Facebook as social proof (of creditworthiness !!) ? I somehow don't buy <no pun> it.
- rdl 14y agoI wouldn't be willing to delete my FB profile and start over for $50. If you tie a purchase to that profile, so I might be able to scam you for $50 once per "real" FB profile sometimes, that's acceptable. What's not acceptable is letting a Russian organization scam you for N x $50 where N is as many random email addresses as they can generate. Similarly, I'm not going to throw away my iPhone for $50. If there were a way to strongly tie an account to a physical iPhone, with no more than 1 account per iPhone, that solves a lot of problems. Then your only problem is if I make a piece of malware which goes to everyone else's iPhone, opens an account, and then somehow sends me the benefits.
