i was on mycokerewards.com and it said "Congratulations!! You have won todays
contest in Walpole!!" I clicked on it and it took me to a site http://www.chooseyourcolor.com/index.confirm.php?lid=::cpx_cyc and nothing bad happened it all seems pretty legit on the site it says 100 percent safe and secure, as well as privacy verified and shows pictures of other winners with their computers. I am wondering if i should trust the site or not? I don’t want to give out personal info and be wrong. if you have a mycokerewards account would you tell me if it says that for you at the top? Thanks So MUCH!!! Nothing in life is free right?
it also said this at the bottom and has sponsors like Discover Card, Columbia house, Credit report.com, video professor, and netflix.

I think their Requirement 4, "Eligible members can receive the incentive gift package by completing two reward offers from each of the Top, Prime and Premium reward offer page options. Various types of reward offers are available. Completion of reward offers most often requires a purchase or filing a credit application and being accepted for a financial product such as a credit card or consumer loan. " says it all.
The prize isn’t 100% free, and you could wind up spending more than the "free prize" is worth. There’s even the chance you’ll not complete one of the requirements and lose altogether, just because they say so. In particular, note that "filing a credit application and being accepted" clause. Who decides if you’re accepted or not, and on what basis?
When a giver puts pre-conditions on their "gifts," I go elsewhere.
Hope that helps.

Nothing’s ever free in this world. Odds are it will ask you to complete "3 offers to proceed" or something like that, then sell your email address to lots of spamming companies.

As everyone else has said, its a scam, my friend. Even if the prize exists (not very likely) then you would have to go through a lot of rigmarole just to get it, and no doubt end up paying (as others have said) more than the prize is worth. Nothing Apple makes is cheap (for the consumer anyway) and the company offering the prize would have to recoup their losses somehow.
Sorry to be a pessimist, and I hope I answered your question.
