Paul Orberson Collectible?

I saw a few items on ebay related to Network Marketing and thought this one was quite interesting. How collectible it is I'm not sure.

is fantaz a scam ??

Fantaz ( Fantaz.com)

A new Network Marketing company in pre launch that will apparently be distributing online games, tournament games and fantasy sports via their propriety network.

On the surface it seems like a legitimate business model. Fantaz states there are
217 million gamers world wide,  and that $4 billion is spent annually on fantasy sports.
Fantaz claims their model will push dollars that normally go to the big gaming companies into your pocket.

I have been able to determine the following:

  • The Sept 1 launch has been delayed due to technical issues with the integration of
    some of software components.
  • A new launch date has not been given.
  • They will soon start inviting ZBO's to a private beta to get a more real time / real world testing of the system. They will remedy any problems and invite a much larger group of ZBO's in and repeat the process until they feel they are ready to go for a real public beta and then for a full blown launch.
  •  In less than three weeks there have been almost 7,300 pre-registrations.

All in all it looks like Fantaz a great opportunity for anyone looking to strike it rich in online gaming. The company has signed on a big list of celebrities and according to the last company email has spent 4 yrs and millions of dollars to bring it to where it is today.  Unlike a lot of pre-launch  MLMs whose domain names are registered for 1 yrm  fantaz.com does not expire until 2014. It would be nice if the company would add a privacy statement and earnings disclaimer to Fantaz.com. Also I can find nothing on the people backing and financing Fantaz, can't some of the founders put a bio up on the site?
