Blast Off Network

[Ayos]

Is this a scam? Has there been anything like this in the past? "Press-release" copy and pasted below (I took out the guys contact info):

<<
Biggest Announcement since Google, Facebook, Twitter & All Social Media Sites

This just in. There is an incredible sound thundering through the ranks of all the people privy to this information. There is something happening that is going to absolutely revolutionally going to change how people use the Internet. This is going to surpass Google, Facebook, Twitter et

Here is what is happening. A new company is in pre-launch status called Blastoff Network. Its basically brings to one place, everything to one place you like to use the Internet for. Includes all the things that you love on your homepage. This has been done before right? The monumental difference is this--- Blastoff network has partnered with over 300 businesses like Wal-mart, K-mart, Target, Old Navy, Itunes
, Barnes & Nobles, Starbucks, Sears, Macys, Expedia, Best Western, Travelocity for travel, godaddy.com. AGAIN - There are over 300 current companies that are going to get you paid a commission of anywhere between 1% and 50% to buy their products through BlastoffNetwork. When you do buy online through the Blastoff Network, Blastoff will literally send you a check once a month with all your cash back percentages. Think about it, you go online through your Blastoffnetwork site, go to Wal-mart.com or Target, buy stuff at regular prices and Blastoff will send you a check each month for doing so. Is that not INCREDIBLE? Now - heres where it gets really crazy. Remember, this site is for FREE, Its SIMPLE, you don't have to pay to be a member, it will be your homepage, you will use it everyday, it is so very easy.

Listen up very closely, the second you sign up, you can immediately import all the names and contacts from your Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, FriendFeed, LinkedIn, or ANY social media site, your email contacts, your friends into your Blastoff page. It is EASY, at the press of a button, an email will be sent out to all your contacts inviting them to get there own Blastoff page and to join immediately. They WILL of course, they want to get paid and save to shop online like they already to anyways! And its FREE. Blastoff will now pay you a commission when all your contacts buy something through their own Blastoff page. Did you hear that? Blast off will now pay you each time your contacts buy through their own Blastoff page. AND!-Immediately after your contacts start, they will send an invitation to all of their contacts and YOU will get paid commissions for everyone they invite, and everyone they inturn invite, in your whole network at least 10 levels deep. More in some cases.

Now what does this mean? Say for example that only 3 of your contacts out of the hundreds that you send this FREE, SIMPLE, EASY, way to save and make money online, start their own page. And say those 3 get three people and those people invite 3 people and this goes on until 10 levels deep.

REMEMBER - This is ultra-conservative, you will have hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of people under you because of viral marketing. Everyone will want this, everyone shops online, everyone will want to get paid, everyone will send this to all their contacts in the Social Media sites, and they will all be under you.

Okay, suppose only ½ of those people (50%) buy only $250 in products from these online 300 big name retailers in an ENTIRE year. That is the price of one airline ticket, its ridiculous right? Who wouldn't spend that in a week at Wal-mart alone?

YOU WOULD MAKE OVER $73,000 FOR THE YEAR!!

Let me say that again, YOUR commissions for this would be over $73000 for the ENTIRE YEAR!!! SEVENTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS!

All for you only inviting this to 3 people.

Are you excited yet?

To learn more go to http://ppl.blastoffnetwork.com/*USERNAME PROTECTED* and click on What is Blastoff Tab

Remember - say you send this out to 300 people on your Facebook or MySpace, they each send it to all their contacts, say 300 or so people, (that's already 90,000 people so far) those 90000 send it to their contacts 300 each, Guys, were already in the Millions of people in YOUR network up to 10 levels of this deep. You will get paid commissions from MILLIONS of people.

Remember - The Blastoff Network is FREE, ITS EASY, ITS SIMPLE. EVERYONE WILL USE IT. YOU GET PAID TO SHOP ONLINE A PERCENTAGE FROM HUGE COMPANIES LIKE WAL-MART et WILL BE THE BIGGEST THING SINCE GOOGLE, MICROSOFT, FACEBOOK, TWITTER LAUNCHED!

Any time you see anything that the only way to make money is by signing people up for the same thing you signed up for, run away.

Pull the other one - it's got bells on.

