Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

You have to be the stupidest person in the world to fall for this $#%*.  This is EXACTLY why no one should take your advice seriously.  Did you happen to read the details of this so-called offer?  As I said, they don't want your opinion, they will never ask you questions about the Dyson.  They only want your money.  Here is a piece taken directly from the details page outlining "Sponsor Offers":

Please note Sponsor offers may require you to sample and/or purchase products of interest and/or take other actions such as applying for or obtaining a loan or extension of credit (including credit cards), transferring a balance, or similar steps. In order to remain eligible for your gift, you must complete all of the sponsor offers that require you to sample and purchase products of interest within 180 days of signing up for our service.

Another excerpt from the so-called "offer":

Please note that once you have clicked to and started and/or completed a transaction with a sponsor, you are subject to that sponsor's terms, conditions and rules on cancellation, and such transactions cannot be canceled by or through the brandnamerewards.com or by failure to complete the requisite number of sponsor offers specified above.

And yet another:

In some cases an additional step by you is required to satisfy the Sponsor's qualifications. By way of example that is not intended to be exhaustive, all-inclusive, or otherwise limiting, a Sponsor offer for, for example, credit card or similar service may require you to use the credit card to make a purchase, take a cash advance, or transfer a balance, to satisfy the Sponsor's qualifications. The time it takes you to complete this step is in your control and not that of the Service or the Sponsor, and the qualification time for such Sponsor offers accordingly will vary based in part on the time you take to satisfy this requirement.

Finally, the coup de gras:

Prizes subject to availability, and quantities may be limited. brandnamerewards.com reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value. brandnamerewards.com reserves the right to cancel any offer at any time for any reason, with or without notice.

That says it all.  ANYONE who could be considered an "expert" would be able to tell that this SCREAMS "scam".  There is no other way to say it.  You will NEVER receive the machine, it won't happen, ever, and even if it did you would probably pay over $1000 in "Sponsor Offers" to get it. 

As I said before, James does NOT want your opinion.  HIS opinion is the only one that matters, he does NOT want one of a so-called "expert".  He has gotten along without you for 25 years, I don't think he will have a problem keeping it that way for a few more

There's good money for the promoter, by getting people to perform these actions. For example, taking out a loan might pay them $100 in commision.
Clearly, they need to get you to do a number of these, before they can even consider coming good on their free gift offer - although they'd likely collect their returns and scam you off with something of perceived high value. The Dyson is the bait, it's inclusion is purely a highly recognized, desirable object - nothing more.

Carmine certainly fits the description.

If James never made another dollar he would be light years ahead of Carmine in knowledge and $.  He already made a monkey out of Carmine so he might become a zoo keeper if he retires from the vacuum business.

Well Guys:

Well you are pretty sure of yourselves and your statements.  You said some very unkind and vile things about me and the company in question.  The company may have some objections about your posts.   It may disagree with your interpretations and explanations of the terms of the agreement and say you are not qualified to give them authoritatively here on behalf of the company.

Carmine, did you happen to Google the company in question?  I did, and here is the first result that came up for a search of "brandnamerewards.com LLC":

Let me quote directly from the user-submitted report:

"Only losers and suckers will sign up to give them access to their email address to receive tons of spams from con artists and scammers from across the globe."

And you thought they ACTUALLY wanted your opinion?  What a riot.

That user sounds exactly like you.  Would it be you?

motorhead:  aka Tom Gasko, dualcyclone:

I was wondering if perhaps the full moon last night brought out your venomous invective.  But I thought to myself: NO.  That's not the reason.  The reason is no matter how you try to deny yourself with new names and swearing off your true identity, your posts and ego give you away.  As they did here.

Sooner or later you revert back to the true Tom Gasko form.  Just so happens this time it coincides with a full moon. 

Thanks Tom.

Your epitaph should read:  A coward to the end.

Carmine, again you are wrong.  I do not post from the same computer Tom uses, nor do I live in the state of Missouri.  Nice try though.

Out of everyone I have met who is interested in vacuum cleaners, however, Tom has by far the widest range of knowledge, from old to new.  One of the other things I like about Tom is his biting sense of humor.  I hope a little bit of it has rubbed off on me

Hello Tom Gasko:

Thanks for clearing up the mystery of your friend and mentor that you most admire.  Why am I not the least bit suprised that they are both you!  

PS:  You might want to go back to a post here in March where you said you didn't even know who Tom, the dyson obcessed fanatic, is.   Since then you've had an epiphany and found yourself again.
