No cards are easy to get approved for anymore. Consumer credit lines have now been cut by over $2.5 Trillion (last week's figures, thru end-July). Credit lines are being reduced or eliminated entirely. New credit is not being extended unless you have excellent credit.

If you can get a new credit card application approved, the amount of the credit limit will depend on your income and amount of credit currently available to you.

It seems to be a kind-of scraper-referral-builder-trojan-dumping spam.
Since this time, I haven’t had much like it. Perhaps someone’s trying a proof of concept which is why there’s not much on it?

The dodgy websites will usually be flagged as such anyway, as the increasing use of browsers with phishing lookups and auto-referers from various sources, logs them as they are found.

I just ran into this for the first time today. When I went to check out the pingback, my spam protection flagged it as dangerous. Obviously somebody knows the thing is less than reputable but surprisingly little besides your post came up when I searched on the issue.
