hi everyone,
wanted to inform you that, we found some fraudulent activity on Getfreedash, fortunately, the effect is not very serious. But the way they have carried out this fraud is very smart. we do the giveaway for only new numbers, once you claim free dash , the system doesn't let you sign up again , however people were inserting dots in between so the same number could be used multiple times so a number like 1234.5 is being considered as a new number compared to 12345 .. we have stopped this now , we have paid to about 500 people this way ( so the net loss is $500 ) and we have stopped some 1500 people from the withdrawal queue potentially saving $1500 .... so thats about say 3% of the total people we signed up so far.
we are obviously ramping up our fraud-fighting systems, and planning on implementing full facial recognition going forward.
we are hoping to launch Android app as well, which would control fraud to a much greater extent ( by looking at IMEI / Android ID ) and give us the added benefit of targeting mobile friendly users
