Lockerz - WHY IT KEEPS GETTING DELETED

I've been noticing/removing a lot of messages recently about Lockerz and invites. I hate to say this, but a lot of site I've been looking at have been saying it's just spam, it doesn't work outside of the US, etc. If this is untrue, please, someone set me right. Because if this isn't the case, I'll gladly ban myself for the thread removal. However, I haven't banned anyone yet over it... I'm just trying to get some more info on it now.

Long story short:
  • Is it USA only?
  • Is it spam?
  • Is it legit?
  • Can I have some proof on all of these?

Thanks.

Also, WoT, user rating, there is a LOT of red on it about spam and being a scam, hence my asking/ removing.

I was just about to ask for an invitation from Whisker. I don't know much about Lockerz. I got to know about it from Swarup...he did mention about it to me while were on IM. He didn't gave me any invite though.

Usually I am rather skeptical of such sites (giving free stuffs, etc.) but Lockerz might be for real...take note i said 'might'..not yet confirmed.

By the way, WOT gives Lockerz a Green rating. See it here: http://www.mywot.com/scorecard/lockerz.com

Read some of the comments:

Quote:
Despite the unrelated spam people use to get refs for this site, This site is Legit.
I have gotten stuff from it and i can prove it.
I have never gotten any spam mail from them or advertisers.

Wtf Are you idiots? this is 100% Legit. they will make money by selling items later
CO of Amazon.com says all
I think there might be spam. Best bet is to use a spare/secondary email account or a disposable inbox service. Better safe than sorry.

It just seems way too good to be true, even with the positive comments.

"I think there might be spam. Best bet is to use a spare/secondary email account or a disposable inbox service. Better safe than sorry."
-- I speak only for the above point ie, it int true because I create my A/c on August & till from August I only received only 5 email & they send mail only for new announced any new rule. & I also mention that after create my A/c i cannot get any fake mail from any ID.

For Other Question Asked by Hellnoire I informed you later.

Greetings Lockerz Members Worldwide


Your team at Lockerz.com is excited about our first global PTZ Place event coming this Thursday, October 15.

As many of your know, Lockerz is still in its beta stage and will be even after we launch our site’s full functionality. Every day, with your help and input, Lockerz becomes a better site, a better community and a bit more worthy to earn the right to be your home page one day in the future.

We’ve worked very hard on the following rules and logistics to help ensure that 10/15 is as fair and inclusive as possible. As much as we’d love to satisfy every wish for every member, we can’t -- but we can endeavor to be as fair and responsive as humanly possible.

We have also struggled with the reality that there are a portion of Lockerz members who, despite our best efforts and granting of second chances, continue to try and cheat or disrespect the integrity of the Lockerz community and its amazing members. We, at Lockerz, feel a strong sense of responsibility and passion for protecting the interests and rights of our more than one million legit members, worldwide in 185 countries.

As a result, we’ve made some new rules for this posting to ensure that we can quickly shut down and manage those who do not participate with a sense of fair play nor belief in what we are trying to build together.

There is no perfect system yet and we recognize that some may be disappointed ultimately despite our best efforts. Rest assured that we will continue to solicit your feedback and learn from both your good ideas and our own missteps.

With that spirit in mind, here are new rules and details for 10/15 (which will actually bleed into 10/16 to allow for four separate time postings).

Prizes:

1) We have hundreds of thousands of prizes for this redemption in total but the most popular electronics and other gifts will run out again quickly and need to be restocked for the next PTZ Place posting in November (date to be announced soon).

2) We are restocking many of the prizes posted on 9/15/09, and we won’t raise PTZ levels on these prizes.

3) We have also added new prizes, many of which were suggested by Lockerz members.

4) Absolutely no exchanges, no returns, no cancellations and no PTZ refunds on prizes. Please select very carefully.

5) To allow as many members as possible to redeem:
a. Members are only allowed one (1) item over 50 PTZ per day. If you violate this rule, your order will be cancelled and your account will be subject to cancellation.
b. No redemption of two of the same items on the same day.

6) We are working on a longer-term strategy for European PAL electronics rules that we hope to have secured in a few weeks. For now, we are offering Amazon.com girt cards for global members to purchase their favorite electronics and other items on amazon.co.uk, amazon.co.fr or other global Amazon sites.



Shipping

1) Please allow 2-3 weeks for shipping in USA. Please allow 3 weeks for shipping outside of USA.

2) All items other than iSkins and t-shirts will be sent via UPS. A tracking number will be provided for all UPS shipments.


International shipping

1) Lockerz is now shipping globally to every country in its dropdown menu!!

2) All US and Global shipping is still FREE for this event!

3) Every package sent internationally will be labeled as a “gift.” This should eliminate or significantly reduce any import duty or tax in the vast majority of countries. However, Lockerz cannot be responsible for paying any further fees or tariffs imposed by a recipient’s local government.

4) For our Brazil members, your country does not allow “gifts” to be shipped without fees or tariffs. We are in the process of creating an alternative shipping and distribution strategy for you to solve this problem. This will delay your order by up to 21 days but it should be worth it!

Important other rules and info:

1) We have added two catpchas (security codes) to the redemption process to help protect security of the transaction as well as ensure accuracy of typing.

2) All addresses must be entered accurately and be consistent with member’s profile address. Failure to do so will result in cancellation of the prize order.

3) No exchanges, returns, no cancellations or PTZ refund on prizes.

4) Use of any bots, cheats or fraud will result in immediate order AND membership cancellation.

5) Due to our growth and how busy we’ve been with building new functionality for our existing site, we are not launching the full Lockerz website for a few weeks. Please stay tuned for more details.

Hi hellnoire

For Spam I already told that it is not Spam
For Is it legit? & Can I have some proof on all of these? I can not told anything.

But in my opinion You does the write work

to remove this thread bcoz those user gives invitation for there profit.If you signup with this link they earned point & in lockerz point = money.In this forum we come to share free offer & knowledge not make money in any way.
If you really want invitation you Google it & you find web site gives Lockerz invitation.
