Sponsor just called me asking for person who doesn't work here

Preacher is spot on...

This is a major problem, facilitated by EPassporte and slack sponsors..

I got accused of fraud on another board in the last few months because some scamming cunt had signed up with my whois details to a program, and a gmail addy and an EPass account.

My opinion is that EPass needs to lift their game.. and sponsors need to be a bit more proactive(eg: no fucking free email addresses), or this problem will be a continuing one.

That's one of the reasons auto approve programs are a bad idea, imho.

As an affiliate, I get that when you sign up, you want to do what you want to do right then, and having to wait for approval can be annoying. But as an affiliate manager, I see lots of reasons to take some of the steps that we do...ie, application must either have a domain based email or the whois has to match.

Nothing will stop fraud entirely, but there are measures sponsors can take to help cut down on it.
