When a program becomes as popular as Acme People Search has become, unfortunately that also means more people who try to cheat the program. Just like it means more people who cry scam when they don't succeed. With success comes a much bigger target for the bad guys. It's the same reason Microsoft's Windows operating system is targeted by more hackers than any other operating system: It's more popular than all the other operating systems.
The proof board shows the 125 most recent payments that included guaranteed commissions of at least $125 - including any payments to cheats. Unfortunately, all of the APS accounts below were paid referral fees. Below are the fake names that were provided when creating the APS accounts, the (real?) names per PayPal, the PayPal transaction IDs and amounts, and the APS usernames. The APS accounts have all been disabled, but I updated their APS accounts with their PayPal names so at least the fake names no longer appear on the proof board.

I don't want to tilt my hand by revealing too many details here. But I will say that these are just some examples of larger schemes to defraud Acme People Search. I'm aware of the problem, and many changes will be made shortly to eliminate such fraud. It's all a function of the massive growth and popularity of APS, but I won't let it continue.
