"Erin, aka
redscorner, needs to have brain surgery and can't afford it:
I suffer from two neurological disorders (Chiari malformation and cranial lesions) that will require a combined total of 2-4 brain surgeries. I'm unemployed and uninsured and the state I live in is so broke, they have strictly limited who qualifies for Medicaid. Because I have no children and am not pregnant, I don't qualify.
No, really. Yes, the state of American health care is that bad--the care itself is excellent, except that either people can't afford it, or people who are insured discover that insurance companies know a thousand ways to weasel out of paying for things. Yes, I know people like to scam others on the internet all the time. But she doesn't want your money. Instead, she's thought of a fairly painless, creative way to get someone else's money: projectdownload. Apparently MegaUpload will pay out $10,000 if you achieve 5 million downloads. This is limited to one download per unique user per day, but over the course of, let's say, ten days, you'd only need 500,000 people a day, if I'm understanding this correctly. It doesn't matter what she's put up there for you to download, so she's put up a very small, perfunctory text file that basically says, "Thank you for downloading this" (the actual text is also on her user profile page). I downloaded it myself just now, from a direct link she posted (you don't even have to go to MegaUpload's actual site at all; she knows how annoying the site can be), and it's a virus-free, spyware-free, malware-free text document. Absolutely painless, and now she's one download closer to the payout. Very easy."
This is the direct link. I've tested it, and it's NOT malware. It's just a simple txt file. It just takes two seconds of your time, and it's to save a life. Please? If you want to know more about it, check her community ->
