Scamming The 2 Week Free Trial
« on: May 02, 2009, 04:47:52 PM »
Does Hitech want reports of people suspected of scamming the 2 week free trial period? You know, the ones who keep signing up for 2 week free trials under different user IDs? I'm not sure Hitech can really do much about it but thought I'd ask.

There. Thanks for the suggestion to modify it. I've e-mailed the post to hitech.

Ooops. Just realized this topic is against the rules but don't know how to delete it. I'll copy and paste it on to an e- mail for hitech. Sorry.

I would email support@hitechcreations.com instead of putting it on the bbs here man. Especially naming names and all.

If you can still modify your original post, just go in and delete the text you wrote.  There will still be a thread and a post, it just won't say what it does now.

I don't think you can delete AHII the re-install and get two weeks free again.
I'm pretty sure Hitech has that covered.

I would have thought so, too. I just found it odd he shows up out of nowhere and seems to do it- at least so far- in 2 week increments.

I'm sure if someone worked on it they could figure a way around it. Uninstall game, delete cookies, switch IP addresses, and so forth.

IMHO public speculation about the way how it could work isn't a good idea either...

There is a way to do it. When I deleted my account a while back I was able to get anther free trail when I signed back up.
