Its a con...without a doubt and if we could get the administators to ban him whats to stop him coming staright back on using a new username and starting to spam us once again. Do the maths. Mr. John is promising "10 seconds of fame" for just 25UKP. He has stated in his that if he doesn't raise 500,000 by the end of January the project is cancelled and the money will be refunded. There are only 1999 units available to purchase on eBay. 1,999 x 25 = 49,975. So even if he sells all his units he is still UKP 450,250 short. To make 500K using this scheme he would have to sell 20,000 units and I may be naive but I don't think there are 20,000 people on the planet that are that desperate for "fame" that they would buy into this. Lets play the devils advocate and consider what he is actually offering. 1999 names scrolling in the credits AND 10 seconds of screen time each. We've all watched credits scrolling past so fast noone can actually read them so that is obviously what is intended with the scrolling name offer. So how is the picture on the screen bit going to work. It certainly isn't going to be individually as this would take nearly 6 hours to get through all 1999 units for the requisite 10 seconds. Say he has allocated just 1 minute of screen time to this offer with 6 pages of photos containing 333(.166r) on each page. Without getting too technical lets take it down to something we all can get our heads round. The resolution of the monitor you are reading thing message on is probably set to 1024x768 (I'm using a 19" monitor and this is more than small enough to cause me eyes strain) thats 786432 total pixels available. 333 pictures could be formatted to 10x33 so your picture, for the purposes of this excercise will be 31x76. Which on your screen be approx 7.5mm x 1cm. The size of the image will (roughly) double with every additional minute of screen time allocated to this scheme by reducing the number of pictures on each page. Imagine what happens to these figures when instead of 1999 units he does actually sell the required 20,000. Sing after me...to the tune of the well known footbal chant "here we go" § It's a con...Its a con...It's a con...etc.§ Some guy trying to make a quick 50 grand to pay for his kids Christmas presents or his mortage. It's just depressing that once again, he has chosen to target the acting community...someone must have told him we are all spoilt little rich kids, with 5 brain cells between us with nothing else to do but buy our way to fame...we don't need the fortune bit as we'll get daddy's when he croaks. Rant over...I hope I bump into Mr. John in the pub one day ForbesKB
