Watch out for this one. I did some *experimenting* and, whenever I do one of their *offers*, while it DOES credit, a week or so later I get a fraudulent check in the mail claiming I won an *international lottery* of some sort out of Canada. The checks are REAL checks, but they're forgeries. I called the banks the checks were drawn on and the routing numbers are incorrect.
They try to get you to deposit the money towards "clearing fees" and will outright tell you in their *letters* to keep the winnings quiet until your additional money is sent. They give you about 4 days to send them your clearing fees or you *forfeit* the winnings. This is done so you have no time to wait for the check to clear your bank and it will eventually bounce and be returned as a fraud. (not that I even contemplated cashing it, just used to work at a bank so I know the clearing times).
HUGE scam.
