Well, I was looking around on ebay at some computer parts becuase I think im going to build another computer for my brothers room. Anyway, I came across a link to where it had this website where the sopposivly sell electronics 5 - 10% off retail value. The site LOOKS legit, but im not sure if I should do it or not. The payment IS through paypal, so if I get screwed over, wouldnt I get my money back through paypal? Anyway, here is the link to the site.

Heres what totally doesnt make sense though, there diagram on how there system works.. look
(each # is represented as a person joining)
1
2
3
4
5 - Person 1 receives item
6
7
8
9
10 - Person 2 receives item
11
12
13
14
15 - Person 3 receives item
This process is sped up by a process we call auto-cycling. When we receive money from advertising or free items from our sponsors, we cycle people out. Based on the same matrix above, this can be seen by the following scenario
16
17 - Received free item - Person 4 receives item
18 - Received $ to equal matrix amount - Person 5 receives item
19
20 - Person 6 receives item

It is a scam. They have BBBOnline Editor's Choice 2004 Seal. BUT, they are not registered with BBB..... SCAM

The site design looks professional, but that's probably part of the scam to lure you in. The logic makes sense, but if you follow that matrix or whatever they call it, someone will eventually get screwed (the last 4 people to sign up and pay). It's an interesting concept imo, but I wouldn't take that kind of risk unless you can stand to lose the price they're charging.

Yah, definately a scam. All their seals are not clickable which is a bad sign.
