Hey, i recently got an e-mail asking me to test a Nintendo DS and will be able to keep it afterwards. Does anyone know how this works and if it is legit and not some sort of scam. Thanks in advanced :D

I'd say go for it if you're not giving out any personal info

How would you get it without giving out personal info? Sooo fake. Why would they want you to test something that is already out and has been tested. Unless its from nintendo pass. You dont get anything for free in this world.

I would bet money that it's a freeiPods kind of deal where you're gonna have to get referrals and/or complete offers. But most likely legit if you manage to accomplish all of their requirements.

Actually, there is a link to this in the "Ads by Goooogle" section of the Forum menu.
Free Nintendo DS. For a brief second I thought it had a chance at being legit since the link came from CAG.

I'd go with fake, it sounds to good to be true so it probably is.

I get at least one of these a day. PS2's, DSes. The catch on the ones I get is you have to complete an offer (buy something) in order to join their "test panel". I also get "secret shopper" ones where they say they will give me $500 gift cards to Target if I complete their offers (buy stuff). Scams, all of them.

Sounds like a scam. I get about 5 million of these tester emails everyday.
