Are People Robbing You Without A Gun?

By:Vern Anderson



For a while now I have been reading about

loss of sales commissions due to someone

stealing affiliate url's.

I never worried about it much as I use a

service that they cannot steal the download

link or change the nickname or whatever.

Well now there is a new game in town. Here

is the way that this one works.

Someone makes a purchase of one of your products

and immediately emails you that your download

link is broken and they want an immediate refund.

Not an email asking, how can I download my purchase

but I want a refund immediately.

They use an address half way around the world as

well as a hidden email address.

The last person to pull this on me, used these tactics

but I was able to check his email address and it was

yahoo.com.

If someone lives in a different country, yahoo adds

to the address like yahoo.com.uk

The thing that is happening is this, they purchase, ask

for an immediate refund while all the time they are

downloading the purchase.

Now here is the really good part. We all want to have

great customer service so we refund the money immediately

only to find out the credit card was a fraud.

Now they have your product, plus the money you refunded to

them and you are out your product plus the money they say

they paid you.

No matter how careful we are, there are those that will

find a way around it to get our products for nothing.

Wishing You Complete Success!
