Now as many know there are alot of scams out there, Alot, many that is alot. Going into which types there are would be too annoying to cover but hey its kinda funny to see the people who believe most of them. Granted most are legit however cost you more time then the valve of the card itself., leaving a bad taste in your mouth when you could have just saved up the money and bought a item from that store…
Now there are websites like Servey websites who of course grant you a item/ giftcard and that of course is what they call Offer submission marketing, meaning, you place your information, they take it, sell it to advertisers, and other companies and make more money then what that pencil that you are saving for is even worth on paper. Is this blog a warning, well no hell I personally do not care what others do with their time, looking up porn, getting malware from torrents. All the power to them, but the Greatest bit of this is where the Gaming comes in. “Hey you just won a Xbox 360 Gold time card!” ” a WoW timecard” like magically some sort of energy for this announcer decided it was your lucky day on the net, so here take it a card of everlasting fun and Phishing!
Now are kids and people gullible to buy this crap, well thats where these people get their energy from. Why these ads are there, people give their information, and endup giving these companies more revenue, more traffic, more addresses, more information, more more more to the point that it only feeds the beast, so you wonder why those annoy pop-ups or ads are there?
