I scored 9/10 – I missed the Earthlink, but if that’s a fraud, it’s a worthless one. I think they just don’t want to hand out any 100% scores.

Sadly enough, this is the only reference I have found to the obvious scam inherent in these commercials. Why do SciFi, USA, and the History Channel (and others, I’m sure) sell these people air time?

Guerra Communications, LLC is the party in question here. These people are nothing more than spammers, whom the government is at least beginning to look at, at least when they operate on the net. Their website address is slightly different depending on the station you’re watching, changes occasionally, and is indeed nothing more than a simple form which asks you to input some personal data that they put into their database and sell via their “real” business at Prospect Performance. There is no “immediate feedback”. There is no “matching you up”. There is simply a list containing the information you entered being offered up for sale to anyone willing to pay for it. If you have considered adding your data to their list “just to see”, be sure you visit Prospect Performance FIRST so you understand where your personal information is going.

Basically, they’ve taken spam out of the email (where they were probably being fined/filtered/ignored out of existence) to the cable channels. Hurray for marketing innovations.
