Who are you?
I am ZDoctor. I created Lockerz-Scam. I have been waiting for you. You have many questions, and although the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably ignorant. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also irrelevant.
Is Lockerz a Scam?
Lockerz is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of GPT Sites. It is the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden to sedulously avoid it, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here.
Lockerz Prize Goes On Back Order
The Lockerz redemption is likely the reason we are all here. It’s hard and requires a lot of luck. For one lucky or should I say unlucky user, they had their prize his prize delayed.
On the December redemption, 5hadowenygm4 got into PTZ place and redeemed for a 120 GB PS3. A few days passed and he had his approval letter from Lockerz.
One week later, Lockerz contacted 5hadowenygm4 and gave him his notice of delay letter. Apparently, the PS3 120 GB was so popular that it was sold out. Instead of getting the PS3 in 3-4 weeks like Lockerz seems to promise, they delayed his PS3 to being shipped out during mid-late February. That’s adding on another 4 weeks to his order.
How can 5hadowenygm4 be sure he really gets his prize? What if this is a tactic by Lockerz by saying they are out of stock and shipment is always coming but never does. This doesn’t seem right that they allowed a product to be over-purchased.
How can they allow themselves to sell too much product? How can they force people to wait on back-order? If they can just as easily turn around and say “Hey, wait a few weeks, we’ll get you your prize”, why can they not do that for all of us? Instead of redemptions, why not do back-orders and see how many to order and ship? Would that not be a better system than lottery? There are over 2.5 million Lockerz users and they expect a luck handful to get prizes while saying, “Sorry, you are out of luck. Hey try again next time. maybe you will get lucky.” We do your work Lockerz. You get money from selling our opinions to 3rd party companies. How can you just say we are paying a select few of you?
Another critical question is how can we be sure e won’t be next on back-order? We waited to redemption and got lucky. You promised us our prize in 3-4 weeks and now its 7-8. If you lied to us about delivery and stock, how can we be sure you aren’t lying to us about everything else?
With all the fails that Lockerz has produced, I’m sure many Lockerz users are losing their trust in the legitimacy of this so called rewards site. Who knows, maybe they sold that PS3 off to someone who guaranteed that PS3. Considering how Lockerz has yet to show proof of rewarding someone other than the $5 T-shirts, I would not put it past them to do this sort of thing. Who knows? Maybe they won’t even ship it to him at all and hope he forgets with time.
I still do not understand why are you whining so much, you don’t have any reason for it. The re-stock was not good. It was not the point to be good. On the first re-stocks, you sir complained about how slow the site was. Ok. Agreed. Not, it’s fast, lagless, it’s much more natural that the prizes go on fast! What are you expecting?! They’re FREE! FREE! Lockerz is not a right, it’s a privilege, stop complaining about it. I got 150$ during this re-stock and I do not complain about it. It’s good, it could be better, but it’s not everyday I can earn 150$ as easy. Neither do you. Stop complaining and crying because your PS3 did not came. For God sake. And if you’re sad about the hours, do something and sign the petition as everybody else:

This article was nicely written up, thanks Shibar.
Anyways Dave, what lag? Of course I did whine a bit about not getting something I have successfully redeemed and should have received for all the previous dedication and publicity I did for them. No, it wasn’t a job but it was a way to earn myself PTZ legitimately and to be one of the first (if not THE first) person to redeem. December’s redemption was fast, so I don’t know what you say about LAG unless you mean back in November when I didn’t care about lag or not, but whether they would send me anything at all… that’s a different story though, but moving on.
How would you feel if that $150 didn’t come at all? You used PTZ but didn’t get crap, even when they approved your prize and you were waiting so eagerly to receive a prize you stayed a week (or more), disregarding all the time you spent earning them way more in return to NOT get a prize that would be so little to how much they have right now.? I did sign the petition but I doubt they would do anything, they are just making excuses to not send me my PS3 Slim, and until I see it they are MAKING UP CRAP so they get to keep the money and to make me think I’ll get it THIS DAY or THAT DAY.
Sure, it may be free, and you aren’t complaining because you actually got crap. This T-Shirt they sent me instead will be burned, shows how much I care about it. They are greedy when it comes to high-cost prizes, they just want to give you cheap and easily-producible items to make you squee-in-joy and try to save up for bigger prizes… and when you do, you’ll just be let down.
Do you have anything else to say? Because I am damn sure you shouldn’t. If I was fast enough to get a PS3 Slim I wouldn’t complain about lag or errors. They indeed wasted my time and I don’t want that to happen to my friends or anyone else… and I could care less about that petition as it’s as much bull as LOCKERZ is for me.

