Ok I sign for the site and signed up as a affiliate to get money

I don`t think this a good idea but here is my affiliate ID code link www.juiceboosted.com/index.php?RequestId=2&Id=cb9iv
just go to the above site and enter it.



Will I did sent in my bank details but they only ask for you bank account,no credit card or debit card no.they just do a bank transfer.

Now excuse why I go pray that this not some sick prank.

Just be careful don`t do anything with the software when it`s out till we
know more.

PS.RPM if think this some kind of scam and should be deleted then do so.

I tell you what it is. A too good to be true offer. It is quite impossible to get a faster connection for stuff you normally get broadband for (ie. downloading stacks of stuff). Browsing will be a little quicker (in the same way the transparent proxy makes our browsing quicker).

If you ask me, its an address collection scheme for spam purposes. What kind of idiot will pay money for nothing. Why is it free? Why are there levels?

If they prove I can get 200MB an hour out of my 128kbps that would be a miracle. Ok, not 200MB of http websites, rather 200MB of let's say compressed stuff like avis and mp3s.

But, like Mweb, they will get away with the advertising. Incidentally MWEB has cut down on the accelerator ad. People probably started saying "hey, but im not getting 15KB/sec from my dialup. what gives?"
I can't believe the ASA didnt ban the advertising. Its false advertising with nothing to back it up and conning laymen in the process. Sounds quite familiar and I feel the end result in our case will be exactly the same.

this looks like one of those proxy compression server jobbies - thing is they probably record everything you do on the web - and it's no good for downloads.

It looks like a scam to me...

I won't believe them until I see some schematics for their supposed 23 patent compression process. If they own all those patents, why can't they tell us which patents they are, why can't they put any technical specifications at all on their site? Also, their claim that it works on "all platforms, including MAC" is suspicious to me, since Windows and Macintosh are not the only platforms. If it works on every platform, where are the binaries for every UNIX platform? Where is the source code which we can use to compile it on our platform?

Even with the most advanced block tracking compression techniques, it just isn't possible to compress any kind of data enough that the speed increase will be as great as they promise. If all you transferred was text or plain HTML pages without graphics, perhaps you could squash some data to 10% of its original size with bzip2 type block tracking compression, but the overhead from compressing and decompressing bzip2 in real time will probably slow your connection to a crawl.

It's either:

a) A massive scam to harvest millions of e-mail addresses and claiming afterward that the victims have "opted in" to their mailing list, then sending all of their "users" all kinds of spam you can imagine, or

b) A "legal" Trojan horse pop-up add scam, where everybody will download their "accelerator" application, for "free" and get millions of daily pop-up adds, advertising anything from sun screen to liquid filled dildos, at all hours of the day and night, or

c) A massive scam to get users to install a dialer application, which takes controle of your modem and dials a premium rate number int he U.K., during some dead hours of the night, from which they will make mountains of cash, and for which you will get the worst phone bill in human history.

Stay far away from this.

I guess the world is stupid,(stop pointing at me)I will be watching this juice site with watchful eyes.

Podo is there a way to find if these people are real or not.
Some site that checks sites like this for fraud and other stuff.

I wonder if the FBI or Interpol know about it.

2000kbps minimum speed &lt;--ha! you make Laugh.

really, what of ? - did I mention anything about shame ?

If you want to go for this, that's entirely up to you - I've got no beef with that - it's nothing to do with me. I was making a comment about humanity in general related to this topic.

I'm amazed because although we're supposed to be able to spot these scams a mile away, so often we don't want to - we wan't to believe in this easy money !
We wan't to believe so bad, we ignore the warning signs.

Do a bit more of a deep search about this company and check the opinions - it all leads to a totally obvious conclusion - scam.

You signed up with an email and your bank account number. That's enough data for them to get a LOT of information about you should they want to.

Take this example - if you have the balls to do it, you can walk into a bank with any old print out and an account number and with a bit of savvy, get the details of the account and the owner. Try it. I know this because I went to a bank and asked for the balance of my company account without them knowing who I was - I was totally legit, I had a right to see the balance - but they didn't question me or ask for any ID and they gave me printouts of the account details.

My extreme paranoid side says that this is a very clever scam that goes beyond mere email address harvesting - which is so easy anyway - and goes into the realm of getting bank account details as well. A list of this nature would be worth far far more than a list of a few million emails.

Just my 2cents

EDIT: Out of curiosity, I checked there CGI form and found that you can enter the biggest bunch of bogus information you want - all my country and currency details were different and not one thing was checked server side. frothycups@wigglemybum.com will be getting his affiliate number any day soon, his money will be paid into an account in Tonga, in Swiss Francs (naturally). He resides in Afganistan and the main topic of his site is Accessories -&gt; Handbags ! - damn, Frodo Baggins will be rich ! [;)]
