Million point giveaway a scam or wat?

lI AL3X Il · 05-12-2006

Well i jus went to the million point give away and i got to the sreen were it says "You give us a little info we give you a lotta points. If your email pans out and we have the goodies you'll get 'em. We'll send you a code to use on Xbox Live." and it also says to enter your First name, Last name, Email address, and it also gives you a picture and it says to enter the code from the picture here: now the thing is the picture isnt showing anything at all so i think that this whole million point give away thing is a big scam to get people to notice verizon a little more. If this isnt a scam plz inform me if you got the 500points. IDK if its my computer.

Sounds like a load of BS to me. MS doesn't use grammar like that when they do something.

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>

I seriously dont know why Verizon would do this if they know alot of people are going to try to get there 500 MSP's. They should have a shit load of bandwidth for enough people to be on the site at one time. Verizon sux in my opinion.(<<random, lol)

Also here is the link to the site, http://www.richerdeeperbroader.com/xbox/ if you get the points plz tell me so i dont think thisway about Verizon.

its working for me.

EDIT*** no its not, it quotes

Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

at the bottom it also says

There are roughly 653 coupons remaining.

Waste of time, probably a scam

Well it's not a scam, I can guarantee that much. They did this a few weeks ago with the same prize (500 M$ points). And Verizon is in conjunction with Microsoft for this. It's because of Verizon were getting a free week of XBL.
