My brother has made over $600 giving fake lead to ebay as an affiliate through commission junction.
he just made multiple email address and gave fake info when registering as an ebay user after clicking his own ad on his friend’s computer.
I’m thinking about doing the same thing since I need the money and he didn’t get caught.
Any advice?
You sure can — UNTIL you get caught.
Don’t ever think for one minute that companies, particularly those managed by big companies such as Commission Junction, can get away with fraud. They are NOT stupid and tracks clicks, conversions, sales and whatnot — while keeping watch over signs of fraud.
I know of several folks who stupidly thought they can con affiliate programs and advertising programs such as CJ and Google Adsense, among others, until they were kicked out of the program and made to pay the “earnings” they received.
You may be desperate for money, but “earning” money through fraudulent means is not the way to do it.
i don’t think anyone here would say good idea. I personally feel all that fraud generally just hits us in the end. The Internet hwy sure gets crappy because this type of work. WHERE DO YOU THINK SPAMMERS COME FROM?
You said you need the money…..Well get a freakin’ Honest job!!
I am a business owner. online. I am offended that you would actually come to the place where other business owners come and ask us if we think it would be okay to “steal” from other businesses. If you do this, I hope you do get caught.
