They promise a $100 reward for participating in their survey.  At first I thought it was a drawing for the $100, but I participated anyway.  When I finished the survey they took me to a page to claim my reward.  The reward was to get up to 4 magazine subscriptions worth $25 each.  I chose 4 and continued.  Then it takes you to a page that asks for a credit card number and which charges you $2 for each subscription and it enrolls you in a program that automatically renews your subscriptions yearly by charging your credit card.  So the "reward" is really a scam to get you pay $8 for magazines that you really did not want and it enrolls you to get them for life.  I do not know what it would take to un-enroll from this program, but I can only imagine the worst practices - a la AOL and Vonage.


If anyone has info on how to report to the FTC, that would be great.
