Our Policy
At present, when a user
reports a case of fraud to us, we delete the suspect's offers
and web site and cancel their membership to guard against possible
repeat offences. We also maintain a blacklist of offenders to
ensure that they do not gain admittance to Offer21 at a later
date. It is important to note that these steps may be taken on
the suspicion of fraud, before obtaining evidence.
Offer21 cannot act as a
mediator in disputes between companies regarding cases of fraud.
By its very nature, international fraud is extremely difficult
to prosecute, and while small cases are frequent, few are resolved
satisfactorily. All Offer21 members are
advised to be vigilant at all time
