Shopping site

[mbschram]

I made a new shopping site to collect money for the Tea Party! It contains the entire Amazon.com library of products and has the best prices you'll find on whatever you're looking for--DVD's, iPods, cameras, etc.

I'm donating 100% of the profits from now through election day 2008 to the Ron Paul Campaign. [Admin note: please consider there is no guarantee donations will be made when giving money to any place other than RonPaul2008.com- use your own judgment ]

The site makes about 5% on everything sold and it will all (after hosting expenses) be donated on Tea Party day and every day thereafter.

Please check it out. (comments and criticisms welcome)

Please let me know how best to publicize this site...people will have to shop for the holidays, so let's shop here and help the cause.

thanks, Mike

I'd be wary about trusting people who say they will donate profits to RP.

There was a scam on Youtube a while back with someone promising to donate all his CD sales to RP.

If your not 100% convinced that the money is going to Ron, then don't buy.



No offense if you are honest Mike, but like I said I've seen a scam with a similair theme...

And this is your first post on the board, and your site isn't very convincing to me, I have reason to be wary.

Agreed 100%.

Why bother taking a chance when you can donate directly to the campaign.

If this is legit, sorry. No offense. But we can't take our chances.

Notice how he only has 1 post on here, as well. Not convinced yet.

[Jobarra]

Actually, either way, it's not really that legitimate. If you reach $2300 total, what happens to all the extra profit?

Most likely this is a campaign law violation as well.

Bad idea.

All I say is "sketchy", this thread should be locked or deleted.

[mbschram]

I'm sorry the thread has turned this direction...you can click through the cart and see that your at a secure Amazon.com login screen. The only way it could be a scam is if I didn't give the profits to the campaign.

Just trying to do something novel to help the cause....thought it went further than my bumper sticker and doesn't cost anyone an additional dime.

[Mental Dribble]

But mike, you can only donate 2300 to a campaign, what would u do with the rest of the money?

Flagged for possible phishing.

[Vendico]

yah sounds scamish to me but what do I know

[Indy Vidual]

FYI: The checkout does lead to Amazon.com
Happy holidays.

[mbschram]

Phishing? Are you serious? Look at the sight...no login, user input, nothing...secure login only at amazon.com...Look and see...HTTPS://

I'd love to have the problem of how to donate more than $2300...wife, parents, my company...

This proposition actually costs me money. No good deed goes unpunished.

[Indy Vidual]

Thank you for the big effort, some people are very cautious.

Mods:

Even if this guy is legit and has his heart in the right place, the promo is against FEC rules.

[mbschram]

How is it against FEC rules? I'm not familiar.
