ReportThem Unregistered guest | yes, but do the mathematics on it, the vast majority of these people will NEVER see a sub and will NEVER cycle. Furthermore, read the ebay terms link i posted. These ebay listings are in CLEAR violation of their terms, not to mention unethical and HIGHLY legally questionable. |

ReportThem Unregistered guest | i quote from the article in the above link ^^^ "Kohm noted that simple math shows these schemes cannot work. As the scheme grows, the number of new members needed to support it grows exponentially. The number of people needed to sustain the scheme would exceed the world population after about a dozen iterations. In practice, the schemes collapse much sooner than that, although early members sometimes get what's promised, Kohm said." "James Kohm, an attorney with the Federal Trade Commission, which polices consumer scams, said he hadn't heard of matrix schemes, but if they worked as described, they are outlawed." Report these scum bags to ebay please, do not bid on these auctions, and if you are adventurous, email the sellers letting them know their little party is going to end VIOLENTLY soon. Thank you. p.s. These auctions OFFEND me greatly. These people are STEALING your money and A LOT of money at that! DONT YOU SEE IT OR ARE YOU ALL THAT NAIVE???? |
