Website real or fake?

[John2009]

A website named www.points2shop.com(nov iframe or hacked no worries) offers thinngs for free via activities. I read WOT and siteadivisor and they both siad the samethign, its legit but make a fake email address because lots of spam. Finjan gives it green. Thoughts on this?

Nothing like this is truly free there is usually a payback in the form of gathering marketing information and possibly the delivery of target adverts.

You need to read their Privacy, Terms and Conditions, etc. before you even consider it.

What DavidR goes on about: I think you get 250 points for registering and verifying your phone not 250 points for each one. I f you just sign-up without confirming your phone number you will get zero points. So nothing for free, folks...

People say just create 2 emails, one for code prizes(Xbox points wii points) and one for junk mail you receive accepting the offers for points. You also put in your address. There is a forum on that website with pictures of the "prizes" people won.

When you have to go to any length to avoid possibly marketing spam, do you want to deal with a company that does business in this way, I wouldn't.

So it looks like you have already made up your mind, your system your choice.

I dont know really, I do need the stuff, but I will investigate further.
