You refer ten people or whatever then you click the button to get your "prize", but a small white modal window pops up with a loading bar which never loads. Where's my virus or my surveys I need to fill out or something? I'm pretty bored if you couldn't tell. The site in question offers "free steam wallet codes". No I don't expect this to work, I was just bored to death and curious to see what bad stuff they try to unload on you when you finish referring people.

Frankly I expected more from a scam site. Not even advertisements on there? For shame yo.

You're smart enough to use a VirtualBox yet you still fell for that?

If this is the one that was posted a day or two ago, watch the video on YouTube that shows "proof" of it working. After his spams the link, goes back and has a bunch of clicks, he goes to "download" the key. Pause it and look a the URL of the download link, it's mediafire servers. In other words, the download was a static link that would have given him the same code every time. You wouldn't use mediafire to distribute codes if it were in fact legitimate.

tl;dr - It's not real.

Yeah but there isn't even a fricking survey, that's why I am confused haha

edit: It's also possible that, should this have been a legitimate site, the creator made a file for every code they purchased and uploaded them all to Mediafire. I realize it's quite a stretch but I digress.

If you had the capability to monetize the site enough to profit and pay for the codes, you would be aware of a better distributions method or simply create one yourself.

If you don't mind doing surveys and PPC, I'll set up a legitimate sites for this, could use some extra cash. I felt surveys and PPC were dead, but I guess free money while sitting around is free money.

I want to see too. Like seriously, what could it be other than ad chains and referrals?

Hmm, so there is. I was about to say, this seems too simple. I have a good friend who runs a small disposable number website, I'll test this out.

I've read an article in a magazine about stuff like this, and the end result was was pretty much
"If it sounds to good to be true, then it's not true"
the editor of the magazine tried those gimmicks and referrals to collect enough points to get an xbox or something...
most of the sites was a scam and the very few that worked took so much effort and time that it was just easier to go get a job,
get paid and buy the damn thing yourself. sorry i don't have a reference but I read this a few years ago

You misunderstand my post - I don't expect to earn the wallet credit, I was merely looking for where on earth their money was funneling in from.
