Probably.
I tried, repeatedly, to get them to send me a copy of their "agreement" with an airline for the transfer of miles ... they never did!
Could it be ... If it sounds too good to be true it probably is!

Could be the long weekend -- nobody at home -- but I bet those "Platinum Members" who shelled out for membership must be feeling a little chagrinned

Glad I didn't pay for this one...

Milesbar is located in Canada, so I don't think delay in fixing a www problem would be holiday-related.

MilesBar is up now, with no obscene text. They must have been hacked.

Well, now I cannot even log-in. Plus weren't we supposed to be able to download the gold bar from May 28? Or receive some email on the 27th? Gimme a break... what a way to kick off.

Get our your virus scanners, people!

When I got that obscene message, I also gold told by my Virus software that the page was trying to download a WORM file onto my computer.

Have a scan of your PC (I assume it's an anti-Windoze virus thingy), and wipe away the virus if you've got it!
