i just read a email from someone who says "i'm building a house and getting married, all i ask is that you sign up under me, i'm NOT asking for a handout." Well i call that a handout and i'm sick of people who keep asking for money or signups. IF you cannot afffford it don't do it. THere's a reason people have jobs. I'm sorry but if you want or NEED money that badly you need to get a job. that's what a job is for. honestly i saw a website with a couple asking for handouts because they wanted to have their own baby through invitro feritilization. all i have to say is GET A LIFE. if you can't afford to own a house YOU should live in an apartment. If you can't afford to get married then just go to a courthouse if you want to get married that badly. I'm pretty sure more people on this forum have more serious problems then trying to get money to build a house and get married. If i wanted to sign up under someone out of charity i'd do it for a better cause then for your lazy ### to build a freakin house and getting married.
sorry i'm just annoyed so many people are trying to get a free ride.

I gotta agree! I want a new house too, but I wont get one until I earn it myself without asking for a handout.

Well, I'm not builing a house, and I'm certainly not getting married. But if anyone want to send me some money, I'll gladly accept
Seriously though, I have to agree with you. I've seen way too many of these messages already and definately won't be sending any of my money their way.

mindyray ... you took the words right out of my mouth. if someone needs referrals, they should advertise ... not beg. as you said, getting a job is far more dignified than begging for money on the net. i become more and more angry each time i run across this. thanks for bringing it up.

You know, when I see people begging like that, it has the opposite effect. I want to do anything BUT give them money/what they want. Why don't people understand that?
Everybody has their troubles, so where do you draw the line? Who do you help, and who not? And how will you ever know if what they're saying is true? I hate to sound hard-hearted, but unless I know the person, I'm afraid I just won't be helping out. See, I have a family too, and we need to eat and have a place to live as well. In this day and age, I just can't afford to take the chance to help out people I don't know.

i just had a question if you decide to start building a house dont you calculate the costs to build it
most people when buying a quart of milk make sure they have the money
this guy/girl is such an ###### he/she starts to build a house without ensuring they have enough money
i wish these scam artists atleast made plausible stories

I don't mind so much there has been soo much hashing abt all this. Ya know there is a whole site for that it's like CyberBegging or something.
I am happy they spent the money they don't have on an ad that made ME a little change!

I join everything I can here where I'll at least get ONE refferal so doesn't matter to me what their story is abt.

BTW give me a penny! I need it for MY Fund! ROFL

Hey now - don't add to the misconception - alot of people seem to think we ski here year round already
Actually I'm living in BC close to Vancouver so the only two seasons they have here are wet & wetter. Don't think I even saw a snowflake this year - ah for the good old days living on the east coast.

mmmm -- really does not matter to me! Housebuilding, hospital bills, sick cats or hacked sites. No different than trying to get people to sign up/search with a fancy ad or propmise of riches. Just a different way of getting those coveted refs/searches.
If there is an incentive I might search - just as I would any other ad. Why is this type of text in a paid ad different than any other. Some fall for it other's don't - just like some fall for the --- make 1 mill in 2 days approach.
Just my 2 cents.
