Yep, it wasn't until I removed the period from the end of her provided link, that I actually got into the website.</p> <p>It only took me a couple of minutes to see the *writing on the wall*. I've just been busy doing other things and have not been back here to post further, until just a minute ago.</p> <p>All that to say this: You are correct, spam all the way on that offer of a freebie! Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Kate was spamming, just that the website is trying their best to lure people into their scheme. After all, Kate did post a disclaimer, yes? :-)</p> <p>Take care, friend! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2102#post-12871 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 03:20:26 +0000 Lockett 12871@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>The random capitalization is a good warning sign, too. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2102#post-12858 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 00:23:07 +0000 ShieldsUp 12858@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Freeware, this is spam personified. A growing number of get rich quick spammers have found a new lure by creating "informative" ebooks and instant web site packages as a way to ensnare gullible people. Then, they bombard the suckers with spam trying to get them to upgrade and buy a bunch of add ons.<br /> The web site wasn't dead, just the URL she posted. If you go to the main page, you get hit with several pages of poorly designed in-your-face touting.
