Common sense would tell us that they would not continue something that  
did not turn a profit in some manner. But, as you say, few people  
would work much to get back the low fee. So it could well be a scam.  
Still, much of their site appears legit.

To know for sure that number has not been assigned, one would have to  
call it.

I once had the fantasy that when I became wealthy I would spend most  
of my time and money helping injured people by going after bad apple  
companies. Sort of a modern Robin Hood. Nice fantasy until I realized  
that I was unwilling to do those things necessary to become that  
wealthy.
