Bizarro knockoff of metroblogging.com by internet creeps


Some shady characters who run internet gambling and college-degree-mill websites appear to have ripped off the look, feel, and content of popular group blog network metroblogging.com. That ain't right, and Sean's looking for help -- legal advice or solar death rays.

Sean's heard from some of the authors who contribute to the knockoff site. They've stated that the site's owners promise contributors will earn up to $100K a year or more -- but they'll have to blog for a few months before seeing their first paycheck. Yeahhh. That sounds reasonable and trustworthy.

I bet we'll see more scams like this, as blogging is increasingly perceived by many as a way to get rich quick at home in your underwear. Little do they know it's much better for helping you stay poor and be naked.

Link so Sean's deconstruction of the metblogs ripoff.
