Mary, that's the whole point.
A member is ALREADY a member.
Then they see a paid to sign up offer for the program that they are already a member of. In order to get credited, they have to foward a confirmation letter, and it needs to be dated to show that they "just" joined.
They could change dates in the old confirm letter of course, but maybe they no longer have it. (Actually, since I have never requested the resend of a confirm letter, I don't know how the dates would show)
At any rate, they need to forward a confirmation letter to the person who is paying for referrals so they can get the money.
Most ptr's do not show the names of their downlines, just a total number, so there is not much way to prove whether that member really signed up under him/her(the payer).
Some people simply join again using a different email address and send the confirm letter for that. They really are joining under the payer, but of course they are also cheating by creating duplicate accounts.
Actually the confirm your email addy is coded with the upline, in the link the program generates, (coded so others can't sign up others). The welcome letter just has user name and password.
And Ian we do have pasword recovery, as well people who have not finished the process can just start from the beginning if they lost the first one.
So still not sure why a honest user needs that confirmation letter resent a month after the fact
