THIS IS CRAP!!!!

I dare anyone 2 try and access the Club right now!!!!!

I go and click Access 2 type in my password in the grey box that comes up, then another page comes up prompting me 2 fill in my email address 2 receive a free gift of Musicology, which I do, then another page comes up wanting my shipping address, which is crap cos its only designed for US addresses,so I do the best I can with that, then click Continue, then up comes another page wanting me 2 click options for free rewards or gifts from such firms as Blockbuster, a cookbook Club and some others!!!!! In the end I had enough so I xed out the pages, and then filled out my username and password, then my computer froze!!! lol lol lol lol lol

This is a load of shit and if Prince is resorting 2 such crass advertizing tactics as this then I am NEVER NEVER NEVER going into the Club again!!!!!shocked shocked shocked

The thing is all this started only from 2day!!!! sad sad sad

I think it's best to wait and see if anyone else got it. if they did, then I'm pissed for not getting it. if they didn't get, then I'm thinking someone might have bugged your computer biggrin

That has absolutely nothing to do with Prince or the NPGMusicClub!! You've been had by spyware, which I repeat had nothing to do with Prince or the NPGMusicClub! Try using AdAware or Spybot Search and Destroy. Yahoo even has a tool bar that installs a spyware remover try that. Do something, just stop being so quick to blame Prince for YOUR CRAP!!
