I too have sent my £20 too one of these sites on the internet. I put my name down for the nokia 6600, as this was the best phone on there at the time. I will be interstedf to see if mine turns up, I need this list too fill up twice more before I get my phone, It would have been once more but somebody queue jumped me by refering somebody else (bugger). |

Sadly, I've not budged an inch!! 
I've recieved my signal booster now and the 'Ebook' CD! I've not had chance yet to look at the CD yet, but will do soon 
One other thing - I tried chickening out a few days ago! I sent an email to the site asking for a refund and to be taken off the list - and didn't hear a peep from them.
It appears that once they have your money, you won't get it back

I have signed up to about 15 to 20 different lists on different sites and got my SE T630 from one and an iPod and iPod mini from another so they do work it just depend on where you are. I can garentee you that you will not get your phone but if you are 12th in the list. I'm first on a K700 list, next on a P900 list, first on a tablet DVD list and second and 3rd on a few others. When your adding up remember to include the extra charges, such as the CD posting and pakacing for the items and the free gift, noy much but it all adds up.
P.S. Can you PM me the site your on just to see it, got a list of about 50+ so I'm just curious. |

@ Jim... probably when we're onto the K1700, got 4mp camera phones, and 4G phones are doing the rounds! 
Or, more likely, I'm going to check the site a couple of months down the line and it will have dissapeared...... having made thousands.

A little update.... not that there's much to update!
There's now been 4 more people who have joined the same list as me..... Only another 296 and I get my K700!
And the person who runs the site is on holiday.... I wonder how he managed to afford that?

hey,
maybe u can contact the guy who's in charge of this (the guy on holiday).call/mail and tell u'll give him something extra if u are pushed up the list.
it might work.
else tell him u are an undercover journalist looking to break a big story on scams like these. see if he relents.
lol
but, u are brave really! bravo! |

Perhaps a way to more sucess with theese schemes is to bid on one when the product is new. if you can get in there early you stand a very good chance!
I wouldn't do it tho.....
I'm too chicken!

Not much movement I'm afraid!! 4 people have joined after me in the 4 weeks since I joined. A few people have PM'd me for the website, saying they'd refer me, but no-one has done yet!
There's been no movement or people joining for a few days, as the site's organiser is on holiday at the moment. In a caravan somewhere in Eastbourne, I'm sure
