I was looking at parts a minute ago on ebay and saw this:

Free P4 Free Athlon 64

It is information on how to get this stuff. His feedback has 2 people saying its a scam but then like 20 that says its good info. I think it is an ebook. It would be great to legaly get free parts and electronics like this guy is talking about. Any thoughts? Have you tried this?

Gotta be a con to be fair, you get nothing free these days..... Why would someone give something free?
 
nothing is free, there is always a catch...and those 20 are probably his other accounts or friends. and the 2 are probably telling the truth
 
Yeah i didnt think about him opening up other accounts to give himself feddback, thats pretty cheap. Yeah yov've got to be right about it being to good to be true.
 
I googled "free electronics and the first listing says something about an ebay scam. This says that this guy is selling urls to that laptop ladder or whatever it is, and to a merchant site where you are told to misrepresent yourself to get a free sample.

Also i found a site that just gives you these ebooks they said "they haven't seen a free xbox yet".
Free Ebooks

Yeah you guys were right.

Exactly. Once the auction is complete he'll direct you to some website, where you sign up (usually paying a small fee), and once another 20 people sign up, the first person gets something for free (or something like that).

He'll actually be benefiting by GIVING AWAY this info, as the more people sign up, the closer he gets to the top of the queue. So even if he gives your money back, he's still won.

Usually, if when you sign up you list him as your referrer, he'll be moved towards the top of the queue even faster.

Following the logic, if only one person gets the item once 20 have signed up, by the time everything is done, and the item is outdated (i.e. no more people signing up for that item), there'll still be 19/20 people who never got the item.

So in this case, 95% of people have wasted their money.

This is why this is a BIG SCAM.
