Ever wish you’d have a Terminator in your back pocket to help you destroy affiliate fraud?
Of course you do!
Because affiliate fraud often ends up smooshilating *your* bottom line (because your affiliate commissions go byebye).
I remember 2 years ago or so, some nefarious shower-scum-come-to-life-as-decayed-human-beans would buy my $97 product that showed up in the *middle* of my funnels.
Nothing else, just that.
Thing is, the email address used was 140% different than the *name* of the person who bought!!
So I would track down the owner of the credit card on FB and let them know their card had been compromised…
… and proactively contacted the vendor platform and let them know to ban the affiliate in question (of course, I presented the screenshots as proof). It definitely helped reduce the affiliate fraud.
Anywhos,

And in our space, W+ has some excellent tools available like their W+ Wallet (all earnings go there… and after a set period of time, people can send said earnings directly to their bank, their payment processor, etc.etc.etc.). You can learn more about that over at www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQGeR9KP61Q ).
