Default Re:Talk about a scam

we had a thread just like this a month or two ago, i bid on one of the guys auctions (for a 42" plasma t.v. for 275 shipped), the info was only two bucks so i wanted to do it and let every one know if it was legit cause he was also selling the edelbrock kits *info* for about 100 bucks, well, i got out bid at the last minute and never found out, but hey, like i said, if you can really get the kit for 400 bucks, it's worth 100 bucks to pay for the info. beside with a hmt kit, you have to wait a long time to get all the pieces together anyways, so waiting wouldn't be a big deal, hell, you could turn around and sell it for 2k+ easily

so if this guy could get them for $400, and sell them for $2000, why would he waste his time selling a website name?

can't be. it's a glorified pyramid scheme. think about it--it has to end somewhere. even if you make it to #1 on the matrix, and you get your turbo kit, the 9 people under you will be left without their $400 ... and then what? what if the scheme closes down the next day? people are gonna be pissed

There was a thread about this a long time ago. Its not a scam its called a matrix. You pay the $100 and they put your name on a waiting list. Once $3000 is made the turbo kit goes to the first person on the list. If your at the bottom of the list like most people are than you'll probably end up with nothing. These scams only work if your the person who created the matrix. nothing in this world is free, just remember that the next time you try to get a $3000 item for $100

you guys know you have to pay for the auction, then pay $400, and THEN wait for 9 other suckers to drop $400 ... before you get your turbo kit, right??
