I'm an attorney. That is not my field, and I am not your lawyer.
That said, I refer you to Aldo Raine:
Long story short, we hear a story too good to be true, it ain't.
Don't do it.

Then they will jail one of the personalities. don't think that is going to work out to well for the others.

I know you are not and would never take anything you said as legal advice, I was just curious because of your name.
From what I have read in order to be charged with fraud ALL 5 of these things need to be proven:
(1) a false statement of a material fact,(2) knowledge on the part of the defendant that the statement is untrue, (3) intent on the part of the defendant to deceive the alleged victim, (4) justifiable reliance by the alleged victim on the statement, and (5) injury to the alleged victim as a result.
I put the first in bold because no false statement would be made. I would be signing up with email addresses that would be mine, I would be using my real name, real credit card and shipping to my real address. That is ALL of the info they ask for and none of it would be a misrepresentation. I would guess that makes it not fraud, I also know it isn't theft, so I don't know what laws it would be breaking.

People are just now finding out about this site?
Posted on 3/5/15 at 4:09 pm to lsu480
Seriously though email it to me to look at. I won't order shite because, like you, I am not a fan of jail. I am just curious to read their legal disclaimers on it.

They don't have anything in place to stop you from doing it, but is it legal?
Read the fine print. They almost definitely have an agreement where you, by clicking, confirm that you are referring a new person/are not continually referring yourself. It's usually a per person and/or household limit. Should you gloss over this and break the agreement (should it exist) as you propose, they'll probably find you out fairly quickly by seeing the number of addresses you are shipping to. When they see the offer has claimed $2k on one single address, they'll likely pursue legal action for breach of terms of service and look for a way to make you pay for what you've received beyond the amount they, in the fine print, allowed you. I don't know law very well or even pretend to, but I don't see that battle, should it make it that far, going well for you.
If there's no fine print in the agreement (which I very, very highly doubt), then you've possibly found a gold mine to exploit until they figure it out.

(4) justifiable reliance by the alleged victim on the statement

(5) injury to the alleged victim as a result.
Just for arguments sake.

There is a federal computer fraud act. It is pretty broad.
If you are signing up as a "new user" and you are one person, I'd call that a false statement of material fact.
Plus if you drill down into the terms and condition of site usage, I'm betting they cover this.
It ain't worth twenty bucks, or twenty bucks times five, or twenty bucks times fifty. Period.
Maybe the thrill of getting one over on the site is a bonus for you. I get that. It still ain't a good idea.

When you sign in you aren't signing in as a new user, they only ask you to enter your email and a password to "gain access". Also, you don't have to agree to any policies and they don't have a terms and conditions page. It is very odd and irresponsible on their part.

Damn, that one is pretty good but they have terms and conditions you would have to read and they may track credit card #s or shipping addresses and limit them to one per account.

You're trying awfully hard to justify it, but you're playing with fire, baw.
