Good afternoon. I am a new member here @ anandtech, and do not know the correct place to put this article.

A while ago, a member, placed an add here for FREE ALPHA TESTING at urcomp.com

Link To Article (LOCKED)

Anyway I emailed this tool, and he replied with the following

[no were going to give you a $1000.00 computer because were not intrested in
makeing profit, in fact were just trying to get rid of some extra money that
we dont need.

So for me to taske part in this offer, I have to actually purchase a
computer from you, its not a TESTING then, its a customer/purchase
analysis, which is not a testing.

from you to test it.

Thinking im a newb or something, he sent me a link with pop-ups of "You are an idiot"
a brisk alt-f4 ended that fiasco.

I then felt a need to send him 2,000 emails evry few hours..
Cron job still in effect, he should enjoy.

P.S - UPDATE ---
----------------

Do to frequent (and annoying) email received about the misunderstood junction that the computers are free (im sorry I was a little sarcastic in my response to some sent emails asking for free computers), I am officially announcing that urcomp.com lacks the funds to purchase computers for alpha testers, we are however giving them away for just the cost of parts and labor NO PROFITS! If you are interested visit our sign up link:

alpha.urcomp.com

thank you,

-Eric

I am amazed.

I've had free lunches, some day traders get rich working home, and someday there will probably be something that you can buy from the internet that will make your wanker bigger.
However, this one is definitely a scam.

"and labor NO PROFITS"

Is my personal favorite.


95% of Profit on machines, come from Labor.

Very little on parts.


Ohhh,. oh so great.
