I don't know what to make of this

[edit] is a scam - see subsequent posts - don't click on any links within this.


Original OP is:

Is it a scam?

Why would Beeb and Peston publicly promote a scam?

There's even a picture with the ITV logo on it.

Of course there is: it is masquerading as a story about an ITV news broadcast, what else would you expect.

Tommy,

I had not checked the URL, as I first encountered this as a news article on MSN site, as you cannot copy MSN content, I had elected to view in browser, in order to communicate the article.

Disgusting that MSN showing this scam as a news article.

Still, that's Microsoft for you.
