Free Gift from PlusNet:

I assume this is a scam?

It certainly looks and is phrased like a scam.

I just looked at "who called me" site, and auto directed to a PlusNet page saying that I am one of 100 people to be offered a free smart phone.

All I have to do is enter my credit card details to pay a few £ for DHL delivery.

See attached.

This also a Scam???

The main domain of the evil-doers ::

Just got off the phone with Natalie @ PlusNet... I told her the suspicious domain. She confirmed that PlusNet provide SIM cards, but they don't sell phones anyway.

Wonderful, so just to confirm something is a scam, people spread the potential scam links by re-posting them?
Must be some logic there somewhere?

I posted the analysis of the domain in Domain Tools... not the domain! Read posts more carefully!

I assume you're talking to me?

I do read posts carefully, but then why are you promoting something you suspect is a scam?
That is advertising something in itself?

Businesses will only 'give away' something if there is something in it for them, i.e. tie you into a contract.

Schoolboy Business Studies there, but I'd better say no more.
