Default Team Disc Mobile
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!

here is the thread with most info. Nikko responded in there somewhere... Alas, it was not the most carefully crafted response

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.

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!!
