Are you saying they should be allowed to do that? As there is no come back on the dodgy affiliate if affiliate programmes allow people to sign up using fake details, as if/when they get caught they will just start again, no risk.
I have about 50 affiliate accounts, many of them have been active for 5+ years, i can honestly say I have never known any of my details be transferred outside where I registered, maybe I've just been lucky.
