The only reason people say YOU can get free money is because they want you to buy something.

5 words: "got a half dollar box?"

But if you look at the images of falling coins on that page - I see the arms of Ukraine - do the five magic words also transform your US dollars into hryven?

Google the name of the firm, and search his name, too. He's a confirmed scam artist.
Why would the testimonial people repeat his buzzwords if this was a real "loophole"? It's a Ponzi scheme that preys on your greed. I actually sat through the whole thing so I can learn more about warning signs so that I can better detect these scams. There are so many signals it's not even worth noting them all here. Even just trying to close the window to exit the site has some sort of bug that you have to open up Task Manager just to End Task safely.

Stansberry Associates has been running that crap in their "investment research" newsletter and advertising it all over the place on the internet forever. It's been
beaten to death in threads here and probably in every other forum as well. Evidently they finally ramped their advertising up to also include TV and radio.

Many have felt for a long time that they should be prosecuted for being a source of environmentally detrimental noise pollution.

They do however share one thing with all the other self-styled "observers" and "analysts" of market conditions and all the other purveyors of financial and market
insight and guidance -- they're ALL full of gas which they never, EVER stop leaking out. Google up "investment advisor" and be ready to really wish you hadn't.

Hahaha, that got me thinking what those 5 words might be, so I started a post on my blog asking people to make up their 5 words.... in honor of them!

If you want to read the whole thing, you can check it out here.

Some ideas....
1. "Can I have a box?"
2. "Do you have half dollars?"
3. "How many rolls is that?"

I like the free advertising that their little scam provides. ;-) The more people looking the better!

The testimonials sound like they were done in Microsoft Sam or another computer program.

Hmmm. I think it would have been funnier if they had used this S.A.M.

Here's a suggestion by one of the guys at my coin club:

"Do you have any silver?"

It actually works sometimes, too!

BTW, I actually have been fortunate enough to avoid those ads so far. Out of curiosity, how much are they charging for their "five magic words"?

Five words to walk out of a bank with a handful of cash?

"This is a stick up"!

Which is exactly what this scam is.
