It was a lot of work, but I completed it successfully. The iPad is backordered and I talked to them today...they are sending me a check for $629. I did get a lot of spam e-mails, but I just unsubscribed to a lot of them and blocked the rest of them. I had to do 9 "sponsor offers" and it did cost me a little over $100 all together, but I'm getting $629 so I profited like $500. I don't mind deleting a few spam e-mails for $500.

I actually fell for this. I've never trusted anything like this in the past but saw IKEA and thought it was legit :( I'm now getting about 30 emails a day, and a few calls and texts. It's my own fault. I don't know what to do now to stop it. I feel soooo stupid. I actually fell for this.

Most have a 30 day free trial, and there are a number of free security packages that are ok if you're just doing normal web stuff.
