Account Sign Up Question, help much appreciated!

Here is the scenario,

I have checked my status on several sites at a buddy's house. At this point he says he is willing to do several offers for me as he wants to get into the game as well. Using his cpu I only checked my personal account status, never signed up for anything. Will this raise a red flag with gratis if he now signs up under me using the same IP I used to check my own account status? Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Cheers!

Nope. You should be ok. I've checked my accounts at my daughter's house and she's checked hers here at my house.

And I check from work as well. It's only the signups and doing offers that you need to stick to the same computer, IP, etc.

Thank you so much Chilly, thats exactly what I needed to hear.

I've heard stories going both ways I don't know what is true and what isn't anymore when it comes to that I just play it safe as much as possible

ya...sometimes i cant wait to check my status so i check at work...hopefully its not a problem....

I checked my status all over the place and I had no problems with my iPod. It really doesn't matter.

Gratis has said time and again that IP address tracking is only ONE of many criteria they use to detect fraud. Many people have gotten their products after signing up from the SAME IP address as someone else, which is common in schools, businesses, libraries, internet cafe's, etc. People need to realize that even with your home ISP's accounts, the IP addresses are pulled from a fixed pool, and when you give up your IP for a new one, [b17c447b1a6]somebody else gets your old one[/b17c447b1a6]. Gratis is not going to disqualify based on IP alone, if they did they would rarely ship anything.

I realize they are very strict about fraud -- and should be -- but people need to stop being so paranoid about IP addresses. Now shipping addresses are a different story, and even family names can cause some trouble with some but others have signed up their whole families and not had any trouble. So there isn't a single rhyme-or-reason that you can put a finger on, short of multiple signups at the same shipping address.
