Affiliate fraud
Affiliate fraud is any attempt to earn commissions through illegitimate means — such as fake conversions, stolen credit, or self-dealing — rather than genuine referrals.
Common forms include self-referrals (an affiliate buying through their own link), cookie stuffing, coupon leakage to deal sites, bot-driven clicks, and traffic from stolen or disposable identities.
Programs defend against it with risk scoring on signals like velocity, duplicate identities, VPN use and disposable emails, flagging suspicious activity for review before commissions are paid.
affixo scores risk from real identity signals and raises alerts for review rather than auto-banning, so genuine partners are not caught in the net.
