Hi guys,

Since you all know more about affiliate programs than I, I wanted to see what you thought about the program I found at http://www.merchantleads.us/details.html (that's the page that lists details of their affiliate program)

Does this appear to be legit?

The reason I'm asking is because I know of a business that only accepts cash and checks and it's irritating that I cannot use my debit card there.

I thought this might be something that would be good for them and I could also make $100 at the same time.

Feedback would be appreciated.

My opinion, no. The site doesn't look very legit. Personally i would not trust them.

I may be wrong, but that looks ultra dodgy to me. I wouldn`t touch it with a barge pole.

Regards Howard

It doesn't look legit

Are these opinions based on the "look" of the site only, or the referral program itself?

The website was only registered on the 27/1/07 and if you type merchantleads.us into Google, you only get 1 hit. In Yahoo you get two hits, including this thread, so no real info is available to suggest whether it`s legit or not.

The lack of information available and the way the site looks, does seem dodgy to me, I have no way of knowing for sure, but I just don`t like the look or feel of it.

Regards Howard

I don't necessarily think it is a scam, i think i just think there are a lot of catches. It's kind of like those "free ps3" pop ups. Yeh, you might eventually get a free ps3 after you give them your credit card#, social security #, DOB, name, Address, life's savings, youngest child, inheritance. Ok, i'm exaggerating, but the site looks sketchy.
