Prepaid Credit Cards Are Not Allowed

In its earlier days, before all of the fraud occurrences, users were allowed to use prepaid credit cards to complete offers which was good for those that did not trust advertisers or incentive sites. Although incentive sites have no access to the information that you give to advertisers while completing their offers. Some users were using prepaid credit cards for safety while others were using prepaid credit cards to commit fraud and scam others. Due to the high number of fraud among prepaid credit card users, advertisers decided to not credit users that use prepaid credit cards to complete their offers so if you want to obtain your credit then you are now stuck with using a real credit card only. Although some advertisers may allow you to use Paypal but other than that, you have no other option anymore. This is a good reason why you should not commit fraud on freebie sites because you will ruin things for everyone including yourself because falsifying information may cause you not to receive your free gift!

E-Processors

There are many e-processors out there you can choose from when it comes to handling your money online. You have your main stream Paypal, which is highly used among consumers and e-merchants. You then have your less main stream choices like e-gold, Liberty Reserve, etc. With so many to choose from which one should you choose to use? Some would say don't go to Paypal because it's so mainstream which makes you a target for hackers but at the same time choosing a non universal one would make it hard to buy products from e-merchants because they would most likely only accept Paypal out of all other e-processors. Paypal may be very popular but at least you can have the sense of security that the company itself would be around for years to come. Altergold, a less mainstream e-processor turned out to be nothing but a scam and thus alot of users have lost their funds because they can't withdraw their money since the company ran off with their funds. Before you pick a company, do your research.

Freebie Rivalry

There is such a thing as freebie rivalry among freebie forums and freebie networks that it is pretty insane. The stem of their rivalry goes way back and it still lives on even today. It was so long ago that my interpretation may be a little off but the forum rivalry has always been between
Anything4Free and FreeiPodGuide. ReferralSwapper wasn't really caught in the drama because they were never really focused on their forum but A4F and FiPG were the two big shot callers of the freebie forum trading world. Their users shot back and forth at each other claiming to be the best and what not. I registered on all of the forums listed and in my opinion, I think A4F is better and by comparing their activeness today, A4F wins hands down. I believe that A4F is still standing tall because they do not tolerate scammers and will ban them and their networks from the forum whereas FiPG will still support them. I will not name anyone but I do see that they are still rubbing elbows with FiPG and acting as if they never scammed anyone nor have they returned any money to those that they scammed. Another sign of rivalry can be seen at the grade level of different networks. A4F will grade sites according to user polls taken every month and by how much gifts are sent out to users whereas FiPG pretty much plays favorites. For instance, Free4Me is by all means a grade A site but FiPG will never allow Free4Me to move up to a grade A site because there is a little grudge between FiPG and Free4Me. FiPG won't allow an honest and highly praised network be a grade A site but they will allow a big time scamming network that takes not weeks but months to send out any gifts and puts any accounts on hold and have plenty of users filing complaints to Better Business Bureau and wanting to sue the network known as FreePay. No wonder there would be some rivalry eh?

Freebie Trading Precautions

So now that you have decided on which forum you want to sign up for, we will venture onward to steps of trading. Being new in the freebie world would make you feel very anxious and make you vulnerable to scammers so listen well and listen good. Everyone loves fresh meat because you can possibly be able to sign up for their sites and they have TR advantage over you. You will receive plenty of messages from other users asking for a trade so here is what you need to know. The usual rule is the person with the lower TR which would be you, will go first. You will be asked to sign up on their site and after you complete your offer and go green they will in return sign up and go green on your site. Afterall all is said and done, you will both receive one TR point for the successful trade. However, most newbies will not experience this at first because they do not take the proper precautions.

1. Never trade with another newbie because they are likely a scammer with another fresh scam account.
2. Always check out their profile and see when their account was made and who they traded with.
3. If all of their trades are with newbies with fresh accounts then they are most likely TR boosting themselves with fake accounts.
3. Never trust anyone no matter how nice they seem because they will scam you.
4. Trade only with long time users and with a high TR of over at least 40.
5. If they seem impatient and constantly hounding you then something is fishy about them.

If you follow these guidelines then you will be okay for the most part but in the event that you are ever scammed then you can always request the site that you signed up for them to either remove your referral or to place your account on hold. Depending on the sites, some sites will actually ban the user if they are ever caught scamming or frauding others. With all of this in mind, have fun and get them freebies.
