No...never from anything here...The (il)legality of it is one part of the debacle, yes, but just one part. I'm not here to argue whether it's legal or illegal, as I don't know enough about it to say whether it is or isn't... but I do know shady when I see it, and given GlacerNine's report in #106, that site looks about as shady as a cave on the night of the full moon.
Also, I'm not sure exactly what happened to @jmcslob there, but if he was hit like that as a result of using sites that have been promoted here at TPU, well, that's just repugnant.
There should definitely be a better vetting system in place for these sites we're advertising. GlacerNine has one again stepped up and did it with the latest ad. Why can't the ones posting these ads do that? You can't just post garbage and then later say "oh, sorry you got scammed, we'll remove that ad" and then post more garbage.
I got hit at Wendy's, Target, Walgreen's and 3btech as well as through Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and a retirement account with the Teamsters
EDIT:
Can't prove the 3btech but the licenses were bought from the same zip code the day after a purchase.