[Legends6ii]

Yes, this is the biggest scam of them all. That should be pretty obvious by the fact that all those vendors are hopping on board, Wal-mart, K-mart, Target, Old Navy, Itunes, Barnes & Nobles, Starbucks, Sears, Macys, Expedia, Best Western, Travelocity for travel, godaddy.com. The problem here is that there have been so many scams that people have become 100% skeptical and, in fact, were never trained to recognize an opportunity when they saw one. Instead of getting into an opportunity early and profiting, they wait until it's public to jump on board. Instead of profiting from the bottled ***** industry, they're the ones spending $2 a bottle for ***** no cleaner than from the tap. Not that we were given the opportunity to position ourselves in front of that particular opportunity anyway. The founders of YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, etc. are all wealthy today and this may be your one shot in life to have been given the opportunity to get in early. It's your choice. But, please, take your time. More people for my network if you want to wait. If you're smart enough to see this for the golden opportunity it is, I can help you get in on the prelaunch instead of waiting for Oct. 12th.

[Legends6ii]

Zaneypop is right. If you got paid for signing people up, you SHOULD run away. That's NOT the case with blastoff. You only get paid when someone makes an online purchase.

Could not have said it better.

[bwh1]

Hahaha, Bigger then Google !? Guess they never studied market shares from online users.

I think this stinks scam due to several reasons

1 - People who want to buy online at Walmart go to walmart's site, or use in Google for "walmart" and get their site up. Why in hell walmart has to partner with such a site and give away 50% of his revenue ?

2 - Check out HOW payment is made form those purchases. If you pay to BlastOffnetwork, then GET off that page. They can collect money and never deliver anything to you.

3 - Making 2° tier commissions over your referrals is not ilegal, but in such a competitive field like consumer goods I doubt very much that there are margins left to distribute money to several levels, AND to BlastOffnetwork of course as well (soemhow they have to make a buck or 2).

That looks like scam to me.

I've checked this out and found that there are two offers built into the early launch that require you to make a purchase... IF or you can wait until the launch date and then set up your blastoff home page and indeed begin to set up your down line.

There are a lot of typical questions not answered like how the 'member' gets paid and how any network can pay down 10 levels and still give everyone a portion of the profits. It does not make sense mathematically.

Can a multi-vendor-linked homepage make money,sure. Imagine if this is successful and these vendors are planted on all these homepages, the value of that advertising! It would be large. IF this is legitimate, the owners need to explain how they are making money legally and how they plan to pay out to all the 'homepage' owners.

The two sponsoring vendors (Legal firm and security firm) are the big winners here and they are not paying the user to have permanent advertising on a users homepage.

Can this be legite? Yes, Can it turn into a scam, yes.

I'm sure the AG's office here in NY is already all over this one as are the law offices of the companies whose logos are appearing on this company's website).

Google for example is currently suing several internet companies for using their name without permission.

If this new internet biz is legal and forthright, they have a neat thing going for them, however, I don't see anything that will make their Oct 11 'launch' any different then what they are doing now....meaning you have to buy in if you want to make money....that might not be worth the investment.

[Legends6ii]

BWH1 stated, "

Why in hell walmart has to partner with such a site."

That seems to be the one question you should be focused on. Maybe they're just smarter than the people who are here calling it a scam.

Why in hell walmart has to partner with such a site and give away 50% of his revenue ? You obviously haven't seen blastoff's social media aspect to keep people at the mall. what you are describing is why every other online mall has not done well.

2 - Check out HOW payment is made form those purchases. If you pay to BlastOffnetwork, then GET off that page. They can collect money and never deliver anything to you. It directs you to the retailer's webpage - no money goes into blastoff. the purchase is made at WalMart Target or Macys on their secure sites and tracked by Blastoff.

3 - Making 2° tier commissions over your referrals is not ilegal, but in such a competitive field like consumer goods I doubt very much that there are margins left to distribute money to several levels, AND to BlastOffnetwork of course as well (soemhow they have to make a buck or 2). Every Store offers Cash Back Rebates (just like your cell phone provider has mail in rebates) which are sent back to BlastOff who distributes them out monthly to 10 levels out. Every store's Rebate is different ~ it is not a commission being paid but rather marketing dollars to sell products. No margin necessary. Stores have been offering rebates for years to get people to buy their products.

That looks like scam to me. Fear of something unknown can always be overcome by knowledge. Don't speculate about things you know nothing about. You know what they say about assumtions don't you?

Hmmm...Try again.

Not an Internet Biz. It's a shopping network. When you go to WalMart down the street, They already have plenty of products on their shelf that you can send in a mail order rebate and get cash back. They took this idea to the internet.

There are no commissions being paid but rather collective rebates being shared by consumers like you and me.

Stop Speculating about this thing and making more out of it than it is.

