Ebates Inc.

This business is a JOKE. I opened my account 4 years ago. I shop online occasionally, so I figured this would be awesome to earn some extra money. I love incentives just as much as the next persom, so I took advantage of their referral program. I had my neighbor come over and create an account. I told her about how she will receive $10 & I will get $25. Awesome, right? Well she made her purchases, and we got our earnings. Three days later its taken out of our accounts, and we were called frauds. I emailed them, and they stated that I had multiple accounts. Mine, the referred email, and some email that I’ve never heard of. I email them back explaining what had happened, and wondered if my neighbor signing up at my house may have triggered something on the accounts. Again, I was accused of multiple accounts, and asked if I would like to consolidate them. Why would I want to consolidate my account with another account that isn’t mine? It has been going back and forth for a few days now. | Ive explained the situation multiple times, yet they keep responding with the “multiple accounts” bull crap. If I made multiple accounts, just to get referrals, I would have accumulated more than $16 over a 4 year period. This company is a scam just to get people to sign up, spend money, and then take away their referral bonuses!
