Oh so it was for offers, not freebie sites.

Yes, several offers.

Yikes, I know Stamps.com, True.com, and some other companies are starting to sue people who fraud, but they need to prove it if they sue so if he didn't actually fraud he should be fine. Just e-mail them back and ask them what he did, if he did fraud then he's screwed, but if not they can't have proof.

I got that message once but I didn't take it too seriously...I had done the Momentum Direct offer 2-day slim down at one point. Then a week later I tried to do the Amazon Diet offer...that's when it popped up. Turns out that they are the same company...I'm still not sure if it's the same offer or not...didn't appear to be.
Same thing with the phone #...got me nowhere...I think it's just a scare tactic in case there is some actual frauding going on. I know I didn't fraud, so I wasn't concerned.
I've had no problems with any other offers since that time...and certainly no problems with any freebie sites.

I'd not worry about it too much, Gator.

11-06-2007 12:37:47

I would, but that's only because I KNOW there are scary dust bunnies under MY bed...not sure about yours, tho

Bed? I'm afraid all I can offer is the convertible. ;)

Well, that's a sweet offer, Tholek...but I wonder how much cleaner it would be?

(On a side note We could use your help 1 thread down http//forum.freeipodguide.com/viewtopic.php?t=64187 -maybe you could clear the matter up ) )

It has been determined that these offersamazon diet, 2 day slim down, permaslim and 20 minute facelift are all the same company. I believe there are a couple more diet offers too. I just can't think of them right now. So if you do one of their offers, then try to do another, that is what is coming up. I had a ref scared to death last night, and she didn't want to do anymore!!!! But instead of just getting a nice message, something along the lines of "we are sorry but you have already completed one of our offers", they are getting this crapola instead. I know these are fairly new offers. I never did them. But it scares the crap out of people!

I'm never doing these offers, they're crazy if they think they are getting my bank account number.

gator1002

11-06-2007 14:34:48

Ok. lets ban them. Befour they send the cops to shoot me, then I can come out from under the bed and get back to work.

lorny35

11-06-2007 14:35:48

I think it's safe to come out now Gator!

Wow! I have never experienced any of this before, and dealt with momentum direct offers, with no difficulty what so ever. I still am using one of them. I bet that if you are a current subscriber, that you might not be able to complete another offer while still a member. But....I can see why you are under the bed instead of relaxing on the top!

If it is an IP issue, it can be changed...I saw a post just recently regarding this, and I believe it may have been under the title of "I have a new IP, now what do I do?" or simular.

Good luck, ya know the law around these here parts aren't friendly customers! You crack me up Fred !! D

And this sounds like an interesting problem, but hopefully it works out. I wish I could be more helpful with this situation.

Gosh where have I been? This happened to me last night and boy did I freak out! Thanks to Margot for giving me the link to this thread. I tried to sign up for Y.E.S (diet pills) and I got that same message and I freaked out cuz I am very cautious about not doing the same offer twice (I keep a list of all offers I have tried so I can be sure). Well, I wrote them directly as they said to do if I felt the message was in error. I got the following response back from them so it's all good. Was quite scary there for a bit, though. Thanks again, Margot, for letting me know about this thread! )

I am very sorry for the misunderstanding. Our system sends this message when we have received more than one order thinking that it is a fraudulent order. I have however unblocked your IP and if you are still wanting to place another order you may do so.
