Got scammed by Ashwin Khanna
There are a lot of scammers on the net and I just got scammed by one.
If you recall, sometime back I blogged "Write a post and win $2500". I had the feeling that it was a scam but thought, "what the heck, I have nothing to lose".
I had almost forgotten about the contest until I read the post "Ashwin Khanna is a liar and a cheat" on Angel's blog.
Well, Ashwin Khanna has finally revealed the winner - it's HIM.
He announced that a blog with only two posts to be the winner of the contest. Ha ha ha!
I am sure he's now laughing at all of us now - his blog now has a technorati rank of around 7714 and technorati authority of 470, when I last checked.
The only consolation I have now is that I didn't lose any money and I was not the only one but it sure did leave a bad taste in the mouth. I suggest that everyone who had linked to him, remove the link or add a rel="nofollow" tag.
