Another one bites the dust.

The "complaining for being banned" at its best

[frox]

Dear friends,

I am not (USUALLY) the kind of person that takes pleasure in others' disgraces.

But, in a forum far, far away, I have come across a masterpiece of the usual "Google has unfairly banned me" theme.

It was in effects so exhilarating that I put the time do extract the best pieces of it, paraphrase and translate them for you to enjoy.

these are excerpts form several messages where the scammer tries to rationalize what he has done.

An interesting variation: the scammer was using (part of) the money to buy prizes for his forum's members...

Well that definitely is a classic, thanks for the laf frox LOL

[jenkers]

so hopefully this person not only didn't get paid - they also had to pay for the prizes out of their own pocket...priceless.

A classic!

hmm, to offset all the prize monies he is out, perhaps he can get a walk-on role on the next edition of world's dumbest crooks

They should renovate hell and create a new circle in it for fools like this!

Their poor understanding of their fraud is so amusing and yet sad. I wish I could create my own morality on-the-fly like this.

I know a forum where currently, they have a sticky post which gives details on how to help the board make money by visiting a sister site, and clicking on the google ads very 'reasonably', say, only once a day, and only after browsing a few pages of the site.

The entire tone of the post is so confident, you hardly think this is breaking any rules or will ever get caught if you do.

Seems these guys live in some make-believe world where straightforward honesty is an unheard of phenomenon. Just imagine how insulted they wud feel if someone caught them cheating on their partners/ wives/ spouses.. "I mean, cheating a few times (invalid clicks) is not against the TOS, what about all the nights I spent with my wife (valid clicks), I dont get any credit for that?"

I know of a radio station where they told listeners to click on their ads. One night the dj was boasting about how they would "probably break $100 tonight" if people kept clicking away.

Of course it's always "support the site... we're good guys" rather than "click the ads so I can buy a new car."
