A few people have tried to post links for this service on AB. This is now being plugged on my local radio station. Anybody know any more details about how this is supposed to work. It sounds to good to be true so it has to be a scam. My money is on collecting information for a mass marketing company?

This has been landing in my inbox quite a lot in the last week. I did spend some time looking into it and the overall feel from other sites and IT chappies at work is 'Its a Scam!'

yes thats what I thought, but I wanted a bit more hard evidence than it feels like a scam.
This would really revolutionise the broadband market if it were true. Our sales teaams are raring to go with it. But! I have checked the London address of the company and it's a postbox address. I have checked the domain registration and it's registered to the London post box address. The 0870 number is answered by voicemail only. So far I haven't found anything that confirms it's a scam. Although a legitimate company would surely offer some form of human contact. Then again the phone would be ringing off the hook. Guess we'll all just have to live with it until we find out more. If it's true it'll be the next big money maker on the internet. It not then it'll be the biggest scam yet!
We think so too, or worse - possible fraud given the request for bank details (on a non-secure page, no less!). Please visit www.scam.com and follow the Juiceboosted Scam Alert thread. Page 97, posts 968-969 will be of particular interest. Please do not get involved with Juiceboosted as we list 22 cons against it and not one single pro in its favour, although we continually invite its supporters to provide such.
BEWARE.....Free-Juice.com is a SCAM This Juiceboosted deal is being called a massive planned terrorist attack according to terrorist expert, fArt Howe on scam.com. A massive trojan rubber will be released October 1st and will stretch far and wide. The whole internet along with all the worlds banks will be juiced to undermine President Bush re-election. This is serious threat given 80 million people will be duped into deep throating this trojan rubber that is claimed to provide blazing high speed internet connections for FREE? BEWARE........Free-Juice.com is a SCAM and paranoid behavior is running wild as October 1st nears. JOKE.......JOKE.......JOKE......JOKE
Re. the post above, the consenus of the www.scam.com Juiceboosted Scam Alert thread posters is that the likeliest motive is indeed data collection, or, at worst, possible fraud. Juiceboosted collect e-mail and physical addresses plus bank details, operate from a mailing address, have unmanned phones and refuse to answer any hard questions about funding or payouts in e-mails. Their product is not technologically viable, and we can find no evidence of their incorporation, although they claim to be a UK company. Further, they are in copyright infringement with a company whose Web site design they stole and who requested their host shut them down as a result. Please have nothing to do with them as we are convinced that you will only lose as a result. Many affiliates are wasting good money promoting them and we would like to see this stopped ASAP. To this end we have alerted various authorities and invite other concerned parties to do the same. Please visit: www.scam.com and follow the Juiceboosted Scam Alert thread, in particular page 97, posts 968-969, where we list 22 reasons against Juiceboosted, 0 in its favour, and give details of various authorities for people to contact to get them shut down.
