Last week I got a "Hello" message from a guy on AOL instant messenger by the name of "webcreativejr"
He told me he was in the "industry" and that he had all kinds of deals he could make me.
I told him that I was a black porn webmaster and that I doubted he had anything I could use.
And gave him my URL www.cocoaporn.com
He then told me he had 2.5 million black porn e-mails
such a high number of e-mail for such a small niche I thought to myself...
The next question I asked was surely going to solidify my thoughts of this guy being a scammer
I asked him "Whats the source"
he then replied:
http://www.ebonyflics.com/
AND
http://www.hiphopho.com
Now I've been promoting black porn for about 2.5 years now..
I pretty much know which sites are pushing MAJOR NUMBERS
and I knew that 2.5 million customer e-mails for those above sites, was a "stretch"
No offense to the owners...
I concluded at this point that this guy was a complete scammer and con artist.
5 minutes pass..
And he then asks me what was my URL again, and that he could send me some traffic
I ignore the offer because I realize this is yet him reaching for another scam
***********FAST FORWARD A WEEK************
This same guy contacts me on AOL instant messenger with the following:
Scammer: "Hey Do you want to make $2500?"
Me: "What?"
S: "Unnamed Affiliate Program's Owners AOL ID" will be contacting you all you have to do is tell him you work with me
Me: "But I don't work with you"
S: "I'll cut you in on $2500 of the deal"
At this point I realize that this guy has hustled the sponsor that he has made the deal with, with a deal including me and my site or sites.
I contact the Affiliate Program Owner and asks me what is the name of my company so that he can make the check out
PAUSE: I now realize that I am the missing and final link to a serious crime about to be commited
Sure, I need an extra $2500 as much as the next guy, but it's here that professionalism and honesty override greed and dishonesty and the quest for a fast quick effort free $2500 dollars.
I then let the program owner know that he has been given a deal that I have no knowledge of and that I have no affliation with the person that made him the deal....
