I've not come across this site before, is it kosher?
https://hotcrazydeal.com

EDIT: It is a scam, once you have given them your card details they take £29 a month as membership deal. Posts below explain, do not fall for this.

I am leaving the post up in case anyone else finds this site and looks here for information.

  • All those deals look too good to be true. I'm frightened to take the plunge!

    Read the small print - to join the site you must agree to a £29.90 PER MONTH fee. They say its free to quit, but I bet it isn't easy.
  • Please don't go do it, it's a scam!

    Found searching this company

    This site advertises refund vouchers of approx value £30, sold for a few pounds. However it is not at all clear from the T&Cs that in giving the credit card details to purchase a voucher, one is also signing up for a £30/month subscription. The account status on the website does not show that the subscription is in effect, nor does it provide a way to cancel the subscription.

    Thanks, I thought it looked too good to be true. The terms and conditions wouldn't even load for me.

    Might be an idea to edit your original post to ensure that no foolhardy people jump in!
