Fit Wireless Scam?

Has anybody noticed the ads for Fit Wireless on this website? Apparently they claim to run on Sprint's network use smart phones priced cheaply and monthly service cheap. I've never heard of the company and they are not on WOT's website data base. Also when you click on the link it starts an audio clip on how it "Works". Apparently you have to do a survey before you sign up and do them now and again cause thats how it "works". The online shopping and website just looks cheap and slapped together fast. To me it looks like a total scam to steal people's money and credit card information. Plus I'd say likely get peoples emails and just spam them like crazy as well.

What do you all think?

 

There is a number of things that point to it being a scam. One is as I said its not listed on WOT's database not a red, not a green just nothing. I've never seen a legit company NOT be on WOT's database. Two the company came out of nowhere and I also can't find any user reviews on the company or any information about them in some searches I've done. Also the iPhone on such a service? I can't picture Apple agreeing to that. They also refer to insurance as TEP and that's a Sprint only term, resellers do not refer to insurance as Sprint TEP. I also noticed the website does not take prepaid debit cards as well, which is unusual as well as there is not much reason to not take those assuming they have a name and address tied to them such as the Walmart Money card and other services. To me all of this adds up to this being a total scam, a clever one that many may would not notice but I think its a company trying to scam people out of money and information. I'll do some more digging though on this matter.

 

Yes and its an awesome tool, everybody should have it installed on their web browser! I've found it to be very accurate and its kept me away from quite a few "red" websites.
