Ebooks? $25 Playstation 2?

[chynkboi]

I was surfing on ebay sales the other day and came across this for $2 so i bought it to see what it was since it was only $2. Anyways, they seem to have this thing where you wait a long time to get some cheap stuff. Anybody have experience with this?
Here is the link:

I think I am going to try out the cheapest one which is $25 for a Playstation 2 or an Xbox to see if it really works before trying out the other things see that it may take a few months a $25 investment isn't that bad to lose.


Anyways, anyone have comments/experience?

They are called "Matrix"s. From what I have heard they are scams, but I would also be interested in knowing if they work.

I know the plural of Matrix is Matrices. I put it in the singular form for a reason. If you look up Matrices on google you will get math stuff, if you look of Matrix you will have a better chance of getting info on the post topic.

Okay I see what this is. Very interesting. Checking it out now. Doesn't seem like a loss of that much money, but these sorta things are always fishy in my book.

Another similar site: link

They seem to have links to a bunch of other sites as well. Guess there are tons of these sites out there.

STAY AWAY!!!
Recently I was about to buy into one of these, 2 days later the site was being shutdown for 'certain reasons'. They dont have to refund your money because the prize you are getting is just a prize, while what you are paying for is some crappy eBook. Avoid at all costs.

when something sounds too good to be true, it IS too good to be true. PERIOD.

I actualyl bought 2 of those books off ebay. the one was complete crap and was a matrix the other one got me test units of things. While they aren't name brand i paid shipping and say 10-15 bucks on each item to get it try it and keep it. But it takes alot of time and waiting and paper work. So if you are going todo it have liek 2 months free todo work adn stuff. Also having a buisness license helped alot.

They talk it up in the ads it's not all what it's cut out to be and IMHO is not work the 8 dollars i paid for either but sinc ei didn't know any better hey. it's all very simple todo stuff though.

I got a nice speaker system also non name brand came from japan 12 speaker set my cost was 10 dollars shipped. I got the surround sound box for an extra 15 from them. A nice setup but not worth the time.

I got a 15"lcd for 100 or so shipped it sorts sucks but it was cheaper then anything at the time unfortunatly also non named brand.

too get all of that I'm going to say it took me about 3 months of going back and forth with the companies before they actually sent it. So most likly it's not something you want to get into. You test it out for them and then tell them waht you think and then you can keep it since you paid to ship it. Some stuff they want back but thats the stuff you dont sign up for and all.

so it does work it's just not worth the hassle most of the time. those matrix scams though they are crap and do not work well they doooo just not in your lifetime

Was it the one that tells you to email a whole bunch of companies and ask for sample products? I heard that method used to work back in the days, but now it's totally useless.

f**king scams!!

 

[GLudlow]

Total scam, don't even bother. The worst ones make YOU recruit more people, which means if the FTC investigates, you could get in big trouble.

 

[frankqfrank]

48 people in the PS2 matrix currently (who haven't cycled)

meaning

If you get in now, 735 people have to get in before you get a PS2

Now this may seem feasible, but think of it this way.

Person # 733 for instance will have 687 people ahead of them, meaning that they need to wait fopr over 10,000 people to enter the matrix before they get a PS2. Are there really people stupid enough to get in at this point in time? You're hoping some very rich very dumb people show up.
