Honestly, I don't understand how people can say that all NX/Meso sites are bad and steal information, when nexon has been trying to get kids to fill out blatant scams for quite a while now. Yeah, NX/Meso sites aren't angelic little babies, and a good number of them try to swindle your crap, but you cannot honestly lump them all in the same boat for how they treat their buyers.
Those aren't scams. Even most of the sites you'd normally assume are scams (click here to win a free prize! *after completing a survey and filling out a ton of referrals) aren't scams most of the time. The problem is that most of the time people don't fill the forms out completely, or get frustrated with how long the process is and quit halfway. If you were to do one of them, and suffer/skip through the offers they want you to do and then when you get to the end do the ones that require a credit/bank card I don't doubt they'd send you whatever you won. Will you have spent $200 in the "free" trials in the process? Probably. Will you pick up any viruses or spyware during this process? Probably. Will at least one of the offers the site won't let you skip lead to another site which will have you going through the same process of filling out referral forms? Almost certainty. But people have done it before, and provably gotten their rewards from these sites. The sites make money from companies buying a slot in the process you have to take to get your reward, they have no problem with spending a couple hundred dollars here and there for the poor chumps who suffer through it.
As for the ones Nexon offers, you're provably wrong if you're saying they're all scams because lots of people (including me) have gotten NX from them.