There is not a cost to join Blast Off! Ever! The Pre-Launch is a unique postion one company has to market their product early and get to the street before the Big Grand Opening. The cost you describe is a Deeply discounted Association Fee to become an independent Agent of that company to take advantage of the huge Market that Blastoff will open for their product.

People buy because they see value in something. No one can force someone to do anything. Stop complaining and know what you're talking about.

[jchristensen]

How Many stores at your local mall closed down this last year due to the lack of consumer spending? In ABQ, NM we lost a lot of really staple retail stores and watches thousands of people lose jobs.

Every year online sales are increasing while brick/mortar are losing dollars.

E-Commerce is the future and the future is Today friends. Wake up and get rid of the skepticism. Whether you like it or not it is here.

The marketplace is changing and innovation is being witnessed!

Facebook, Twitter, and My Space figured a few things out about social media marketing and networking absolutely free. People like things that are Free and they share them with their friends.

Blastoff Created the most amazing social media / viral marketing playground and shopping mall online that all of these retailers want to be at because they've created a place people want to be.

Why wouldn't the Retailers give their Cash Back "mail in" rebates back to the consumers if it means they shift from traditional malls to the internet to sell their products.

Nothing attracts people more than money. This is not a Multi Level marketing business. It is a marketing process in which consumers share 'mail in rebates' when they invite their friends.

It is a genious attempt at Attracting customers and REAL Econoimc Stimulus in our country.

Stop Reading so much into this. OUr world and the market place is changing as viral marketing is the latest and fastest way to take anything to market. It is called business.

Wake up and don't miss this ship. It sails in 9 days. Click here for Real Info about this Blastoff Deal

Word for word. Just like any MLM marketing scheme out there.

[bub_bixby]

See here for more insight on how this is pitched to Prepaid Legal associates:
http://www.slightedgewealth.com/

Not necessarily a scam, but gives me the willies. I don't want to be a part of it, and don't need to layer in a portal so I don't have to "go anywhere" to shop!?!? Seems silly to me, and just a way to enrich the tip of the pyramid. (Or, top of the MLM structure, if you will.)

[Sillark]

Blastoff is a new method for members of Pre-Paid Legal to advertise and try to recruit more people as associates of the Pre-Paid Legal Multi Level Marketing plan, under them of course. Within a day or two of signing up for the free Blastoff, the spam, advertisements, and pressure will start, wanting you to pay $100 ($72 for associates fee and $27 for membership fee, and then $17/month after that) for the legal plan none of us normal working folks need or want. Making money from this is totally dependent on getting other people to sign up to be Pre-Paid Legal members or associates.

This is not a scam in the worst sense of the word, but it is a way to get your money out of you with pitches and promises that you will make millions. Stay away from this unless you have money to siphon into a MLM. Don't fall for the "you'll make millions by just using your computer", otherwise your time and money will slowly seep away, and the already rich folks that are at the top of the chain will be enjoying your money for you. That is why people that are spamming Blastoff get so upset when someone says anything negative about it, because if just one of my words makes a dozen people shy away from this, I'm preventing them from making money off those that don't do their research first. If you do decide to join up with Pre-Paid Legal, that's your prerogative, I wish you luck. Just make sure you don't count your chickens before the eggs hatch. Promises of riches won't feed the kids.

[Cornelius]

This is very simple. To participate with Blastoff join. If not don't join. It's Free. Shop or Don't shop.
There are many people who do online shopping why not get cash back and have the potential to earn from your network. People may not get rich but how much does a store pay you when you see a bargain and tell your friends or family?

Blastoff is not a scam it's a choice. I feel all things are not for all people. Consider this, currently the Blastoff markets are the US, Canada, APO and FPO.. In the future the Blastoff market is going to expand world wide. As I said before it's going to be free to join the network. Just say no if you must, but who knows?

For Pre-Paid legal associates the ability to start building their networks outside of Pre-Paid Legal starts Sept 26, 2009 at 11:59 pm. That's the Prelaunch window. Beginning Oct, 12 2009 at 12:01am everyone can start building their networks.

Sometimes we just have to keep it simple. It's just a yes or no decision.

[mumei101]

there is a simple way of determining the truth, even though i already know this is a scam (come on, for a press release, couldn't the scammers have checked their grammer and spelling? scamming has gotten so lazy recently)

I have emailed the advertising departments of Walmart and others listed to confirm if they are affiliated with this upcoming offer. My guess is they haven't heard about it....

