More info?)
Had a look at the website - it's interesting if anyone wants to look at how
a con works.
This one works by requiring 80 people to sign up with them, before they send
off a free laptop, this is $3200 (enough to buy a sony vaio with plenty to
spare). However, this free laptop doesn't get sent to you - you're on the
bottom of an enormous list of people who have fallen for this - look at this
page, and see how long it takes to scroll down...

In other words, you'll not get a laptop until this con-man has made himself
a millionaire (by conservative estimates).
