Bit of a Con do you think?

Hmmm....Giving away free laptops, because they don't fit their requirements...very fishy!

Of course it is, there loads of these sort of groups going around at the moment.

Ignore and move on. Not even worth mentioning.

They bought thousands of laptops and Dell won't take them back :confused: as if.

The worrying thing is, a lot of people are actually being taken in by this :eek:
I wonder how many people are actually copying and pasteing the code into their address bar.

"We have tens of thousands of laptops that we ordered from Dell that don't fit our requirements for UDK development. The problem is that Dell won't let us return these laptops and by selling these laptops we will lose money. I then thought of something great to do with the laptops - give them away free."

They say that if they sell the laptops they will lose money. By giving them away free, won't they lose even MORE money though?

Also you'd think they'd have checked the laptops DID fit their UDK requirements BEFORE ordering tens of thousands of them!

An obvious con.

Looks like it might be a mass data capture. I tried the 'tinyurl' link... not the javascript :O and it asks for your name and address and you have to visit some othersite trying to sell you something.
So someone makes money from click-throughs and someone gathers data.
