    THIS IS A GOOGLE ADS SITE!

    They have "adapted". Now they only present you the GoogleAds after clicking "SUBMIT".

    They do not collect data. Their PHP form does not even work on the server. You can submit data without even entering anything.

    THIS IS A SPAM SITE. DO NOT BOTHER.

    I'm sure I wouldn't like it either ... if I could understand it :o
  • How can you get ripped off when you don't type in any bank details at all? It looks like scammers are just finding new ways to get people onto their sites.

    At the end of the day, you lose nothing. Just a few minutes of time. Either way, shame it's fake. :)

    Peoples information is worth money. Companies compile lists of details that people are foolish enough to enter into sites like this, and sell them on to various spamming/junk mail companies. This is where it's a scam. They offer you a supposed freebie that never turns up, and in return you give them your private details that they can sell onto other marketing companies to make a profit.

    This sites privacy policy offers no opt out from marketing, or them selling your information on to other spammers/junk mailers. This is a very bad sign on its own. This would be illegal (Data Protection Act) in the UK.
