Some affiliates use fraud leads to try and make easy money. So in turn networks and advertisers alike shave/scrub your leads because they too want to make more money, or they may be forced to shave/scrub because leads don't back out well for the advertiser. If the advertiser doesn't make money, he will no longer advertise, the CPA companies will lose their clients, and finally affiliates will have no work to do.
