The true question is if halfmania, goes beyond the scam and uses the information you provide to keep riping you off. SO you lost $$$ but are you going to lose more in the future? I tried for an Ipod, did not pay but is no longer in their webpage. They have your SS# from the credit card offer, and your current credit card. Some how I looked to see if it was a scam and only people with the nintendo wii, which halfmania clear states that they don't have on. So if it is a scam please post it all over the web so google can find it within 20 webpages. www.halfmania.com, www.halfmania.com, www.halfmania.com Since I figured yes "it does cost more to complete the offers" which means nothing does the offers cost more or do they rip you off? I am going with the dont complete the bargain and they may steal you idendity - D

Based on what I've read on the web, my experience seems to be typical: I signed up for the required offers to get a half-off Wii, and fulfilled all the requirements (used the credit card I ordered, received movies from my new Blockbuster account, and received copies of Entertainment Weekly). The Blockbuster offer was an "instantly verified" offer, but the other two were not, and as far as Halfmania is concerned the other two offers were not completed. The ONLY method they provide for contact is an email contact form, which they say they will respond to within three days, but they never responded to my 10+ emails at all. The offer expires 90 days after you sign up. That was 87 days ago for me, and I long since bought a Wii at regular price. My brother had the same experience, as have others who I've found on the web. Some people who don't know any better speculate that Halfmania can afford to do what they do because advertisers give them so much money that they can pay for half the product themselves. I think they can afford it because they don't bother sending the product. I signed up for this thing, and the only thing that happened is that I LOST money on things I DIDN'T want and never got what I DID want. Their terms and conditions pretty much relieve them of responsibility for holding up their end of the deal in any situation, but if they can say that your offers were never verified, they're even more free and clear. Relevant portion of terms and conditions below (the original has no bolding): (b) Failure to be credited for an Offer (i) HalfMania does not guarantee that a User will receive credit for an offer. We reserve the right to refuse crediting a User for an offer completion for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, unsuccessfully completing an offer within 90 days of receiving initial offer credit, lack of appropriate information, improper sign-up method, improper browser settings, failure to meet advertiser/offer requirements and/or a history of manual credits issued. Manual credits are offers that are credited through emailing confirmation of completion. (ii) We are not responsible for delays in reporting offer completion or failure to receive offer credit. (smooth loophole) The time it takes to receive credit varies greatly. (iii) The User is responsible for saving all of the confirmation emails they receive associated with offer completion. We will not manually credit a User for an offer without receiving a confirmation email from the User. A confirmation email is an email that a User receives from an offer provider after their offer requirements have been fully satisfied. However, presenting a confirmation email does not guarantee that a User will receive credit. (iv) If a User believes that they have fully completed an offer and yet, has not been credited, the User should once again make sure that they have in fact met all of the requirements stipulated by the offer provider and should verify that he or she has waited the appropriate amount of time for offer completion to be reported back to this website (this amount of time varies per offer). If the User confirms that they have performed all of the necessary actions, and have waited a sufficiently appropriate period of time, he or she should contact us via our customer service form on our website (to which they never reply!). The User should [b]note, however, that HalfMania reserves the right to deny credit for an offer. [/b] - Eric
