I dont know what kind of computer or calculator you use to calculate that.....right now im in the POS: 56° and just joined yesterday afternoon.....thats a 21 persons per day......but let says only 5 join....

77 / 5 = 15.4 (16 days to reach POS 77) and i get my laptop

but in fact the real calculation according to the statics is this:

77/21 = 3.66 (3 days!!!!)

So lets wait 3 more days and i will tell you on what pos i will be by then, ok?

By the time you realize you are going to get nothing it will be to late to file a charge back with your credit card. They have a time limit to file for refunds.

What a scam!!!

This was in this section of the website:
===================================
http://yourfreelaptop.com/LaptopLadder.html#Cycle definition

For those of you keeping a close eye on the Ladder please realize that the member that did occupy these 11 spots simply had me change the name to that of his business. These are not new entries. Thank you.
==================================

Yeah right!!! Why should the person change the name and put the name of the business !!! So that actual people who have paid money do not get their laptop but some fake names are assumed to get it all the time?

People beware of such scams. Anybody believing that they would get a laptop for $29, need to stop being greedy or taken for a nice long ride. BTW this is not for $29, but for $29 + $29. )read this section of text from the website.
=============================
And last but not least, for those skeptics out there, you must know this. We have developed an ingenious plan to keep the Laptop Ladder going indefinitely. Many people have noted that even if everyone in the world joined there would be many unhappy folks at the bottom of the ladder without a laptop. That would be true except for this: When members receive their laptop they pay one more $29 member fee and are re-entered onto the Laptop Ladder! They'll be in line to receive another laptop and keep the Ladder going! I don't think anyone will mind getting another laptop to give away (be a hero!) or sell at a huge profit. Also, keep in mind you can sign up for unlimited laptops right now!
=====================

Do not be gullible, stay away from such scams.

I count well over 900 people on the list. You just joined yesterday. How do you figure to be at #56?

Each of those 900+ people have to wait for 77 people to join each. Do the math...

You are already too late. I dont want to see others get screwed.

well actually i can file the chargesback after 3 months of the purchase date, even more, cause i have test it with my bank, in fact last time i fill the chargesback was 4 months after the purchase date and no problem.

By the way jman01pa just count down from the top of the guys where it says:


New Cycle Starts for:
Wayne Theel (What's this?)

Thanks for the warning guys, i know how to take care of this, in fact the only way to get a proof they are scammers and to report them to Interpol and FBI is by getting some proof. Also my bro is a lawyer so there is no problem. Thanks anyway for all the warnings. I appreciate that

Wayne had to wait for 77 people to sign up.


And after Waybe Gets his laptop then comes

Eric baker (waits for 77 more people) then
Dominic Serva (waits for 77 more people) then
Luis Angel Adorno (waits for 77 more people) then
YueMee Wong (waits for 77 more people) then
900 more...

Each of the above people have to wait out 77 new members each at $29.00 x2. You are near the bottom of the list....
