We can usually determine whether or not that has happened. Nearly every time it does, both accounts are terminated. Not suspended; terminated. It's a ploy frequently used to tout worthless companies and one of my personal pet peeves, so a lot of work goes into checking to see if it's happening. I won't discuss specifically how we accomplish this, and I'd appreciate it if the comm-savvy among us don't either, since nabbing these people depends to some extent on their technical ineptitude. Anytime anyone suspects that two accounts are being used by the same person or organization, they should send us the URLs to both profiles so we can check into it. Regards, SI Admin (Bob)
