Blog-for-bucks cheaters

With blogging becoming a way of making money, more and more bloggers are taking to paid-blogging. And with this is increasing the number of cheats.’, ‘

I had never wanted to blog for money and that was not my objective when I started to blog. But as I matured as a blogger, I learnt about paid-blogging and accepted a few projects from a few paid-blogging companies.

That is when I received a mail from a “Skylar Sinclaire” from an email address ”bigbucks@blog-for-bucks.com” requesting for a few posts in my blog for some money. I had no reasons to doubt their integrity and agreed to the project. They agreed to pay me on a date after about 15 days from the date I made the posts. I submitted the posts and waited patiently for the payment till the due date. When I did not receive any communication or, payment from them, I wrote to the email from where I received the post-requests. I received no reply for this mail and subsequent mails that I sent. Only then did I realize that I had been cheated. These scoundrels request posts and agree to pay you at a much later date so that the links are indexed and their purpose is solved. They then refuse to pay.

All my fellow bloggers beware of such requests. Also do not even consider registering to their site at “blog-for-bucks.com”.
