It's probably going too far to call them scam artists, but this is basically a dupe to get you to enter your credit card details, you then get billed for a 'membership fee' if you don't cancel within 72 hours. I haven't gotten as far as trying to sign up, as I wouldn't trust a company "registered in Panama" with such sensitive info.
I don't think FT should be displaying ads from companies like these.
I agree -- can you take a screen shot and post a link to the ad so it can be blocked?
FT can't pre-screen every ad, so sometimes stuff like this gets through.
