What do you know about FatWallet.com?

[cynjam]

The Target digital picture thread gave a link to FatWallet.com for the coupon. There's also a thread on that site for a free CarFax report. That would be nice, but I'm not sure if it's on the up and up. What else could they do with your VIN #? Is it a full report? Do you think they'll use your e-mail address for something else? I trust you guys, but I don't know about FatWallet.com. Any thoughts?

Fatwallet.com is basically a forum where people share deals. As with anything on the Internet, you have to use your own common sense and decide what deals are worth it to you and what aren't. If something makes me feel uncomfortable, I just don't do it. From my own perspective, alot of times there are ethically questionable deals posted there, but most things are legitimate.

FW is very similiar to other shopping boards.

I've seen some ethically questionable on there (they usually revolve around electronics/digital cameras), but there are some really good deals as well.

You would see the same thing on all the other shopping boards I frequent like MC, or YDF.
