Multi-Level Scheme to Give Away Free PCs
from the waiting-for-the-spam-to-hit-me dept
Hand Technologies is now giving away PCs through a multi-level marketing deal, where you become a "technology consultant". Of course, it's a bit of a scam. As a technology consultant (for which you need to pay $145 to get the honor) you get to go out and sell more of those very same PCs to others who will sign up to be technology consultants. In other words, it's the same Amway thing that's been going on for ages. I am just waiting to start getting spam for Hand "Technology Consultants" with great offers. Why do people go for things like this? I'll never understand it...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
