[Scspamcop] Affiliate link spammers

[Kenneth Brody]

Okay, here's a quick (but not simple) question...

Most (if not all) of us here agree never to buy anything from a
spammer.  However, I occasionally get spam with affiliate links
to "legitimate" companies, some of which have products that
sound like I might be interested in.  (At least enough to look
into them further.)  The spam gets reported through the usual
channels, and if I have time, I will search for the proper
place to report the affiliate abuse.

However, what do you do about the original company?  If they
are legitimate, and have a product that you might buy had you
run across them through other means, would you do business
with them?
