I received a check by mistake...

sort of related but i have received other peoples checks because the network's envelope machine must have got them stuck to mine under the fold on the envelope. i just put it back in the mail box because i am nice. i noticed though that their check was for almost the same amount as mine so they must print them out in monetary order. also i have been over paid about $5k from another network because i changed my bank details and they sent the same payment as the did to my old bank + the new payment. They never said anything to me but i am nice and told them about it and they didnt seem to care that much really, just goes to show that they deal with tons of money all the time.

So you got to keep it? Did you cash it?
 
Well if you do cash it and spend it, just don't be surprised if they want it back at some point.
 
why are you so sure the money is not for you? You checked your sales stats?

I dont need to spend it because I am doing ok but I was just thinking what i should do with it.

Ahh I dunno now, I might just go ahead and contact them about it.

Yeah, I have not even put up a link anywhere or anything.


Hey, what if I tell them about it but I still keep receiving the checks....:rofl:

just cash it.

if they give you trouble later on, just say you get all kind of checks every month and you didn`t notice it was send to you by mistake. you just send it out to your bank along with the other checks you got that month.

chances are they wont even notice either.

Cash it! The possible reasons you got the check are either
- A signup bonus of some sort
- Someone made a mistake on their affiliate link and put yours in while promoting
- They messed up and paid you by mistake

If its for a large amount, I would cash it, and hold on to the money for a while, to make sure the check wasnt cancelled or anything.
 
I find it highly unlikely that you didn't earn it somehow. More than likely someone signed up under your aff link. But anything's possible. I got a check about 5 years ago for $650 for one week when it should have been $65.

You never mentioned how much it is but if you're talking major money don't forget that you'll receive a 1099 from the network at years end.

(edit) my bad...just saw you're in the UK. If it's a US corp, fuck it, cash the fucker either way.

You have checked your stats? Someone else may have used your link by mistake. That be the case, you're entitled to the money. If that's the case, you should also search for your link. That way, you can monitor how long you're going to be getting these checks. You might even blow a niche up.
 
...what should I do or whats actually on my mind is what can THEY do? Should I keep shhtum about it?
Its an affiliate program I joined sometime ago but never got around to promoting with them....yet. So the other day I was surprised to recieve a check from them. I know I have definately not done an promoting with them, I have not even thrown up a website or an link anywhere even.

What you guys reckon? Keep quiet and keep the checks rolling in or will they hunt my ass down if they find out?

The money is yours to keep. It was an incentive to pursue your money path more aggressively with or without that
company. Feel free to tip me if you choose. :cool:
 
Anyone else notice that this thread is over a year old. So I am pretty sure that the op came to some sort of conclusion by now.

Well fuck me rigid. I will NEVER again bag on someone for shlagging up an old thread. Guilty as charged.
