I don't doubt that it does occur, I just find it hard to believe that it is as prolific as some affiliates seem to believe.
When CB started pushing users back to affiliates that queried specific users, I went through my stats thoroughly to see if there were any patterns for users who had spent over a certain amount.
Mass drop offs, sudden stop in spending etc etc etc
Did not find any users worth querying, again that's not to say it does not occur, just not as frequently as is talked about here.
I did notice long term spending for the majority of the higher spenders.
