Why don’t you tell the World the truth about how your Platform “Super Rewards” doesn’t honor credits like coins, virtual cash, gold etc. even though a person does one of these so-called offers by the advertisers and completes the steps to reach the Final Steps pages. It does constitute as Fraud when a person pays for an item from one of these advertisers and then is not credited for what is promised by Super Rewards in lieu of coins, virtual cash, etc. for a particular application hosted on either Facebook or Myspace. You also failed to mention that you make individuals jump through hoops by sending in screen shots of the Final Steps pages in order to prove that an offer was completed because the majority of your advertisers don’t send emails or will verify that an offer was completed. Even this does not guarantee the person will even be credited anything to the application that they are playing because your company usually states that they haven’t heard back from the advertiser to verify. Well, I’m sorry to say, if a person goes through the trouble to complete an offer via your site on an application and proves that an offers was completed, they should be given the credit to that application without going through a bunch of bullshit when it’s the advertisers responsibility. Fraud indeed….
