It's a Pyramid Scam ...
They work like this
After you and 99 other people put in £20 each (makes £2,000) they send the first person on the "List" their Laptop ...
This moron tells all the other mugs 'its real its real' and encourages lots of other mugs to put in their £20 ....
It only takes 100x100 = 10,000 mugs to send in their £20's before everyone in the first 100 get their Laptops ... (what's the betting all these first 100 are friends and fellow criminals of the rip-off merchants who thought up the scam ?)
For the 'second generation' 10,000 to get their Laptops it needs a MILLION 'third generation' mugs to sign up & put in £20 ....
Well before this time the "games up" because Pyramid Schemes are illegal in UK and Policeman Plod will have got to hear about it and willclose them down (of course they criminals are usually well gone be now).. so chances are, only a hundred or so laptops will ever have been sent out ...
