OT- Opinions and the need to be heard
One of the most popular new scams on the internet is the
" get paid for your opinion" - It seems that people are so desperate to be heard that they will actually pay these con men in hopes of being noticed. If you read this newsgroup, you will find a similar situation in guys responding to every message just so they can post their own philosophy which is usually some coffee table quotation attached as part of their signature. Having said all that, I guess that makes me part of the " I want to be noticed" herd as well. |
