Do you believe that this company will really give away a free laptop?

If I pay the membership fee which is $49.95, do you believe that they will really give me a Sony VAIO AW Series Notebook PC? I have contacted this company by email asking them this since this year. I have never received a response at all from them. Have you ever heard of this site before? I researched it and someone has written an article saying that this site is very legitimate. Some people had complaints, while others had great results from this Data Entry Program. They have an "F" rating with the Better Business Bureau. Which turns me off completely. Please check out this site and tell me what you think/believe. Thanks! http://nationaldataentry.com/

I think you know the answer to this already. If it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true. Nothing comes free anymore, there's always something behind it. And seeing you already checked with the BBB, that should be enough, PLUS, they never responded to your emails. That's a no-no right there also. I wouldn't hesitate in a second to forget it.

Hi, Kashmeresmycat. They make it seem like they are such an legitimate site. When I email them an inquiry, an autoresponder will contact me back immediately at my email address. It specifies that the customer support has received my message, but they say to give them 24 to 48 hours for a reply, but no one ever emails me back. I betcha if I send them the $49.95 membership fee, they will make sure that they collect this money, I bet. They also have a toll free number listed. It is on the BBB Report. I called the number yesterday and it is out of service. It figures...

People have to be extremely careful with regards to companies that have high membership fees and a history of complaints, simply because the company may not deliver its promises. Not only that, but the consumers will be short sometimes hundreds and even thousands of dollars after dealing with the particular company. If one person has a good experience with a company but many others have a bad experience it doesn't necessarily mean the company is bad, but take all of the experiences into consideration and make a smart, thoughtful decision as an intelligent consumer before making a committment to a company or deal, no matter what the membership fees may be at that time.

I dun think it's real.. haha =D MOst of these sites, they often give out limited stuffs to its members, and be asking those members to write a testimony for them, to prove that the company is legit.. Of course, those whom get those stuffs will say it's legit, but those whom sign up and get nothing, will state otherwise.. haha =D IMagine, if everybody were to sign up, and pay only 50 for a laptop, what will the company be earning?? haha PLus, not everybody whom pay for the membership will be active in that site ya.. haha

cream97 if you have to pay fifty dollars for membership right off the bat if they did give you a Sony notebook pc it already is not free, and like a lot of scams they probably have another thing or two you must sign up for or pay before you can get said free notebook. I had never heard of them before but if the BBB gives them an f, I would not want their free anything.

Ya,it sound like scam if not then,sure a lot of term and condition that is not good for the customer.HEre in my country, free notebook and hp are common trick . Unfavour condition include compulsory contract of 2 years if break contract have to paid the reminder months or paid full amount for the notebook.BEside that,some need to join membership and registertion fees will be a another lump sum, another is need to put deposite which cannot be taken back until contract expire.Some are purchase with purchase your need to buy their product to certain amount then only free.That amount will be in hundreds.

I have tried many of these type of things only to be left out and not get a thing. I have even bought things like they asked me to and paid for them finishing my contract with them and still did not get the computer or whatever I was suppose to get. No, I don't think this place is leggit.

I would not trust this site. First, the need to pay membership fees is something I am not comfortable with. If there is money back guarantee, then it makes sense to "invest" in it. Otherwise, I would not jump into it since they do not respond. The least they can do is to acknowledge the mail to indicate there is life out there. Besides, if they are really truthful, would they get a 'F' grade? I would rather give it a miss.

Actually the fact they got an "F" with the B.B.B. I would say stay away, far away cream... It isn't worth your time and money..

From my logic I think it is a scam. They wouldn't be able to afford giving away thousands of these things for 50 dollars, they would go bankrupt. It is most likely a scam.

This is so obviously a scam...all the signs are there. Asking for money, no reply to emails, bad grade from the BBB, and a non-working phone number. What more do you need to stay away from them?
