Fraud - what is it and why we stop it

We see a few different types of fraudulent activity on the platform and we want each and every Caddle member to understand the Terms of Use so that no prohibited activities prevent them from participating on our platform. 

Here is a handy guide that keeps the rules short & sweet!

• Members may only have ONE (1) account - As a platform that collects insights from our members, we can not allow any member to respond to surveys more than once. 
• Members may only submit receipts ONE (1) time - this doesn’t mean that one receipt can’t be used to claim more than one offer, it simply means that it can only be submitted to the relevant offers once. Our system will automatically recognize a ‘Duplicate’ submission when your upload is being processed, and your submission will be declined. 
• Members can only refer real people - Yes, this sounds silly, who else would people refer? Well, you might be surprised! It's possible for someone to generate dozens of fake email accounts and then refer those accounts and try to earn $1.00 over and over! Sometimes, people go so far as to create multiple email accounts for themselves, and then go through the effort to create multiple Caddle accounts for themselves, only to be caught and that effort be wasted. We advise against referral fraud because at the end of the day, it only wastes the time of the person committing the fraud. 
• Members may not adjust or manipulate receipts - We've seen it all. Members scribble out UPCs on receipts, or write down the product name because it's not on the receipt, or scratch out the date on the receipt. Some members are pretty sophisticated and use editing software to change certain details on the receipts so they can resubmit again and again, and it's almost impossible to notice with the human eye. Luckily, we use computers and those computers can tell when images have been edited. The end result is that the technology we use flags these uploads and the member who submitted it ends up without a Caddle account. 
• Members can not submit false information - This might be a bit more complicated than it sounds, but we can keep it brief. Don't use a fake name or fake information on your profile, don't take surveys if you're not interested in responding sincerely, don't submit fake receipts and don't create a Caddle account if the above rules make you uncomfortable. 

We like our platform and love our members - we want you to have good experiences and earn lots of cash back. We need members to participate sincerely and that's what makes our platform valuable to our clients. A solid member base means more business for us, and more cash for you - a symbiotic relationship that will be an unstoppable force!
