During the signup process they ask you for your email address and login-password. There are no options on the screen to say "no thanks" unless you click out and manually log in. That seemed extremely shady to me, but could have innocent applications. I'm thinking this company might have their hooks in a lot of third party telemarketing, but time will tell. Seems like a decent program thus far though. A little too good to be true.

Are you saying they ask for your email login password, or for your email address and a login password for that site?  Cause if it's the latter, uhm...that's pretty common for most everything.

If you're referring to the sign up page, all I'm seeing is a section with first and last name, email address, and title, and then another section for user name/ID, password, and password verification.  Don't see anything asking for password for the email address.  Looks pretty standard for a signup page to me.

that's the first page... enter all that info and select sign in - and it asks you if you want to move over your contact list or refer a friend or something - asks for your password and user ID to your email box. There is no "no thanks" option. Not saying its a scam, but it definitely made me very uncomfortable.
