What's with all the information to buy stuff cheap auctions on ebay?

[Quackzilla]

You know, all tose information auctions that claim that you can get a system for 20-40 bucks with free shipping if you do something on your computer for 2-3 hours.

Does it work or is it a scam?
What kind of stuff do you have to do?

And why the hell would people give out stuff for only the manufacturing cost?

[grayghost81]

It is in fact a scam. They send you a document saying that you have to start your own business and then start asking bigger companies for "samples." Another variation of this scam simply points you to freevideogames.com

Send me $10 and I'll tell you how and why.

lol, I thought it was something like that ^_^

[WhipSmartBanky]

Yep, as long as there are buyers, there will be suppliers of this kind of thing.

however if u don't mind the ethics of it. It's a great way to make money without much startup costs. No I don't mean doing the scam, I meant selling the scam like everyone else. Haha

Also a good way to catch a really bad case of "wire fraud."

It's a modern variation on a long-time scam.
Back in college when I was naive and had extra spending money, my roommate and I actually sent in for one of those 'Make Money at Home! Learn How! 10.00' things in the newspaper. Sent in our ten bucks....what did we get? Two sheets of paper-one said 'Make Money at Home! Learn how! Only 10.00!' and a place for an address; and the other said 'Put your name and address on the other sheet, make lots of copies, and distribute them.'
I'm still not rich.

Browsing Ebay yesterday I saw a new one that had me on the floor laughing. This guy was selling information about the the next Xbox machine. Specs,estimated estimated release date etc. I wish I could meet the people who would buy that info becuase dam I could become rich very fast.

I found another "deal" in the eBay underworld:

This one looks like its real, but I can't tell for sure.

[edit] Its real, but its not what it seems. You have to get people to BUY ebooks, so actually you become a sales rep, and they pay you in video game systems. Seems like a lot of hard work, though, and probably not worth it.

I got one of those lists for a penny. Its a bunch of crap. Half of the links are dead. For some you need a TIN. The ones that do work sell nothing but crap. If you want a copy of them, drop me an email to mustangs675@hotmail.com
