Jason, their name sounds familiar for some reason. Can't put my finger on it, but I'll probably remember later. Right now I have too much code in my head to think. :(

Remember, at a time like this, Google is your friend:

http://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=%22Prosper+Learning%22+scam


Not pretty!

I have too. They're a revisited scam (formerly PMG).

Google their name (including quotes). You'll see about half a dozen "blogs" (read: blogspam.)

That should be enough to scare you off right there.

My number one rule anyone who calls me is a Spammer.

My number two rule is beware who you give personal information to regardless of what the privacy policy says.

Sadly, this has become more and more true. I can't even answer my phone if I don't recognize the number anymore. I have to let it ring, let them leave a voice mail, and then use my VoIP to deal with the number from there.

I'm glad I don't have a Bull...er...Bell line any more. They were one of the worst for selling numbers, even AFTER paying the extra for an unlisted number.
