Anyone heard of JUICE web access
The words "free", "lunch" and "no such thing as" spring to mind when visiting http://www.juiceboosted.com/!!
They promise a 2MB+ connection, from any PC or Mac with a modem faster than 9,600kbps, with no extra hardware (just software) and for FREE??
Plus:
So - what's that catch?

Plus:
- "You will never see another dead, blank or irrelevant page ever again" - or they will give you GBP500!
- "You will NOT get another spam email EVER" - or they will give you GBP100!
- "You are guaranteed to get a minimum connection speed of 2MB with 100% uptime" - or they will give you GBP500!
- YOU will NEVER receive a virus or worm in your email inbox" - or they will give you GBP500!
So - what's that catch?

I don't get it. First of all what you posted before is impossible to guarantee.
Secondly the links on the site don't work, so I can't see how they are going to back up their claims

Legacy4x4Turbo and angrynorth,
apologies for the missing referral ID - the original link i was given had one hidden in the e-mail URL, so try this which is the original pointer.
Jason,
many thanks for the scam link - time for a bit of a read!
Cheers,

does the phrase
"Would you like to earn over £10, 000 GBP a month without selling, stock, investment or having to answer the phone or write letters ever again?"
and
"Your success is almost guaranteed."
say it all? I know what it says to me.... (and it starts with a fool and his money...)
and I cant get the contact page to work either. strange....?
but looking it up in whois gives an address in Old Gloucester Street, London, but the postcode appears to be for a PO box. may have got that wrong though..... spose I could always ring the 0870 number...

As with most things in life - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.....
Approach with caution would be my advice.

..must admit, spam.com has quite a few interesting points, including that fact that a PC with a 9600baud (supported) modem would probably be running a slow 486 chip, a few megs of RAM and a few tens of meg of hard-drive. It would be rather hard for such a device to receive 2Mb/sec as raw data at the hardware level - never mind via some fancy "23 patent" compression software.
I guess we will know the truth in a couple of months!!
