From my previous post, where I said I EARNED $50 from IMRC, I forgot to mention that the site is quite strict when it comes to International Policy. Earlier this year, the membership was open to all countries, a week or so after that, some Asian countries were banned. Here is a detailed explanation as to why: from IMRC FAQ page
We currently accept new users from all countries except the following:
India, Malaysia, Nigeria, Philippines, Singapore
Unfortunately we’ve experienced a tremendous amount of fraudulent and inappropriate use of the IM Report Card website from users in these countries, and until we figure out an efficient way to combat this we can’t accept users from these countries.
If you are in one of these countries and want to use IM Report Card responsibly, please accept our sincerest apologies. We know it doesn’t seem “fair”.
Until we figure out a way to efficiently deal with this problem, you’re free to use the site as a resource – you just can’t post comments or earn credits.
Users in certain other locations will be asked to provide additional information upon signing up, and based on this information the user will be approved or denied.
Please note: Do NOT attempt to use proxy servers or other methods to hide your IP address and/or location in an attempt to circumvent this policy. If you do, we WILL catch you, and you will be permanently banned from accessing the site.
Around August, the ban was lifted in the Philippines, for a time they allowed new users from our country granted you provide an explanation on what you know about Internet Marketing. I cannot say I am lucky that I was accepted, I knew a lot about Internet Marketing and I know my grammar and English is not excellent but it’s OK.
Now, they updated their International Policy and this is what they have to say (from IMRC blog)
Effective immediately we are no longer accepting new users from the Philippines, Malaysia or Singapore. We are just seeing too much fraud and inappropriate use of the site coming from these countries. For all the details on our updated policy on international users, please see this Frequently Asked Question on the FAQs page.
Active existing users from these countries are NOT affected by this policy change.
We are however canceling existing user accounts from these countries who signed up and have no activity and no credits owed.
So to all those who signed up under me.. this is the reason why..
My offer for those who will sign up under me still stands.. and this specially applies to my READERS FROM THE UNITED STATES(whatever race is your origin as long you are in the US). Sign up under me and gain more than the usual cash out of $20.
If you sign up under me, I am giving a 50% cash out incentive on your first cash out. Succeeding cash outs will give you another 30% from me.
