lockerz

Postby MoonWatcher » 04.04.10 6:05pm

i found this site just today actually
apparently this site is supposed to give you prizes like ipods,video games and flat screenn tvs
just for getting points
points
nothing else
just useless, nonexistent points
I personly find this to be absolute bullshit, but people are coming to this site and actualy think theyre going to get an ipod just for collecting a lot of points
what do you think?
I didn't break it, I just un-fixed it

It seems like a scam to me. I would stay away from it until more is learned about it...

Yeah, GammaRidley nailed it on the head. It's a scam; don't waste your time with it.

Pretty much any site/ad that says you can get free things or prizes is a scam.

Too true.

The only ones that aren't are games that are either spammed to hell and back with ads, or are "free" but all the good stuff requires you pay.

Well, apparently many accuse it of being a scam, but I'm not sure.

I'm a Lockerz member, it *seems* legit so far. I've been unable to order anything because they're always out of stock when I want to buy something. :(

If you want an invite, just ask...

They don't want any money from you, they just want you to anwser an easy question each day. The answers are being sold to the Market Research buisness, I'm 100% sure.

I got Pokemon Platinum from lockers. the reason the prizes are always out is because they only stock like once a month and it's first come first serve. But after I got my game I never went back.

As far as I can tell, the deal with lockerz is that they sell your demographic/activity data to marketers, and give you PTZ in return. You can, in theory, redeem PTZ for products.

What makes it a borderline scam (in my opinion, at least) is that they make it sound a lot easier to get products from them than it really is. They severely understock and have oversensitive cheating detection, so you're going to have a hard time actually redeeming your PTZ for anything of significant value.

Needless to say, don't start posting lockerz invites here.