I got myself a PSP Bundle in December re-stock, and I’m proud to show it:

You have to understand things and not complaining. They are a company that gives out free prizes. You redeemed a PS3? Great, and I hope you receive it, I really do. They give out free stuff and you can’t expect much from a company like this, anything that comes to you free is awesome, even if it is a crappy shirt. It’s free. You don’t have to pay anything for it. And that’s great. And I’ll say it again, Lockerz is not a right, it’s a privilege.
Posted on January 31st, 2010 at 6:13 pm
Lockerz is not a right, it’s a privilege..yes but what kind of privilege? one that you have to spend a lot of time and effort to get anything at all??? Regardless of if its a privilege they are making money off its members and not showing enough appreciation to them. The least they could do is acknowledge that redemption did not go over very well and they can not give most members a prize because it would cost to much but no lockerz just plays it off as nothing happened and everything went fine and dandy and that everyone is happy. I believe Lockerz is a privilege that this world does not need and that this privilege is a stain of American history.
Lockerz is not a right, it’s a privilege
This sites views and ideas are a right, not a privilege
Freedom of speech

Beautiful post ZGore, I love it
Posted on February 1st, 2010 at 9:03 am
What are the chances on Lockerz that you are going to get a prize? There is like a 10% chance on acually getting a prize. There is a reason that Lockerz isnt like any other of the prize sites and their prizes cant be in stock 24/7. Beacuse they are a SCAM! If they were real and everyone got what they wanted, there would be no bull shit surpise restock. And the people that acually redeem something most of time get some bull shit exuse that they cant get it for some dumb ass reason.
Posted on February 3rd, 2010 at 7:13 am
LOL, if 1 person has managed to get something, this means >0% chance to retrive, this means that you get get something from zero. Fukken awesome. Ok, you probably won’t, but the chance is still worth zero.
And 10% chance you say? omfg what’s the fucken problem?
I Came.
Posted on February 6th, 2010 at 11:30 am
not even 10% because for you to have 10% chance then they would have to be giving out at least 200,000 prizes…..which would cost a ridiculous amount…
here are your estimated chances of getting any prize at all based on how many PTZ you have
7500PTZ odds = 1:1138
500PTZ odds = 1:1404
100PTZ odds = 1:2633
if you want to put it in a percent for then its 0.08%
Posted on February 6th, 2010 at 8:28 pm
OH NO THEY’RE STEALING ALL OF OUR MONEY! ALL MY MONEY I SAVED UP TO BUY A PS3 BUT NOW IT’S DELAYED! ALL MY MONEY… oh wait.
Posted on February 10th, 2010 at 9:57 am
For EVERYONE saying it takes “Time and Effort” are you serious, you spend at most 20 seconds answering a question and clicking the login button
Posted on February 10th, 2010 at 11:40 am
How much time did you spend trying to convince people it’s legit, and getting invites? I know that I spent a lot of time on that.
Posted on February 11th, 2010 at 8:28 am
Ok 20secs to hit the login button and answer a question……so 20secs to get 4-8ptz and we are going to disregard invites……ok so how many secs does it take to get something? i mean redemption can happen at anytime within the month. How are you going to get a prize if you only spend 20secs a day on Lockerz? So you only spend 600secs in a 30 day month so what are the chances that that the redemption is going to happen withing those 20secs your on? seems more likely that redemption will happen sometime withing the 2,591,400 secs that your not on right? People are using the site to get stuff not to hit a login button and answer a question. So for you have have any real chance at all you need to keep checking lockerz. they might check then go doing something then come back to check etc. If you don’t check all the time then your chances of getting anything plummet down to almost zero which would make that measly 20secs a day a waste of time and effort as you got nothing out of it
Posted on February 11th, 2010 at 5:10 pm
Ok i have just read up on the official lockerz info and alot of other websites and ive come to the conclusion that 1. if you dont want to waist your 2 minutes of life a day dont be a cheap ass and go earn some realt money and buy it for yourself if you dont like lockers they dont give a shit so there is no point in complaining. 2 i have used lockerz and actualy redeemed an imac and a 360 and they did delay yes in fact about 8 weeks it took but i got about $3000 worth of FREE SHIT! so its luck of the draw and to tell you my 4000 ptz from invites and zlist status for just 2 mins a day for the last 3 months so approx 31x2x3= around 3 hours of my life wow big fuckin woop i got alot of shit from that 3 hours. 3. i have to agree with dave and z-gore your stats are wrong 7500 point you could actualy redeem 2 guarenteed prizes worth $1400 in total or you could take your chances and actually get something heeps good for 7500 like me i could have gotten a ps3,360,imac and a mac air and still had some left over even if only 1-2 prizes arivee thats fucking sweet and a tshirt for like 1 hour of making fake emails i think thats worth it sothe conclusion is: IF YOU DONT LIKE LOCKERZ DONT USE IT GOT GET HARD EARNED MONEY AND SPEND AND QUIT WINING OVER NOT RECIEVING PRIZES IF YOU DID RECIEVE THEN THATS A DIFFRENT MATTER EVERYONE THAT BELEIVES IN LOCKERZ FOLLOW WHAT U BELIEVE AND DONT LET JEALOUS DICK MUNCHERS SPOILD YOUR FUN.
thankyou for reading Kristian S
Posted on February 12th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
wow you totally forgot to add time of waitng for restock unless you magically just happen to get on right when it happened twice…oh and lets not forget as if you really got those 2 things that you would have had to have sent tons of invites…
Posted on February 13th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
@kziggy your a bunch of bullshit ,just like Lockerz is,where are your unboxing proof videos,and if you say you didnt make one ,my next question is ,why wouldnt you make one ,regarding such a controversial site,you make me laugh so hard when you say you redeemed an imac and a 360 ,but you say you redeemed about $3000 dollars worth of shit,wow,just wow and no video of all of it,,to fucking good ,kziggy you are a fraud .
Posted on February 20th, 2010 at 1:59 am
@perry why would he have to make a video just to prove you wrong there is already tons of videos of unboxing on youtube and if you get a t shirt the site isnt fake since you got a reward right? no one has to make a video just to prove you wrong because you didnt get your prize don complain about it here complain about it to lockerz or maybe your just mad you can ever get prizes because other people are faster
Posted on February 22nd, 2010 at 1:03 pm
if you get a shirt it isnt fake??? its cheap advertising..why wouldnt they give a shirt away….also to proof he got a prize he would need to post proof otherwise its just hearsay..and why wouldnt he post a video? that is the best way for people to get invites… also add up the amount of unboxing and compare them to membership…if you get less than 200,000 then you have less thant 5% of membership for a full year of redemptions…and its not because people were faster its because they spent most of there time refreshing and checking, were fast and super lucky….your getting mad at us just like we get mad at lockerz…its simple its human nature…

