Response to naysayers:
Some of you are unbelievable. All the post does is encourage you to be careful with your personal information, to think hard about the type of schemes you are getting yourself into and to excersize caution and discretion with credit/financial decisions. So the only people whose parnassah is getting screwed by this are those that are relying on duping others to some extent.

They probably paid for a year's worth of ads. Not going to be easy to stop them.

These guys are operating a business. Lots of people are too lazy to work the CC scene so this is basically like paying someone to do it for you. Although I think it's a huge waste and of course a risk, people have to realize that this is a business and it appeals to many people who don't have time or energy for churning and MS. It's not the job of the DDF to shut them down. All we can do is try to inform people of the risks and of the fact that if they do it themselves they can earn much much more.
