I agreed to be a credit reference for a network that I do most of my traffic with. I really did not expect to get any calls or anything and this particular network had always treated me well, paid me early one time when I was in a pinch.
Anyway, next thing you know I get 2 calls a few weeks apart, NOT credit reference calls from 2 networks out of the blue trying to recruit me. Affiliatenetwork.com and Diablo Media said they "came across my site." Keep in mind my basic contact site ranks probably on the 10 millionth page for affiliate marketing. So I had to either applaud them for their thoroughness or have to call BS. I knew exactly how they found me so I pressed them both for the truth. Diablo passively admitted it on the phone after lying about how she found me and said it is "just business." Affiliatenetwork.com held their ground and kept with the lie.
I guess people lie in business. After all, we are in marketing. I just have a hard time working with a company that wants to start a relationship off on a lie.
