Has anyone heard of this company. www.juiceboosted.com/index.php They claim to have software to boost your "dial-up" to 2mb. It seems they have the first 80 million accounts free, after which you pay £2.99 a month. It looks too good to be true. I joined up, just in case…

Looks like a snake-oil front for a pyramid/affiliate scam.
The claims on the site are complete and utter rubbish. Just look at what they say they`re offering: a piece of software which can give you a 2MB connection through a 9600bps modem?! Turning water into wine would be easier!
I`d give this one a wide berth.

Scam or not, that appears to be an affiliate link up there doesn`t it?

Errr..
Since there`s only about 60 millon peeps in the UK, where`s the other 20 mill first free accounts gonna come from. (don`t tell me, it works on foreign modems too...?)
Did anyone also see the claims about email spam and virus infections (i.e giving you £500 if you system gets unfected, or £100 for spam emails?). Had to laugh.
Who are these nutters? Even as a scam, it doesn`t come close to credible?? :/

Tis indeed - removed :D
As for the offer itself, the usual sayings :

I`d actually removed the referral code in the link, not the whole link.
You sure got a smart mouth, mister... :D

For some reason though, it still says this site is run by afflilliate.... whatever it was, when you click on the above link :)
