A website called gatenbys is clamaiming to be giving away free w810i's amoung other things. All you have to do is get other people to sign up and click on a link to "fulfill" an advertising offer (just click on the ebay one and click completed this offer)
Thought some of you might wanna help me find out if this is actaully the case:
http://www.gatenbys.com/?r=124936
just use that link and sign up.
Any feedback on if this is real or not would be nice too.

Thanks
Bard

Is this a scam?

Absolutely not. In fact this was featured on the BBC and NBC. Have a look at this video clip from the BBC here

The above is a quote from their website.
However,it may be a case of proceed with caution!

Yeah, the details they want are only name, address and email so it doesn't seem too harmful.
Actually, maybe they're sneekier than i thought. They actually want me to sign up and buy stuff... can't be bothered with that and would be a brilliant phishing scam....

I take that back, all links look pretty legit to me
