I seriously dont understand why Ziroc had to censor the website. I want to get an Ipod too. I did a google search for the site but couldnt find it. Can anyone tell me?

I dont think it's scam because the guy said it isn't. And there is the list of users who have already received theirs. Besides, the worst that can happen is that I wont receive anything. What's to lose?

I'm joking! Wonder how many will see this hidden text.

You can lose that the site installs viruses and spyware on your computer.

Well there are hints... First of all, it's the guys first post, adn that by itself is a dead giveaway of a scam. Give me your e-mail address? It's signing up to your daily dose of SPAM. And some SPAM organisations/people/degenerates actually share their addresses. Would you like your account full of penis enlargement, lose weight, become a millionaire and all the rest of the SPAM family? Don't think so. Next, try contacting any one of the actual recievers fo teh free iPod, they either don't exist, or are employees of the company, Road Runner in this case. Third, the risk of recieving advertisement, spyware SPAM and other generally bad stuff is enough to make you not even click the MORONIC URL.

That user is called stevens and isn't the same one. His posts are pretty stupid though also.

You were responding to ZFR, right? Maybe you should check his post more thoroughly...

Hidden Text or not, [img]smile.gif[/img] Ever hear of the saying "A sucker is born every minute"? Don't be that sucker. It IS a scam, I have investigated these things.

Damn it! Missed that one! THANK YOU Kakero for letting us know. I am getting sick of this, and I'm seriously thinking of looking into legal ways to combat this new form of spamming. I blocked his ENTIRE IP subnet too--this was the same frick that created an account last week. I banned his exact IP that time. If I have to ban his ENTIRE 61.44.xx.xx I will.
