Below are the contents of an e-mail I've just received.
drickact.com appears to be legit, however, jessbright.drinkact.com looks like a rip-off?
drinkact.com, and drinkactweb.com are hosted by godaddy.com

Can someone confirm this is legit for me?
And if it is a no, can it be killed off?

However, following the payment page takes you to an HTTPS site, so I'm not so sure on this one.

It might be that someone has set up a dealer account and is not in the slightest bit interested in actually supplying you with the goods.

Looks like run of the mill spam, Inspector G.

MLM (Multilevel Marketing) Spam. drinkact.com is the main site, all other sites, like jessbright.drinkact.com, are those of the shills, i.e. distributors.
