Worldwinner restricted even further

moviedrome · 30-11-10, 07:44 PM

Sigh! Even after the offer was removed from 3 countries it seems that some people can't take a hint. Still way too much fraud coming through so we've been asked to restrict the offer to UK, USA and Canada only.

Sorry guys, it's out of our hands.

Ojaser6 · 30-11-10, 07:46 PM

It's fine, at least you told us!

Andyb123 · 30-11-10, 07:48 PM

It annoys me that some people have to ruin it for everybody else, worldwinner was one of the best internernational offers.

Ahh well, life goes on. Thanks for not removing it completely.

**ryan1087** · 30-11-10, 07:52 PM

Best to get rid of countries that use offer for fraud that to remove altogether, thanks.

Madex · 30-11-10, 07:56 PM

Mind adding it back to Ireland?

Tbh Rich i'd remove all the country's from FJ altogether seems they are more hassle then they are worth and tbh it's us loyal uk members that re being penalised losing vouchers etc.

az87aris · 30-11-10, 08:09 PM

Other countries have done nothing but commit fraud since the sites became available worldwide.

I agree with harvez that it would be much better if the sites went back to being open to just the UK, USA and Canada again. I know we would lose out on international referrals but in my own experience international referrals are very few and far between anyway so would be no great loss to me, or anyone else for that matter if all these muppets are doing is commiting fraud and having their accounts put on hold/suspended.

As harvez has pointed out above, opening the sites to these/other countries has been more hassle than the tiny proportion of referrals from them are worth and as with everything it's us loyal and more to the point - honest UK/USA/CA members that are being penalised with the removal of offer promotions etc thanks to these muppets frauding offers.

Restricting offers wont change anything, they will just find another offer/way of commiting fraud, just cut the sites off to their countries completely and have done with it/them.

I benefit from international referrals, I am sure everyone does.

Do you have the statistics to back up this 'tiny proportion'? We are not losing out on any offers, they're just making life difficult for themselves, there has been no removal of Worldwinner for u UK/US/CA :S

Cutting off the rest of the world from freebiejeebies isn't a sensible approach, cutting off the countries with high percentages of fraud is, technically we are not suffering at all, though a large amount of europe is because of these fraudsters

Most people are annoyed because of the free £5 vouchers that they got whenever they got a refferal to Worldwinner, unfortunatley this led to so much fraud that it wasn't worth it.

People have a right to complain, but in the end it was an oppurtunity that wasn't going to last forever, if you took advantage of it, well done, you bagged yourself even more freebie than usual, if not, pretend it never happened.

I just don't understand this.

This is a big F-U to us non-fraduster international users....

Harvez · 01-12-10, 02:18 PM

If that's how you see it, fair enough. But don't you think the networks have to protect themselves and the affiliate programs they run?

If it was me I'd remove those country's all together.

ZOMGOW3 · 01-12-10, 02:22 PM

Removing international users all together is unfair....removing offers is OK, imo.

Most of the refs I got for my PS3 were from the UK/USA.

Where do you get your official statistics data? It's easy to say that networks should to cut loose everybody but the country you live in. Then again, even if I would live in UK, I wouldn't suggest that only UK and US are honest and rest of the world is all fraud (to paraphrase you).

So Kudos and FJ: keep supporting outside world and get more offers international. I think freebie networks are brilliant and so do my greens (all non-fraudulent).

sgll · 01-12-10, 04:15 PM

i have to agree with Harvez on this.. id say remove the countries in question altogether. bloody sucks how they carry on frauding the offer. i hope you dealt with the culprits

I'm fine with the removal of offers as long as they're available for UK people who have the best conversion rates anyway...

Sorry if I wasn't clear about it..
