Free Snuggie Promo

From Something Awful:

No way this comes. Their WhoIS info is hidden, which is the #1 sign of a spam site when it comes to freebies.

The signup page is an iframe which is pulling from a second domain, SuzzlyPromo.com. Not only is their Whois info private as well, but it was registered on Oct. 19, 2009. If hidden Whois info is the #1 sign of freebie spam, a site registered a week ago is #2. And then check out the footer links on the confirmation page. They all go to a third domain, Spooluff.com. That domain doesn't even have a main site and two of the links are dead. The owner of Spooluff isn't a company, but some some random guy whose e-mail is at gaweb.com, which is a spamish directory.

Furthermore, if you call the number from their site / confirmation e-mail, you'll get a recorded message and then can hit # for more options. This is followed by "to enter your K7 security code press 4" which means they're using K7.net, a free voicemail and fax system. I can't think of any legit business that uses a free telephone service for business calls.

All of that was a long way of saying I doubt this is legit and not to hold your breath or count on using it as a Christmas gift. But heck, at the very least, if you sign up for this, use a throw-away e-mail and Google Voice account.
 
Well, that sucks.. We already have a thread about this somewhere too, I think.. And someone mentioned this being on SlickDeals. I can see a lot of people being SPammed now. Wish I didn't use my real email.
