Just curious would it look suspicious if i were to have 300+ referrals sign up at once now bare in mind these are real referrals between my Facebook and Twitter account i know i could easily get that in a day or two just curious if the admins here would think they are fake or something fishy was going on and ban me.
-
Yes it would look suspicious if you had that many sign up in a short period and it's likely that some would be fraudulent signups
-
Sounds fishy to me too.
-
its hard to get people to do It after the sign up

How is it that you know you could easily get that in a day or two? That sounds more fishy to me than anything else. You may have exposure to X-hundred potential referrals, but knowing that at least 300 will sign up in a 48 hour span sounds extremely fishy to me. Just sayin'

Ok sorry i guess i should have put that as more of a hypothetical question there is no way to guarantee that many would sign up in that short of a time frame i am not a politician my influence is not that great lol just wondering hypothetically if that were the case if it would look fishy but i have my answer thank you for your feedback.

No it would not look suspicious. I doubt you could easily get over 300 referrals in ONE day though. You are kidding yourself. They would know if it were fake. Because the people have to provide their name, address, email, confirm email and that is too much for one person to do. Plus they can see where the log in is coming from.

lol. I agree. I know for a fact that a ton of people have seen my link. And I also am pretty sure that there have been some join this site because of my link. But they signed up on their own as in came to the site and signed up and did not sign up thru my personal link. It is easier to get your link viewed than it is to get people to sign up for the site. And then to participate is even harder. Most people say they don't have time. You have to find people who are unemployed and desperate for money. And prove to them, like me, that you have made over $1200 on the site. And convince them you did not spend money or give a CC number. And convince them it is not a scam.
I have a friend I referred to another site and her stupid boyfriend kept telling her it is a scam. Even though I showed her on my phone how much I had been paid in the short time I had been a member. She did join but waited several months to do the first thing so I did not get the $5 for referring her. She had to do it within 5 days. She made 50 cents and then has never came back to the site or app actually.

Yea i also seen that microtasking through a site like microworkers or minijobs for sign ups wouldn't work either under the terms and conditions it's fine i make a relatively good income through online activities it was just a question always looking for more ways to expand my daily income and i have seen a lot of veteran members on here who have earned quite a bit but they have been members for years but every little bit helps. :)

I think it is easy to have them sign up but if they are not active, then you are not getting anything in return. I have a hard time referring any one person perhaps maybe someone can share their success story about their referrals and are they still active?
-
Even if you have a big reach you would have to find a bunch of people that have never had an account and/or share an internet connection with another member
-
I think it will be very suspicious. Also they need to be active so you can also reap the rewards every time they cash out. I have never been able to refer a single person. I am not very good at referrals Maybe when I get comfortable then I will do it.

I don't think finding people who have never had a account would be that hard. I had never heard of this site until I was searching for ways to make money online - after I lost my job. And most people I talk to have never heard of this site or actually being paid to do surveys. I don't get the sharing an internet connection though. Your computer will have a unique IP address. And a lot of people access the internet from a public place like coffee shops and McDonald's. And the likely hood of 2 people accessing a site like this from a public connection could be pretty good. SO, I am wondering if as long as you use a different computer and have a different address if it would be okay. I know people who live next door (who are family) and have wifi and share the internet connection.
I def do not believe that anyone can get 300 plus referrals in ONE day though. It doesn't matter how many connections you have on Facebook and Twitter. You can have 150,000 followers but that does not mean you can get 300 to actually sign up. Unless you lie and over promote the site. Now if you do that and FC finds out then you can be deleted and banned from the site.
Although FC has banners ON THIS SITE that are THEIRS that say you can make thousands of dollars a day. So they are violating their own terms. lol.

