Thanks for the rehash of the telephone AND faxing instructions for the identification verification process. Every bit of those instructions were used AND followed with NO results thus far. I even have the fax confirmation sheets that show the faxes were sent successfully to the correct fax number.
In the first place, I would not have to resort to faxing documents if FC's telephone verification works. I have tried at least 10 times and even opened a support ticket. FC stated that if it cannot be done by telephone, then I need to fax documents. Funny, how FC's telephone verification system doesn't work, but CashCrate does. I was able to do that with CashCrate with no problems and on the first try, no less.
The University ID AND utility bill were faxed along with FC's fax cover sheet with the appropriate member number included. The utility bill contains my name and address (how can it NOT when the US Postal Service has no problems delivering it to my home and The Gas Co. has no issues providing me with service at my residence and sending me monthly invoices). And YES, both forms of ID's contain information which matches my name and address in my FC account.
As a side note, I see the word "fraud" thrown around quite a bit on this site, usually coming from FC's side. The only fraud I see in instances where selected people don't get paid, is FC denying people payment and/or giving people the run around when they try to cash out. In this instance, no one else in my household has a FC account nor have I used another computer, besides my own, to complete offers.
In fact, by way of background information, I've opened an account with FC in late October and used it on three separate days and have since decided for other reasons, including the fact that I can make more money elsewhere, to not return. Since, however, I did accumulate a WHOPPING total of $32.50 during the three days I tried them out, I figure what the heck, why not cash out. But the whole process has been delayed time and time again by FC for unknown and inexplicable reasons as they have not answered my inquiries and have made the verification process a needlessly painful experience.
So, in a nutshell, folks, I can read and follow instructions and do know what is allowed and not allowed on this website. FC is not the only site I've signed up with, but ironically, the site that contains the most bullshit. I do not believe I've violated any of FC's policies. However, I do consider it bad business practices when a company consistently sends out form emails asking for sensitive information such as credit card and other information not originally listed as part of its verification process. It is also not cool to ignore people's inquiries and deny or give people the run around when all they are doing is trying to cash out.
Since I only have $32.50 to cash out, that is no skin off my back. I am aware that for every dollar I make, FC makes at least $10 off of my earnings from advertisers. This does not include approximately 50% of the items that I did not get credit for. My take is that I have not made enough money for FC and therefore they have decided to make it impossible for me to even cash out the small amount of earnings that I did made during my trial period.
Seems to me that is penny wise and pounds foolish because in the end FC may have achieved its short-sighted goal of inflating its bottom line, but those who have tried FC's website have long gone elsewhere with positive and more satisfying results.
Again, what a bunch of LOSERS.
