It's too bad there isn't some sort of a clearing house to rat out dishonest affiliate merchants. Maybe the companies like ClickBank and CJ, etc., should be doing this? At least have a grievance process. It might make them think twice before pulling a fast one. It's starting to make me wonder if having your own products isn't a viable solution to the problem, lot's of people are suggesting this is the way to go - keep all the profits for yourself, and so on. I realize this carries its own baggage, but I'm curious what your thoughts are on the subject. Regards, Bob Hi Ros,

It seems to me, of course I could be wrong, but if you have the proof that this SOB has been so underhanded, why not inform others of what he is doing. After all, who wants to be an affiliate of this kind of jerk? This may be showing my level of ignorance, but how could you end up in court? He (or she) KNOWS what he has done is wrong and that it is his bad, not yours. I hate these kind of sneaky shysters.

Let's get some balls and name names here instead of pussy footing around trying to be politically correct. Putting the names of people like this"up in lights" will go a long way to shutting them down and prevent others from pulling the same crap.

Hello Doc,

As above, I’d dearly love to name names… and although I’d love to take this peon down in court, he’s not worth my (or anyone else’s) time or energy.

What goes around comes around. His own bad karma will seal his fate sooner or later.

Cheers,
Ros

Hmm… interesting deduction – and I’d love to tell you who it was but unfortunately, the best I can do is to caution you to CHECK YOUR AFFILIATE links CAREFULLY!

Hello Sandy,

Nope, nothing other (so far) than cautioning affiliates to check their links. Please also see my comment about karma below. :-)
