    That's just the domain registrar I think. The actual registrant is:

    It mentions it here, looks like a scam

  • yeah i think thies is a DEFINATE scam.

    started in 2005 but website only created a few days a go??

    the enter site button is an image ,not hyperlinked,so to access these offers they are probably relying on the fact that if they post it on a board on a freebie site it will soon be spread across the internet.

    and when searched into yahoo the first result is a direct link to the free cushion,
    plus i dont know of any legit sites that put a pie chart on there hompage telling you the profits of there pareny company!

    as the person above has also mentioned they get money from you visiting there site so dont be clicking as thats what they want us to do!

    i would stay very clear if i was you!

    I just have to say... I have just registered my business on some free directories and some don't have the option to say the business was set up in 2006, the date only goes up to 2005.

    So if you look on 'touch nottingham' for my business, it'll say i set up in 2005, but I could not physically put 2006. Perhaps this was no fault of their own... I love cushties, I got mine 2 years ago and is a bit squished now, so a new one would be ideal... fingers crossed
