Just tell the dude to make sure he gets the right email, he probably thinks he can make a custom join that suits his traffic better than your default and with 160 joins per month on average you can believe that he has tested this previously to know for sure.
The idiots in here claiming "absolutely fraud" are showing their naivety at the multitude of ways affiliates generate sales.

Well theres "fraud" a word people toss around pretty lightly and then theres credit card fraud. Joins aren't easy to get and if I could do it alone I wouldn't have affiliates at all.
I don't tolerate credit card fraud from anyone for any reason in any amount. But we both know that's not the end of the story.
For me when dealing with creative affiliates, chatters, black hats etc. the criteria is this:
What you provide is joins, and that's what I pay for, because in the short term thats all I can measure - but its not what I want.
I want customers. I don't have any way to tell if your joins will become my customers until its all said and done. So I give it some time then evaluate. If I am getting customers we are fine. If it's just joins thats not what I want, and I'll let you find a program that wants your joins.
