A couple days ago I wrote a post about my experiences with a company called Cherrypal and a person who calls himself "Max Seybold". At that time I thought that I had been scammed, but there was a small chance that I had had the misfortune of dealing with an incompetent idiot.

The response I got to that post has changed my mind. I did not get a single comment that defended Cherrypal or "Max Seybold". In fact, if even half of the reports are true then Cherrypal is clearly a scam.

If you haven't read the discussion yet, you should. You can find it here (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69600). If you have a story to tell, please do.

Also, if you want the some corroborating information then you should read the following posts from Teleread:(be sure to read the comments)

The pages at Teleread were taken down. Without the information on those pages, eventually everyone would forget and Max Seybold would get away with the scam. I don't think so.
