Screwy? Yes. Legitimate? It's a matter of opinion.

If this is truly a contract trading program, you know damn well that
VZW and all other carriers will hold the *original* contract holder to
the terms contained therein, so participating in such a program would
require an inordinate amount of trust in strangers to comply with and
fulfill the terms of *your* contract. If they fail to do so, the
carrier will look to you for the balance of the contract term.

So the real question is how much trust is a sane person willing to put
into a spammer's hands? And this one spams a site that isn't even up
and running yet. A quick Google search found no such programs in
existence on the web, so it may be just this spammer's pipe dream
project that will never get off the ground.
