A million dollar idea

Linky

Slightly less subtle than other get rich schemes like Million Dollar Homepage - this one doesn't even offer anything in return, although I like the fact it gives you two options.

Who is going to be stupid enough to donate?

Bennie-Mac · 11 Jan 2009 at 23:04

I wonder if hes actually made any money, bet he got thousands! (from stupid people)

Mr-White · 11 Jan 2009 at 23:04

i wonder how much he's made

Perhaps its a sociological experiment to see just how many people would donate a quid for no reason. He doesn't even say please, or offer any incentive. You'd think someone who was genuinely trying to convince you would say... something.

I'm putting my (undonated) money on it being a weird experiment.

Phone him and pretend you are from HMRC demanding tax on the donations and that hes in serious trouble.

MikeHunt79 · 12 Jan 2009 at 00:13

Straight to the point... I like it

BringTheRain · 12 Jan 2009 at 00:17

lol - I remember seeing on tv. That this woman from the usa has $26,000 in debt or around that figure. And she set up paypal. And people donated money. She updated the website, every week with her debt reducing etc. It was quite good. She said she will pay every 1 back one by one. I think thats quite a good idea all beit a scam

I think she only asked for like a max of 1 dollar. Need to find the site now

cheets64 · 12 Jan 2009 at 00:18

This is not new, people have being doing this "give me a $ or a £ for via paypal" for year

Shoseki · 12 Jan 2009 at 00:54

Lame, he could at least be creative with it.

J.B · 12 Jan 2009 at 00:59

Hes probably some spotty 15 year old and thought it would be funny. I doubt that hosting costs much so he would only need a few donations to cover costs.
