We have reviewed [redacted]'s account and have found the signups she used to be in violation with the terms of our promotion as they were not real accounts. As a result we have disqualified those entries.
Our records show [redacted]'s account was...

associated with 63 signups between February 10 and February 18
1) Of the 63 signups, 61 of the entries signed up from the same computer. This computer was also the same computer that [redacted] used to sign up for her original account.
2) Unlike normal signups, all of the signups associated with [redacted]'s account occur consecutively in four blocks of a few hours each over the course of a few days. Within each block, all or the vast majority of signups all appeared from the same domain. For example, on February 10, all 15 the signups were from the @yahoo.com domain and on February 18, all 40 signups were from the domain @myway.com with no other domains represented.
3) The vast majority of email addresses do not appear to represent real people. Some examples of email address signup names from [redacted]
4) Our fraud detection system compares usage and activity of spurious accounts to those of normal members. In this case, the activities of these members match those of fake accounts and do not correspond to actual members.
As a result of this information we have terminated all accounts that do not appear to be real entries and have disqualified those entries for violating the rules of the promotion.
Our promotion rules (http://www.shopittome.com/gift_card_rules) clearly state that entries considered to be fake will be disqualified:
No fake submissions or SPAM: Shop It To Me has, at its discretion, the right to disqualify any individual who tampers with the entry process or any entry where referrals are acquired in a "dubious manner" or are not considered to be real. A "dubious manner" includes but is not limited to the following:
* Sending unsolicited emails to strangers or people you do not know. Any SPAM complaints will result in immediate disqualification and removal from the Shop It To Me service.
* Discussing/announcing the gift card reward promotion is prohibited and may result in disqualification from this promotion.
* Using temporary, fake, or unused email addresses as "referred" friends.
* Using any email account which is less than 20 days old.
* Using the phrase "shop it to me" or any variant in any type of paid or search advertising.
* Having the same individual sign up multiple times with different email addresses.
* Compensating individuals in any way for registering with a specified referral link.
* As of 1/22/2015, posting a referral link on any site or social media account (such as but not limited to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter) where Shop It To Me determines, at its discretion, the primary focus is free coupons, free offers, extreme-couponing, or a similar focus is prohibited regardless of the content of the post and may result in disqualification from the promotion and termination of your account.
We treat issues of fake accounts very seriously as it can affect our relationships with our partners.

As it is more than apparent this "company" is a bunch of lying scam artists they need to stop emailing everyone of my friends immediately. They were all waiting around to see if they were going to follow through before they sent out links of their own and I have already begun sending out emails to let them know this company is fraudulent. But, in the meantime stop contacting us. Yes, I say US you sack of human excrement because as "fun" as it would be to have over 60 email accounts I only have 3 and you only have 1 of them. So go to [redacted]!
