Topic: Graphic Stock giveaway?

I just got an email concerning a giveaway of stuff from something called Graphic Stock.

Following the link give nothing but a login screen asking for a username and password. There is NO method I can discover for actually creating such a thing on that site.

Is this legitimate?

Hi Tom,
I received the same email.  I clicked on the link and was able to enter my name and set up a password.  I started reading the terms and conditions and got out.  Randy

I got as far as the screen for credit card info and also bailed. It's a 7 day free trial. Of course, now they have my email address...

I found no method whatsoever to create a username/password. This is what I see on the page:

I think I'll pass on the offer. It seems to be nothing but a ploy to gather email addresses.

Purge it if you can. And mark it as spam in your email. It's a phishing ploy.

Hi all,

This was legitamite email. The sponsor bought this mailing. Sponsor emails like this help to pay for the upkeep and development of the site. I can't vouch for the service directly as I haven't used it but the email was not spam.

Well, if legitimate, then they show a funny way of showing it. Offering no way to create a username/password is a bad beginning, Sol.

The EMAIL may be legit, but I think the OFFER has lots of hooks in it.

EDIT: I didn't receive any email for responses to this thread either.
