Ok, so how do you program owners block a fraudulent affilliate from cascading a sale to another biller?
We just got another bad affiliate from Epoch. Epoch blocked the affiliate but the sales are still cascading through CCBill. CCbill can not block by epoch affiliate numbers, so the sales go through.
I don't understand why Epoch would still send the hits of a bad affiliate to our sites instead of redirecting them away.
What do you program owners do you stop this cascading mess?

Thats actually quite sneaky on Epochs part, basically Epoch is still allowing fraudulent sales to go through, but they arent bothered because its CCBill who are going to end up getting the chargebacks.

Can't you delete the affiliate? Am I missing something?
Well it sounds like Epoch has blocked/deleted the affiliate, from processing fraudulent sales through them.Quote:

Exactly, Epoch is saying CCBill should block it. Pass the buck.Quote:

Epoch risk management said "It actually will help you to see if either company is accepting transactions from this reseller." when I asked about deleting.

That's so messed up. You have no protection from fraud with your current setup. With Verotel I can delete an affiliate, very simple.Quote:

No one reads my posts. :dolt:Quote:

I would think that they would block the traffic instead of pushing it off to another biller
Their silence on the boards about this topic is defining.
