Hi,
I hope not to offend by asking this question, but I'm curious. I play on an online poker site. The other night I referred my neighbor as friend so she would get a bonus and I could get a bonus also for her signing up.
She signed up on her computer and downloaded software and all that good stuff. She had trouble making the deposit and figuring out which company to go through to make a deposit(Neteller, etc.), so she come to my house. I know the security at these sites is tight, so I unplugged my broadband and dialed up a connection through a dial up ISP that I have so as to have a different IP address when signing into her account so they wouldn't shut us down as scamming. To make a long story short, they knew that I was signing in on two different accounts on the same computer anyway, and we both had to fax our drivers license and other information to them so as to unlock the accounts and continue to receive the bonus.
How in the world do they know that if IP addresses are different? May be a stupid question, and like I said I don't want to offend anyone, because I'm not trying to scam anyone. Our accounts were froze and then unfroze because we proved that we were two different people and 2 different addresses and the names of those who made the deposits matched the ID's. I made myself look suspicious trying not to look suspicious.
Thanks and if this is inappropriate tell me and I will take it off.
