Have any of you been a part of one of these laptop matrices? You know the ones where you sign up for 25 bucks and wait. if so, which one did you enter? And how long did it take to get your laptop (if it came at all)? I keep seeing them everywhere and I'm just wondering if they're legit.

I've never ben a part of one of these, but they're all over the net. they're not really pyramid scams, but that's how they look.
here's one of them. Don't worry, it's not a referal link or anything.

How does the Laptop Matrix work?

Everyone promotes just one page (this one) to help the matrix fill at net speed. Each new entry is automatically placed in the next position below it. When you are the top person and cycle (meaning 70 people have purchased the Laptop Intro Pkg., the top person cycles and you move up) we will ship your new laptop computer. Thats it! You just got a brand new laptop computer for free, just for purchasing the Laptop Intro Pkg.! At the rate this package is selling, it should take 1 to 2 days for the top person in the list to cycle!..............................


.........................Not only do you get a FREE entry into the Laptop Matrix where you can receive a FREE laptop computer, we also have an incredible income opportunity. You will have the opportunity to join our three tier affiliate program with real time stats and commission tracking! You get paid for every person you introduce to the Laptop Matrix. You will also be paid for every person they introduce, to three levels deep! What more could you ask for? A new laptop computer for purchasing our package, and great way to earn money! All this for just $25 !!!



Sounds like a pyramid scheme to me.
