I just found out I had been scammed just like the rest of you below. SO, I did some research. Turns out the company (Webloyalty.com, Inc.) that provides the 'rewards programs' (shoppersdiscountsandrewards.com, etc) has been recently engaged in litigation for consumer fraud. There is a pending settlement and if you were one of the many that have been scammed by this company you can fill out a simple form to participate in the settlement. Once the settlement has come to fruition, you will receive a check in the mail! Lets get this damn company for all they are worth!!!
