Re: laptop for $5???

Looks like SPAM galore if you sign up. That and I highly doubt they'll give you a laptop for $5.

Re: laptop for $5???

Sounds like you pay 5 bucks to receive email, then every time you receive an email, you click on this link so they deposit money or credits into an account. When you have enough credits, you can get the laptop. No mention of how many credits per email or how many credits you need to accumulate for the laptop.

Sounds like crap to me.

Re: laptop for $5???

You don't purchase and use the laptop up front. It looks like you sign up then read shitloads of spam and to prove you sit and read through their shitloads of spam, you click on a link to verify you've swallowed a big helping which will 'bank' in your account. Rinse and repeat this for at least 3 months or more and maybe you'll bank enough credits to get your laptop for $5. I didn't see the model of VAIO listed.

Calculate how much time you'd have to spend up front sitting through their stupid spam and compare that with a job with at least minimum wage for the same amount of time then look at the cost of the laptop minus your 5 bucks.

But yeah, maybe you and a couple of friends could work the system there. Set up an account to be used by all of you and tag team the effort. Though according to some guys on another forum, you'll conveniently be disqualified before you reach the credits you need.

I wonder if you like pop-ups, spyware, adware. As this is how they will pay for the machine. You will recieve so much Crap in your email, it will be rediculous.
They will send you 1, to go to.
Going to that 1, will give them info on you and your Net location to send you MORE.
For Each 1 the main company sends you and you follow threw on, you will get an average of 10 MORE emails, spam, and your NAME on every companys LIST.

You get 1 laptop.
They get 10 cents per pop-up/spam/ect...

You get SPAM
they get $100,000
EZ laptop scam
