yeah so I just got a phone call from Sportcompactpro.com about an application that I filled out for a sponsorship about 2 months ago. "Jack" told me that I had gotten preapproved yesterday for a sponsorship. But that I had to verify my credit card number with him so that I could pay $79 for the application to go through to his legal department and have them send it out to me. Now I dunno if I was on the edge of a scam or if I just passed up something that I will regret in the future...He told me he would be comin through South Carolina in November or December to shoot an import DVD. He also said that I would receive the full $79 that I paid and get $10 for every minute that I was in the DVD. Oh and somethin about having a full sponsorship after a year. This is kinda pissin me off though. What do you guys think about this s***?

I looked into one place that offered to find sponsorships for you. I ended up canceling because it seemed like a big scam to me. Those are not even real sponsorships if you think about it.
I've gone about sponsorships the old fashion way and been the most effective. I have a stand-alone website that's on a CD that I mail to different companies with a letter describing what I do and what I can do. All professional grade stuff. I'd post it here for you to look at, but there's a lot of personal information on it. :-/
Protegegarage should sponsor me one of those in-car PC's.

bummer! If this indeed is a scam, I cant beleive that SPORTCOMPACTPRO actually does that. OMG, lol, they must be desparate!
Plus, its a really smart idea to NOT to give out your personal info including Credit card #s OVER the phone. When I hear somebody asking me to verify my id with SS# or CC#, I say, "ok here it is.........oh Im really sorry but can you hold on for 2 seconds? I got somebody on the 2nd line" and put them on MUTE for like 3-5 minutes! haha its funny that I can hear them saying stuff, and cursing in some rare cases!!! (rofl) then once I see that they are to the point of being pissed off, I switch back to them and say, ok here is my CC#......CLICK! haha hang up on their asses. I hate telemarketers and scammers!

Why do you say that? That's how most mail-order orders are done.
