I know many of you entered into one of the same contests that I did recently - “Ashwin’s $2500″ contest. You should all know it was a complete scam. He lied. There was no prize and no “real” winner. It was linkbait. I am no longer linking to this scammer’s site and neither should you (read the first link provided below - there’s a better alternative to deleting your post).
If you would like to read more about the scam, you can do so by going here and here.

It’s funny how low people will go on the net! He obviously has no job and / or life.

Thank you for posting that. I personally made the same mistake of linking him on my site. Even though I had already read about this asanine scam elsewhere, I’m sure other people greatly appreciate you blogging about the subject because now they are informed as well.

Man, I can’t believe some one would do that. The supposed “winner” blog has already been suspended, according to a generic WP page….
