yup ... I'm staying as far away from him as possible.. will find his blurb and post it for when i find it...

 

[Bruce B]

I didn't send it to you, but over on RB's forum, everyone seems a little skeptical of the claims being made. I've heard of no teams from there who have even looked into the organization.

Just what I've seen.

 

[Captain Morgan]

Bob, what does that mean? I really haven't even read it yet, is this a money raising scheme or something?

 

[Bobberqer]

lol just tried to email ya Cappy and it wont go for some reason ...damn , and I hate typing

 

[Nick Prochilo]

It claims "all across the USA", yeah right! Seems like a scam to me!

 

[Bobberqer]

well.. last November(?) he claimed they were doing/planning/organizing, or what ever the term was, over 50 events .... if my memory serves me correct.... haven't seen one yet ... has any one else??

 

[Captain Morgan]

Yeah, looking very much like a scam, or at least someone who had big plans and little or no ability to achieve them. I ain't touching it till someone else goes through it and proves it legit.

Here's the " dialogue" from the AABQL postin over there... he asnwers as Texbbq... a bit long, but some funny stuff... would be nice, but a bit far fetched in my opinion, to pull off

 

[BrooklynQ]

I'm still skeptical, but it seems like they're making progress. The league is to far away for me to reallly check out, but it looks like it's taking root.

There's one contest listed on the city of Sashe's website. It's being held on April 7 and 8th. Now I don't know where Sashe is, but it looks legit.

Here's the link...

and he/she listed a bunch of other events that look real now. Thye're mostly in Texas

How do you have a "Amature BBQ League" with a payoff at the end, doesn't that make a Pro league?

 

[Pigs On The Wing BBQ]

Good point Jim, Sound's a little odd to me.

 

[Nick Prochilo]

Unless they don't pay....just take the money and run!

 

[Captain Morgan]

so no one else got the email?

He just targeted me?

Does he think I'm gullible or stupid or something?

Does he think I'm not in touch with the BBQ community?

Is there a charge for canceling a credit card payment?

[YardBurner]

What piqued my "alarm mode" was this.

"Some Of The Locations And Dates Are Only There For Space Fill-in At This Time."

What the heck does that mean?? ...I've padded my responses to seem more legitimate??
