I was watching tbs at night because the british chick is damn hot. it's called midnightmoneymadness and the hosts give cluse to answers and people telephone in at .99cents a phonecall. Just tonight the answer was soooo easy. I was fixing on calling in but I was hesitant to think it was some kind of scam.

Someone called and got my answer, apparently the hosts said they would send the person a check for $500! WTF??! What's the trick behind this?

I just wanted to add, the chick is really really smokin' hot.

They have these stuff here too.
Those girls are allways friggin' hot!!! There is one, she is the best, she can talk so good (and look good) that makes you wanna call her.

They say it's not a scam, just so many people call that the $500 is actually a little bit of what came in that evening.

i think that when you call your telephone gets drawn out of straws. and the chances are little until they put you on the air. maybe that's how they make their money by charging everyone .99c per call. but still yesterday i don't think anyone called as they were running out of time really fast without any calls.

and the chick. i just love her british accent!! it's so hot!

it was a fill in the blank and the answer was "ass". it was sooo obvious for like 5 minutes. i don't fall for scams but when that person won $500 i was kind of bewildered.

The answers are way to easy, thats the trick, so they know they will get shat loads of callers.
I fell for this once(just the once), it was so easy even my 10year old son knew it, i rang and did'nt get picked, the cost of the call was £1 they still charge for the call even if you don't get through , i tried loads of times as the prize kept going up, in the end i gave up, a few weeks later the phone bill came through when i saw how much it was i told myself never again then hit my head on the wall to bang some sense into it.
Yes, there will be winners but how many people ring??? the chance of being picked is way to slim, you just keep thinking, its my turn , its my turn, this time, next thing you know you've rang like a hundered times.
Check your phone bill when it comes.

This is driving me nuts. Well two things are completely driving me insane. 1) the answer was so easy, one in 10 chance isn't too bad but sometimes it seems like they don't even get any calls. so that's the big scheme they keep you waiting...

2) the girl wore a skirt! damnit that's soooo hot!!!! I can't stand it i had to turn the t.v. off because that kind of hotnesszz is too explicit for me. laugh.gif
