HAHA I like the part where you said maybe you should pay him something because in the end he gave you something you could actually use. I would send him 100,000 satoshi for his  article in the comics section of Dailysatoshi. Hehe

In addition I can only imagine what an article written by bhimn would actually look like. His english WOW. He would need to pay someone 0.05 BTC to proofread each article he writes before submitting it HAHAHA

0.05 is not enough  Shocked 0_o

I own dailysatoshi.com which is a crypto news and article website that I'm working on. I pay people to write articles and in return I get to use those articles on my website. I have a few rules when it comes to articles but my biggest rule is DO NOT PLAGIARIZE! This user sent me three articles that had been copy and pasted directly from three sites.

These are the three sites they were stolen from.

This user tried to sell me something that:

1: Didn't belong to them
&
2: They knew I wouldn't be able to use on my site

So this user just hoped I wouldn't notice the articles had been stolen from other sites, until after I had paid them.

Just got another email from them. Will update with the confession.





thanks for a very info you shared here...

Just in case anyone wants to read the very hastily written article about this scam attempt.

First they threatened to try to have me banned for not paying them, then confessed to trying to scam me and asked for mercy. Not a bright one we have here.

Also just in case that person deletes their reply claiming that email account as their own.
