Why does Maxbounty ask if I used Proxy when signup as affiliate

[Tran Van Toan]

I signed up as Maxbounty affiliate then they called me for a phone interview and asked why I used proxy to signup. I was very surprised because I've never setup any proxy on my Laptop. I answered him that I didn't use proxy but then he hang up immediately, few seconds later I got an email notify me that my application was rejected and I can't signup again for now and in the future.

Have you ever seen same case before?

You are on the *shit list* your ISP is anyway
Asian and Latin American IP addresses are more closely scrutinized -- this may not be fair to you but this is the world we live in.

Your ISP should have a reverse DNS!
You look like a server in a datacenter with no hostname

Yes, I know some networks don't like affiliates from Asian. But I think they would rather block new signup from these countries completely than allow us to have an interview then reject it this way. When he hang up the phone right after I said the truth I don't use any proxy, I felt like he was treating me as I am a Lier

Anyway, I better find other networks.