[Cornelius]

Press release: http://news.prnewswire.com/DisplayRe...5094969&EDATE=

[mumei101]

http://www.prnewswire.com/

This is a site where you write your own stories - so please, people defending this scam - please tell the group why this "press release" for the "next big thing" is only on this relatively unknown site, and not on the likes on CNN, BBC, SKY or ABC news websites?

CNN are even (apparently) involved with this event, but they seem keen on keeping it secret, since its not mentioned anywhere on there site?

Come on...how stupid do you think people are?

lol the source website prepaidlegal.com isnt even up.

[Cornelius]

Feel free to go to the source.

It's not a case of insinuating anyone is stupid. People should do their individual due diligence and make a decision that is within their best interest. All things are not for all people and people have the right to just say no thank you.

what does any of that mean Cornelius? stop beating around the bush and admit its a scam.

People should do their individual due dilligence? Some people cant, thats why this site exists, to tell them its A SCAM!

All things are not for all people ?? Scams are not beneficial to anybody.


Whether this site installed malware or asks for a last minute signing up fee I dont know , but what I do know is anybody who joins is going to get damaged somehow.

And NONE of those links you posted actually work. (atleast when i clicked them they didnt)

[Cornelius]

If you feel by your definition blastoff or Pre-paid legal is a scam you have that right. Maybe this link will work for you http://finance.yahoo.com/q/mh?s=PPD

My point is this isn't just some fly by night venture. If people think there is some sort of scam so be it. Just let the decison be based on facts. Some will, some won't, so what. That's the business world. Time will tell. There is no cost to join blastoff going in or once inside.

[Sillark]

well well well, now the date it goes "free" has been pushed off two weeks, to the 26th. so in order to get onboard Blastoff and make your millions and billions, you still have to sign up and pay to be a ppl associate. how much you wanna bet the free release date gets pushed off again, and again, and again..... come on people, the signs are all here. the whole objective is to get you into the ppl scheme.

[Cornelius]

I understand it doesn't matter what I say or post because some just will not believe any source.
The date for 9/26/2009 is the time limit that is exclusive for Pre-paid Legal associates to start building networks. On Oct 12, 2009 it's wide open for all others to build their networks. That's the way it is. All the information is out front in nthe open. https://www.prepaidlegal.com/blastoff/

Some are making assumptions and the bottom line is this. People have a choice to participate starting on the 26th, or the 12th or not at all..

***There is no requirement to be or become a Pre-Paid Legal Associate.

[Cornelius]

Let me say Sillark is right about the extension. The assoc. exclusive window will start Oct. 11, 2009 at 11:59pm. Blastoff for non Pre-Paid Legal people is free to join for the masses on Oct 26, 2009 at 12:00 AM. During the exclusive time period people can only join Blastoff through a PPL associate. Why they did this I don't know. I'm sure a reason will be forthcoming. I just got the updated email..

There is no scheme. Let's deal with facts.

[mumei101]

Cornelius, just because you give people the choice to enter or not, does not mean its ethical. its a blatent scam.
please stop banging on about "choices" - its a scam that gets people to join under false pretences, so whether they give you the option to join or not to join is wholly irrelevant.

Of course we're not going to believe you - point me to the page please on CNN where they talk about it? Or ABC? Or Walmate? Or Dell? Or Facebook? Or godaddy.com? Or I-tunes?

You can't, because they have nothing to do with it.

Sillark, you mentioned something about people paying to be a ppl associate, could you elaborate for me? Cheers.

[mumei101]

There is no scheme. Let's deal with facts.

Okay lets deal with facts

No one has heard of this scheme, including CNN and Walmart. Fact.


Its a scam. Fact.

[Cornelius]

The partnership was just recently rolled out to the associates. If you have any in depth questions about the nationwide promotions please feel free to call Pre-p=Paid legal corp. I can not and will not attempt to answer a question like that. I am not in the know of how this promotion is going to happen. You can see the associate information at www.prepaidlegal.com/blastoff

As for the companies you mentioned they may not have anything to do with blastoff as an investor or they might. I suggest you contact blastoff or Pre-Paid legal for that information. I'm not going to post false information so I suggest you go to the source. I have no idea what agreements are in place.

One way to prove it's a scam is to join Blastoff and see for yourself when it opens up. If there's any fee you will see or anything else going on you will see it.

[mumei101]

Well it doesnt matter, i can prove its a scam by asking the companies that they have directly said they are affiliated with if that is indeed true. ill get the answers soon and ill post them on here. the idea is to find out its a scam BEFORE it launches, so i dont think ill be be joining.

for someone defending the scheme so vigourously, you dont seem to know a whole lot about it, including the companies it is reportedly affiliated with (you dont have to look far, its splashed all over the website)

Try doing your homework.

