    I keep getting spam mails saying that there are these easy spare-time jobs available.. with links like the following...

    http://www.partner-home.com/Our_vacancies.htm

    These jobs seem too simple for that amount of money and the site doesn't look professional at all.

    Is this just a scam to get peoples emails and home addresses?

    Yes lol, there is no privacy or terms of service. Definately a scam, don't bother.

    Also I went to the registration form and clicked "submit" without filling any fields in I got this:

    Thank you for submitting the form! You will be contacted by e-mail within 24 hours. Please also check your "Bulk" or "Spam" folder because sometimes mail gets into those folders!

    Therefore they don't care what you put in! scam.

    Yeah, those are junk emails. Just delete them right away, because there's no point reading them; you'll just be wasting your time.

    LOL.. The problem with scammers is ... They are in so much hurry to earn money that they dont even have patience with their websites. LOL

    If such site was made with some more patience, people can fall for it. :)

    It is important to realize that there are suckers that are born everday.........that is why scammers do it. They know that for every 10 people that delete their emails, there is going to be one person that is going to fall for it. The scammer doesn't care about the 90% of people who will delete their emails, they care about the 10% who will answer them.
