Link

http://216.154.235.31/asiapac/au_sn/Index_Guest.cfm

why is the link an IP address? I think this is fake. Can someone do a check on this?

well... according to the thread in OT... the original poster initiated a chat with iomega and said it was real. hopefully he wasn't BS'ing.

Even if it is fake, it didnt ask for enough info for me to feel compromised anyway. Its not like it got social sec, bank info, or credit info...

Hope this comes through. Thanks for the re-post.

 

[Madcat207]

Well, i just got an email from sales@iomega.com..

It didnt confrim a pen-drive, but it does say that i am now entered in a $2500 sweepstakes...

THANKS

My guess is they sort through all the freebie replies and only send out the pen drives to people with a legitimate business address. So my recommendation is to put a nice big company name in the reply. ;-)

What the heck. I'll give it a try.

according to the FW thread... ATOMICPC is a web design/marketing firm that is right down the street from iomega... where ever they are in cali. so... there seems to be hope.

Well, after talking to an Iomega guy, he was unable to find any info about any NAS or Mini-drive promotions..... However, he suggests i talk to people tommorow, to find out what i can....
