   | This evening I have had to take the action to ban the members Shyamt & TheFreeNetwork. I dont normally publically tell people when they are banned, but in this case I felt I had to make a exception. Here are my reasons. Shyamt has on more than one occasion attempted to scam people via trades, only after the thread of his account being banned did he sort out a trade, 3 months later. If all the people Ive spoken to are correct, he has now joined freeipods.com over 3 times! he tells me he gets his mates to join up, and do the offer but I dont belive this (you get your mates to sign up under your link not someone randoms...) He has lied to myself and the exceem staff over a number of issues. In addition to this, the user TheFreeNetwork, is also shyamt. When a new network appears myself and others do a lot of research into this network and it did ring alarm bells for us, and within a day we had suspicissions that this user was linked to shyamt, this was before thefreenetwork even registered on exceem. Once TheFreeNetwork registered on exceem, our IP tracking software proved that these 2 people were linked, in addition to this, TheFreeNetwork claims to live in Croydon, which is a telewest area and NTL dont operate there, however his IP address pointed to a NTL account based in Lecister. In light of this I have banned both accounts, and exceem will NOT be supporting TheFreeNetworks sites, how can we trust someone who doesnt even complete trades properly with peoples free gifts... All decisions of this nature are made by the exceem staff, and a user is never banned unless all the staff agree. |

| RE: Users Shyamt & TheFreeNetwork - BANNEDSo, if I'm signed up to one of thefreenetwork sites is there no point in referring my friends? May sound like a stupid question, I know you've said you don't support the sites, but I'm wondering if anyone's had a negative experience on the sites rather than just with trades. Or is there anyone out there who has actually received a free item from this network? |

| RE: Users Shyamt & TheFreeNetwork - BANNEDTheFreeNetwork have yet to open as far as i know There is another network called Free-Network, who operate free-ipods4u and free-upgrades4u, (think i got the names right) and they are 100% legit and not linked in any way to the banned members.

| Don't know of anyone that's received a free gift from them, but Exceem don't ban networks without a good reason so must have done their homework on the site itself before banning rather than just the user in question! Stay clear if I was you!

| I think I just made that mistake.... do they both have "4" in the URLs? I'm on gear4free which I've just realised is on a different network altogether. I nearly signed up to one of thefreenetwork sites in a trade but didn't because the offers all cost a fortune. A lucky escape it seems! |

| Good news, so none of us have had the misfortune of being scammed by their sites! We'll have to keep our beady eyes out for them then...  |
