Paintball Scam or Not!?!?!?!

[slimfat]

Ok, i am sure many of you have heard of this already. I have been recently been debating on buying a paintball gun from a matrix website(matrix paradise). It is one of those sites where you pay like $300 for a dye dm6, but recieve it like 3-4 months later. There is a wide range of items to choose from. Has anyone ever tried one of these sites??? If so, does it work, or is it just some huge scam? These sites are all over ebay!!! People are buying like $10 to recieve the url!!! If anyone is interested in the site, i could also give you the link. Can someone please help me, i really don't wanna waste $300!!!
Thanx

“Pyramid/Matrixes”

How it works: Now first off not all of these sites are scams, although 75% of them are. Now allow me to explain...you usually see these sites advertising “An Angel For $300 DM4 For $200!” Now the catch you enter into a matrix and after five people have paid the “$***$” you receive the product. Now you are wondering what the catch is, it takes months if not years for this matrix to fill. Now you can enter in twice or even three times and have your name on the list three times, but still it takes a long time for the lists to cycle. Now that is the legit sites, let’s talk about the scam sites...these usually list in their rules/regulations that a matrix can be cleared at anytime for any reason. This is mostly ever site you see nowadays...Now while we are on the subject lets talk about how these sites are still in business...they are “selling” items at such a low price right? Right? Wrong.

5 People @ $300=$1500
1 Item @ $800=$800
Profit=$700

Most of the people who run these sites are retailers who have a wholesale license. They buy the product and sell it a VERY substantial profit on a practice that is ILLEGAL in 47 states. These sites should be avoided due to the fact that if a charge is filed against the person/s involved anyone that is listed in these “Matrixes” can be charged.

Nope scam. Don't do it, it could be years before you see anything out of it.
