Cash4Gold Offers Blogger $3,000 To Remove Negative Post

[Are_grits_groceries]

Want to get rich in blogging? Just write negative posts about sleazy companies and wait for them to bribe you to take your post down. That's what the Cockeyed blog learned after blogging about their experience in using Cash4Gold's servicess...

...where the gold buyer offered them a price that was 1/3 of what they could get at a local pawn shop. Subsequently, Cockeyed's post became the number 3 Google result for Cash4Gold. A SEO rep for the company sent Cockeyed two emails offering money to take the post down or make it more positive. The second email offered "a few thousand."

1. haha--with each offer, the attention on them grows.

Now they can be known not only for being cheezoid cheap-skate ripoff artists, but also for bribing people not to say bad things about them. What will they do when every person who was ripped off by them blogs about it?

2. Those Commercials Creep Me Out...

The feel of a payday lender. "Just send us grandma's gold teeth and we'll send you cash". Then you're supposed to mail it in and take their word? But then desperate times bring out these vermin.
