There are precautions you can take when you sign up with a new unknown sponsor. Taking these steps will prevent you from signing up with potentially unreliable sponsors.
1. Read the TOS, save them or print them
2. Contact the affiliate via e-mail or IM
3. Ask questions, lots of them... and it they unresponsive that means they don't care and then why should you?
I've got burned in the past by shady programs, and I even once hand collected a sponsor in Seattle in 1998, just so happened I was there on business and I succeeded. When I went to their office, all of the staff where on drugs, you could just see it in their eyes... I would not go so far to recommend hand collection (specially the American once!) you might get shot *
