Sabrina’s Money Matters

I get email all day, everday and a lot of it is related to things I sometimes only take a passing interest in….I admit it. I get tons of emails that say this in the subject line…”Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Fwd:….” and I don’t often read them, save for a few people I usually delete delete delete.

But I was sifting through email this morning and saw this email from the BlogRush CEO, typically with programs I’m involved with I’ll mark it as read and read it over the weekend.

BlogRush is a new widget here and on lots of other blogs because it’s so interactive and carries promise for bringing readers to your blog that are currently on a blog with a similar topic that features the widget.

I must admit, I’ve been skeptical of it and the email I received had much more than the part I’m going to show you. However, the language used to address scammers here is very strong and makes me smile because I feel this passionately about my content and my work and I can appreciate the dedication it takes to undertake the task this CEO intends to take on with these scammers.

I opened it and read a bit and then got to the juicy part, that I’ll now share with you….

And a quick word to any ‘cheats’ that might be reading this
letter… it’s very possible that you may come up with something
extremely creative that temporarily gets by us, but you should know
something… IT’S NOT GOING TO BE WORTH YOUR TIME. And I’m not just
talking about the tiny amount of traffic that you’ll receive before
we shut you off.

You see, we have other plans in the works…

If you attempt to cheat or abuse our network in anyway, shape, or
form, we will not hesitate to come after you. Our company is well
funded and has plenty of resources. And we WILL use them to punish
you to the fullest extent of the law (and civil court process). Oh,
you think you can just hide behind some anonymous proxy IPs? Sorry,
it’s not that easy. ANY reason you’d have to try and cheat the
BlogRush network for traffic and any attempt you make to monetize
that traffic will lead directly to your front door — whether it’s
AdSense, any affiliate program in the world, any online pharmacy,
porn site, casino… ANYTHING. We will follow the trail and it WILL
eventually lead to you.

Our hard-working company provides the income for MANY families. As
the CEO of our company, I take this very seriously. I HAVE TO.
People that attempt to abuse or cheat BlogRush are affecting the
livelihood of all my employees and their families. And I will do
everything in my power to protect them — it’s MY DUTY.

So for all you cheaters that joined BlogRush and had your fun trying
to siphon off some traffic, hopefully it was fun. And I’ll go ahead
and make this statement right now… IF you were one of the people
that has been cheating our network I’m going to give you ONE
opportunity… quit now and we’ll pretend it never happened. I
think that’s more than fair.

BUT… if you continue after this point, all bets are off. We WILL
eventually discover what you’re doing, where you’re trying to send
traffic, and we will prosecute you. I GUARANTEE IT. Sorry, but WE
HAVE NO CHOICE NOW.

* If you’re one of our valued, HONEST users, I’m very sorry you even
have to read stuff like that. I know it’s a waste of your time.
Unfortunately, there are unethical people in this world that attempt
to abuse and take advantage of others.

MOVING ON…

As a blogger I’m proud to feature their widget because of the passion and dedication this CEO has to bring a quality product to bloggers like me, that strive to bring quality content to you.
