there is a promo for a free KH trails uni at http://tinyurl.com/yc8slq
It's one of the links at the bottom of the unicyclist.com homepage.

Just a simple google search for toy-offer.com will flag a load of
people who are more than a little upset about this site. It's a
typical example of an old traditional pyramid selling scheme bought
right up to date.

Whenever the word *free *is mentioned, you really have to question if
it is a) really free or b) something that you need. It is very very
rare for anything to fall in to both of those categories.

It sais in the fine print that it is only available to residents of the
US. I have gotten to the last stage of it and it is basically an overly
complicated version of the ipod deals.

Here is some information that although I believe this is real and you
can get a free KH trials, scares me away from it.

you grant Company, and its Third Party Partners and other affiliates
and third parties, *the right to use such information for any and all

Gift “income.” Please visit www.irs.gov for more information.

that you provide to us to contact you about changes to our Program or
Site, the services, features or products that we or our third party
advertisers and marketers offer and/or other information that we
believe that you may find valuable.

So basically, unless you have a fully working fake identification, I
would stay away from it. If you really want a KH its not worth all the
agrivation this will cost you to get it.

After reading the passages you marked in bold, I thought this was a
phishing site (scam to collect sensitive information). Generally, it
is illegal to require someone to provide their SSN to identify
themselves. One exception to that rule that I know of is when one is
getting a credit report.

I checked with Netcraft and found the web site to be somewhat
legitimate... the domain has been registered to a US corporation for at
least 8 months. Most phishing sites are registered overseas and only
hold on to their domain name for a month or so before they're shut
down.

Everyone should be aware of the fact that your SSN is to be held in
high confidence. Okay, offer it to the bank. Maybe offer it to your
doctor, but only if they insist. Whenever you have the opportunity
(and you must ask most times), withhold this information... as you
should with your city of birth, mother's maiden name, etc. Now that
information theft is all too common, you must remain vigilant to avoid
becoming a victim.

Hi,

KHU has nothing to do with this promotion, and Unicycle.com is out of
stock of the KH20. Since UDC is the only wholesale source where this
site could obtain a KH20, I very much doubt they would follow through
on any claim of a "free" KH20.

I proved it was a scam just by entering fake codes into the ZIP Code
box... you could enter anything...

That doesn't garantee a fake website, I use fake contact info all the
time to check prices on shipping and the like from forein websites.
Most of the time all they care bout is that it is in the proper format
of the country selected but often not even that.
