GoFuckYourself.com - Adult Webmaster Forum - The Drama Thread: Scammers And How They Operate

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....
