Thats sounds very unlucky. How did you get your referals?

[morro19]

just through my site.
Im gonna put a massive thing telling people to folow the t&c now..

i only hope my other pending doesnt go on hold as well.... thatd be pretty painfull xd

[djerwood]

Yeah, Try and make the instructions/details as simple and clear as possible. Since doing the freebie stuff I have realised how many stupid people cant follow/read simple steps.

Yeah, sorry mate, Didnt feel nice for me to do, but it was such an obvious case of fraud on both your referrals part im afraid. Very unlucky,

Sorry,

Yeah, that is pretty unlucky.

Still, a big improvement over the pre-pending days, when we used to lose loads of greens. Not that is any consolation of course.

It's fine with me:P
Im just pleased ive got close to my first freebie.
This IS the month

Just out of interest, what kind of fraud activity do you see? I bet you see some right muppets behind the scenes like referring them selves 10 times with the same ip and address etc

Yeah thats the basic kind of fraud we see. Thats the most obvious which most people can think of. Won't mention any others for obvious reasons,

I guess they must have made other accounts.
Well guess its time to get that extra referall:P
shame i cant combine the referalls from the seperate accounts:P

Gutted for ya! But here's a tip, I get really annoyed with Lovefilm reversals so as soon as I see someone going pending I send them an email explaining that they have gone pending and pointing out things they SHOULD NOT DO to avoid being reversed, since I've started doing that reversals have dropped (though not stopped completely, muppets!).

You could also do that for anyone who has gone green, say things like don't sign up twice to RI etc. because obviously no one reads the T & C's!

I wouldn't put all of that on your site though, it seems kinda negative and you want to be pretty positive on your site. I also doubt people would read it on your site anyway. I would do it through email once they have signed up/gone green.

As a final tip, send these emails through an email address you set up for this purpose specifically and have the name as something interesting - my personal favourite is Sarah Jane Harding. People think of Sarah Harding the singer and get curious so they are more likely to open up the email. I get a response of one sort or another to around 25% (which I think most people will argree is a good response rate) of my emails done this way.

Finally, if you don't pass a verfication by the end of March PM me and I'll stick your gifts RI ref link on My iphone site for a week. My greens from the site have dropped a fair bit recently but that should get you a green or two.

Cheers saint:P

Ill folow those tips from now on... i emailed my pending on gifts.ri and my one on apple i think may go green anyday... so i guess that maybee to late....
but worth a go

Cheers for the help and thanks for the generous offer Lets just hope i dont need it eh
