wow those bugger act fast don't they..

Found something interesting. My ISPs TOS specifically prohibits pyramid schemes:

21. Prohibited Uses of Optimum Online: The Subscriber shall not use the Optimum Online Service or the Services for illegal or inappropriate activities, including but not limited to:
(i) conducting a pyramid or other illegal soliciting scheme;

I wonder if whoever is hosting "yourfreelaptop.com" knows what they're doing?

[screen]

Wow!!! they are paying $2 per referral, i.e., they are taking $29 and giving $2 from that amount to someone else. Given that you risk a chance of getting a laptop in 10+ years, you can benefit by getting $140 for recruiting 70 people. Poor 70 people have to recruit 4900 people. Finally, the people at the bottom have to give up their $29 each. If several thousands join and recruit 70 each, then the company can live off the interest they get from the registration fee.

Now, I'm tempted to start a ladder my self and my name is YYY the great from nowhere with a website goodluckfolksgivemethemoney.com

I am impressed and happy for you that your got your money back but it still dont make me feel any different. I have no doubt this site scared them. Good for us...

I am curious about something. If we are wrong and the sites primary service reflects the following quoted statement, why do they call themselves "yourfreelaptop.com"?

we do offer excellent valuable services that our members
are enjoying like live online educational seminars presented by experts from many fields.

csa1234, continue to watch the site. Watch the person above and below where you were and see how long it takes them to reach the top. I doubt you will see it happen.

I hope you remain an active member here.

LOL

i love there reply, yes this is basically the same way amyway and quixstar work. waste of time and effort. your profit or whatever you get depends on the people you bring aboard and who they bring aboard and who they bring aboard and keep on.

Yes, no one loses there, while everybody else gets ripped off.

What a crock! This is a scam and these people will defraud thousands before they are shut down. In the meantime, they'll walk away with a tidy profit, probably get a slap on the wrist, move to another state and set up shop again.

[Detritus]

There is actually a big difference between this scam and Quixtar. With Quxtar you actually do sell product and you do run a legitimate business, can't say if it is overly profitable, but there are actual products sold. You don't just sign ppl up to get cash, you have to sell stuff to get the money and the ppl below you have to sell stuff to get money.

[csa1234]

well i think its all the same thing with different smell and color, but basically they all came from the same hole

[jman01pa]

CSA1234. What turned you around?
