Yeah, anyone spot the scam here!!???

£100 sign up fee with a max of 50 litres a week. Not to mention the guy has a previous fraud conviction.

Let me see now, he has 900 members netting him £90,000, and now national news coverage how many more will he have?. At what point do you think his company will wind up with all the cash missing??

Yes, but we know how these schemes work don't we.

Initially the rate of new joiners is low, but large enough so that the new subscriptions pay for the discounted fuel that original members are getting. Then you get critical mass from advertising, and a large number of people join. You take their subscriptions and run

Time will tell...

Fools gold if he has 900 signed up they must fill up in secret. I ain't seen more than 7 cars filling up, in what two or three months trading. A don't think Shell will get worried. He uses a 20 ton tanker truck to collect the fuel, aiming big.

Hello...!!!

This guy has been done for fraud, he has not fitted the said device to any of the member cars, nor can he show C4 his device. Now call me cynical but I think it won't be long til he gets dun for fraud for a second time. And he obviously isn't the shiny shilling he claims to be either.

But hang on..... Perhaps I could cash in on this also.....

Yeah. What I'm gonna do is go and rip off a lot of people, I'll tell them I have invented an amazing machine that can make flowers, trees, and furry little animals. I'll take all their money then run away on my unicorn to the moon. And then last of all (now this is the best bit of my plan), I'll print posters with my name, address, photo, a decription of what I have done and stick them on walls everywhere, nationwide. I'm a genius.
