Can you give me some help with this, advice needed.

Is this web site too good to be true? I have come across this web site and it looks too good to be true to me but at the same time there seems to be lots of people using it. It’s advertised as an auction site and at the same time like a private members club. There is a £2.50 membership fee (which has so far put me off) and I’m trying to work out the con but there isn’t one or doesn’t seem to be one. I would be interested in anyone’s comments about this. Oh the web site is: https://www.auctions-united.com and the bit that makes it sound too good to be true is that they say they give you £25 when you join and £25 for referrals and that you can spend this money (they call it CyberCash) on items like ipod’s and laptops etc. I’ve looked and there are some for sale and the sellers say they accept this CyberCash. I’m looking at what I’m writing thinking “why don’t you just join your talking yourself into it” but at the same time it sounds too good to be true and I’ve heard that message boards like this are great for finding out if something is a scam or not. I wonder if there is a list somewhere of other too good to be true web sites……lol

Hmmm..

Sometimes I can be a bit impetuous, but let's look at the evidence:

• First time poster
• Only joined today
• Post mentioning another site, with all features listed
• Starts with phrase "Is this too good to be true?" and then repeats it throughout the post

Now, I may be wrong, but :spam: springs to mind.

If it's not, I apologise, but all the classic signs are there.

I thought exactly the same when I read it. I'll be interested to see if this pops up in other boards now.

I also apologise if wrong, but I wont hold my breath

I don't know whether this is a legitimate question, but the rule is if it's too good to be true it probably is. Frankly, the chap who runs that site appears to be, shall we say, somewhat paranoid. I would never have business dealings with someone who feels that his problems are due to everyone else. If something goes wrong, you know whose fault it would be (i.e. yours). Stay away.
