i read nothing there saying it is illegal, just to beware that it might be a scam, but i thought that enough people around here know us to know its not, its not like we just made accounts yesterday and asked people to spend money
It doesn't matter... have you ever heard the phrase "No Purchase Necessary"???
If you are going to do things your way, then you need to provide an alternate means of entry for the people who do not want to buy something... otherwise it IS illegal!!
