Why do people buy vouchers and activated adwords accs?

    Looked in the classified section and noticed lots of people buying either activated accounts or vouchers.

    You can only use a voucher once.
    So what is the point of buying another one?

    Google will ban you for making more than 1 account

    some people like to try and run multiple accounts to see if they're getting scammed, (an informal audit of sorts)

    Just because it is wrong doesn't stop people from opening a bunch of accounts really quickly w/ vouchers.

    $20 for a $75 voucher... quickly spend up that money in 1 day with adwords, and hope you don't get caught.

    I don't do it... but I assume that is how it goes

    Some fly by night morons like to open up accounts under fake info and burn through the free traffic.

    Stupid way to do business, but some people are stupid...(didn't Forest Gump say something along those lines...)

    So they will not let you keep using vouchers? You can only use one voucher per account?

    We are smart marketers too bad we can't. Is it an impossible dream?

    If you buy different hosting accounts or acquire various vouchers at different points in time, you should be able to use them all. That is one thing I do not like. You get a voucher at a trade show for $100, so you make an account and use it. Next week you buy yourself a hosting plan and are given a $25 voucher with it. Now you can't use that $25 voucher? That seems like a great reason to open additional accounts.

    As adsense banned lots of users, some may do it just for revenge!
