Default Two Million Dollar Baby

Quote:
Despite using protection, my girlfriend has fallen pregnant. We're both only 19 and at the start of our university lives. The cost of raising a child in this world is just too expensive, but we don't want to abort. Adoption is NOT an option. If we can't raise TWO MILLION US DOLLARS by JUNE 30, 2008 - We have no choice but to ABORT our BABY. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Can you HELP?

I just donated $2000. I hope he raises the money cause I am now worried that he won't and I don't know what happens to my $2000 if he doesn't.

What does it say about me as a human being that the "countdown to abortion" clock made me laugh? The site is just so far from plausible. Pretty cool that he's swindled some idiots into giving him 20 bucks though.

I especially enjoy how when it comes to abortion, he's "meh, whatever" but he has a huge issue releasing this child into the world to be raised by unknown people. That just doesn't fit in my opinion...

I hope you're not serious. Try and get the money back, this is an obvious scam.

If this really is legit, then I can't believe the gall of these people. Knocking up your girlfriend, even if by accident, does not entitle one to millions of dollars, especially by way of a chintzy "blog" about one's problem.

You are intelligent enough to notice this is a scam, but still gullible enough to believe Flamesinyoureyes.

I see this as a target to religious groups and others deeply opposed to adoption.
While possibly a scam, I have to give them credit as being creative, and probably working a lot better than the Nigeria scammers.

There was a girl in NYC a few years back who got herself into a world of hurt with debt. She solicited help on her webpage and ended up paying it all off I believe. Now, she was selling stuff...but she was getting a lot of donations as well. I would think this one is a joke (and not a funny one) but I have to admit, in this day and age you just can't be sure. If someone is making money off of this, true or fake, it's deplorable.

Well its looks like it has been shut down, fake or not I guess it didn't work. If it were actually true though, it's like the parents are holding their unborn baby at a ransom for 2 million. Some people are messed up.
