The whole "make money for your shul" business, while it may not be an actual scam, is along the same lines and it doesn't strike me as proper either.... Take an unsuspecting guys personal info and mess around with it all in the name of Tzedakah?!

Our generation is easy prey. We're all looking to make it without puting in the work.

Sadly this shortcut mentality seeems to be coming from those we entrust and pay to teach our children.

The famous thief behind this scam (http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=3910.0) should be kicked out of our community and the RY involved should be named and shamed.

This should be taught in First grade in every school before ABC: In every scam the first few mil is paid, everyone after that is on Tomchei Shabbos.

the yeshivas that are involved are not no name, here today gone tomorrow lakewood popups.
They are larger established institutions run by administrators and office managers that have way more experience than anyone here with these things.they have been there done that with these things countless times.
Theres nothing you can effectively do about it.

While this post serves as a deterrent to those who see this thread, there needs to be a public outcry making them stop signing more innocent/clueless people up to this immediately!!!

+100

I find that lately the Yeshivas are putting the boys to work. Even if in a totally legitimate way I.e. fundraising, cooking, cleaning etc. The parents are sending their children to yeshiva to learn Torah. They are paying tuition to a Yeshiva to look after them. Besides for Purim it is unacceptable to send boys out collecting. Maybe allow them to put up a cholent for Friday night, but to cook a whole Shabbos??

How much more so to involve them in something like this. What does it teach them? How will the Rosh explain when everyone is in 25K debt due to this scam?

Why is it ok on Purim?

Watch them change their minds when people start calling and telling them off.

They plan on making money through a 3D tablet which is a market first?
Someone should tell amazon cause they thinks they have one already. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DJY9PMI?pc_redir=1396985652&robot_redir=1
..... Not that this didn't stink like rotten fish already.
Also if your trying to make it look like they have sales so their stock prices go up you're manipulating the market which is a Federal offense.
