Holey moley, that was a fun rabbit hole
During the dot com bubble of 2000-2001, there was a company where you could buy things online for 10x the normal retail price, but they'd send you a rebate of the price after a couple of months. (And you would keep whatever you'd bought)
Much like every other time someone claimed to make all their profit off of the "float", it turned out to be a big scam
