Thread: [SCAM] 672 Free Seedboxes by SeedNation

STAFF EDIT:



This is a scam. While Sharky with FileSharingFreak is not involved, he was tricked into issuing a press release. Do NOT sign up for this! ~Vegas

I have seen discussions on seednation other places on this forum, but i think this will mean a final conclusion for many users.

Here is a mass PM sent from staff in bitme.org:

A site, http://www.seednation.net/ has come up and they are offering something that is literally too good to be true. A free seedbox. Here is the bad news boys and girls, with such things, if it sounds too good to be true, it generally is.

So far, I have seen reports of stolen passkeys, stolen accounts, stolen invites and the like. I can't tell you what to do or don't do, however, if you find your passkey or the like is stolen you will receive zero sympathy from staff for this.

So what is the point of this mass PM. Simply this, you use this exceptionally dodgy site at your own risk, and if you have been found to have been compromised, after you have received this warning (25/10/2010 at 20:15 GMT) you will have lost your account here. There will be no exceptions, there will be no.. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't know." Use this site at your own peril, but be aware that if your passkey or otherwise is found to have been compromised your account WILL be disabled, and any other private trackers you are on will probably toss you as well.

You have been warned.

Not sure about this one, it seems highly newsworthy but there's already an existing thread in BitTorrent Discussion (although unnoticed):
seednation warning and BTM notification

This whole thing is just lame, and very annoying. I'd never recommend a "new" seedbox company anyway.
