Wonderful website except for the hidden scam
I don't think that his was a good website. They try to get you to buy all of these great deals, like and iPod touch for 49.00 dollars, no shipping.
After reading terms and conditions, I found out that there are three advertisements that you must go throught to check out, and each buyer must purchase from one of them, and then persuade 5 friends to do the same.
I think that his would be a wonderful website except for the hidden scam. My review concludes with; "Don't buy anything from froonie unless you want to end up paying for something you don't even know about from an ad." It costs extra money, and the items in the ads are expensive.

froonie = phoney
froonie – rhymes with “phoney, ” ands equals SCAM!
People should be warned about the froonie website, which is fraudulent, purposely misleading, and dishonest. And Google should be asked to stop featuring, and thereby supporting it. They bait you with a super discount on a popular item, then say all you have to do is sign up for one of 5 offers, eg. book club, Gevalia coffee, auto insurance quote, etc. Once you have done that, and paid the $20 to $30 required by credit card, than they say, “now another requirement for your great deal”: you have to get 5 more people to sign up for one of the deals. Not just give 5 more e-mail addresses, but they have to commit to and pay by credit card for the offers. At this point, I knew I had been suckered, and left the web-site (but I’m still stuck with a book club offer I never would have signed up for otherwise.)
So, in order to save about $70 on the featured item, froonie insists that you and 5 other people have to spend a total of about $150 signing up for their “partner offers.”
AVOID froonie! Totally bogus! froonie = FRAUD!
