Unique Fundraiser

[misty]

An established company in Manila, RingSMS, charges advertisers like Nescafe and Coca-Cola for sending messages to mobile phone users worldwide. Mobile phone users who elect to receive those messages get paid cash by RingSMS.

 

The program is free to join and you don't even have to own a mobile phone to join as you get paid also for referrals - 10 levels deep.

 

This is an ideal fundraiser for schools, clubs, charities. We know of 15 schools who have referred some 8000 people to the program.

 

Here's a suggested scenario for clubs, for example, joining the program:

 

- The club signs up for the program.

- On receiving email confirmation of sign-up and getting the club's unique online Web page, the club advises members of the available program.

- The club signs up members via the club's online Web page so that the club can gain commissions from referring members.

- The club gains further commissions, 10 levels deep, on referrals signed up by their members.

Fundraising policies of the BSA require that a service be performed or a physical product be sold. The fundraiser you describe does not meet the criteria of the BSA. You would be violating the BSA's trademark rights and it could result in a lawsuit against your charter organization and individuals on the committee.

Thank you for that information. We certainly have no intention of violating BSA rules.

That's what I want. Spam on my phone. It costs me two cents to receive a message so they had better be paying me 3 cents.

 

A pyramid marketing scheme. A product of questionable value. This has all the earmarks of a major scam. It may not be illegal but it is of questionable value.

 

Run away!

Regarding your comments,yaworski:

 

RingSMS will not be sending Spam to anybody's mobile phone. Members ELECT to receive advertising messages and will be paid up to US12 cents per message.

 

How can you refer to our business as a pyramid scheme without collecting any facts about the company? The company is a real company based in Manila and I have on hand details of the management structure, some officers having many years in the business sector. For my part, I have nothing to hide. If you want my name, address and telephone number just mailto:bobjud@ihug.co.nz

 

The program is FREE to join and you get 100 FREE company shares on joining. You are not asked to pay anything whatsoever.

 

You, no doubt, listen to radio and television commercials. The mobile phone is just another medium for advertisers. This method of advertising is not new - if you plug in 'SMS messages' in your Web browser you will see that the system is very popular in Europe.

Paid up to 12 cents per message. That means anywhere from .001 cents to 12 cents. Why isn't this information on the company's web site. The whole site is a bit light on the information.

 

As for it being a pyramid, what else could you call it when participants are encouraged to hook new suckers so that they can make more money?

 

As for it being popular in Yurrip, Yurripeans have rarely impressed me as being the sharpest tools in the shed.

 

As for ads on radios, I hit the station change button and with TV, I flip to another channel.

 

Wow! 100 free shares in the company. What are those shares worth? A buck each? A penny? How many shares will be given out? What is the worth of the company?

 

I'm not impressed and I'm still skeptical.
