Ok I am thinking about getting free microsoft points from a site such this. http://xbox360glitches.com/2009/05/learn-how-to-get-free-microsoft-points-for-xbox-360/ I am however skepitical of things like this and I going to ask this from people who have actually done this. Is it safe to in terms of computer safety (virus, bugs ect) and spyware stuff? Its cool if my email gets it spammed the hell of because i got a couple of them i dont use ever.

I refuse to go to that link but I can already tell you one thing. None of those sites, or things you download, ever work and only install viruses on your computer. Trust me, if it was that easy to get Microsoft points for free nobody would ever buy any.

Its a safe site, but its cool you don't have to take my word for it. I am very skeptical of those things myself but I really don't want to pay. Like I said if they are only going to spam a email account its cool I just won't go on those email accounts often.

Oh and its not a download. Its just a website that asks you to fill out some survey or something.

If it *seems* too good to be true, it probably is.

I don't trust any of those Sites that are free. It's just people thats trying to get your Account hacked, which is why they have to let you type your E-mail and Password, which not all sites do this (I think), but I never trust them. I'll just get them at a store.

The surveys on that site make you fill out personal information more than likely. I didn't test it as I am to lazy right now but I used to use survey sites for rewards and about 95% of them will ask for personal information, credit cards, account information on specific sits etc, or you will finish a survey and it won't be redeemed until you purchase some item or give some type of information for "authentification" (More commonly they want to steal your ****).

I never heard of Rewards1 so I'd have to say it's probably like the rest. Just buy them.

Man, what they do is...the survey needs you cell phone number. When you put it in, you get a text. When you reply to the text, you get billed about $2.00 every time you get a text after that.
