Im running an email submit offer on clickbooth and i tricked people about that they are going to receive something for free if they enter their email, but the offer will ask for their name and stuff after and alot of people enter it. So will i get in trouble for doing this things?
Why would you even consider this? That is just terrible. It is possible to make money without scamming.
Like im running an email submit offer on clickbooth and what i do is like enter any email and then you can receive the free item. But after they enter email, the offer will ask for their name and stuff. So is it ok? Or ill go to jail?
Ive been doing this for a week now and got like a few hundreds... the reason i posted here is because today some guy emailed me (i posted my email on the site) about this being fraud to the federal law or something like that so just wanna check... Maybe hes mad cuz he cant get the free item
It IS fraud. Whether anyone is going to do anything about it. Why would you not think it was illegal? You are offering an exchange of something for something else, you're not holding up your side. Why would you imagine that wasn't fraud?
do what you want, I'm not wasting anymore energy on this thread. Just think of yourself on the other end. Really take a nice visualization on it.
Listen, for your benefit. This will come back to get you in the back. Why don't you just give them what they want.. it seems to me that you just want attention like your handle says, but why not offer them some free ebooks or something.. if you actually ask around here i'm sure there would be many poeple who would give you their ebooks to give away as a free gift for a sign up. its a win win. they get exposure and you are giving your peps what they thought they were going to get. its not hard.
I suggest you get free stuffs from giveaways and give them away in exchange for email addresses. If you don't want to opt-in (you did ask the others) and get junk emails, click my signature and get some free stuffs (no opt-in needed and no OTOs).
Man lonelyguy why does it seem every last one of your threads is about whether or not you can get away with some ethical issues. The last two were about tax evasion and not submitting your W9 form and not reporting the income the affiliate networks send you via paypal. Now its about tricking people into generating leads for you from email submits. For the IRS problem, if the amount isn't too much you could probably get away from tax fraud. The IRS generally only audits 1% of people and it is those that have real high income but real high deductibles. And no you probably woulldn't get into troble be tricking people into submitting their email adress for those email submit offers. However, they will now be sent hundreds of spam email everyday and if they entered their phone number too then they'll probably have telemarketers bugging them to buy whatever junk product too. What you choose to do is up to you though.
Ok thanks alot for writing that but then again i warn them about not putting in real emails and stuff too...
Yes dude it is illigal to trick people...what do you think? Try and give them something for what they have done for you man.
But then your tricking the companies who are running the email submit offers. They are not paying with the intention of getting fake email addresses, they want real ones so they can spam them.
Quit sweatin the small stuff, the advertisers for those email submits do stuff shadier then that to you...Money is money..
money is money lol....well, not when you trick people when they expect you to give them something in return. Thats not an ideal way of getting the money then.
