Online Beggar

The internet is an ongoing battleground for techy chancers trying to make a quick buck. You cant go online for more than a minute without being confronted by some hair brained gimmick designed to lighten your wallet.

No so the host of today's site. With admirable honesty this custodian of thriftiness proclaims himself the worlds first online beggar. Describing himself as an honest Joe Soap who's tired of the rat race, this cyber bum want you to give him one dollar towards his early retirement fund You wont get anything in return, just his gratitude and a list of things he intends to do when he retires. It may sound bonkers, but with over 600,000 visits to his site he has already accumulated almost 76,000 dollars, and already he's planning on what to do with his first million.

Who said the dot com bubble had burst?
