    I have put this in my Avatar:-
    "Give me a green rep. PM me and i will pay you via paypal. Hurry! this is a limited offer".

    Two users have pmed me saying:-
    "Hello,

    I gave you a green rep. Please send the money to my paypal ID:-
    xxxxx@xxxxxx.xxxx
    "

    I felt down from chair when i saw these users saying that.. That was so funny :D:D:D:....

    I was joking and they took it serious :D.

    I was in need of REPs so i used this idea, and it worked.... lol

    ........ hahah

    Thanks

    That's really cool. You would've paid both of them for their ignorance and the time they wasted on giving Rep + PM lol

    yeah.... :(

    I didn't thought people will take it serious. Because no one is going to pay only for REPs :D

    But why???????? I have right to put anything in my Avatar. What if i put "Visit xxxxxx.com and get $10!". If someone visit then will i have to pay them?... Acutally NO! because people always put funny things in their avatars.

    I have to say, I think it was a bit silly - if you want people to know it's a joke, say $1,000 - not $1. There are a few people on these boards who would be sucked in.

    Well. ok let me tell you at last.

    I was in need of a reputation because someone in my INTRODUCTION thread gave me a -REP and my reputation got down. After that i didn't found someone to gimme a GREEN REP. So i tried the (see post #1) idea and it worked for me :D.

    Now i have put that REP thingy in my avatar just for FUN. I dont want more REPs...... they are still appreciated, BTW. But i dont need'em so urgently :p

    I hope people remember to take your offers seriously in the BST forum from now on. Next time you're giving away 'free links in my directory' or whatever I expect a lot of people will think there's a catch.
