God DAMN I hate it when people post these pyramid schemes. Message boards aren't the place to post spam and hope for some poor sap to fall for it. Go bug your family.

The participation requirements make very interesting reading for a supposedly free offer.

edit: yeah its a pyramid stitch up type thing, I have no idea why the sentence above split over 2 lines like that!

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

OK, I'm reopening this thread, as I just realized that This Guy wasn't trying to get referrals, he's pointing out the fact that this particular pyramid scheme claims the Mac mini is for Mac or PC, which is kind of odd.

Sorry about that This Guy, I just woke up.

I didn't see 3. and did not consider 5. - but you are right. No room for arguing.

I knew this guy that had a brother that worked for this lady that had a husband that knew a guy in Texas that leased a house in Alabama to a guy that got a free iPod from one of those deals.

So it must be true.

Only one thing left to do then ... off to FL and moving in with Cowdy. She's got a good heart and will take you in for a while.

Is it true when Tiger comes out our IP address can be hidden completely? If that is true then whenever we see a scam like this we can get together to destroy their sites. Cool!
