Affiliate Managers - I DID NOT Sign Up for Your Program

Help, I'm on the other end of Affiliate Fraud. Just got calls from XY7 and Neverblue Affiliate ad networks to verify that I signed up for their programs. Someone is signing up for programs using all my personal info and web sites. I have their IP address. It does not feel good being on THIS end of affiliate fraud and I'm ****** someone is using my good name and reputation fraudulently.

Don't know if they could do something fraudulent that I could get blamed for.
They used my name, web site, mailing address, everything. Hey maybe I'll get some checks!!! (Kidding!) These guys do this and then after they get approved change the address. I know there was a big ring of affiliates from China doing this awhile back.

Lucky for me these 2 companies call every applicant to be sure the app is real. The guy from XY7 said they get 3-4 fraud apps a day. But I know a TON of programs that don't take the time to do this level of verification. Who knows how many programs this fraudster signed up for using my name and web site? Not sure what to do next. What can/should I do???

Thanks for letting me vent.
