    If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck - it's a duck. I'd stay a million miles away.

    Not only that your be an affiliate of an affiliate. The problem your have is having to drive traffic to your site,as your no doubt aware its a very cut throat market place.

    "RegencyNet also owns d4Mobiles.com, an online retailer of mobile phones in the UK. As an affiliate of e2save, a trading division of The Carphone Warehouse Limited, we are able to provide customers with "high street values at internet prices".

    For more information about d4Mobiles please visit our website at www.d4mobiles.com "

    Drive traffic to your website,advertise it etc etc etc.

    It does tell you " All you need to do is get your website noticed. Simply bring potential customers to your websites and our deals will sell themselves. We will then handle everything for you - credit checks for your customers, connection and dispatch of their new phones and all aftercare service. All you need to do is advertise your site... that's it!"

    Where would you advertise? in newspapers or online or both?

    I signed up for one of the "4u" (think it was called that..) mobile phone affiliate websites a few years ago and I actually did make some money out of it for doing absolutely nothing - probably about £100 in total, but that was over at least 18 months.

    I had absolutely no idea (or budget) on how to properly drive people to the site though and eventually it just dried up so I got rid of it.
