QUOTE(Csshih @ Feb 12 2008, 12:12 PM) I signed up for that about a year ago. Nothing yet. It's one of those google ads money making scams. If you check the domain name registration, you'll get this: You only get a proxy domain if you want to hide your info. It's a scam. and serverPh, they have sister sites that say they'll give you stress balls, beer muugs, etcf. As I stated before, my friend actually received a flash drive in the mail. I've seen it with my own two eyes. I would not lie about this... there is nothing in it for me.

well this could be your website and if we click on your ad's you could be getting the money, and I would assume your friend doesn't have the original packaging and photos with it. Of course for all we know the USB drives are rigged with viruses, trojans and other nasty stuff, and who knows I could get spam, and maybe they will try and steal my identity. I wonder what would happen if I send an email to them asking to remove my info? Of course if you want to do an adsense scam you would have a lot more ad's on your site, and set it up that after each time you click each link you get tagged with all these ads.

Of course I have plenty of USB sticks I got about 4Gb worth in 5 sticks .

It's a scam. I tried it about 2 months ago. No spam, surprisingly, but no USB either.

well, yea, its not really bad to sign up, I have not recieved anything weird or any spam. (actually.. who knows? I have so much spam On my gmail, I don't really keep track of it.)

doesn't hurt to try, just use a spam email address.

and how do you know your friend received the flash drive from that website?
He could of signed up for some other promotion.

This doesn't make sense to me that people are willing to give out their street address, but not for an email address that you could always just get a new one for free. I'm not getting that.

My guess is that people get extremely annoyed by junk mail in their email inbox, and it's extremely common because it is free for advertising companies to send out hundreds of thousands of spam emails. On the other hand, it costs (potentially quite a lot of) money for the same advertising company to physically send out postal mail, so it's far less common. I get somewhere around 50-100 junk emails every single day at my most used email account, yet my entire family gets maybe one or two letters from credit card companies daily. Do you see my point?
