I joined this site something like 6 weeks ago. I've earned 54 cents. This morning I recieved a message stating my account has been marked as 'cheater'.
Well, all I've done is the ptc features, hence earning less than a cent a day. I'm not so fussed over 54 cents. Only, when they responded to me they stated it was because I'm using proxy address to access the site. On this, I'm lost. I've heard of people using 'proxies' and all I know about them is that people use them to download torrents annonymously. Other than that I have no clue. Can I even be using one without ever having set one up?
I know...it's 54 cents but after being scammed by swagbucks which was a much larger figure (£55). And being concerned currently over a certain other site, I am becoming annoyed at some of these ptc sites now. It's the principle. The wasted time. The treating people as disposable.

This has happened to me twice with this site for similar tiny amounts. I'm nowhere near computer literate enough to use a proxy.
First time the account was closed, second time they re-opened it under the understanding that I must never use a proxy again :rotfl:
Not sure if your with Talktalk or if its a UK address thing
whats the other site that concerns you out of interest?0 -
Seems like this site simply dosent want to pay up? ive been with them for roughly 6wks too and earned just over $1 i redeemed, it was pending but now they want me to send proof of who i am as well as my address? who do they think they are other then con artists. The only cheats are them.0
