Introduction to Affiliate Marketing Fraud

Fraud is rampant in affiliate marketing, especially amongst high-ticket affiliate programs, and it's all because of fake buyers. But how do you create a fake buyer? Now, a disclaimer before I get too deep into how these methods work and how the fraud is actually carried out is that none of the advice on this channel is legal. It's all for entertainment purposes only.

Understanding Terms and Tools in Credit Card Fraud

The methods I'm describing here can get you put in jail. Utilizing these websites and selling credit card information is bad, folks. But to fully understand how this industry works, you're gonna need to know a few terms. The first is an acronym, CC, that stands for credit card. You'll see this a lot on some of these websites. CVV means the little three-digit code on the back of the credit card. And folks that are buying credit card information pay more to actually have the CBV. And 'fulls' means that you're not only getting the credit card and the CVB, but you're also getting the location of the user, their address, their phone number, their email, and every sort of piece of information even including what sort of device they typically log into the internet from. This goes for the most money.

Navigating Affiliate Networks and Fraudulent Activities

Later on, I'm going to talk about how the game is played out on affiliate networks, and for that, you'll need to know what an affiliate manager is. An affiliate manager is the representative that affiliate marketers work with in order to get faster payouts, bigger commissions, and scale. Now, scale is a term related to entrepreneurship, which is once you find a money-making method that works and that's printing you money and making you profits, you just duplicate it over and over and over again as many times as possible to just multiply your income.

The Cat and Mouse Game of Fraud Detection

Now, there's an entire industry of anti-fraud and security measures that companies use and different softwares people use, including myself, to make sure that fraud is detected beforehand. Maybe all of the sales are coming from the same IP address. Maybe the sales are using an American credit card, but they're being input in a location like Nigeria. Maybe the software I'm using has a database that knows that this user usually uses an iPhone, yet the credit card information being input is coming from an Android device that doesn't match up at all with the location of the user. Or maybe the credit card information is being input into the affiliate link from a VPN, a Virtual Private Network, such as NordVPN.

Earning and Circulation of Commissions in Fraudulent Activities

An average commission in affiliate marketing is 50%. But if you're promoting one of my products, we pay out $500 to $4,000 for a single commission. So obviously, fraud is something that's very much on my mind as I launch my high-ticket affiliate program that pays out thousands of dollars per sale in commissions. That's kind of the reason I made this video because this has been something I've been thinking about and I've been working against. But, back to how the fraud is done.
