[blackmagic95]

Outspark trading scams for SC :O

[saiyou8]

At least one of them is a scam, I don't know if they all are though.
There was something about one of those cellphone services in the news, they were scamming money from people~ =/

[Andromeda]

There is another dodgy one or 2 I saw in there you sent 25 dollars to them and they would then send you a link to activate your account to get paid for doing surveys.

I'm curious are any of them actually legit and not scams and has anyone received anything from them yet?

I created another email for this purpose so my current email would not be flooded from this useless junk I created an account did all their surveys as required and got nothing from it.

Somehow I think this is pointless scam advertising so Outspark can gain money without giving anything back in return

[blackmagic95]

Don't pay for a dam thing from any of those Free Sparkcash things >.>
They are ALL scams.

Be sure of reading their company ToS/T&C providing the "free sparkcash program" throughly as there's a catch to it where you were asked to key in your cellphone number but you will be charge a premium fee weekly and receive unwanted junks until you called them to discontinue their "service" and remember that there's no free lunch in the world!

[jiece]

Jeez how low can Outspark fall. >>

[spmasta]

They're not scams, per say. They're highly deceptive marketing ploys. They'll charge you ungodly monthly fees for services you don't want, spam your email, USPS mail, and cell phone, and a whole host of other undesirable things. It's all laid out in their ToS. Read before you sign up. Decipher the legal mumbojumbo.

Not all of them are like this, but the majority that I saw on the list are.

I see what Outspark is doing here - they're trying to introduce their customers to the real world, where money takes precedence over ethics. Bravo Outspark, bravo.

[WinterClown]

I completed two of the [Free] surveys:
-First with real info
-Then with fake info
Got no SC at all >.>'
Scam scam scam...

[chibi_pet]

LOL spmasta

[Duncan636]

i tried the mobile ones and got like 4000 sc from it, but only 3 of the ones i tried worked every other one it kept saying the pin i got was incorrect so i just gave up on that after trying every other one like 3 times.

[WinterClown]

Anyone tried the [Free] ones and can confirm that they actually work? :o
Thanks~~

[YenroY777]

I don't see any offers........ why is that z.z?

[kevinyou40]

Your trying to get something for nothing and that doesn't happen in the world anymore. These are scams no matter what someone says. the TOS is writen in legal language that no one understands because most of the people playing the game never went to law school. i can't believe a company would bring such deception into this game. This is truely wrong in so many ways. there are organization working on getting these kind of scam sites banned and shut down. I am very dissapointed in outsparks for this one.

Yeah, people should be careful when they put their real info. I did once accidentally when I was playing some other game and ended up getting these calls from companies. D: They wouldn't leave me alone, but luckily they don't call now.

And as for no free lunch, I agree. You get something "free," but you pay later on.

Yeah, not really a great choice especially when there are plenty of people complaining about CS prices and OS in general. Gives people more things to complain about x.x

[poolplayermaster]

wow truely sickening and i actually thaught about possibly trying this i've seen this on other thigns like myspace games to get those oh so wanted favor points and what not but didn't trust them and thaught maybe outspark would be a little diferent but i guess not. You have sunk below the low on this one OS.

[BrokenButterfly]

yeah, if you use that phone number regularly DO NOT use them for ANY of the offers there..

i know that no matter what they promise you, or no matter how much SC you will get for doing the offer, you will receive spam for eternity... unless of course you change your number.

but really, i doubt it's worth it..

plus, i have a slight suspicion they will subscribe you to some phone service and charge you more than just buying the SC.. although, that is grossly over priced.

just be careful giving out your real details to these surveys, etc.. in fact, i wouldn't give them your real details at all.

they're making money from selling the information you provide them..

really, think about it.. how much is your identity worth? a couple of hundred spark cash?

no.. don't do it.

[fireyair]

Wow, I just did the daily joke thing, I actually got 138 SparkCash.




Peace:cool:

[poolplayermaster]

thee are occasional ones that will work but very few

[aknrules]

all the ones i looked at are scams.
if u read the ones that ask for cell phone number it tell u that they charge u money every month...

[EchoSound]

They are TOTALLY scams! You have to buy something to even complete those offers in order to get the SC. ~_~;

[joecracker]

but if your intrested in some of that stuff anyways why not get the free sc

[EchoSound]

Because after signing up you're put on a list. I woke up today with 4 missed calls from some idiot trying to offer me something, and that's not including the 7 AM call I got before I went to bed. My phone NEVER rings.

[brave_dai]

i would like to hear OS staff reply on all these people...
i did try to click 1 link but i didn't continue because i didn't like the whole idea: pay money to get money!

[poolplayermaster]

I would also like to see what OS has to say for itself on this matter

[Stingerdan]

Some free offers work for me, over my time of doing them I've received over 4k sc.

[gibson82650]

really km outspark is really pushing my buttons now >.> 3 more strikes oyur out outspark and i buy LOTS of sc so yea choose your moves wisly in this chess game and get off yoru high horse >.>

[Galdrath]

thats why I always put my old cell numbers in. I feel sorry for whoever got my number but they have a ton of spam now. plus hotmail makes a great spam account.

13000 spark cash received for free and counting.

[Galdrath]

i love to auto and health insurance ones. lots of SC and not much effort

[zizzister]

They could be scams. I would not trust them
