    Wow - can't believe someone actually got so hooked by this they posted.

    Go ahead and try to log in. Go ahead - I'll wait.

    Can't can you? Well they'll be able to log into your vonage account now with that info won't they, dumbass?

    I got an e-mail about this a couple days ago, thought "neat" until I realized vonage would probably have "ipo.vonage.com" or "vonage.com/ipo" instead of a whole new domain. Sure enough you go to their site and no mention of it.

    Please send me $10,000 and I will send you the safe deposit box in Darfur where you can pick up my dethroned royal uncle's fortune. Also include your SS# and Mother's Maiden name for verification purposes.

      Well, legit or not, this bit kills it for me:

      Browser requirements:
        Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or later
        Windows Operating System (Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP).

      Not that I'd invest in an IPO for a company that's business model could evaporate at any moment. Been thinking of cancelling and switching entirely to my cellphone anyhow, since I don't have any real need for a faux-landline anymore.

      Getting voicemail spam about this doesn't help me feel better about them...

      It's not like this is 2000 and getting in on an IPO like this is going to make anyone an instant millionaire (apart from members of the Vonage board).
