So I dunno if any of you have heard of this but today I found a competition that claims the person who posts the most would win 10 million

I was just wondering how you guys felt about this? Do you think it's worth a go, or do you think it's a scam?
Thanks for your opinions everyone!

Hi Drasnian! I am not a member of this forum and I am not sure if it's a scam. I'm just wondering if you read the whole competition rules and prizes. It states that the 2nd prize winner will receive $100 US dollars but as for the first prize, contest rule states the following:
"Now for the 10 Million Cash prize! The first prize is in fact 10 million real money but we are just not revealing what currency it will be in just yet. Don't get your hopes up too high or be terribly disappointed at the competition end - we will admit that when this ten million is converted into US dollars, British pounds, Euros or many other currencies you won't even come close to being a millionaire. However, this prize is still big and much bigger than the average prize offered in other posting competitions.
We will reveal the currency of the first prize around half way through the competition."
Hope this clears up things.

Ok, that makes sense, so lets say that the prize is in some lower value currency, then in US dollars it would only come mabey $1000, so that is quite realistc then.
I do not think that there is posint of scamming forum mebers as everyone would just leave then and the forum is going to be finised. As they said, the prize will be reveald soon so if it still come like $100k the I would be sceptical too.

Does any of you actually think that somebody would give you 10 MILLION for posting!? Of course it's a scam. It's not worth it at all. Instead of wasting your time doing something that is obviously ridiculous you can try to find something from which you can actually make some money.

Why the first winner and the second were so far amount? The first got 10 million and the second only just got $100!!?? I doubt about the competition that the forum gave.

I think you're right, why would the first prize be so much more? Surely they would have a slightly smaller prize for 1st, and bigger prizes for second and third (which hasn't even been announced) else people would think "i'm only coming second/third" it's not worth it.
