    I don't know where else to read this. I have posted this story on my forums as well. Someone's life is in ruins. She needs help. I have also posted this story on my own forums. Please, read! I don't have much money in m PayPal, but can any other of you help ?? (She did not ask me to post this, I take all responsibility)

    Ill be honest, I can't be bothered to read all of this.

    But from what I have read it looks like you want people to give you money. The main reason is that people wont belive your story. And even if they do, they wont give you money.

    Its a harsh world buddy, nobody gives money away to people they dont know unfortunatly. Best of luck to you though.

    Mate it's not for me. And yes I'm sorry if you can't be bothered to read it.

    I wouldn't sink so low as to make up a 20,000 character story and then ask for money.

    Nor do I own 5 domain names. I thought others would be interested in helping. If it is not, I'm sorry that I ever even posted this. What happened to a little good in the world?

    assuming this is true and not attempt to scam people, have you asked this person if they're ok with theire personal details being spammed across the internet?
    Where was this origanally posted? (it's not on their yuwie - a blog there mentions somthing similar & names those sites but makes no request for money, and googles only resualt is this thread)
    do you know this person or did you just see this online somewhere?

    First of all, you can't be bothered to read but you feel you must come in here and comment. Grow up.

    Second, I've seen people given 10, 20, 50k online during emergencies or odd situations. This was when webmaster communities were communities and not some crazy collection of $2 an hour wannabes.

    Anyhow, why post negative crap in a thread? Even if you don't want to help there is no reason to discourage others. Karma will remember you.

    Way to long to read the whole thing. That said it looks incredibly scammish, just saw the part where they were begging for money.

    I wouldn’t waste my time reading that crap.

    Basically just another web scam, It is because of you that people are hard asses and won’t help anyone on the web.

    I opened it so I thought I had to comment.
