Why Clickbank "hacking" is embarrassing you
A common one is modifying Clickbank sales data to try and get the best deal possible.
Yes, people actually teach this method in the hope that you can take advantage of a vendor's oversight.
Basically it's akin to walking into a shop and swapping a price tag from the box of tissues onto a Rolex, and trying to buy the Rolex for $2.99
I'm not going to go into details about it, because those that use it already know what it is, and there's no point in spreading more propaganda to those that don't know about it.
But here's the thing - Most serious Clickbank vendors now use protection against this kind of "hack".
So even if you swap the price tags, when you take it to the counter the download security system says "Hey, this isn't a box of tissues. It's a Rolex."
And then you just end up embarrassed for being caught, and have to make up some kind of on-the-spot excuse.
"Errr, there must be something wrong with your cash register. I want a refund!"
It doesn't happen terribly often for me anymore, but from time to time I get a little chuckle as someone tries to use this old theft technique, thinking they're getting a bargain, but then end up with an error message and have to make up some excuse to Clickbank why they need a refund.
So here's my community service announcement for the day: Don't try and scam vendors, as most serious ones will have implemented some download protection, and then you'll just have to ask for a refund and will probably be too embarrassed to buy the product correctly after the whole mess dies down.
I think someone may have spiked my coffee...I'm feeling awfully mellow...

PS. NO, this isn't about affiliate link swapping, or using your own links, it's about modifing actual sales data.
