And the winners of the $25,000 are...
 

Well, you know who you are, you were contacted via private message.

Great dinner all, and it was nice meeting you all :)

Good trip to Florida and all. I am very sick however, so i will be out of commision for a few days. E-mail if you need anything.

And winners please respect the private message and post when i said to!! We have to keep this thread going for advertising dollars that we paid you ;)

I will spend it wisely.... Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!

where do i collect?

So much for respecting privacy and advertising techniques pimpporn, you liar!

Ooooops ... Errrr.... Sorry, I forgot to keep it off the boards.... I'll contact GFY mods now to have it removed... I'm thinking of using my 25k for a trip to Antarctica to go Penguin hunting. :) Or possibly to go clubbing in Alaska... baby seals that is :)

It says that private messaging is disabled for these forums when I check mine. Not that I expected to win anything! :)

I didn't think GFY had private messages?

That's what it looked like to me and many here don't have contact details publicly available.

And while you're at it, I'll take you whale hunting here in Norway!

Private message where, there is no PM's here at gfy
so are you saying nobody on gfy won?

I must have missed mine :(

congrats :disgust

the cheque is in the mail.................:2 cents:

Thats funny, sounds fishy

I knew this guy was a liar the entire time, I called this in his first thread. His whole cash giveaway is a lie. Just trying to gain respectability, probably so he can pull off a couple big scams.

There is no private message feature on GFY. You obviously couldn't have contacted anyone this way.

I would watch out for this guy, and be careful doing business with him. Do not send him any large lump sums of cash for prepaid deals or leads. He could very well be David Foote, jewcash, or one of those big time, well organized rip off artists.

I could be wrong, but I very rarely am.

Giving away $25,000. or $20,000 as he said before (can't make up his mind I guess,) but he uses a free email address. Riiiiight.

FISHY FIShY

Yeah this is bullshit, lol
What an idiot

Hints that this is a scam:

1) free email address
2) brand new ICQ address
3) posts two different prize amounts, with no explanation
4) tells winners not to post about it, the opposite of the point of sponsor giveaways
5) lying about having used private messages to alert winners

am I missing anything?

Did anyone meet this guy in Florida? Was anyone at his dinner? Could he be legit?

I'll will eat my hat if he is. If anyone has been given $25,000 by this guy, please speak up...

sorry for a few typeo's, like i said, running at 10% and pretty sick.

msg - email, whatever you wana call it, we have contacted you. LOL

stop hating because you didn't win anything.

but i will explain more as the days continue...keep the drama up :) ( i don't want to explain it all now or else i wouldn't have people to pick on in the end, except for the typeos which were truely a mistake)

how did you get the people's contact info?

well ofcourse you know, we had the winners pre-selected.

so we already were doing business with them! already have their contact info!

:upsidedow

***joke for the idiots

Pre-selected? So why call it a contest, why not call it a "Giving $ to people we know so they talk up my program/service/product"?

brad,
this is why i put "***joke for the idiots" in that reply
i thought it would help from replies like yours :)

ah yes, I can see how someone would confuse "email" with "private message".

Amazing that you were able to get the email addresses of everyone who posted in your first thread. hmm, I posted in it, but there's no way you have my email address. Odd.

Guess I didn't win. :helpme

i guess not :error

sometimes companies setup things called smart marketing schemes, wether it be bad publicity at first then turned into good publicity, you win either way...

but hey, i don't want to open the magic hat for you!

What? So you're saying, that you lied about giving away money as a publicity scam, er, I mean scheme?

That's exactly what I said you did. Thanks for confirming it.

Definitively sounds like a scam to me.

Why wouldn't you post the winners and claim to use a non existent pm system?

this sums this whole deal up.
confusing to say the least. :2 cents:

confusion and biz don't mix well for me! :upsidedow

very confusing... 20k then 25k announcement? wtf?

HAHAHAHHAHAHA

sooooooooooo owned

gfy dosen't have any private message system in place idiot !!!!!!!

It was pretty obvioulsy a fake thread, but since you never know on GFY I didn't say nothing ...

Anyways, you're prolly a fake nick anyways

Fuck 25k?!?!?!?

Scam confirmed.

So from what I am reading this all has been a marketing scam ??

So the list of winners is where???
WG

Just post the winners publicly :2 cents:

I wish I could see the light...
