[Linda Buquet]

Wow, Teli glad you told us. Good lesson to learn.

FYI different situation - but a few months ago I was getting welcome emails for programs I didn't join. It was a huge affiliate fraud ring from China joining progrms pretending to be ME. They were using all my whois info pretending they were Linda from 5 Star. They were even using one of my email addresses that I didn't think people knew about.

Then of course they would change the payto address right before the check was due. A few accounts they forgot to change and I got commission for programs I never had even heard of. I sent back the checks and alerted all the companies. There were hundreds of affiliate programs and networks involved and these guys were signing up with lots of other peoples names not just mine.

I also tried to get the FBI invloved but got nowhere. Ther REALLY bad thing was that some merchants that don't know who I am thought it was really ME making the fraudulent sales. It was a huge mess.
