lol, why pay 10 bucks for a card when sweelee gives everyone who asks a 20% discount? O.O sounds wierd, imho.

unless, of course, its a compounded 20% or an additional one. lol. then heck, that 10bucks would be well spent

 

[Frummer]

yea man...hopefully its not a scam...coz those who are scammed...well i pity them

its all weird

 

[ixora05]

sounds weird to me. but it's only asking for email and username...how much damage can any scammer do with just your email and username?

 

[Frummer]

Well they can collect ur email addresses and sell them to advertisers, which in turn send u irritating emails hawking their wares.
