Save Toby!
 
www.savetoby.com - absolutely unbelievable!

Quote:

Toby is the cutest little bunny on the planet. Unfortunately he will DIE on June 30th, 2005 if you don't help.
He's already raised $15,000! :shocked:

ps - check out the recipe section ;)

What a genius! Look how much money hes got from stupid people! How can you call him sick? he isnt really gonna eat him, even if he did its no different from eating a pet cow.

Re: Save Toby!
 
I can't believe that some have fallen for it and actually donated :eek:

Or is that possibly a wind up, given that the paypal links appear real :confused

Re: Save Toby!
 
It is a repost from a while back. The rabbit must be as old as I am. I am sure I have seen this back at least a year ago now.

Surely this is blackmail, I wonder if anyone could prosecute?

Re: Save Toby!
 
if thats legal i need to get some pictures of my cat in a pot. quick!

punky 21-02-2005 16:34

Re: Save Toby!
 
This is probably what I was thinking of. Seems to have more luck this time (unless he is faking donations to encourage people to donate more).

'Kin opportunistic w*nker :upyours:

........I have nothing against eating rabbit..........I just hate moneygrabbing extortionists preying on feeble minded idiots :afire:

Damien 21-02-2005 22:27

Re: Save Toby!

Paul 21-02-2005 22:28

Re: Save Toby!

Actually this has been done in CF some time in the last two months...I particularly remember orangebird's reaction too.Something about them being sick b*arst*rds!

Trouble is I can't remember the name of the thread... :erm:

Wish I had thought of it..........nearly 18k US !!

Mick 20-03-2005 20:31

Re: This is as low as it gets...
 
Surely this goes against Paypal's terms of use?

Of course that figure might not be the true figure could be made up to give the impression that people are donating, but its not money this person wants its a straight jacket. :afire:

Re: This is as low as it gets...
 
Let him eat it, after all rabbit stew is very nice.

Can't see why people would pay to prevent him eating it, will you all donate to me to stop me having that pound of steak mince in my fridge for dinner (as chilli) tomorrow?

timewarrior2001 20-03-2005 21:34

Re: This is as low as it gets...
 
Any way to find out who the host is?
Lets just get the site removed, pretty sick person if you ask me, and his excuses about extertion may wring true in the US, but to me its emotional blackmail, which i believe is illegal.

No matter if the site is a joke, scam or not, its still illegal.

You can't? I can think of things that are much worse than this.

Although I don't agree with it.

Still not the worst thing I've seen tho.

OK, it appears the site is hosted on one of GoDaddys IP addresses, send your "shut this sick site down" request to

abuse@godaddy.com

Just a 1 line, shut this crap down should do it ;) :)
