Anyone got $50k just lying around?

I'm hesitant to post this in the "motorsports" forum... but what the hell. Did anyone else get this email?

Dear Potential Participant:

Yes, you read the subject line correctly. I was approached by a major national cable TV channel to develop a reality TV show involving amateur drivers racing on closed public roads.

What I did was create the coolest program you can imagine. Some of the details:

You get to race a Ferrari, a Porsche, and an AMG on a minimum of 6 and maximum of 13 closed scenic public roads throughout the USA. Think the Pacific Coast Highway, the Kancamagus Highway, and the Devil’s Tail.

We are accepting 50 participants and 10 alternates. Each participant will have three runs in each vehicle on the closed designated course over a two day period. You will have a chance to run your own vehicle in a time trial as well, though it will not count towards the race but the best weighted times will receive additional prizes.

If you WIN you get to pick a Ferrari, a Porsche, and an AMG to take HOME! Second prize is two cars, third is one.

Yes, there is a $50k participant fee which is cheap, less than $1k per race, and if you break one of our cars you don’t have to buy it.

If you are interested email me back as soon as possible, I have more than 25 people who are seriously considering participation and we are just now making this public. I will email you a detailed package including an overview and a contract.

Once you receive the package I need your serious expression of interest, i.e. email me to say I am in, by March 4th then I need your executed contract and check no later than March 16th.

Please email me back if you would like to receive the package.

Seems a little fishy. If they were really putting together a TV show for a major network, they wouldn't need to sell seats for $50k each. But that would make for one hell of a fun summer!

I got it. Sounds interesting until you get to the $50K.

$50K for the 1:50 chance of winning what, maybe 200K worth of cars...

So, they get $2.5Million in entry fees and give away maybe $.5 Million of it in cars, likely the used ones from the event under teh pretext of a TV show...

What a Scam.u

I got it on my SECCS email address, not my RenoSCCA address. And it was capitalized oddly... "SPerry@".... weird.

[MattR]

Yeah, I got it directly to my yahoo account.

I didn't get one




guess I'm gonna have to find something else to do with this 50k burning a hole in my pocket
