$600 OFF AIRFARE!!

Is this legit?
I received an email advertising "$600 OFF AIRFARE". I proceded to "websitebooking.com" where I was asked to register and send a check for $34.95.

First, no this is probably not legit... or if it is legit, you need to realize what $600 in cash discounts really means. They don't say it is a discount for $600 they say it is multiple discounts worth $600.

It could very well be discounts that are free for the taking through other means that they have simply compiled. My guess is, that many of the discounts are small $20 etc. but in combination worth $600.

Problem is (my guess), if you used all $600 worth of discounts you might be spending thousands and thousands of dollars. So the percentage saved would be VERY small.

The sending money part should have alerted you to a scam...you'd be better off joining Costco and using their discount travel service!
