you'll soon know when your SB amount suddenly increases and everyone starts posting on here how many extra bucks they got

When do we receive the monthly SB credit, is it meant to show up on my account ledger?

sometime tonight, the 5th ... think it was about 9-30 last time, but they are moving offices in the USA at the moment.... and yes it will show in your ledger.

Thanks Paul, I did that offer as you described and got the bucks straight away, but I did get this message come up in Outlook:

Be careful! This sender has failed our fraud detection checks

Not sure what that means but clicked out straight away, hope it's not too late and no damage is done!

Sorry about that beegee - Norton didn't show any warnings for me and I thought the email came from Supersonicads themselves, but I see that it comes via amazonses.com which it seems is a known sender of spam. I've checked that message online and it appears that it comes up if a sender of email doesn't have a Sender Policy Framework. I found this which explains a bit more:-

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an anti-spam approach in which the Internet domain of an e-mail sender can be authenticated for that sender, thereby discouraging spam mailers, who routinely disguise the origin of their e-mail, a practice known as e-mail spoofing. SPF and other anti-spoofing initiatives, such as Domain Keys, work by making it easier for a mail server to determine when a message came from a domain other than the one claimed.

I think the message is coming up in Outlook because it thinks that amazonses.com is pretending to be Supersonicads, but I can't be certain. Apparently there have been a lot of complaints about Outlook throwing up these messages when emails have been sent quite legitimately.

It usually comes in two credits - one for the daily bonuses and a second one if you've got additional bonuses for hitting the targets for 7 days, 14 days etc. They usually come out around 9.30 to 10.30pm because of the time difference between UK and California, but I have known them to come through in the early hours of the morning

Thanks for that Paul - sorry if it sounded as though I was having a pop at you, that was absolutely not my intention - it was just a typical resigned 'ho hum, more cr*p from SB' kind of musing!' I was grateful for the bucks

Met my goal

MazzyStar_2

Im 142 bucks off my next Amazon voucher, fingers crossed I made that in daily bonuses in May :-)

There's a sponsorpay for 66sb for search4health - I accidentally typed my phone number in wrong and it credited fine

Is anyone seeing this HJ Lim video on their main page card for 1SB? I'm getting some weird message when it tries to play thru YouTube that my player is "too small". Anyone else? Or is my PC trying to tell me something via some subtle innuendo??

that's what I'm getting to on all 7 instances of it...:rotfl:
