Redeem your prize here! bit.ly/Zbdvir I guess im the first who has posted where theyr offering the ipad 4 that or $1000!! ??? Why??What is the point of these peeps doing this?? I mean does it send a virus to ur fone or something if u click on the link? How does a scammer make money by doing this?? I really dont understand? Has anyone else actually clicked on the link to see what actually happens? Any info, insights, or thoughts on this would be interesting! Thanks

Hi I am new to all this kind of thing, but we have been contacted by a cnopamy called Holiday Impact Consultancy Ltd offering to get us out of our timeshare points with Diamond Resorts but we need to pay c2a31000 upfront on credit card as this will protect us and then once they have got us out of the contract they will need another c2a31500. Thanks
