MYXBOXDEAL.COM - What kind of a scam is this?

[spacelord]

Is MyXBoxDeal dot com a total scam? has anyone done this, and what is required?
I hear it advertised on the radio quite often and know theres gotta be a big catch.

looks like this is a spam post too

No link to click on, too lazy to copy and paste and can't even do that because you spelled out dot com. Not too lazy to complain however.

 

[spacelord]

Not a spam post. Sorry. I was just really curious how much crap it involves.. and if anyone has actually done it.
If this is mistaken as spam please delete. I wrote it out because I didn't want it to become a clickable link for people to inadvertantly go to.

Basically, if it isn't a scam, (some are) you go through a bunch of promotional deals and after you complete a certain number (probably like 5 for a xbox), they'll send you your 'free' xbox.

The way it works is that the site gets $$ for referring people (like you) to sign up to free trials in a chance that the person might like it and keep paying for it.

Not worth it, IMO.

EDIT: OH and you have to refer a crapload of friends to do the offer as well so they make even more $$.

It's essentially a legal pyramid scheme.

Most of it, on top of what Kirby said, involves signing up for credit card offers as well. DEFINITELY not worth it.

So even if you click no on all the questions it still makes you order something to get the xbox. LOL

Just read a review of these deals a few minutes ago (sorry no link do a Google search). Basically after you've gone through the hoops, they say you have to refer 3-8 friends to go through all of the hoops too (depending on the site). This particular one has a clause stating they can cancel your offer at any time, and the only way you can resolve any issues with your account is to cancel it.

Yeah, don't start any of it, it takes forever, ends up costing you money, people won't sign up under you unless you pay them, and you have to sign up for a million different things and cancel them before it charges you, etc.

Big pain in the ass, not worth it at all.

Even if you were to go through it, it takes months in total.
