Has anyone else gotten this? Is it legit?
 
i ve got also
being skeptical about it though
 
Got it too and they would only pay once it was received.
 
Any affiliate program paying out money for business expenses is supposed to have a W9 on hand when they send the payment. Otherwise, technically, they should be paying sales tax. If an ad network hasn't taken your SSN, EIN, or required you to fill out a W-9 and are based in the US, they are not in compliance with tax law.

I'm sure others out there can add to this or even make a correction or two - but that is the main reason they are asking you to fill it out. I've used them for over 3 years now, cashed out xx,xxx through their affiliate network and there's absolutely nothing about HM anyone should be skeptical over. Just my opinion based on my own experience.
