There’s nothing to a shame of. Customers still buying it at the end. The question is who will customers buy from. We just took the extra steps to make sure that we get the share of money for the effort of marketing it.

If you are an affiliate and you aren’t cloaking your links, you are leaving money on the table.

Thanks for pointing this out. I think for any useful application, there will be people taking advantage on abusing it. I don’t have the answer to overcome this, just that we need to be alert and be careful with our bank accounts and paypal accounts. My advice is to trust no incoming emails. Some emails that try to trick your info will looks exactly just the same as the original email from your bank or paypal.

I see that phishers seem to be using this feature to hide and divert the linkage. Example: a copy of a bank home page with a hotlink to a disguised location where data are collected for phishing.
Is there a way to overcome this abuse of your worthy application ??
