Anyone else beginning to wonder if this was just a marketing scam?

I've been signed up pretty much from the beginning and no progress seems to of been made, all I get is the occasional whining e-mail claiming that due to the current climate nothing has progressed but they have managed to get hold of some TomTom's that I can buy for slightly less than Halfords.

This mornings 'update' claims that I can save UP TO 30% on my energy bills by filling out a questionaire!

And I noticed the bloke running it all is called Ben SCAMmal.

I'd say that he's more of an idealist who has found that what he wanted to do is a lot harder than he thought it was going to be.

Got to admire his ambition but the constant cheapo special offers is starting to cheapen the whole thing and causes people to question his intentions.

Just beginning to wonder? I don't see there was ever any chance of it giving any benefit to the punters, only to the person running it.

I was dubious when it started, but signed up all the same - give someone the benefit of the doubt and all that, plus I think I might have been a touch drunk at the time.
But this weeks utility bill discount e-mail was laughable. Straight into the trash folder it went.

If you want to save 3% off your fuel, just get a Shell Mastercard.

Was as obvious as a Nigerian scam from the get-go! Total rubbish, with no credibility at all. I cannot believe anyone believed the hype or false promises over the whole pipeline thang!!!
