The FunkyClock Scam

You may have seen tabloid articles about people picking up the new Iphone 6 for £1, this of course is another scam. It is not as easy as paying £1 and then the next day you receive an Iphone 6, the website works in that everyone pays £1 to be entered into a draw for the phone, so not everyone will get an Iphone. Someone will get the prize because companies cannot advertise that you could win something and then not actually let anyone win, especially if you have to pay to be entered. So how can Funkyclock afford to give away the Iphone 6 for a pound? Its simple, by the time everyone has entered themselves into the draw and payed a pound Funkyclock is quids in and can afford to buy the phone that they will eventually give away about ten times over. So one person will receive an Iphone six (or a cheap knockoff) but everyone else is a pound down. But its not like you can sue because when you pay the pound it makes you agree to terms and conditions, which if you read carefully states that not everyone will get a phone. So at the end of it all Funkclock is thousands of pounds richer and thousands of people are a pound poorer. It all makes perfect sense and technically they havent lied. They said get the iphone six for a pound which isnt actually lying as its basically saying you could get the iphone six for a pound not you definitely will.
