I saw this site called work4lr several times on traffic exchanges and it caught my attention because you are able to join by simply paying the member number 1 only $2, and you are on your way to earning possibly thousands of dollars.
The way the system goes is quite unique, and when you look at one member's referral link there would be 5 names in that link, and the member in number one is the person you are going to pay your membership of $2 to be paid to his liberty reserve account directly. Now what happens is that the moment you do that, you will be immediately given your own referral link and your name would start on number 5 and that person you paid on number 1 would be removed from the list, and the one on number two would now be on number 1, on number 3 would be on number 2, on number 4 would be on number 3, and the number 5 would be on number 4, and of course you are now the new person on number 5.
Now if you start spreading your referral link with your name on number 5 and someone pays the person on number 1 on your list, when he gets his referral url, your name would now be on number 4. And on and on it goes and when your name reaches number 1, it is expected that there would already be around hundreds or thousands of members ready to pay you $2 to your liberty reserve account. In my
opinion, it seems like a great long term system with a very low joining fee that could allow you to earn even thousands of dollars if promoted vigorously.
So my question is first of all, did you understand how the system works as I explained it or it's still not clear? lol
Second, if you know about this type of system, what do you think about it and is it worth prmoting? Did you or your friends have ny experience with this type of system, and how did it work for you or them?

This system is by no means 'unique' and in most countries it is illegal. It is known by various names - chain letter, Round Robin and Pyramid scheme. It predates the Internet by many years and is nearly as old as the postal system.
Just do a search for 'chain letter', 'round robin money making' or 'pyramid scheme' and you will find many warnings and explanations of why it is bound to fail and why it is actually illegal in many countries.

Even though the system is illegal, many companies bring their schemes just within the margins of legality by saying that you are parting with your money for 'goods or services'. This can hardly be the case with the one you outline above because you are making your payment direct to an individual (and expecting payments from other individuals).

People seem to be calling it "MLM" but it clearly is NOT. There is no "marketing" (of a product) involved and I cannot see any material difference between it and the old, old 'round robin' letter scheme (which is illegal, as I have said, in many countries, including the US, Canada, the UK &c).
It puzzles me that the site owner has not hidden his details and that he claims to be based in Pomona, CA. I can only assume that the site is very new and that, eventually (= quite soon), the law will catch up with it and close it down.
I see that members are claiming that they have been paid (which is to be expected, since the money goes direct from one individual to another) but please note that that DOESN'T make a site "legitimate"!

I absolutely agree with what you have just said. A paying site could actually be an illegitimate or illegal site altogether, and because they don't have any products I would guess they could end up closing down someday or maybe soon.
I saw one that I think is from the US which is called superguardian which is very similar to work4lr and I believe you needed to pay $22 one-time, $11 on member # 1 and $11 also on member #5 and I don't know yet if they do have a product they promote, so for now I don't know if they are legal or not.
I think the site is http://www.superguardian.biz, if Im not mistaken.

Any sites that ask for money is either scam or is not going to work. I would suggest you not to try it, but it is on your own. Make a research and let me on either it works. Good luck on it if you are going to try.
