People crack me up sometimes… Some dude from Iran figured out how to make infinite free energy, and all he needs from me is $1,000/month or else he will close my AdSense account… ๐

This is a warning and if you donรขโฌโขt pay attention to it you will suffer from bad turns.
All your income is through Google Adsense and if you do not cooperate with us we will stop this income source.
We would like you to pay us the total amount of USD 1000 each month.
This small amount could be considered as nothing compared to your earnings from Adsense.
If you do not pay this amount we will have to close your account by the help of special robots & spaming & …
I am not happy to do this but I have to as there is no way out of it and I trust if you were me you would also have to do the same.
I am an inventor and I have recently innovated a new design which will be accepted by scientific societies only if I can present a model in advance; and making the model takes money. They will register my new design only after they have checked all aspects of the same.
My theory is changing the power into energy. If I succeed many big problems will be solved.
All my design specification could be viewed in the following web log:
//magnetic-machine.blogspot.com/
The magnets will be bought in installments and the amount you pay is to be paid monthly for the same.
After the registration of my design, the entire amount which I received from you will be paid back.
If you collaborate with me, you have helped to the science.
And if not, I will have to close your Google Adsense account.
I seek your help for the sake of the Science and if you are not prepared to collaborate I will have to close your Google Adsense account

Hehehe!
Actually this is the same one Shoemoney got…
http://www.shoemoney.com/2007/03/07/inventor-seeks-funding-for-energy-machine-from-adsense-publishers/
Maybe he’s working his way through the DP member list ๐
ShoeMoney did get this same exact threat…and from what I understand, he already gave this guy money…so make sure when you send the check you know you are getting a piece of the company/copyright…you wouldn’t want to get ripped off.
Ah, c’mon be serious, zombienets can be used to create invalid-clicks, but Google can figure out it’s not a problem.
Imagine big sites like DigitalPoint and its competing sites, why won’t the competition make illegal clicks?
Google is smart, so the smartchain goes Shawn > Irani Energy Mad Genius
Extortion-Bait is the new black.
SBrain shares are tading up today on rumor of Ad Sense revenue increase because of this post ๐
oops missed the “r” trading
“i spam your adsense code to 100.000.000 email address, you earn 1000000 click from yahoo mail ”
What a guy! Sounds like he is going to help you make more adsense money! Ask him if he wants to help me out also!
Isn’t there an “extorted money” write-off on your taxes? I mean, there has to be if you have to pay taxes on stolen goods, right? If so, I say go for it! ๐
That cracks me up…..
Well, shoemoney was only requested to give 200$ /month, guess you can take it as a compliment – you worth more ๐
how click from yahoo mail aginst google TOS ?
is he used adsense code into HTML edit ? if yes its aginst TOS or if he used just a link that will help to earn real cash.
What a retard. I wonder if he’s serious? Probably.
Give me 10k every week or i’ll put your adsense on mfa porn sites!!!!
He must think your worth 5 times what Shoemoney is.
And is that adsense in the email, I suppose the guys a premium publisher.
I like how it says on his site “click hither for see image.”
I hope he bans you and Crazy Rob from Digital Point forums!
this is absolutely ridiculous
HAHAHAHAHA this guy tried it with me too. I’m sure he felt like a moron when I told him I didnt have an adsense account.
Wow, what an evil genius! At least this is something new!
You better pay the guy…after all, clearly he’s not happy to do this.
He’s right about one thing though; I’d definitely extort random people for money if I were in his shoes ๐
Shawn,
Can you ask him to send some of those clicks my way? If not, I will crash DP & the forums with a new robot I hand coded in the bathroom ๐ I call it the Turd-a-nator, be sure to unblock it in robot.txt (please) lolololololol
ROTFL, is this guy serious or what? ๐
– MENJ
A client of mine got that exact same email.
There was however a bitter exchange of nasty words from both sides for a while though!
Menj,
That guy is dead serious :P..
Lol.. Shawn thanks for the good laugh :)..
I wonder if anyone would really pay him any money or if he seriously would commit such an horrendous act.
just curiouse, did anybody reported this crap to FBI or something like that !? What he is doing can be called a fraud…
I wouldn’t say it’s fraud, but extortion, yes. But I don’t think the FBI has much jurisdiction in Iran, do they? ๐
That guy is dead serious
LOL this is too silly man. Some people goes over the head. I hope his mental status is good.
Well a quick google search of his email address came back with a forum profile.
Look at his signature links http://forum.persiantools.com/u30452.html maybe they are his which means you have his whois information ๐
Is that guy really serious ?
Oh GOD Shawn , plz do contact google and say what is happening.Bcoz I don’t like our DP forum to be closed !
Haha.
I love emails like that.
Thanks for the laff ๐
Mike
Emails like this are like a entertainment medium lets us to have a good laugh during hectic work days ๐
hehe..
what happened next?
Strange, but true. He probably thought you were an easy target, someone who could be gamed for the cash. Only thing is that his claim is so ludicrous that it defies logic!
So, Shawn, it’s been about 3 months now. Any update on this?
So……. has it been closed yet? ๐
OMG!!! THIS IS SOOO FUNNY
hehehe.. are you banned? bwahahaha! If that guy can ban friendster and multiply, maybe he can ban you ๐
This is something new apart from the Nigerian scam that I always get. So what happen next?
Gosh, just happened to see this. Heh, can’t believe pple actually do these : ))
lol….. I guess u must be using clicks tracker ๐
Does adsense “allowed site” feature can’t prevent spam?
LOL, looks like this guy has finally succedded =)
Looks like it worked ?
I’m sure Shawn will get it all worked out tho.
That sucks!

