    If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. :)

    Something to do with referrals I'd guess (similar to a pyramid scheme)

    It is probably like those get a free ipod website. But I've heard some people actually got that to work and it is not a scam. So I'm not sure about this one.

    Its real and I dont know if your just trying to get referrals or not but the link you have there has a referral ID. (if you knew this, then you should be banned)

    Anyway, its real, the catch is you have to sign up, do a free trial offer costing anywhere from 1-50$, and get X amount of people to sign up under your referral link and do the same thing.

    Check out ReferralSwapper.com if you want to learn more about it. Heres a short list of what Ive recieved so far:
    -42'' panasonic plasma tv
    -ipod: 30gb video, shuffle
    -sony 19'' lcd
    -sony psp
    -sony ps2
    -fujifilm e900 digital camera
    -and certain sites allow you to cash out instead of recieving a gift and so far Ive recieved 6000$ in paypal.


    Not trying to lure anyone into this, just letting you all know its real and legit.

    The fraud check on my Opera browser is showing me that it is an insecure and unknown site.
    I for one will definitely never give away my personal details like home address etc. at an insecure site, and I suggest you do the same.

    I would say it is a scam. I would never trust sites like those.
