This is the latest affiliate marketing scam. I just got approved for a program but the signup was unsolicited, as in, I did NOT apply!
Here's the email I received from Behave Media… a company I've never heard of before

HUH?
I've NEVER heard of these people before and certainly NEVER applied for an affiliate account with them.
So, signing me up for an affiliate account with them WITHOUT my request OR approval isn't exactly the way to gain my trust NOR my business.
Duh.
The point is … don't do business with people who just ‘find' you and sign you up. They have to make a case for why you would want to do business with them and get you to sign up of your own accord.
Anything else is just another affiliate marketing SCAM.
