View Full Version : Anyone used registeronce.com?

I pulled the registeronce.com banner off of Iwon.com. They pay you $.50 to $2.00 per site to register you at various (non-sweepstakes) sites, although Cybergold was one of the choices). The sites were all stuff I was interested in anyway, so I did it. One week later, I still haven't been contacted by any of them. Registeronce.com DID send me a confirmation, which I clicked to revisit them. Of course at that time they solicited referrals and offered more registrations. Had I just signed up directly, the sites would have been instant registrations. Emails to webmaster and postmaster@registeronce.com have all come back undeliverable.

They are a subsidiary of Lifeminders.com (you remember, the worst ad of the Superbowl, LOL) so I would have thought they are legit. Anyway, I tried entering some of the sites they were to have registered at (like lifeminders, onvia, powerize), using the username and password I gave them...and none of the sites acknowledge me. Something seems either "not right," or pretty lame. Just wondering, thanks, ~Geo.

George, be very careful of anything to do with Lifeminders. Should you wish to unsubscribe, it takes ages, and almost an act of congress. A friend of mine actually had to threaten legal proceedings to get them to stop sending constant junk from ALL their sites. I got involved with 800.horiscopes (one of their subsidiaries), with the same results. I tried for months (using their exact instructions!) to get them to stop, but every a.m., there they were again. I emailed every possible person at that site for ages; finally got help from one of their astrologists. Again, just be careful.

I second Joni on that one. I finally did have to get pretty threatening with them to get off their multitude of lists. I mean, it's pretty bad when I have to pull the "I'm a lawyer" cat out of the bag because I NEVER do that if I can help it. So maybe it's a blessing that the registeronce thing isn't working. I suspect you're better off.
