i think it is possible since google has sooo much content it needs to sort and someone has to do it. either way, if you have a debit card instead of credit card its easy enough to find out without getting screwed
ETA: i just sent it to DH to have a look and it is wellington in the states and probably only open to states only. he also looked at the fine print and the start up is $1 but then postage is a few dollars, then you pay $40 after that if you dont cancel and then $9.95 a month and blah blah blah. he is a software developer and actaully found it is fake. it says the artilce is from a publication ffrom the wellington herald but the URL is the daily herald and the site is registered on the 23rd of may and is only valid for a year which means it is not an ongoing company. so unfortunitly it is a complete sham. lol. nothing ever comes easy aye. here is the details http://www.sitebetter.com/blog/the-daily-herald-scam/ -------------

It also comes up with one of those stupid windows when you try to close asking if you really want to leave the page thats one of the things I look for when it feels dodgy ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

| Think its too good to be true - and I agree it is annoying trying to exit - that is just desperation on their behalf. |
