Wow that's weird. Doesn't it say somewhere in the Trainn faq that you can do the sites more than once if more than one family member is interested but you can't sign up under yourself?

Hey Guys - Chill!!! I just got back from a weekend trip. And am totally shocked at this. I am talking with alan about this. The signups were from me and my coworkers. I had 3 of my friends to do this for me. For some reason, Alan saw that two of them were logged from the same IP. These friends did refs for me also and hence I lost two refs too. The two people who were flagged are mesgme and swapan.raj. Both are my coworkers and am trying to get this resolved from Alan.

I hoped to see some support from you guys. Am a +44 TR and dont intend to spoil my TR. For those whom I have greyed - as an immediate measure - I will return your paypal. I think only one of them was a trade, I will pay you $20 - which you can return when this gets resolved.

Will update more when I hear from Alan.

You'd be suprised at how little support some members of this community show.
I wont mention any names though...roll

Glad to see you are back and that everything is on the track to being resolved. Hope you enjoyed your vaca!

Its hard to have support when a)this has happened before with high TR gone bad, b)4 is alot of people and not usual

Yeah man. I am not the emotional type - I could give a rats ass for $25. But I know the people who you are talking abt. Zero support. Damn, I dont feel cheated - just surprised at how little trust people can show.

And Crynos - just because it has happened before does not mean that every thing that even remotely looks like a scam , IS a scam. I am still going through what are the trades that are affected and resolving them. More to follow..