[Cornelius]

Our definitions of what a scam is are different. I encourage everyone to do some fact finding if they feel that's something they need to do and I'm not defending any scheme. I just don't know what agreements Blastoff and/or Prepaid Legal have as to participation of the vendors and I won't try to speculate.

[mumei101]

Your not sure as to the agreements of the participtation of the vendors?

Well I would assume they would have to participate quite a bit, since BlastOff want them to give consumers a percentage of any purchases back... and give their customers preferential treatment - since you have not looked very deepy into this, ill help you out - this is written on the homepage -

"When you join the Blastoff Network, you receive preferential treatment from the biggest names in retail like iTunes, Dell, Walmart, Gap and Travelocity. When you link to these websites and make purchases, you receive anywhere from 1%-10% cash back in your Blastoff Network Account."

You dont have to speculate - its written on their homepage in black and white.

Its obvious you are just dodging the issues since you dont really have a leg to stand on, but try and answer this - dont you think all these companies listed on the BlastOff website are going to be a little surprised when a company none of them have heard of asks for them to give their customers "preferential treatment"- AND a percentage of a sale back to the customer?

LOL, and your not sure to the exact agreement of participation....

I think somehow it wont work, dont you?

[Cornelius]

To get the information on the inner workings of the agreements/contracts that information will have to come from Blastoff. I'm not dodging anything. What you are asking I don't know. The compensation will come from Blastoff. Blastoff will cut the checks. Blastoff and Pre-paid Legal are two seperate companies and if by chance there are any major issues with the program I am confident Pre-Paid legal will address them. With the partnership of Blastoff Pre-paid Legal will get massive exposure. Yes it is a business venture.

Just so you know I understand where your coming from and I'm not taking any of this personal. Sometimes people let some of this go beyond the fact that we are individual people who may just disagree. I don't think any of this is a scam by any means and you do? That's how it is in the business world.

[Bruceinvt]

How is this different from Aisle19?

cutting to the chase Cornelius, your messages dont make any sense - you come onto this thread whole heartily defending something everyone else knows is a scam but you cannot answer the simplest of questions.

Ill ask a question that you DO know the answer to - why do you think its NOT a scam?

Despite all common sense showing it wont work (the companies BlastOff are "affiliated" with have never heard of them - nobody else is talking about it other than BlastOff and Pre-yadda yadda Legal - Pre-yadda yaddda Legals website still isnt working) why do you believe this is legit?

Perhaps because your invested or running the scam maybe?
Either way its here- http://www.thatsnonsense.com/index.p...on=view&id=298

At this point I would ask that you direct all your questions to Pre-Paid Legal Corporate.

"Well it doesnt matter, i can prove its a scam by asking the companies that they have directly said they are affiliated with if that is indeed true. ill get the answers soon and ill post them on here. the idea is to find out its a scam BEFORE it launches, so i dont think ill be be joining."

It costs $99 to become an associate. As an associate, you try to get people to sign up for a Pre-Paid Legal service, and you get paid a kind of commission for those that join, and get penalized for people that join and then quit. You also get paid for people that you convince to pay the $99 to become an associate below you. This is your basic MLM scheme (not scam, since the legal service is not fictitious, thus not illegal, just useless for 99% of us)

To make it clear, Blastoff is not a totally separate company from Pre-Paid Legal Inc. Blastoff is not a company at all. The CEO of Pre-Paid Legal Inc, financed and rolled out Blastoff as a "foot in the door" method to recruit associates and clients.

The promise of easy money is what is making this whole thing a touchy subject to the PPL crowd, as most of them are still paying in and not making any money, yet still believe the promises. You have a better chance of becoming a millionaire by buying a lottery ticket. And as we all know, you'll get hit by lightning before that happens.

Hmm I see.

I got a reply from Walmart, they are investigating it and will reply again soon. All I asked was if they were associated with BlastOff Network and their initial reply was -

"We appreciate your notifying us of the issue below. We take these
matters very seriously and are investigating all uses of the Wal-Mart
name, trademarks and logos (unauthorized or otherwise). Currently, we
are looking into the matter. Please rest assured that we are doing our
best to protect you from forgery attempts by forwarding this
notification to the appropriate party for research and investigation."

Notice how all I asked was if they were associated with these people, and they sent a reply that included the words "unauthorized" and "forgery attempts" - think that tells us all we need to know reall, but hopefully they will confirm soon.

