Inevitable IP address problems - Freebie Society

Hello
When I first started this business I was on a sat connection and hat no troubles
But I lost the satalight in a house fire a couple years ago and couldn’t afford to replace it
So I was stuck on dialup till last spring (O how I HATE dialup)
Then I got a cell connection (AND LOVED it)

Just today I had my first IP trouble with a site
Was put on hold because my IP was the same as a scammer
I sent in a scan of my health card (photo ID) and the hold was lifted
But when talking to my ISP about the problem I discovered that Rogers just has 20 IP’s that they somehow split people over on their cell phone connections from all over Canada
Makes me wonder why I didn’t have trouble long ago
But I got them to give me a static IP (just me using it) for $10 a month
So problem salved for now

However this cell connect is going UP UP UP in price
Was $100 a month for unlimited downloads
Now it’s $150 for just 15GB
However I just learned of another connection I can get from Rogers
They call it portable and it’s just $44 a month for 30GB
But unfortunately it cannot give me a static IP
So ill be back on a public IP and inevitably have trouble
The price and service is just to much better though so I have ordered it and it should be in next week

If you would like I can send you some scans of my ID’s in an email to prove who I am
Thought I should deal with this before your scanners detect me using the same IP as some scammer

You should contact every freebie site that you work with and let them know what is going on with your IP and send them ID should they request it. Its easier to get those kinds of things out of the way before it stops business in its tracks.

ok thanks

Also just to cover yourself, you may want to start keeping a log of any IP's you are using, this way if any questions come up you know which ones are yours. Just google IP checker and you will find tools to do that.

What is the reason for having the cell connection? Why cant you get cable or dsl?

Its just an idea, this is a unique situation, you never know what might come in handy. Should any problems occur, you will have a log of any IPs that you were under, and they can be cross checked against any other questionable IPs if they question your identity.

intresting idea though I suspect it would do little good unless there own logs have me using the same IP's I show them
