Here I'll review all cheating & scam of uploading services to their uploaders.
First in my scam-list:
DDownload is a scam service that steals money from their uploaders.
Uploaders lose their money, earning only 25% instead of 100% referral earnings.
DDL counts referral earnings only for 1 of 4 premium purchases by referral link. All other paid referrals in the referral list magically disappear after premium account purchase completed by them.
Their scam has been confirmed by several tests on multiple DDownload accounts.
During the test all DDownload rules are followed. Each time - there's new IP, new browser, and no cookies in private browsing mode.
Video PROOF:
2. Shaving scam is NOT a problem of time interval between premium purchases. It scams the same way even if you buy every hour, or every day. And i can tell you more, there's a bigger chance of getting paid referral earning if time interval is small.
3. I can create and upload a NEW VIDEO of DDownload shaving scam, using any conditions proposed in comments, and result will be the same. I even will thank one, who will tell me how to make all my referral earning count.
1. Login to your account with any uploaded file (account U) using your regular IP address, and count your current referrals via SETTINGS > MY REFERRALS
2. Open another browser with cleared cookies, and configure it for another IP address using anonymizer/proxy server. Or use another computer or mobile device.
3. Follow download link to your file from account U.
4. Process with signup process of new account A
5. Switch to account U, and see your referral list via SETTINGS > MY REFERRALS > More info, you’ll see, there’s added a newly created account A. It means your newly created referral has been counted, and the total amount of all referrals tells you the same.
6. Now switch to account A and pay for the premium account using the desired method. Wait for your payment to be completed and account A gets the premium status.
7. Switch to account U and refresh your page of referrals. The buyer's name will NOT GET A GOLDEN STAR & immediately DISAPPEAR from your referral list after successfully payment in 3 of 4 cases.
Even if you get a golden star during the first test - don't die from happiness, it's a scam randomizer, which gives you a star with a probability of 25%. Test it again for a few times, and you'll see how often your referral earnings goes to DDL admin's pocket.
This scam began approx. 4 month ago. In the previous time ALL sales have been counted the whole time. Feel free to make this test by yourself.
IMPORTANT: Maybe the admins will temporarily break that shaving orgy after reading this comment and restore the earnings for a while. DON'T BE NAIVE, test it again in 1 or 2 week later.
Post a screenshot (or live video) of your referral list after creating a testing account and the second one after payment to show other uploaders how the referral name (sale) disappears from the referral list without to get a gold star.
Check it out yourself, and use only honorable upload services to make business with.
Feel free to post your questions. Or description of another file upload services scam.

According to users comments:
1. Shaving scam is NOT a VPN problem, the same situation using very fine proxies, or even without them. The only difference - I need to show it on video, so I use services to change my IP.2. Shaving scam is NOT a problem of time interval between premium purchases. It scams the same way even if you buy every hour, or every day. And i can tell you more, there's a bigger chance of getting paid referral earning if time interval is small.
