Scams

I came across a website today http://www.thinkall.com/
It said that it will give you a free cd.
As i clicked along filling in my details, it offered even more free stuff. In total it was offering up to $US300 worth of things all for the a postage and handling fee of $2.96.

I was half filling in my credit card details when my mum started annoying me about how dangerous the internet is.

Then i thought about it... why give me $300 worth of stuff but charge me $3? then i remembered that some of the software can actually be downloaded for free else where.

So I stopped there and searched "thinkall" on google.

ThinkAll sends you the goods and makes you send them back within ten days. otherwise they charge you for them. They also charge you a membership fee (49bucks) and you have to pay to cancel it.
