im in one of these so called pyrimads(spelling). but mines just cash. you pay $100 to get in and $16 dollars a month until you get to the top of the pyramid. then 8 new comers on the bottom of the pryamid pay you $100ea. when they join. my friends brother made money off it and has him convinced. i think this thing on ebay runs the same concept

Hasn't anybody ever heard of pyramid schemes? Keyword:"SCHEMES". People get fucked in those situations. Money isn't free. Good luck to anybody who is dumb enough to try this.

Pyramid scams are stupid and illegal, and only the person running them and his "buddies" who signed up first actually make money. If you're interested go to www.imstupidandwanttogivemymoneyaway.com

I was cruizing on down egay, when i saw this auction...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...;category=33742

what it is, is someone selling the internet adress for a website where you can buy a "Edelbrock Performer X Turbo Kit" for only $400 with free shipping. the auction has ended but it sold for over 100 bucks, lol.

I emailed a winner of one of his previous auctions for the same thing and he says the website seems legit, he also gave me the website(for free, haha) http://www.matrixrevo.com/

The website explains it as a Straight line matrix

Quote
The program is based off a straight line matrix. The best way to explain this system is when 1 person signs up for a (E-BOOK) and CELL BOOSTER package , that person has to wait until a certain amount of people signed up for the same package. Then the first person on the list gets there FREE product.

how it works

It just seems like a big scam to me.
but it also looks like something I could take advantage of. haha.
Does anyone have any experience with something like this?

check it out found it on another forum