Hows that popcorn tasting idinlove?

This is false, Sillark. Where do you get this sh*t?

<<
Biggest Announcement since Google, Facebook, Twitter & All Social Media Sites

This just in. There is an incredible sound thundering through the ranks of all the people privy to this information. There is something happening that is going to absolutely revolutionally going to change how people use the Internet. This is going to surpass Google, Facebook, Twitter et

Here is what is happening. A new company is in pre-launch status called Blastoff Network. Its basically brings to one place, everything to one place you like to use the Internet for. Includes all the things that you love on your homepage. This has been done before right? The monumental difference is this--- Blastoff network has partnered with over 300 businesses like Wal-mart, K-mart, Target, Old Navy, Itunes
, Barnes & Nobles, Starbucks, Sears, Macys, Expedia, Best Western, Travelocity for travel, godaddy.com. AGAIN - There are over 300 current companies that are going to get you paid a commission of anywhere between 1% and 50% to buy their products through BlastoffNetwork. When you do buy online through the Blastoff Network, Blastoff will literally send you a check once a month with all your cash back percentages. Think about it, you go online through your Blastoffnetwork site, go to Wal-mart.com or Target, buy stuff at regular prices and Blastoff will send you a check each month for doing so. Is that not INCREDIBLE? Now - heres where it gets really crazy. Remember, this site is for FREE, Its SIMPLE, you don't have to pay to be a member, it will be your homepage, you will use it everyday, it is so very easy.

Listen up very closely, the second you sign up, you can immediately import all the names and contacts from your Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, FriendFeed, LinkedIn, or ANY social media site, your email contacts, your friends into your Blastoff page. It is EASY, at the press of a button, an email will be sent out to all your contacts inviting them to get there own Blastoff page and to join immediately. They WILL of course, they want to get paid and save to shop online like they already to anyways! And its FREE. Blastoff will now pay you a commission when all your contacts buy something through their own Blastoff page. Did you hear that? Blast off will now pay you each time your contacts buy through their own Blastoff page. AND!-Immediately after your contacts start, they will send an invitation to all of their contacts and YOU will get paid commissions for everyone they invite, and everyone they inturn invite, in your whole network at least 10 levels deep. More in some cases.

Now what does this mean? Say for example that only 3 of your contacts out of the hundreds that you send this FREE, SIMPLE, EASY, way to save and make money online, start their own page. And say those 3 get three people and those people invite 3 people and this goes on until 10 levels deep.

REMEMBER - This is ultra-conservative, you will have hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of people under you because of viral marketing. Everyone will want this, everyone shops online, everyone will want to get paid, everyone will send this to all their contacts in the Social Media sites, and they will all be under you.

Okay, suppose only ½ of those people (50%) buy only $250 in products from these online 300 big name retailers in an ENTIRE year. That is the price of one airline ticket, its ridiculous right? Who wouldn't spend that in a week at Wal-mart alone?

YOU WOULD MAKE OVER $73,000 FOR THE YEAR!!

Let me say that again, YOUR commissions for this would be over $73000 for the ENTIRE YEAR!!! SEVENTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS!

All for you only inviting this to 3 people.

Are you excited yet?

To learn more go to http://ppl.blastoffnetwork.com/*USERNAME PROTECTED* and click on What is Blastoff Tab

Remember - say you send this out to 300 people on your Facebook or MySpace, they each send it to all their contacts, say 300 or so people, (that's already 90,000 people so far) those 90000 send it to their contacts 300 each, Guys, were already in the Millions of people in YOUR network up to 10 levels of this deep. You will get paid commissions from MILLIONS of people.

Remember - The Blastoff Network is FREE, ITS EASY, ITS SIMPLE. EVERYONE WILL USE IT. YOU GET PAID TO SHOP ONLINE A PERCENTAGE FROM HUGE COMPANIES LIKE WAL-MART et WILL BE THE BIGGEST THING SINCE GOOGLE, MICROSOFT, FACEBOOK, TWITTER LAUNCHED!

CNN are even (apparently) involved with this event, but they seem keen on keeping it secret, since its not mentioned anywhere on there site?

Come on...how stupid do you think people are?

Will the real press release please stand up? Oh, THERE you are...where have you been? On CNN? But mumei says you're not there. Let's try THAT one again too.
http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/...___DA76345.htm Please let me know if this link doesn't work for you mumei. If anyone has trouble with this link, can you let me know and I'll try again.
