Pyramid schemes, i was approached Options

[MaskedMan]

Hey well i talking to one of my friends, and she told me that her friends was asking people to join this thing where i sign up (and pay like $400) to help market this pill call the MPG-CAP (even though what they really want us to do is get other people to join and pay $400). They claim the pill will add HP and MPG by just adding this pill in your tank before every fill up. I asked the guy personally how the pill worked exactly, and he couldn't answer me, so he sent me a video he said explained everything. But the videos explained nothing. The guy in the video said "you don't need to know how it works, you just need to know it works and sell it". So im like wth, so i wanted to learn more about the pill even though i wasn't interested in selling it. So i attended a seminar about it, and again nobody there had any idea how the pill worked. So then i decided to do some online research. Theres like no information on the pill at all, but all the search results that came up told me about how this is all just a marketing scam hahaha. I just wondered if anybody else has heard of this. It's called MPG-CAP from a company called Fuel For Freedom (FFI). It's like the new biggest scam now apparently.

Wow that sounds like a good way to make some money, and save gas.....i think the 400$ signup fee is a small price to pay for something that work so well..................hahahahahahaha, what kinda crap is that???......Its sad to think that ppl think others will buy a sorry scam like that, even sader for those who actually fall for it.......anywho, nope never heard of it, or anywho who was affiliated with a *cough* scam such as that.........

even IF the product works (and lets assume you get on average 2 mpg better with it), your still looking at a lot of gas to recover that sign up cost if the car averages 25 MPG... People are dumb

Yeah it was sad at the seminar to see the people there eating up everything he said. They were like "omg i added the pill and i got 35mpg!, if i keep using it i can get up to 40mpg! and i can feel the power!" To me that doesn't even make sense haha. Cuase my friends that work at toyota test drove the tC compared to a supercharged tC and they could barely feel the difference. I don't think a pill can add a noticable power difference if a supercharger cannot haha. I think their buttdynos were off a bit. They are also trying to market this other product called MPG-BOOSTER, but you add it into your oil instead of your gas tank. And the guy said, "if you add this, you will only have to change your oil every 9,000 miles instead of 3,000 miles so you save money on oil changed too!" I was like WHAAAT!? Now people aren't going to be changing their oil on time either.... sniff sniff i feel sorry for their cars .

A product that requires $400 just to get other people to join is very suspicious. Let me guess... the more people you have under you... the more money you make right? It sounds like the classic Ponzi Scheme to me...

Sucks... everyone trying to rip each other off these days...

I did a little search on your FFI, check it out below.
