Student Rate Sprint cell phone scam, Internet

This company advertises that if you purchase a new phone and contract throught their Amazon link and send in the order information, and where you go to school, you can be eligible for a 23% discount. I did this back in December, I called them, and emailed them 3 times about the discount before I concluded it was a scam.

I commented on the deal on their website about how it was fake and rated it an F 3 times. Each time my comments were deleted. They changed the add for a short time period to say the activation would be waived, but as of today the ad states a 15-23% discount.
