    He is selling a list of manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors of electrical goods. The idea is that you contact them and tell them that you want to distribute their product and will they send you a sample. It has about as much chance of working as.......

    I think he is selling a link to a site like this :

    http://producttestpanel.com/hppvl/index.php?p=hppvl&lid=hppvl-addrive_1662

    or this :

    http://www.consumerincentivepromotions.com/xg_reg.htm?SID=64e4f739d88b11f26b9ca7836c1b8bdf&landing_page=1&show=zip&=&p=93836&a=3390-yifarticles&c=7549-genhandycam_emc_d1f1&catalog_id=151

    This is what you have to do :

    How does this work?

    Consumerincentivepromotions operates an incentive promotion program where consumers can receive a gift after fulfilling the participation requirements.

    The cost of the gift is covered by the offer sponsors (such as Columbia House, Discover Card, and others), and once you complete the participation requirements, we will send you the gift with free shipping!

    Companies spend a lot of money in advertising trying to recruit users to their services, why not turn the tables and reward the consumer with that money?

    3 Easy Steps to Get Your Gift

    To receive the incentive gift for this promotion ('DVD Camcorder') you must complete the following steps:

    Register with your accurate contact info (such as email & postal address) when requested so we know where to ship your gift.


    Complete a total of 6 sponsor offers.

    The required sponsor offers must be completed in the following sequence: Two (2) offers need to be completed from 'Top Offers 1' group, Two (2) offers need to be completed from 'Top Offers 2' group and Two (2) offers need to be completed from 'Top Offers 3' group respectively. Our sponsors cover the entire cost of your gift along with the shipping & handling fees for us to ship the gift to you.

    Examples of sponsored offers may include free trial offers, credit cards, free quote requests and other free or low-cost offers. Please note that there are typically a variety of offers presented for your selection - some offers require a small purchase, while others are free trials or free applications which does not require a purchase (and can be cancelled without obligation).

    To 'Complete' an offer, you must sign up, get approved for and activate (where applicable*) the sponsor offer, while following any instructions and terms that are provided.

    *For Discover Card offers, the card must be activated by making a purchase, balance transfer or cash advance in order for the offer to be considered 'completed'.

    When our sponsors report to us that you completed their offers, your account will be updated accordingly. This will generally take 4 to 6 weeks depending on the offer.


    After your account has been updated with the required number of completed offers, log into your account and access your mail-in address confirmation form.

    The redemption web site is at http://www.cvhtrdsncentivepromotions.com/redeem.htm - Once you confirm your mailing address, we will send your gift! Please allow 4 - 6 weeks for delivery of your gift.
    Pitfall with some of these sites is, they require you to live in the usa !
    not much use to us then !!
