Got an email asking me all sorts of dodgy info and this website was plastered all over it. They were asking for a donation etc.
Can anyone take a look and try and get it zapped if it is dodgy.
Cheers!  |

Certainly looks pretty dodgy.

Don't have time to check it out so will leave it to someone more qualified. I would say yes it's dodgy, don't give money.
Even if it isn't dodgy, your money would go to better use in a more regulated charity. |

100% 'risky free' ? and with a money back policy - now that's what I call unique for a charity.

Q. What are my obligations to the project?
A. -All beneficiaries are first of all obligated to pay a one-time subscription fee that lasts a life-time.
-all beneficiaries are obligated to refer subscriptions successfully to the project. |
Run that by me again - the beneficiaries are the ones actually paying into the fund ? to get their own money back, being rich enough to provide charity but poor enough to deserve it.
It's some weird scam set up too look like some MLM scheme, clearly to give it credibility.
That site could win an award at The Edinburgh Comedy Festival. |

Hidden Registration, short domain registration, mobile phone numbers on contact page. While none of these things are illegal, they are all red flags. I'll dig deeper as I have time.

This hit my email too. I am pretty sure Yahoo has an anti-spam policy and could probably get it killed on that alone. |

Sounds seriously Ponzi to me, and there are red flags all over it. I'd also suggest starving them of air by tipping off whatever cash handling agents (eg paypal) they use - I'm on my PDA, or I'd it myself. |

After taking another look, and getting a second opinion, I say KILL it.
I'm not going to add it to the DB as it's not needed.
It earns you a

If someone has a differing opinion, I'd be happy to hear it. |

I love how they are supposed to be " The Betta-Lyf Project " and there website is www.Betta-Fyl.com
If someone will PM me I will give them my email so they can forward the mail sent from this site. After I have that I will go about getting it killed.  |

I don't think I've ever seen the word "legitimate" used as much as it is here on this lad site. Definitely Lad Website.  |

Let's see.
I have to pay to join.
I have to recruit people in order to make money.
If this were legitimate, one or both of the above would not apply. But since both apply, this is 100% pure pyramid scam. |
