Many Sites are Scams but 1 worked for me:
http://www.what-is-the-ematrix.com/ - It may take long to receive items but they will sometime arrive.  They have other cool items as well.

this is called pyramid scam. Like perimid design one person started at one point then asked other to invest and wait for their turn.The investment amount depends on the item you wish to get. The more people you can make to invest after you, better chance of winning. But in most case first person who started the chain took off all investment and leave all suckers waiting. forget it.  wink.gif

they comes in so many different ways...
type 1) you have to write to companies for sample product .may or may not get
type 2) ematrix, ebanana like chain letter to get more people invest
type 3) group loan type like you chip in $20 every month and you may win xbox within a month or a year later etc. This ebay is more like this type 3. Is up to you to decide but I am not encouraging. A friend of mine invest $75 a month for plasma TV and still waiting for  11 months. He may win or his turn will come 3 year later or something like that. Not worth trying for. Besides they got your credit card number and will charge your every month.  dry.gif

yeah i signed up for 2 matrices on expo4less.com like a year ago and i'm still nowhere close to being on top. don't do these, think rationally about it. i emailed expo4less.com saying my mom is dying (lie) and i need my money back and they said no. ha.
