I was recently contacted by a member of a group (not a manga/anime group) who wanted to advertise on this website. The person stated that all I would have to do was host a stats counter from histats.com, and that I would be paid 3 WMZ per 1000 unique IPs on the counter (which is a really high return). (They also offered to pay through Paypal.) This immediately blew some whistles, but I sent him an email and asked for more information. He stated that he wanted to do it specifically on this website because he was a fan of manga. Going to several of his websites, I saw that he had some manga downloads, such as 20th Century Boys and others. He promised weekly payments.

This is a scam. The link that he wanted me to post opened IFRAMEs to popunder advertising websites for spyware applications.

I do not know why they are specifically targeting manga websites, but in case you are contacted in the same manner, please ignore the request. If it's too good to be true, it IS too good to be true. It's impossible to make easy money on the internet.

Stay Aware.
