Today I got an email from a merchant. He made a "test purchase" on his home computer and he noticed that it was credited to SAVINGS.COM. He's upset about it and has asked that I investigate.

I'm assuming that the merchant has installed a toolbar or has been infected by malware and that that is redirecting the sale.

Does anyone know of SAVINGS.COM being involved in this sort of thing? Who if anyone should we remove from our program and with what excuse?

Thanks for the help!

It's great that a Merchant has taken the time to resource this area. I believe that program managers should do spot checks on some of their affilate sites. I am going to ask some of my merchants to do some test puchases especially those that don't generate any sales.
