Hey guys, I was visiting another website, and I got this pop-up ad. Saying that I won 2.1k USD.

Have any of you guys ever gotten this before. And how real is it? Because I've gotten a few of them, like I even won and Audi TT online before. But because it's only for US, I can't claim the reward.

This time, it's international. How authentic is it? Should I bother giving a call? Or is it just another advertising scam. After I call them, their going to bombard me with their junk?

Are you joking? I hope so. Do not ever call them back. Those are as real as the Nigerian letters.

Yep. Treat all online pop-up advertising as scams. They pretty much all are. Or ring them up, give them no further information, and demand they send you the prize you just won. If they agree to send it, hang up, if they keep pressing for more information, you can start to get abusive. It wastes an afternoon.

Oh darn. Thought I didn't have to work the rest of the summer hols anymore :p

Anyway, in case anyone wants to try. (First call first get). I'm going to post the picture of the thingy. Call and try. If you get the money... good luck :)

Tell me what you spend with it.

Very few of those are legit. Most are simply an attempt to gather email addresses to sell. Good rule of thumb: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't.

Btw, I went to their website.. nothing came up. I guesss it's another one of those damn hoaxes.

Sigh If all these we're true. By now, I would have gotten an Audi TT, a house in Canada, and probably few thousand dollars richer :p

I remember when I was the millionth visitor to this website.

Yup. I was the 10 millionth visitor on another website.

I remember when I was the millionth visitor to this website.

I can't remember which site it was, but I've been their millionth visitor about fifteen times now. I'm quite impressed with that.

Ok thanks :p.

hehehe, that's like that "get 30 people to sign up to us, and you get a free iPod!"

now, i already have the supreme Creative Nomad Zen Xtra 60Gb, so I thought "well, if this is legit, i can always ebay it once it arrives" ..so i checked it out..

The terms and conditions are so backward that it's hilarious...one stated "the main prize may change at any time" , and another: "completing the desired task may not result in being awarded the prize"

So..

Not only could it CHANGE to be a biro pen, but they are also loop-holed into not giving you that pen....

Internet Scam Evil Geniuses, I Salute You!

Same here, I've won so many viruses for being a noob.. .. ..

Do they think we are stupid or something?

Free biro! w00t! What? Free Viruses too! YAY! It's my lucky day! *grins moronically whilst computer slowly melts*

Back on topic, I was once the millionth visitor to another site... :D

ehhhmmm, yes, was there ever any doubt?

I think you meant to say: Good rule of thumb: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Not isn't. What you said was a double negative, which implied that it wasn't too good to be true. i.e. It was bona fide.

No need to thank me.