Hey I just joined lockerz and have 170 points in just a month. Here is what I do just sell my account! once i reach like 500 ptz just sell it i know that its illegal and stuff but just do it secretly. I have contacted lockerz 2 times and guarenteed it so if any of you fuckin people wanan complane just be a man (or woman) and sell it there coming out with shop where you can buy ptz so if you give them a penny of your money they have to give you something right its the law! later
Posted on March 9th, 2010 at 1:48 am
have you seen the LAB meeting of the store from back in December….cost go up..a lot…..those 175ptz skullcandy headphones would be 1000ptz or $125…..which off another site would be $49,95…..that’s more then double…..and lockerz have problems with getting prizes out….how much trouble would they have sending your purchased product!!! and not only that, you have to give them your CREDIT CARD……not saying they will steal your credit card but with all the errors and bugs….you could be over charged, not get your item, not be able to contact them about anything etc….the BBB gave lockerz a F and is unable to contact lockerz to gain more info….they got a F before they even launched
Posted on March 10th, 2010 at 10:49 am
umm what about the lockerz prize guarante
Posted on March 11th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
“umm what about the lockerz prize guarante” ??? he redeemed a prize in december, then it was backordered, then was guaranteed to come before march……..lockerz lied…if the ps3′s were really backordered from back in december then there is no way for lockerz to have ps3′s for jan or feb restock….it does not take 3+ months to get a ps3 and ship it….lockerz is lying
Posted on March 12th, 2010 at 1:37 pm
Have you noticed that the PS3 is always out of stock in stores? That’s because they have reduced the production… There could be a reason why he hasn’t gotten his PS3 from lockerz. I´m not defending lockerz as it seems like, but it could be a reason why it will not come, and why it is so late…
Posted on March 24th, 2010 at 9:47 am
That would seem reasonable but then they could not have had a ps3 in the Jan and Feb redemption.

Lockerz prizes are not really free some of the crap you have to watch to get the points UGH!!and remember we are watching all their adds also.
Posted on May 13th, 2010 at 9:53 am
lol, if you dont like lockerz then dont use it. What is done, is done. there is no use in complaining. Plus it is a hit and miss with these kinds of things, there is no guarentee that you will get what you want. and if you’re realy that upset go get a job and buy what you were suposed to get.
and of course the server is laggy. there is probably only 1 or 2 servers taking in data from probably 10, 000+ clients out there.
Posted on June 28th, 2010 at 12:54 am
Why dont you stop wasting your time because its obvious in your other posts that it is so PRECIOUS to you?….if you dont like lockerz then leave it alone…sure they tell you that you can redeem prizes but they never said they would guarantee it…so if your time is so precious to you then youl stop whining about lockerz and stop bitching on this site about how much it sucks
Posted on June 30th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
dude, lockerz is legit shit.
he eventually got his PS3 right?
It probably ran out of stock when they were purchasing it for the members,
so it took a while longer,
he still got it, so it’s no scam at all.
Lockerz is 100% legit, and its not a scam.
Honestly, the whole point of this website is shit, Lockerz is real.
The bigger prizes run out because, when you realize theres millions of users, the shit runs out fast, so imagine all of the orders they have to place.
If you dont get to the redemption fast enough, things go fast, especially the big prizes.

haha thats great !!
Posted on July 7th, 2010 at 12:17 pm
wow… you guys are sad, and you don’t even know what you’re talking about.. I have caught 8 redemptions (no I am not a comp nerd). I can get a bunch of points quickly as I am a Z-lister. I have gotten 1 MacBook Air, 1 MacBook Pro, 2 iPads, and a couple of iPhone skins… Call me lucky, but I know several other people have been just as lucky as me.. Yes I will admit the MacBook Pro hasnt come yet (its been 3 weeks as of 8-11-10) and all the other prizes came in 2 weeks time.. I love lockerz and just don’t talk shit about lockerz to people who obviously are on this site to beat on lockerz…
