Dealing with SPAM
« on: January 02, 2012, 06:26:30 am »
 :dontknow:  Read this on  one of the old topics and hoping maybe one of the experienced FC members can verify the accuracy for all of us new FC members. I know for me my email is FLOODED daily on here, and if this is true I am definitely going to try it! I assumed that if you used a different address than what you were signed up with FC with that you wouldn't be credited for the completion of the offer. IF you know the answer to this please help!

Most of the stuff on here is safe. I personally don't trust the downloads, but many people do them with no problems. You will get a lot of spam email, which is why it is good to get a few new email addresses to use when doing the offers.

I know that some people here have a message devoted only to FusionCash.  I wish I would have thought of that when I first started to avoid all that spam in my main email address.

I don't have issues with spam.  I have an email account that is strictly for Fusioncash email.  Happy New Year!

I got one email which most of  my sign up offers go to.  I do this to avoid most of the spam.

You can use any valid email address to do offers, (as long as it is your address), so I have several addresses that I just use for doing offers. This way, the spam will end up at those addresses, rather tahn my main one. The ting you cannot do is use one email address, then repeat the offer using another address. Offers can only be done once, unless otherwise specified.

I don't understand how that works. If I signed up with FC with my main email address, then how do I use another for offers and get credit?? I am really tired of all the spam and unwanted emails, too. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

@ laine39:
I can't explain HOW they do give you credit when you use an alternative email address for offers, but I can tell you that it IS possible to do so.
I've done it and gotten credit for more than a few offers that way. Just make sure that your other email address you choose to use is a valid one, and then make sure that you check it if any of the offers require you to confirm after sending you an email.

IF any of the offers don't credit when you do this, I wouldn't automatically assume that it's because of using the other email address.  Sometimes offers just don't credit.  
                    
How come it won't play?

Another tool that Gmail provides to combat spam is filters. Search YouTube for some tutorials if you don't understand how to use it.

DON'T DO DOWNLOADS......CLEAN YOUR COMPUTER 2 OR 3 TIMES A WEEK BY DELETING BROWSING HISTORY AND CLEARING CASHES.    I'VE NEVER HAD ANYTHING FROM FC SITE TO MESS UP MY COMPUTER. :thumbsup:

You can use Google 10 minute mail which keeps you from getting spam in your inbox. I almost always use it when signing up for offers, unless I'm sure I am actually interested in the offer.
