, something to prove they are real or those programs wont be able to survive the onslaught of fraud. Still lots of ways programs can do this, without taking the stats direction at first.
