IMPORTANT: Will my account get frozen because my referral is using same hotspot?

[Zhongmou]

I referred a friend of mine today. We are both sitting at McDonalds and I didn't realize that our IP addresses would be the same when she signed up. Will I be banned because of this? Can FC tell the difference between a shared hotspot and cheating? I really hope so.. I'm 4 dollars away from my first payout.

You could plead your case in an FC Support ticket.

I would assume that using a hotspot is like using a public computer.  It isn't just your referral that you need to consider, but anyone else who uses the hot spot to access their FC account.

The TOS are very clear that you use public computer at your own risk.  Suggest you stop.

Well you are only suspose to access your FC account from you own IP address Ie home or the place in which you signed up for FC.  It states it in the rules.  I suggest that you go and re-read the rules again so you can be clear on what is and isn't allowed.  I wouldn't want either of you to lose your accounts.

The best case scenario is to get an answer from the FC admins.

I agree, although if you connect to a public WiFi service/hotspot, your IP address will be the same as everyone else's on that connection. Since no two FC users can share the same IP address according to FC's ToS, you can probably guess the answer.
