My Grandfather's nephew (i think that makes him my 1st cousin, once removed?) owns his own island. I'm pretty sure he's not a billionare. tho, if he is, maybe he'll remember me in his will, even tho i've never met him. My fiance and I want to go there for our honeymoon. www.nikoi.com It looks like paradise to me.

Does anyone else think it's kind of kooky that they're asking for a BIN?

Ok a) Why the heck would you buy an island online? b) I've never ever even heard of a Billionaire's ID Number c) It looks like a fake promotion. d) It's Sprint, they want you to buy phones not islands.

I'm leaning towards it might be an arg for the simple reason that if you choose to 'buy the phone and island' it keeps you on that site but if you say 'I just want the phone' they send you to the sprint site.

Yeah I'm going to see if I can get a BIN...it's rather ARG/promo-y...def not real.

I hate the idea that this might just be some really stupid ad, which would completely piss me off.

wait...your private island broker doesn't even have a name? I mean, would a billionaire just buy an island from someone company that doesn't even allow their reps to put their names in their emails? And come on, i'm supposedly a billionair, how about a little billionaire service here....like a free first class ticket to see my island.

I can tell you this is no joke and no ARG. Our Sprint business rep confirmed that its a legit offer. As mentioned previously in this thread, they're using a third party broker to find the island. Some of the stuff on the page is a joke (ie BIN number), but this is just an elaborate promotion for Sprint.
