Anybody catch the particulars on the Team Disc Mobile pyramid scheme Nikko Locastro and a few others are raving about?

Am I the only one that sees right through this scam?

Is Nikko trying to con his mass following of disc golfers or did this company put him together? Maybe both?

Either way I feel bad for all involved.

Same principle as signing Tiger Woods up with AmWay.

An absolute kick in the face to disc golf community!

Hope someone puts a stop to this before it gets ugly.

I'm ashamed...

He should have quit while he was ahead. Which, sadly, was before he started down this particular path.

Homie can putt though, and THAT is saying something!

I find this pretty damn funny to be honest. But people always look for that 'easy' money, and that is what hits you first with the little commercial thing on the website. Then reality hits in and it's like oh...pyramid scheme, nice work!

My brother works for Tmobile. Screw you guys, my plan is better. I wasted too much time reading that thread. Don't make the same mistake that I did.

I did have to laugh a little bit at Nikko's response, but whatever. We can all say we "told you so" when the bottom falls out of the pyramid.

Nice. I guess Nikko should have done a little Googling beforehand.

I have an even better way to make some money. I have come across 4 discs made of gold. Each one has cryptic writings that only I can decifer with the help of my Mandos glow mini under my Chainbangers umbrella. If you send me some cash and some gongha I will tell you what the writings reveal. I can tell you this,...... you will find a lost disc in the future and people will think your cool.(Gilby,B.A.,excluded)(you too Maco Paco).EERie is'nt it? You cant argue with that kind of hard evidence. Please pay me in person or any of my Team Riverside teammates. They are already cool!!

So Bates is like the Joseph Smith of disc golf? Only he can read the gold plated discs? dum dum dum dum dum....

This actually brings up an ever better idea. I could start a new disc golf related religion. Frisbeterian has already been taken (the theory that when you die you don't go to heaven...you get stuck on a roof), so I may start the Reorganized Church of Disc Golf of Later On Dudes. Once Bates finishes interpreting the golden discs, he can write and distribute the Book of Morons.

We don't really need to meet other than to throw discs, but please deposit 10% of your pre-tax income into my LLC bank account.

Please PM me for info on how to give me your money and/or how to sign up for a new phone plan.

soooo, I was commissioned to varify the validity of these golden discs and found that they were legitimate. I still have the first 113 original pages of the translation on my desk. The odd thing is, the whole thing starts with a riddle. . .

A big moron and a little moron were walking along a cliff, the big moron fell off, why didn't the little one?

still trying to find out the answer.:shooting:

So after Bates wrote the Book of Morons, he and Gilby were walking west to distrubute the good book when they came to a narrow cliff. Bates (the big Moron) fell off. However Gilby (the little Moron) didn't....Why?

Because Gilby was "a little more on" !

Thank you all who have PM'd me and given me your 10% pre tax income. Keep them coming. As the founder of Amway said "I would rather have 1% of 100 people's income than 100% of my own".
