Ok, you all know the old saying if its too good to be true it is. Well...my curiosity got the better of me, I am sure many of you that go on ebay have seen these auctions to get a Savage for $80 I had to spend the dollar to find out what the deal was. Well what it is is a big pyrimid scam. You join their club for $80, and you get a t-shirt and a cd and they put your name on a list to get a "free gift". For every ten people that join and sends them $80 they give away 1 Savage to the next person on the list. You do the math, they get $800 and then give away a $400 Savage, thats a profit of $400 on each Savage. When I last checked there were 150 people on the list. If you ever were to see a Savage you would be too damn old to use it! If you were # 151 on the list you would have to wait for 1,500 more dumbasses to send them $80, thats another $120,000 dollars for them, while you are left sitting around waiting for a Savage you most likely will never see. I just wanted to let my friends here at RCNT in on this info, so that no one else wastes a dollar or more, some guys are selling this info for $10 8-0 So the old addage still holds true, if it sounds too good to be true it is!
 
Hey buddy I can get you a hell of deal on the broklyn bridge...X Hotels.COM....X
 
Hook, Line, and Sinker.

Sorry to hear you blow that $80. I was really curious about that also. Think of it this way. You invested the money to warn all of us about the scam. I say its an $80 well spent. You took one for the team.

Thanks for the heads up!

Alright wiseass :D Curiosity got the best of me, but I have spent a buck on a candy bar or soda so it was worth it to me just to know what the deal was. I can't believe eBay lets this go on.

Anyway back to that bridge...how much? Man I could set up a toll booth and rake in the cash. :naughty: But where's Broklyn

WOOOOOHHHHH wait a minute, I only spent the dollar for the auction for the info, not the $80 :ahh:
 
If you look around on Ebay someone has posted a bogus aution just to give people the link for free. Here
 
Thats Great!!! I am glad to see someone do that. Like I said before I can't beleive that eBay allows this to go on. I wanted to let everyone I know know about this, I only got stuck for a dollar, but I had to know what this was about. I am sure the guy who posted that auction probably got stuck for more. Thanks for posting that link, a day late though, lol. :D
 
Thaths cool that they put that auction up its good to see people looking out for each other
 
People that sell that poop should have their nuts removed thorugh their pee hole... X
 
Yeh I sent an Email to the guy to let him I thought that was cool of him, and he probably saved a few people a few dollars!

LMAO, damn that sounds painful 8-0 .....Hey X, what about my bridge. I've been building a toll booth all day.
 
dude havn't you seen that anoying ass comercial where that dude is complaining about the price he paid for his hotel in the back of the taxi and the driver says "Hey buddy I can get you a great deal on the broklyn bridge. I hate that freeking comercial and the fat ass taht says that line. X
 
Thats BROOKLYN buddy...
Hey.... How you doin...lol
As for the bridge, I think I could work somethin out for ya...
BADA-BING.....:smoke:
 
Those are partly scams, you can call it a scam in most case... But there was a guy posting that stuff at rc-x, and it was free! However I close all the topic he post, because it was unnecessary and false...
