How to Stay Green

[marbleeye]

The number of RED referrals are rising. The number of Lunch Theft posts are rising. Paying or being paid on green is the preferred way of conducting a cash trade for a referral. There is always the chance that a referral will have there account place on hold. If you are paying on green take proper steps to en-sure that your referrals will not break the freebie sites Terms of Service. If you are the one being paid for the referral, it is also your responsibilty to stay green after you become green. See below.


MESSAGE TO NEW MEMBERS / VETS: please read

DO NOT SIGN UP ON A PARTICULAR SITE MORE THEN ONCE! If you signup on a particular freesite more then once YOU WILL GO RED! Meaning if you signup on zeropricetags under taterbaby's referral link you can not signup on zeropricetags under dtaylor5’s referral link. Most sites will give you an error if you try and do this but in the cases where they don’t YOU WILL GO RED! Now if you signup on zeropricetags for paypeck you can signup on gifts.zeropricetags for HeavenOnEarth. I know this may be a little confusing. But if you are not sure of something just ask don't ever assume.

USE VALID INFORMATION WHEN REGISTERING ON A FREESITE AND SIGNING UP FOR OFFERS! If you do not give valid name, email address, phone number, street address, credit card information etc, this is considered fraud and YOU WILL GO RED and, no P.O. boxes.

DO NOT FAIL PHONE VERIFICATION Some sites have adopted a phone verification system. This system was put in place to combat fraud. If you fail or try and cheat the phone verification YOU WILL GO RED. Phone verification is usually done after registering on a site but before completing offers. You are not allowed to use a VOIP (voice over IP) telephone number for verification. A land line phone number is preferred for phone verification. If you only have a cell phone, you can use this but you should put in a support ticket with the freesite and inform them that your number being used is a cell number.

DO NOT SIGNUP FOR A PARTICULAR OFFER MORE THEN ONCE! If you do this it is considered offer fraud and YOU WILL GO RED! If you are not sure about an offer and you think it may be the same offer you did on another site, play it safe and don’t signup for the offer. Now I know some offers are confusing. Take the Auction Monster, Online business kits etc. for example. If you are not sure you can signup for a particular offer because you did a similar offer on another site, your best bet would be to place a support ticket with the site and ask them.

DO NOT USE PRE-PAID CREDITor PRE-PAID DEBIT CARDS WHEN COMPLETING OFFERS The use of pre-paid credt/debit cards when signing up for offers is prohibited by most affiliates. Some freesites even spell out that the use of pre-paid credit/debit cards are a violation of the sites TOS (terms of service). If you do use pre-paid credit/debit cards YOU COULD GO RED. This restriction was put into place due to massive frauding of offers. Most of the time if you signup for an offer trying to use a pre-paid card your order will be denied or your card will be denied. In cases where you were able to sign up for an offer with a pre-paid card, you will more then likely not receive credit, have credit revoked, or YOU WILL GO RED .

DO NOT CANCEL AN OFFER IMMEDIATELY AFTER SIGNING UP! This goes along with the rule: only do offers that you are interested in. If the offer is for a 10 day trial membership, try out the membership if you do not care for it then it is okay to cancel. If you cancel an Offer the same day you signed up for it YOU WILL GO RED!

DO NOT ACCESS YOUR FREESITE ACCOUNTS FROM A PUBLIC INTERNET PORTAL! If you log on to your freesite account from a Starbucks, Panera Bread, Public library etc, this will cause a duplicate IP address access issue on the freesite and YOU WILL GO RED! Please keep all your referral trading on one PC from one location. Do not do freesite referral trading from home and work. This is one that I learned the hard way early on.

DO NOT USE AOL TO ACCESS YOUR FREESITES! This goes along with the one above. This will cause a duplicate IP address issue and YOU WILL GO RED! AOL uses a proxies to access the internet. There are other ISPs that use proxies and you will have the same result. Usually dialup ISPs use proxies. If you are not sure call your ISP and find out. You can go to this link and see if a proxy is detected Proxy Test I wouldn’t even use an AOL email address when registering on a freesite. Open another free email account yahoo, hotmail etc.

DO NOT TELL REFERRALS WHAT OFFERS TO DO! This is considered walking a referral through and is a violation of all freesites T.O.S. If you are caught doing this YOU WILL GO RED and so will your referral. This is a little tougher to track but if you do it you will get caught.

HAVING MISMATCHED INFORMATION WHEN REGISTERING ON A FREESITE: If the information you provide when registering on a freesite is not consistent with information gathered by the freesite such as information entered when signing up for an offer, paypal information, any ID verification sent to the site, etc. YOU MIGHT GO RED. I say might because this is up to the particular freesite. Freesites need to protect themselves from fraud. A lot of freesites are requiring ID verification to allow you to work and order from the site. So if there is any mismatching information on your freesite account this looks suspicious to the freesite and they may put you on hold. Usually a support ticket or and email that clears up any suspicious information will get an account taken off of hold. But, it is no guarantee

All these above are the major ways you can have you freesite accounts placed on hold. If a freesite has suspiscion that you are being fraudulent in any way YOU WILL GO RED! So read the freesite’s Terms of Service and abide by it. If you do make a mistake and you do have your account placed on hold, the first thing you should do is pay back the money if you were paid on green.


MESSAGE TO SCAMMERS: you can make more money doing this legitimately then you can by scamming honest green paying traders out of $20 here and there. If you are just doing it for kicks because you think its fun, you won’t think its fun when I track you down and kick your ass.
