This Considered Fraud?
« on: May 31, 2010, 04:23:49 pm »
So I had left for memorial weekend to go Maryland to see some family, mainly my cousin kelsie.  She's a computer whiz like me and I actually got her to sign up and start doing offers.  I read that is against terms of agreement to log into through someone elses computer and I wanted to do some offers while I had free time.  What if my home computer got trashed and i had to get a new one with a new connection, ip, etc. How does that work?

No two accounts can sign at one household. Submit a support ticket to see if FC allows one account to be logged on at different geographic locations, as some GPT sites allows this and some will not allow this because of 'proxies.'

I had this dilemma when I was going on vacation, and had asked a similar question. From what I was told was that it is okay if you use multiple computers within your home (As they are all the same IP address anyway) - just you can only have one account per household and per IP address. If you are away from  home you can not sign on using any public network (ie, no libraries, airports, hotels, wifi hot spots), you can also not sign on at someone elses house who currently has or plans to ever have FC now or in the future (that would go against more than one member on an IP address). If you are visiting a friend or relative who never has been on and never ever will be on FC then I was told it was okay to sign in to your account and work there.

I hope this helps, I know when I was planning a vacation I was really confused myself! :heart:

You can't have two accounts on one computer. But you should be able to email FC about your situation and attempt to fix your problem. They are very understanding and will be extremely cooperative I'm sure.

yep - this is correct.
you can use whatever computer you want from your home as they have the same internet connection therefore same IP address -- the device itself doesn't matter so if your laptop crashes it won't matter.

signing on in public areas will likely cause you problems somewhere down the road.
certainly if your cousin signed up and then if you go on her computer and sign in your account one of the accounts will become denied.

I have accessed my one account from multiple locations as I am on the road a lot.  I know each household cannot have more than one account.  Its always good to double check, though.

I have changed Internet Providers and they haven't said anything but I am still using mine from my house it may be a good idea to read the rules for fusion cash since i am still pretty new.

Have you also changed your email address?  I suspect you need to update your primary email address on FC (and any other site you use) to reflect the new ISP and address, but as long as you only have one account on any/all of your email address/ISPs you should be okay.

If you are still maintaining your old email address as primary and want to continue to do so, then you are also okay. FC needs to have an email address that they can contact you with that you still look at.  If they send you something and it bounces back (because the email address if full or non-existant), then you will have a problem.

Couldn't have explained it better my self. Great job pridegirl88.


OP> The basic idea of this rule is to make sure there are never 2 accounts in the same I.P address so if you are sure that there is no way anyone will signup for a new account using that internet connection your fine.

But what I understand is that your cousin signed up and you also logged in form the same pc. That can be a problem I suggest you be upfront with fc send a support ticket and don't do it again. Hope it all ends well

Thank you! It's nice to understand more about FusionCash now and actually be able to help out a bit. Actually going through and reading the forums is quite helpful, I am glad FC has them here for us!

I would never perpously brake any fusion cash rules, but I would seriouly like to know if were allowed to log into our accounts using another computer because I'm thinking about getting a new computer laptop because I need somthing more portable so I'd like to know if my computer crashes or I buy another one will I be able to still log into my fusion account without being deemed a rule braker? :dontknow: :peace:
