mypadmedia-scam?

Something seems off about this site...

mypadmedia.com

They claim for 49.99 you get unlimited access to all sorts of books and comics. There's something super fishy about it. Anyone heard of it?

Sounds very shady... I would stay away from there.

well, considering they don't have an application in iTunes, i'd think something funny is going on here. reminds me of that russian site that used to sell mp3 files of popular songs for 5 cents a few years back that got sued and shut down. same racket, just a bit more expensive.

Here is the fine print

myPadMedia.com is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by Apple or the iPad team.
myPadMedia.com does not provide a direct database for downloading. myPadMedia.com provides members with the necessary software, tutorials & unlimited technical support for their downloading needs.

All that they do is give you a link to something. Probably iTunes and an iTunes instruction guide,

This is a 100% SCAM !!!

probably a bittorrent client and some torrent sites..

Yup, I went back and read the fine print...it screams "front for a torrent and a waste of your money".

I wrote it up here

Pretty slimey that they've been spamming twitter with this shit.
