In a word, NO!

There's a scam program called silver snowball.

By becoming a member, you can advertise to get new members under you. For every two they buy, you get one. Do you know anyone who will sell silver three for the price of two? Not unless they have a heckuva markup.

Most of these pyramid scemes investment programs feature a product that's either of questionable value or grossly overpriced, and this is no different.

Each month you buy a half ounce privately minted Morgan dollar silver round for $49.50+$6 shipping. This entitles you to a website where you can offer a similar deal to other suckers silver investors.

For every two you sell, you get one free.

All you gotta do is sell bullion for $111 an ounce, and for every ounce you sell, you get $17 worth.

I have a better plan, for every ASE you pay me $111 for, I'll give you a second one free! Same amount of silver, much better product, and more than double the bonus.

Operators are standing by...

The very first thing I bought in regrards to PM's before the first gram of metal, was a 1 dollar ebay deal very similar, and it was for a website which just had numbers, no products, call for info. The whole pyramid theme mixed in, via sign up like two members and your membership is payed for. And only 200 bucks a year to be a member, and be able to buy silver or gold at a discount, lol....

I said oh well, 1 dollar wasted. Now I am just gonna do some searches on ebay and google for PM dealers, and found an entire world of people willing to sell you a good product, some times at a good price, and no charge to be allowed to buy it, like a PM Sams club, rof....

There are certain words they use that give away their schemes. The word snowball should've been the first clue. Anyone with a working mind can see past this stuff, but I'm glad someone at least puts it out there (biggfredd) for those who didn't know. The scheme works because you do receive physical stuff, but as mentioned at outrageous markups.
Rest in Peace
