I may be dumb but now that I think about it, it seems like the angry scammer could just try to jack up all the accounts of people that out him/her? What prevents that?

like uh if hes going to green first, and he actually needs those accounts, um why would he do that. you know if one of your accounts gets puts on hold for signing up multiple times, the other accounts u have get put on hold as well. well thats gratis tho.

No, Im not trying to learn anything. I must admit I've considered contacting the scammers' sites with their referral numbers though, and was wondering why they wouldn't retaliate. Just about anyone can hide their real ip.

I'm pretty sure that if someone signs up multiple times for you, you don't get put on hold, those referrals just go red.

on a few cases on the used to be up and running site imonhold.com peter addressed a few accounts that were on hold, and one of the main reasons for leaving people with that status was basically; mutiple sign ups. if you think otherwise i wont hold you back for trying it.
