  | Diff people, diff address, Same Computer!Can anyone give me some advice? My girlfriend signed up to a giveaway site using my laptop at my house when she was visiting (she lives about 100 miles away). She was about to sign to an offer to credit my aco**** when I thought it maight be a bit dodgy because it was from the same computer as I used to sign up. Do you think this will cause a problem when it comes to verification? Many thanks, Tom |

| Re: Diff people, diff address, Same Computer!I don't think there is any problem about signing up using the same computer depending on what site it was. most sites ignore the ip address now as so many are identical due to location. But there would be a problem with completing an offer on the same computer. You would be classed as walking her through too. She best do the offer from her own pc at home. |

| Re: Diff people, diff address, Same Computer!i think this would be fine because the IP address would be completely different  |

| Re: Diff people, diff address, Same Computer!I can't see how it would be okay, freebiesites work using cookies, if you have the same cookies when taking the computer to another house it wouldn't work i would of imagined. Even if you cleared your cache. |

| Re: Diff people, diff address, Same Computer!hmm i would have said it would be fine as the freebie sites don't check how many coockies on your computer in verifycation |

 | Re: Diff people, diff address, Same Computer!they track the offers through cookies, and if one computer has the same cookies... they WILL find out!

| Re: Diff people, diff address, Same Computer!So my mate at school wants to sign up, but i originally made my account at school. So if he signed up at school, then did the offer at home, would this be a problem? |

| Re: Diff people, diff address, Same Computer!I imagine so, for both the sign up and offer completion it needs to be the same computer. As it's all in the browser and IP address. |
