Gimme ten grand, for some reason!
A new high point in PayPal-money-request audacity:
What, you might wonder, does “Login and Learn” have to say for themselves in the money-request message?
Note from merchant:
Please make payment in full. All sevices will continue once payment is made. A dynamic new innovation for helping thhe less fortunate.
This guy tried a strange sort of attenuated advance-fee-fraud bait; “Login and Learn” appears to have a similar strange strategy, but based around… a bogus educational charity, I guess?
I wonder if I’ll ever get one of these weird requests for an even larger sum than this.
(Now you jokers’ll all be sending me trillion-dollar invoices, won’t you?)
I read it as "Login and Learn"... what you're paying for. After receipt of USD$10,000, you receive your login details to find out what your 10 g's bought you!
The "less fortunate", clearly, is them - hey if you can shoot 10k to persons unknown for reasons unknown then you are indeed probably more fortunate than them.

That's really not a very intelligent way to go about it. People are going to take notice of a $10,000 invoice. Now one for say $9.95 labeled as an annual subscription renewal I bet the odds are FAR higher that someone might look at it and think, "Huh, don't know what that is, oh well better pay it."
I bet someone somewhere has done a study of how frequently people will pay an unrecognized bill vs the dollar value of the bill.

You, a rich Australian, give me, a poor Nigerian, a lot of money! Isn't that a great idea? Innovative?

I'm now sending you an invoice for the GDP of the entire world... only problem is you can't fit that many zeros into the damned box!

Why stop at a mere trillion? We're going to ask you to pay off the national debts of all the world's governments. Muwahahahahahahaha!

In a months' time, games are going further into the updates. They now have much more difficult strategy. Sometimes they can even be the worlds hardest game.

Appreciating the dedication you put into your site and detailed information you provide about immigration in Canada, workers compensation and success definition. It's great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn't the same old rehashed material. Fantastic read! I've saved your site and I'm including your RSS feeds to my Google account.
