Got a few XBL messages about this from Show, JSB/Veryvoid and Davey (plus a tweet from Davey).

I'm assuming it's a scam or something from things I've heard on Twitter. I've not clicked anything because if it seems too good to be true and all that, but just thought I'd warn you lot.

Davey_Pitch · 29-03-2010, 22:09

Yeah, it seems to be. Looks quite easy to start with but it just wants you fill out tons of surveys. Sorry for spamming people, thought it was genuine to start with :/

Haly · 29-03-2010, 22:14

Ahh didn't realise you'd actually sent the messages!
I assumed it was all automated.

Don't mind the spam, was just worried about people's account security and all that

Davey_Pitch · 29-03-2010, 22:15

Yeah, it looked genuine as I've seen other sites do similar things (do surveys, you get a reward), but here it just sends you through hoops and doesn't seem to work at all.

I managed to get three parts of a code but no further. Not sure if anyone has managed it or not. I suspect not.

Didn't really consider a thread with such a vague title in GD would have much to do with the 360

Anyway, didn't mean to cause a fuss. Was just worried people had slipped up somewhere

Hence my little winky face

It was a good call, Jen - It looks like viral crap to get details out of people. I gave a disposable email address and a postal address of somewhere I used to live many years ago so it's not the end of the world.

Yeah I have to say that site looks a little.....questionable.

The Real Hustle has taught me well though:

Being a tight git, student etc I thought I'd give it a shot despite my scepticism

I'm home for easter now though and only had 2 clicks when I left sheffield. Will see how many I have when I get back in two weeks and maybe have a look at the surveys. They might be a great excuse to procrastinate!
