I tried to do it when this whole mess started but they wouldn't let me because a payment was still pending. Once that all clear up I will try it again and it should work. I don't know what that will do to my account status
It might raise some suspicion but I don't think it should be much of a big deal.. Usually they mostly care about withdrawing remarkably large amounts at a higher speed rate than usual..
Quote:and about the referral skimming SS. Maybe you can help clear this up since you know programming. Would it be possible for a site to divert referrals from your affiliate link? For example, say I had 100 referrals coming in to my link, could a PO set something up whereby only 50 were credited to my account and 50 went to the PO himself?
I think it's obvious that it is quite easy to implement that.. I think it would take me like 5 minutes..
I could also do it based on a controllable "random" scale so that it wouldn't even raise suspicion..
Either way it's not sth one can actually check... unless you refer specific people and they confirm that they've used your referral link and end up in someone else's downline.. that could be a complication for them but they can always "fix" it by assigning them to you.
Are you talking about the PayPal referring system here, or is that a generic question?
Edited: Well, I couldn't stop myself so here you go
:
http://www.ptcbox.me/refer_test.php?referrer=moneymarketingThis is a referral link, notice how your username parameter is entered as a "referrer" parameter that the code will process.
You can change it manually in the address bar of your browser..
If no username is inserted then it will simply show "unreferred". Test it out by refreshing the page and you'll see what I mean.
