Misleading and deceptive promotion materals

[bean]

Its been brought to our attention that a number of members are using deceptive and misleading ways to get referrals. There is currently nothing in the TOS against this, but expect that to change.

When a new referral comes to the site and realizes they've been deceived, chances are they will not return. This hurts both you and Rewards1. You lose out on potential points, and Rewards1 loses a potential member.

For now, you may still continue promoting the site following the current TOS, as the decision has been made to NOT put the new rules into effect until *after* the May Referral Contest.

Yeah I have to agree I have seen Youtube videos offering so called Sign up bonuses of 200 points if you use my referral link they say it's the hacked link but these are not real. I'm not sure if this is the type of thing you are talking about but it seem like it.

[breakers22]

Agreed doubleheman! Those people should definitely be banned!

[fergdizzle909055]

yeh i hope then all the "hacked rewards1 for 100 points sing up here" videos will be gone. i love this site so much better then all the rest but people are ruining it

[MaximoMilkman]

Yea FIGHT THE POWER! Idk it sounded appropriate =) But yea they should be banned. Hopefully this will make the contests easier because im trying hard to get refs but it just seems SOMEHOW the big DONS of R1 are kicking my ARSE!

[roblanownz]

p.s. i was joking when i said i was using hackz 4 mahz rewardz.
guess u guys couldnt tell if u were talking about me

XD

[david]

Then surely now people are going to this it is acceptable to cheat and are therefore going to do so?

[Eric Sherman]

Yeah, I'm sure this has been pointed out already. There are the "sign up with me as your referral and you will get a (insert random bull**** here)." Things like 20% of what I make, a sign-up bonus of x-credits ect ect.

[hightower]

A classic example i saw was when somebody had made a 'rewards1 hacked link get 750 free points' video...then you look down the related video side and a couple of people had stolen it......if you're gonna be a lowlife cheat at least be a bit more creative and original! lol

[Eric Sherman]

Woo! Get a few of those indexed videos out of here! Nothing like making those lucky indexed people lose there spots because they were deceptive.

Exactly! Plus I have seen a one by asenior member here saying that you can get 20% of what he makes aswell. I'm not going to mention name but that is deceptive too.

[xXUnstoppableBeastXx]

that's how I ended up here but I'm earning honest points of my own with a clean marketing technique, no lies. I haven't got a referral yet but like you said, it can lead to less R1 traffic if people keep lying about it. I'm sure that the person who tricked me is getting a a$$load of my points which really pisses me off.

[iceman34]

yea i'm really glad their doing something about that. there's like a million scam videos on youtube....they need to put those scammers in their place!!!!!!!

[Eric Sherman]

YouTube? Go to facebook and myspace. There are so many scams, spammers, and phishing attempts going on there that makes YouTube seem virtually untainted. I mean the only time you really find spammy videos on YouTube is if your are searching for something pretty specific (or dirty).

[Doug]

whats phishing?

[Eric Sherman]

It's where you click a link and you are brought to a site that looks exactly like myspace. You are brought to the home page and think you were just signed out, but in all reality you were sent to a site that isn't myspace and you enter your login information, and you are then automatically re-routed back to myspace not suspecting a thing because you were still logged in there.

Hard to explain. Basically when your friends start posting random bulletins with weird links, and strange comments to you, they were probably phished.

[BypassHacker]

Hmm... maybe you could make a domain name that would be like reards1.com

[roblanownz]

domain name? u can buy ur own domain
http://www.active-domain.com

and reards1.com
is already a purchased domain.

[Eric Sherman]

Unless you host your own sites. You can set up your own server with about $400. As for the domain, I'm not quite sure how they get that to work. I'm to young to start scamming again... been caught before... WoW accounts :p

[roblanownz]

subdomains 4 free, but much less believeable cause its a subdomain of course.

[Eric Sherman]

Yeah, but some myspace pages are like. myspace.com/picutres/images.jpg.2368467195skjgdah04398g32h9235g-0n45y Nobody studies it that closely...

Not to be rude but, grow a spine you don't need the members that are trying to scam other people. It's obvious that they aren't going far on your network anyways. If I were you I would ban any member participating in said activity.

[roblanownz]

whoever could purchase the domain rnyspace.com could get tons of ppl's pass, etc.
lmao
1yr ago i was in the middle of typing in my password when i was like WAIT!!!!
hmmm the says rnyspace not myspace
lol

easiest isnt phising though

Myspace = terrible place

[kdarkomen]

We now Have To Do Some Under Cover Work

I Hope They Don't Take Away Our Referral Links

[Pure shadow717]

i bet if someone gave me 10 bucks or like 5$ i can get a full freakin page of people who says they found a hack and lieing to get refferals!but i can do it free too...

[Bigbeckster]

The Rewards 1 ban list
These are all the people who are using deceptive ways and so called “hacks” to get referrals on youtube.
I made this list up, so it will be fare for me and other people(and I was bored)
· http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XujB6Jhnxf0 - referrer_id =150608
· http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHZRUA27dUs - referrer_id=84225
· http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfW1AU_FOXM - referrer_id=18266
· http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx8bSBAz-pk - referrer_id=10937
· http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnfNGzRuEkU - referrer_id=59497

This is just a few videos, there are thousands left.
I hope all these people with get banned FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!
It would be great if more people would add to this or something, so we get a giant list. So after the referral contest, we can ban them all!!!!!!!!!

[Downin]

We should have a list where we can submit there referral id all into one page, then they can just put them on a plate and hit them all with the ban hammer

Mine isn't for rewards1, and the rewards1 isn't mine.

[Truman32123]

Mine isn't for rewards1, and the rewards1 isn't mine.

It isn't for rewards 1, but it has a rewards 1 referral link?

[BypassHacker]

Well, yeah, I stuck my rewards1 referral link in the description because it gets 600+ views a day. But I don't claim that my rewards1 ref link is hacked.
