Hey all. I appologize for posting this here, but I can’t seem to get any info from apple. I was recently referred to a web site called happyipads.com. They say that they will let you beta test an iPad and than keep it for free if we give our main email account username and password. Stupidly, I gave it, and now i’m concernded. Does anyone know the legitimacy of this site? Thank you, and sorry! Alex

He changed his password and it didn’t seem to cause a problem.  Has anyone had this problem?

You can find out more about this in this Google forum post including a sample email that it creates.  Myth?  Right.
