I know cash is king, but from what I uncovered behind hiring writers makes me weary to offer cash incentives.

I now know that one will go through extreme measures to hide their identity in order to get a chance at extra cash.

In the case of a writer, they "laundered" payments through 2 different PayPal accounts and seemingly went undetected for a while before more extreme fingerprinting that I do caught up to them to trigger it.

What would they do for a $50 or $100 payment if they were doing all of that for an extra $10/wk?

I honestly wouldn't have minded if they were open about it and admitted to it because the quality was good, but they played stupid as if they didn't get caught red-handed, which irritated me to enough to drop them on the spot.

Yeah I would have a problem with that too. Like you've mentioned if they were honest from the start maybe I'd let it pass (though I wouldn't want 1 person making 2 separate accounts) but then finding out that you've been sending money to the same person just different accounts would be upsetting to say the least.