Getting referrals is not easy. And I think if they sign up and confirm their email and do one survey you get $3. Then it is $5 every time they cash out. But if you had 300 that just done the first part that would be $900 but the OP may not realize if you make over $600 you have to pay income tax on it. And FC will not pay you until you provide I assume a SS# and proof of who you are. I have never made that much so I am not sure how it works. But I know some one was asking about the 1099 and when it would be mailed out back in January.
Having said that I use to follow a guy that has like half a million followers or subscribers to his newsletter. And he could probably get that many people to sign up under his link very easily. His newsletter is about how to get free stuff and make money online.

I'm assuming the person has a huge following and thinks they can get that many referrals in a short time they market how to make money online. Those type of followers are more likely to have already researched sites and maybe signed up then just forgot about it
I lost referral bonuses from someone I shared an internet connection with at one point and we never used the same computer.
-
Well having them sign up and confirm there email and collecting the bonus wouldn't be a problem through a method of microtasking but like i said that particular method doesn't work on this site now for instance a website like sharecash that does pay per download you can create some stupid txt file and write some random number in it upload it to sharecash and get your affiliate link they give you and then go on microworkers start a campaign and pay people say 0.25 for every download from your affiliate link notice you are making $1.00 for every time someone downloads well actually 0.75 if you factor in that you have to pay them the 0.25 and it is real people btw i know i have done a quite a few task on there myself it's very similar to amazon mechanical turk and to confirm they downloaded it as proof have them copy and paste the number or line of text you wrote in your txt file and send it to you you can easily make some $$ if you post like 200 jobs at a time i am unsure as to who all here have heard of microtasking but that's one method i use i mean yeah your putting some money down but you are making double sometimes triple in return depending on your method and trust me people will grab those microtask almost as quick as you can create and post them.
-
If old buddy says that it sounds fishy then I would have to agree with him. The only thing I would say is just because you have 300 friends on face book that doesn't mean they are all going to sign up. It is very hard to get referrals.
-
Well Facebook may be a little far fetched to getting ref's even with 10 thousand followers/friends exaggerated of course but i promise you there is no way to fake a microtask other similar methods are transcription,surveys,data collection from websites etc things that cannot be faked by automation or by any computer software vpn's ip changers etc period Amazon's microtask are literally called HIT'S which means "human intelligence tasks" trust me the admins monitor those site's like hawks to make sure no one is trying to cheat if the company's that posted these task on amazons site had computer automation or other means to do it there self that could complete task such as transcription accurately that is there would be no need to pay real people to do it they use amazon and similar websites to do it because it is not costing them near as much as it would if they had to personally hire a team or group of people to do it that and they are making quadruple in return lol heck even the survey's on these site's have trick question's to make sure you are paying attention and that no one is using any kind of extensions or software that randomly pick answers.

Just from personal experience... Shortly after I joined FC (just a few days into it actually) I was spending a weekend at my mother's house and logged on to FC while I was there using my own laptop. I did my daily PTC and posted a few items to the forum. After a few months of vetting FC, I sent my mom a referral link and told her about the steady earning potential. She signed up and has been using it herself ever since, but only cashes out every 2-3 months - which triggers the $5 bonus for me. Almost every time that she cashes out - the $5 bonus posts to my account and then gets rejected/denied when my next payment is issued. This is all due to the fact that over two years ago I accessed FC using her WiFi connection over the span of 2 or 3 days. (This was before my mom was even a member and before I was aware of that rule restriction).
Thankfully, neither my mother nor I had our accounts terminated, and upon submitting a ticket the FC admins reviewed our usage and determined to their satisfaction that we were indeed separate and valid accounts. STILL, two years later, the system automatically red flags the bonus I get from her cashouts all due to that brief use of her WiFi. They consistently reverse the rejections, but I usually have to submit a new ticket and sometimes it can take a while. (I am currently waiting for reversal of a bonus that was denied/revoked on June 19).
None of this is meant as a criticism or complaint toward FC, but just a heads up for anyone who questions or wonders about the sharing of a WiFi connection between two accounts.
[Mom just moved to my area in July and now has a different Internet provider and IP address; I am interested to see if this FC red flag continues into the future as neither of us will access FC from her old WiFi / IP anymore].
