it's a gamble game. you pay 100 bucks, and you have 1/10 chance to get your product... I won't play

Not necessarily a gamble. Every time one person gets the hardware, it takes like ten more people until the next person will get it. If you are number 1000 in line, you'll be waiting until number 10,000 signs up for you to get your hardware. Then that 10,000th person will have to wait until the 1,000,000 person signs up (if i did the math right). So if you are at the top, the luck isn't to bad. Theoretically, you WILL eventually get to the top of the list, but you probably not in this lifetime. So not really a gamble because in theory, you are guaranteed to win, but in practice you have about a 100% chance of not winning.

Isn't that the defintion of a pyramid scheme? I agree - not long before the FBI shuts them down. Anyone here hear of 2by2? Same B.S.

I've reported the thread to the mods. This is MLM, a pyramid scheme or whatever you wanna call it. I'd hate to see some poor schmuck lose his money (and lots of states have fortunately made MLM's illegal)

You can send me your $100 and I may or may not send you a Clie NZ back later. It depends on how many others send me $100.:D

Hey, isn't it worth a gamble?

I'll just stick to my company's computer purchase program and get my 10% off knowing I definitely get my order.

Dear customers,

Well I'm sorry to announce that what some of you
thought would happen has happened. PayPal, being the
fascist company that they are, has locked our account.
They are claiming fraud on our part which is totally
not based on any proof what so ever. Who did we
defraud? We're still trying to figure that out. They
also claim that we don't provide a service or product,
which is a total bold-faced lie. Needless to say we
are disputing the claim against us even if we lose.
PayPal has no right to dictate what services or
products that a company can or cannot sell.

Now in terms of what you can do to get your money
back, just log into your PayPal account and claim a
refund or funds transfer reversal or whatever they
call it at PayPal. All the money is still there. We
did not see a penny of it, not even for the one XBox
that we sent out. Congratulations Cesar, you got an
XBox and can still get a refund you lucky dog. Unless
you want to send the XBox back to us. :)

As for us, well we are still looking for a payment
handler (merchant account). If you know of any that
still accept matrix companies please let us know.
Don't suggest PaySystems because they already told us
no. For now we are exploring the idea of accepting
money orders/cashiers checks but we don't know if it's
feasible. But believe me, we are not dead! We will be
back up and running somehow very soon. We'll send out
another mass email to announce our re-launch.

Once again, we are very sorry for all the trouble. If
you are angry please do us a favor and vent your anger
at PayPal, not us. THOSE FASCIST BASTARDS!!!!

Or to be reworded.... "HAH! We stole your money!!!!"
What'd P.T. Barnum say? "There's a sucker born every minute....."
Reminds me of the time I git invited to one of those MLM type "meetings". Being young & brash and having a reasonable grasp of economics, man, did I piss some people off when I pointed out it was a pyramid scheme!!!! Death was in their eyes (no-one signed up that night-hee,hee,hee!!!!).

I was just reading an article the other day about Google and a woman that was angry that her date had Googled her...



...until he told her that he had Googled a previous "girlfriend" only to discover "she" was previously a man!!!! Talk about traumatic!!

If there is only one line then nine people will end up screwed. Depending on the number of "lines" of payers, there would be nine times as many losers than winners.

Now did Paypal REALLY close them down? Or is this just a get rich quick and close down stratagem to avoid what was going to be an FBI investigation.

Even so, I am not sure that the FBI would get involved until there were a great number of losers. Will they actually investigate a handful of them - particularly if these nine are not all going to be interested in reporting the matter? I bet they won't.

"Unregistered" continues without an identity... and probably has a few hundred bucks to spare.

don't support this scam...yes, it's tempting to gamble to gain...but odds are 1/10 that you would get a product.  And the site makes 200 bucks everything time they can fill up 10 seats.  ultimately the true winner is the ones operating this illegal matrix scam.
