In affiliate marketing, it is rare to find an affiliate who has not fallen for the bait of scammers at least once. The affiliate marketing industry is highly profitable, and since individuals often collaborate without ever meeting in person, there is an abundance of scams in this industry.

Fake gurus offering unique, highly profitable campaigns with exaggerated returns on platforms like Telegram are just the tip of the iceberg. Advertising networks and affiliate networks also deceive unsuspecting beginners and vulnerable affiliates. Even the owners of websites connected to these networks are not exempt from engaging in fraudulent activities. In their pursuit of profit, they often sell low-quality traffic.
