1. Sure sounds like a scam to me.

:hi:

[bluerum]

2. This reaks of scam. Unsophisticated at that. Stay away - far away.

3. It's a SCAM! Any time you get a guarantee of income, no matter

where from or what they claim the guaratee is, DELETE IT!!!! They're after something...your credit card number, your address and personal information...something! Remember, if ANYONE was able to guarantee a 10 times return on your money, they sure wouldn't be telling YOU about it!

5. Is it a Ponsi Scheme type thing?

[napi21]

16. I don't think you could call it a Ponzi scheme. More like outright theft!

I assume you got this via an email. Delete it and then delete it from your deleted files too! I'd even recomment that you block that sender, although people like that change t ID all the time, and when they find a working email address, then keep trying, so the blocking sender probably won't work very well.

4. Anyone that tells you there is "zero risk" is lying,

If he wants you to have zero risk, he gives it to you and hopes you will pay.

6. Sounds scammy to me.

A new scam, I guess. I only got eight Google hits when I searched: Here's our "Automatic 10 TIMES THE PRICE Guarantee"

[Blue-Jay]

7. Never trust anyone or anything that makes use of RANDOM CAPS!

The "ZERO RISK" factor is also indicative of a scam.

8. jeez... Walking down the STREET is risky...

"zero risk" my sweet Aunt Fanny. .

11. How many people will go for something like this

with the economy the way it is? It has something to do with downloading movie films. I have already deleted the post.

9. It's legit and I'm investing in it as soon as my money from Nigeria comes through

I've given them my bank account number and it'll probably be a few days before they can deposit the $21,300,000.00.

Once I get it I'm investing it all in your Multi-Media Download Business!

[rucky]

10. It just means they'll give you your money back if you don't like it.

and they're saying it in an exaggerated way that makes it look scammy.

12. Turnkey sites are rarely anything but scams

n/t

[seriousstan]

13. I have the definitive answer. Send me $50 and I will tell you. If you are not happy with my answer

email me within 48 business hours and I will email you your money back.

[karlrschneider]

14. They are not offering 10 times your money back...if that's what you are thinking.

-Could- be a scam but might be perfectly okay. Credit card purchases are generally safe.

[Bobbieo]

15. Okay blogslut - What is a turnkey site!!!

[Chovexani]

17. If you have to ask if it's a scam

Then it probably is. This sounds like an ID theft racket, where the goal is to collect credit card numbers and personal info, most likely for resale to other scammers. The holiday season is also the biggest time of year for ID theft scams.

I got intensive training on ID theft prevention back when I worked for a major credit card company. I always tell people to be very wary of offers that require you to pay up front, and THEN cancel. I can't tell you how many times I saw weird ass recurring charges on people's accounts that they had NO CLUE ended up there, and as I probed for info it turned out it was some "money back risk free" bullshit where they had to take the time to cancel the thing or else they'd end up enrolled in some "program" with outrageous monthly fees.

Stay far, far away from things like this.

20. Thank you responders to the question. I have a blog - Native Unity -

aimed at American Indians and have, in the past, posted those employment offered scams from overseas with the fraudulent checks. They sure are nasty but tempting to someone out of a job and broke! Just wondered if this ad falls in the same category. I tried to research turnkey merchandizing but have no idea what they are writing about - I'm not computer oriented or into website designs.

[Chovexani]

22. No problem

Thanks for having that blog, I'd like to check it out sometime (I'm part Creek and have cousins in OK on the rez).

Turnkey is an old scam, it's basically like a pyramid scheme. You pay for the equipment, etc. but you really don't make anything off it, it's the distributors who do. I remember years ago they used to have commercials all the time for ATM-based turnkey things, then it gradually went to phone card dispensers. Last I saw they were pushing Internet kiosks.

18. if 10 times is at no risk - why do they want your money?

[Redstone]

19. Do NOT touch this, even with a stick! Hey, how are you these days?

21. Hey Redstone - Getting older every minute but am keeping up

with the Native Unity site. Have been zeroing on the abandoned Western uranium mines and the cancer rates among the Navajo people. I bet you can believe the DOE and DOD are trying to reopen those mines without trying to clean them up. Greedy bastards!!!!!!

Have a post coming out next week - Wednesday - from a Lakota gal selling anti-Meth posters. I'll be working that angle!!

[Redstone]

23. This country could use a lot more people like you. I'll look for your post.
