Scam or the real deal?
 
Their is a message board I signed up for which is supposed to be an upcoming car website. They are looking for at least ten cars in each state to sponser. I posted my car and this is the reply I got.


Hey,

First off I would just like to thank you for your interest in a crda sponsorship package. We are a fairly new company but were growing fast. Are main goal is to become a well known chain of stores kind of like Pep Boys but for high quality performance parts. With your help we hope to reach our goal.

Current Sponsorship packages:

Wholesale: This is where everyone starts off. We start you off with great discount prices until you can prove your self to be a serious car enthusiast. This package includes free decals, free mix tape, free shirts, hats and whole sale prices.

75% off: After proving yourself you will be upgraded to a 75% package. This package includes free decals, free mix tape, free shirts, hats and 75% off selected items.

Full sponsorship: After proving even more you will be upgraded to a full sponsorship. This package includes free decals, free mix tape, free shirts, hats and free selected items.

FAQ

How do I prove myself?

It’s really simple all you have to do is promote us. Promotion includes wearing our decals, Passing out flyers, passing out business cards, attending at least 1 major show a year and just helping us improve sales.

Why can’t I start off with a Full sponsorship?

It just wouldn’t be smart on our part to just hand out parts to just anyone. We are a business and just like every other business we’re here to make money. We just need to know your true intentions before giving you a full sponsorship.

Does this cost anything because most other sites charge like $89 dollars.

In the beginning no. But a few people we sponsored just took our free decals, mix tape, shirts etc and never helped us out. To protect us we have no choice but to charge a 1 time $19.50 processing fee. This covers the shipping cost.

If your truly serious this shouldn’t be a problem for you. We hope to hear from you soon.

What do you think?

heck for a shirt and hat it's not bad, figure they give you the deal you buy at "wholesale" they still make money since they don't show real cost tell some friends they buy at full price yadda yadda

So you think it would be worth it to take the $20 plunge?

hmm...sounds kinda cool. but. didn't something like this already go down in flames?

archemedes 02-27-2005 11:55 PM

I'd do it. Like they said, even if it isn't great, at least you get some free stuff. What is the site? I'd be kind of interested.
