    well yeah it's kinda a pyramid scheme, except no one is making more money than everyone else, it's equal.
    as long as everyone sends the 50ps and puts the information with thier address on it on enough forums then everything will work out great!



    the addresses on it already are the people who have done the sending 50p thing already before me - and my address is on it too. when you send the 50ps to them addresses and put yours on - as soon as you post it to enough threads, you'll get 50ps too

    The site is a lying scheme

    IT says what its doing is all legal

    "If you have any worries, refer to 'Title18 Sec. 1302& 1341' of the Postal lottery laws. It is fantastically - completely legal!
    Well, google that title

    That's why pyramids and chain letters deceive consumers and are illegal under state and federal laws. Economists have estimated that about 95% of pyramid participants lose their money.

    "Don't be fooled by claims that the U.S. Postal Service has reviewed or given approval for these schemes," warns Larry Maxwell, Manager of the Fraud, Prohibited Mailings and Asset Forfeiture Group of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. "Many letters provide the correct legal citation, Title 18, Section 1302, which negates rather than supports the legality of the scheme."

    Errm it says you only change the number 6 spot yeah.. so surely all of the people who've done this are sending money to the top 5, so they're raking it in while everyone else gets nothing back. Also if their addresses are on the list, surely they've already done it so won't send anything? Therefore sending them money not only makes them richer by the program's own (likely intended) faults, but also means that you're almost certainly not going to get anything back.

    you have to move everyone else up 1 spot so that everyone gets 5 chances of getting the money.

    Pyramid schemes are illegal in the United Kingdom and these types of schemes are quite common and rarely make anybody any money.
