Here's how an individual completes the offer: You follow the link and create an account. You are then presented with a list of advertisers. You go out to one of those advertisers and create an account or buy something or sign up for a trial... whatever the "offer" requires. Many of these "offers" don't require money up front but are trials or subscriptions or introductions which if you don't forget to cancel they'll charge you for.
So, you create the account and wait about 24 hours. The company you completed the offer with apparently notified the pyrimad-scheme company and they mark your offer as completed. You then, if you choose, can try to get ten other people to do the same thing. If you do, they claim they'll give you a Mac Mini, or an iPod or something. My guess as to the finacials behind this is that it generates enough REAL leads for a company from people who might not otherwise be interested in their products. The pyrimad-scheme company gets paid for generating this leads. Only a few out of most participants actually complete the 11 required offers and so they don't loose much money giving away stuff like Mac Minis or iPods, etc. It seems to add up.
