That's what NATS felt and look what happened to them.

What's happening is SOME NATS programs ARE notifying affiliates (Intense Cash being one of the larger gay ones). I THINK the others are afraid to. But, at the end of the day, word will get out. Those that take a proactive approach will benefit. Those that don't will have either lose trust (as NATS did) or have some serious explaining to do.

I wonder how many program owners have taken a course in risk management?

It only costs a few bucks a year to subscribe to these sevices but it sure does give you piece of mind.

I subscribed to one of those a few days ago.

How do I put a fraud alert on my three reports?

I signup under both my company and personal (if I choose to market on my own). Hard to explain why except to say that I am not the sole owner of my company. But I am the sole owner of stuff I do on the side. I have both a corp and a dba.
