Looks like something I'd give a whirl if I were lower rated. Can't hurt!

It sounds like many a scam out there.  Stay clear.  I see them every day in my line of work.

$1 for a week doesn't sound very scam like to me. Sure I may ask for credentials prior to purchase but $1 seems like a cheap gamble to me.

There are many scams involving small amounts of money.  What is the risk?  Only a small amount of money to the individual.  But the scammer makes thousands and millions, depending on how many people he scams.  Credentials only make a scam more profitable for the scammer.

Your profile shows a name of Kevin Jaine.

You state your name is Glenn.

You say you have a FIDE rating. 

What is you name and/or FIDE number so we can verify your rating.

If 30% will be given to the development of chess infrastructure in African countries, our friend anticipates making a lot of money it seems to me.

I am thinking of starting a scam whereby I will give 31% (!) to the development of chess infrastructure amongst the penguins in Antartica (I chose Antartica as against the Artic because it is closer to home and therefore there will be less travelling costs).

Hmmm, joined on Feb 4, 2016.

Played 3 games, won all three with 

0 innaccuracies

0 mistakes

0 blunders

That is absolutely incredible.

I mean for a FIDE rating under 2000.

Plus the fact that there are no penguins in the Arctic, so if you were going to donate to them it would expose your scam immediately. 

Good choice ....

Well, maybe, that 30% I can give it to ya instead to the unpriviledged, should I?

Avatar of eastyz

TechnoBird, it sounds like the 30% would be safer in my hands than yours.  If a friend had to pay for your subscription, maybe you are short of a buck or two.
