I heard about this years ago.. could be real, but you never know. Thing is these kind of things usually sound better than they really are. They tend to give you best case scenario. This one guy I know is on the internet all the time. He signed up for something like this, made a little bit of money, but not really anything to brag about. However, his point was that it was money for him just sitting online, which he would have been doing anyway. So looking at it that way, not a bad idea.

Personally... I wouldn't bother. This kind of thing is not for me.

I wouldn't mind seeing a test. I should also mention that site keeps changing it's address. Not too long ago it was www.crochealer.info and another time www.crocistheking.info

" The common cold is a thing of the past, even serious infectious diseases such as Cancer, HIV/AIDS, SARS and many other life threatening diseases can be helped by the miracle healing powers of the Antidote."

Wow....what amazing claims, if that were true they would be 10x richer than the company of Microsoft. These people should be ashamed of themselves, seriously. Btw, nice picture of a lady using 10 year old computers =/

Potato Slayer, I keep thinkng your avatar is a baby chick for a second.

... The initial research was carried out over several years ago by the BBC.
'Cause the BBC does lots of cool sciencey-type-stuff, right?

The Antidote acts as an additive for your body's immune system.
We ground up some dried crocodile chunks.

It will fight and protect your body from all virus and bacteria activated infections.
No one's sure exactly what it does but I've never seen a crocodile get sick.

The Antidote may be taken safely by children and adults even if on current medication.
It tastes like chicken too!!

The Peptide is a Protein Extract from Crocodylus Porusus,
Using fancy-sounding words makes us seem respectable.

the largest living crocodile in existence and the most ancient living species on earth (over 20 million years old).
Which means, of course, that it'll cure everything from the common cold to herpes.

A Peptide is a Natural Protein made up of Amino Acids strung together that destroy powerful viruses and bacteria by penetrating their membranes.
At least, I think that's what Dr. Phil said.

The Antidote have simply taken the crocodile's best weapon against infection and made it functional for human application.
By now the placebo effect should have kicked in.

In another time and place guys like this would be selling snake oil.

Uh oh... StudioTraffic??! Crap that one is a scam. A really big one.

How does this kind of scheme work? It works by paying out interest/money based on the amount of money the people in your downline put in. Besides, there's the tax evasion thing that you'd want to be concerned about. And it won't be long before the US gov. starts sniffing around at it.

If you are curious about what a ponzi scam is(ST is considered one), read this:

Anyways, there are really legitimate schemes with downlines and such but you'd do well to research about them(like checking with your local watchdog agencies and searching on the internet) before jumping into it. Many of these, though, are through investments and stuff and like it or not, everything has risks. Please, don't throw all your life savings into any kind of scheme, even if it is legitimate. -__-;; Often, many of the factors which cause a scheme to fail are beyond anyone's control.

There is a forum I know of that you can check about stuff like this and it's here: http://www.getpaidforum.com/forums/
