I keep seeing this banner ad here at SI at the top of my screen that says I will win $20 if I "punch the monkey".
So, after seeing this really annoying ad for days on end, I figured, what the hell, I will punch the monkey and get my twenty bucks.
Well, it turns out that if you punch the monkey, you don't get $20, you get nothing. I Emailed the "Money Tree" people who are running this scam, and here is their reply:
<<<<What you saw on the banner was $20* the asterisk (*) on
most sites, is a clickable link. When you click the asterisk
you see an explanation of what our Banana Bucks are. Also, when you first arrive at our site after clicking that banner you will see a page that explains the Banana Bucks. You are told twice that these are bonus dollars, before you ever enter our site or even see the game page. If you came into the site, then you'll note that $20 in Banana Bucks have been deposited into your player account.
Feel free to try your luck on our money tree. We've had close to a thousand cash winners already. Perhaps you'll be the next one. Thank you for playing TreeLoot ! Have fun and Good Luck !>>>
This looks like a clear-cut case of fraud to me. The ad says that if you punch the monkey, you get $20.
Looks to me like "Punch The Monkey" is a scam.
