Very urgent posting. Is this online offer a con?

[JonnyBoy12]

I have just seen this online video about how to get rich but think it may be a con. It tells us all how to get rich using the network of mobile phones but then at the end asks us for money. I would like to know what the other ABers think of this and if they have any experience of this. It tries to con you into paying them $49 by telling you the site will close very soon. Can any of you here shed any light on this site?

Thanks in advance for any speedy replies as this is quite urgent.

If they are asking for money, don't do it!

" It tries to con you into paying them $49"

Does this not answer your own question?

[grasscarp]

agree with tenrec. The only people who get rich are those that get you to give them money.

[snags]

Jonny... I think you should do it...

[grasscarp]

JonnyBoy. Just think about it. If there was an easy way to make money, why would they be telling anybody else about it. They would just be doing it for themselves. If they are saying to you, just give us x dollars, and this will close soon.... It will probably close soon as they will get stamped on as a con!

Never, ever pay any money upfront - especially to a website about to close down.....

looks too good to be true!............sure it is!...........I'd give it a miss!........

Starting watching it - it goes on and on and on and on and on.
What's the bottom line for $49, then?
Presumably yet another pyramid scheme?

Pyramid or general scam - I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

Without even looking at the rest of the question or the answers, I can't believe you actually asked if it was a con after writing the bit we could see!

[rsvp]

scam, scam scam - a fool and his money are soon parted!!!!

[grasscarp]

I dont know why you say this is urgent Jonny. If it was real they would not a. be telling you at all, and b. be closing it down. They are trying to entice desperate people to send them 49 dollars. dont get sucked in.

send me £100.00 jonnyboy and ill give you the phone number of a company that will pay you £500.00 per week for an 4 hour day with a 3 hour tea break..

[tenrec]

What's your address Stoke and I'll mail you the money!!

[stokemaveric]

[boxtops]

anything that asks you to pay money upfront is dodgy, JB - don't touch it with a bargepole.

[JonnyBoy12]

Thanks for your speedy replies, folks. You have confirmed my very worst fears that it is a con. Is there any central agency that I can report this to, or ask if it is a bona fide site?

Thanks once again for your answers. You have been a great help to me.

I doubt reporting it will make any difference.
I'm not sure what you mean by "ask if it is a bona-fide site"