Can Google help you out on this issue? Google must have a way of knowing bad clicks and illegal impressions.
That really cracked me up ๐
I would never believe that, i would rather contact google and show him his email.
I would tell google to monitor my site and remove clicks that are invalid.
Atleast google will think of me as his friend ๐
Okay let’s say you’re a random dumb person who would normally fall for this; would you really think you could remake the $2500 or whatever it costs for him to not ruin your Ad Sense rep. And since you appear to be an intelligent person, does he think that you’re not going to contact Google and let them know, or not save this email in the case things to go haywire? I mean honestly! I get a lot of dumb emails similar to this and even though I can identify it as a total scam, I feel bad for those who buy into emails such as this.
Maybe this guy is part of the Iranian government and the magnetic power crap is code for nuclear weapons program.
Wow taht guy has some problems, lol
does he have any sister to suck my dick? i wolud go to iran myself. fuckin’ ha ha ha. lol
wow..look at this..you did lot osf thing to reach this point and he is clever to earn some money from me :))))
ฤฑ will sent email this man to help me too :)))
I wonder Shawn, did you even bothered noticing Google?
wait.. what was his nick / name again? Because someone added me in his G-talk, was from Iran and was talking the same stuff !!!
I used my magnetic force to block him, it worked “sshh”
-.-
MoiN
Haha, I guess this guy already get enough money for his scientific experiments.
abbas.shafiee is his Skype name…he has already tried to contact me through Skype…I recognize the name. It’s too bad that there are people that fall for these scams every day! Someone should report him so that the word gets out about the threat….they may not be able to do anything to stop him, but at least others can be warned.
I wont send a botnet attack against you for $990 ๐
/* Always thinking – undercutting the competition ftw */
This is so funny… LOL
too bad that blogger site is now gone, i just wanted to see what he had to offer to bombard google adsense LOL
thanks for sharing
hahahah….This is halarious. It can catch small fishes though. ๐
LoL people sure find new ways of earning or shall I say acquiring money ๐
Haha this is pretty funny his extorsion attempt turns into some kind of business proposal of sort lol.
Hahaha… I really laughed a lot after reading it ๐
So, what happend to your adsense account now Shawn? ๐

haaa haaa haaa haa ๐
WTF?! LOL!!! I have to admit this post literally made me laugh so hard I am actually tired and have to take a nap now. As Matt K said..it’s so ludicrous it defies logic. This email is on the pedestal for all time /golfclap ๐
To everyone that asked, nothing happened with my AdSense account, and no… I didn’t bother notifying Google. Although I’m sure it would have given them a good laugh. ๐
God. this made me laugh! He is so funny. I hope he replied more because I want to laugh ๐
I hope he closes Bill gates adsense account, ๐
If he knows how to hack then why not link my account to google.com
Total loser….
I think he is telling a joke
Haha I hope one day i am also entitled to get these mails ๐
This guy is a wannabe scientist! I also think he has been banned from DP! Watch out for those you ban Shawn ๐
LOL thanks for the great laugh!

Well the scammers are turning into really funny people.
I wonder why God creates evil minded person and why do people spam or scam for no reason ? Just live yourself and let others survive.
