New way to play the lottoReply

Did anyone actually fall for it?
I just suspended the membership of someone who posted info about one of those syndicate lottery sites run by the pyramid scheme, VWD (Virtual World Direct). Check this out: minutes before the person I got rid of posted that message on the forums, their previous Lottery Post account was automatically suspended by the Lottery Post server when they tried to post a link. That person previously used that account to respond to a warning thread that I had posted a few weeks ago about VWD. The

slampen,I can't believe you continue to support this scheme (WGI). What about the fact that they are lying about being registered in Norway?But wait, there's more. My great anonymous tipster sent me some more in-depth materials about them.This time from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commissions, including charges against CEO, Greg Kennedy and WGI's parent company, World Play Services for pyramid selling. His trial ended June 9, 2004 and the proceedings were adjourned for judgement.

I am a member of WGI from UK and happy to admit it. I found this site when I was looking up a WGI matter.Some interesting points here! Slampen seems to know his stuff, and I would back up most of his points.The reason the site is blocked in the US is that WG is not ready to launch in US yet - watch out when it does!It is not open to members in Australia (and a couple of other countries) because of the laws (ie gambling monopoly) there.I would just add that WGI has been passed as legitimate by th

Im creating a free lottery!Reply
Sounds like the well known pyramid scheme which is illegal from start to the end. The concept is basically, each participant will pay once a membership and will be allowed to play for free and win small amounts if he introduces more people to that scheme (with diminished payouts every time). There is no way other than that for this idea to work. If what you say about COMPLETELY FREE play is true but those who play (but don't pay anything) can win money, the only way to do so is to have a machine

It Is very very Easy To Win!!Reply
Here's an article I found which talks about this secret scam. Can a leather briefcase containing 10 CDs, MP3 player (supposedly preloaded with 15 hours of instructions), 15 lessons (500+ pages) on starting the Internet Business, action planner, compact vision boards (whatever they are) and a $500 gift certificate be worth $1,995? Granted, $500 certificate maybe worth just that (depends where you can use it). Unfortunate part is that this so called gift certificate cannot be used at Macy

Boots,I do not believe that you are not somehow involved with WGI. Being the owner of this site, I have quite a bit of experience with first-time posters, and I have developed a nose for deceptive people.WGI is a pyramid scheme. The product is there merely to attempt to legitimize the activity. It would not exist except for the purpose of implementing the pyramid scheme.I am sure you think you know more than the governments of the world, but you do not.WGI's deep pockets (as you say) ar
