Here are some examples of affiliate fraud include: #1 Putting many cookies on a visitor's browser (cookie stuffing) to increase the chances of earning a commission when the customer eventually makes a purchase. #2 Making fake IP addresses (IP spoofing) and clicking links on their site to generate fake traffic from their site to the merchant's portal. #3 Using VPNs or proxies to make it seem like a sale was made in a different country, even though they actually made the purchase themselves. #4 Entering the numbers of stolen or lost credit cards to make a transaction on the vendor's website.
