If the phone call bothered you that much, you just took a load off my mind. So thanks.
No hard feelings, we do things a certain way. People dont like it, we dont bother. |
Ruck, this doesn't make any sense. I'm sure you haven't prevented 1 fraudulent affiliate from getting in because of this tactic. I'm sure you have other tactics which are probably working.
I understand it this way.
1. You call up in a non-businesslike manner refusing to announce yourself.
2. You identify yourself and hang up like a prank caller.
3. You wait for the potential affiliate to call you back.
4. The affiliate may call you back and you have to use your standard fraud prevention measures to screen them.
There is no fraud prevention in this at all. It's rude at best and more importantly is a waste of everyone's time. If it made sense as fraud protection, you could justify it.
That being said, I should sign up with
C2M. I've heard only good things about you with the exception of your phone etiquette.
