Abstract We show that for any set A N with positive upper density and any, m N, there exist an infinite set B N and some t N so that \mb₁ + b₂ b₁, b₂ B\ {and\ b₁1/2 contains such configurations up to a shift. We show that the value 1/2 is optimal and obtain analogous results for values of upper density and when no shift is allowed.
