Yep, these people contact you and ask to place an ad, or ads, on your site/blog. They offer you amounts of money that seem too good to be true…and they are. For example: they offer you $100 to place one or two really crappy ads for, say, a fishing trip in Alaska or hotel deals…the ads are very poorly worded and the bad grammar gives the game away.
Then they ask for your PayPal details - Do Not Give Them!
Here’s what others are saying about Gr-Ads.com around the online world, just follow these links:
Advertising company Gr-Ads-Something Smells Fishy
Several of the employees are currently leaving comments on this site posing as ’satisfied customers’…here are some examples…they are all fake artists!
The below one is from ‘ShanNing’…if you can believe it…
“My friend got the email from Gr Ads too, he told me that he has been got the money via PayPal.
I searched about Gr, it is a company that buy/sell inner text link on blogs, but normal, it cost about 25 US dollars per links.
You have a great blog, because your links worth more than 25 US dollars. I hope someone buy my blog’s links too”
Note the bad english…more…this one is from ‘Michelle’…these people are desperate!
“Hi, I got ads from them before. For a small blogger like me, that’s a huge amount. So I have no complaint. Btw, those photos of the ladies are real. I think they are studio photos, photoshop. Everyone will look pretty after being photoshop. I know one of the employees personally (a very good friend of mine) and Gr-ads is not a scam. ”
And from ‘Marina’…
“I was approached by the same company a few months back and was quite happy with the set-up and to be frank, it may not be for everyone but it worked for me at the time!”
Yeah right…these people are trying to save their backsides…

Their site uses fake photographs - their employees are not the girls in the pictures and they also have very poor PR skills and very bad spelling.
If you get an email from Kristen, Christina or whoever from Gr-ads.com or Grassroots Advertising then here is my advice…ignore them - delete them!!
They are after your email address for spam purposes.
They operate from Albany, New York - thank god for my feedjit who told me this…I will have their ISP soon and will share it.

Kofi Annan is the black leader of the United Nations yet does not care; he did not give a damn about the Rwandans slaughtered back in the 90’s so what is new…?
‘Saint’ Nelson Mandela could not give a stuff as he has already destroyed South Africa, and he has his 90th birthday coming up - so he also does not want to be bothered…
George W follows in the footsteps of Bill Clinton…’who gives a shit about Africa’ - there is no oil in Zimbabwe so why should we bother !!…
Gordon Brown quite simply has no idea at all…he is currently watching his own nation disappearing down the sewer of crime, debt and despair…and this man expects to be re-elected leader of Great Britain…
The most evil and repulsive mass murderer since Adolph Hitler ( of all time in my opinion so ugly and vile he is ) is alive and well and terrorising Zimbabwe - those who are not starving to death are being murdered…women, children, babies…
And not one leader from The West will do a damn thing about it. This cretin is more vile a being than Saddam Hussein ever was, and he was hanged…yet they still do nothing.
Forget race; forget ‘black’, forget ‘white’…who has the balls to go into Zimbabwe and rid the world of Robert Mugabe…before it is all too late!
After the ‘Holocaust’ we all heard it said…” It must never happen again “…
The same was said after Rwanda, and Kosovo and Bosnia and Sarajevo…it is happening again. Because no-one will do anything about it. Unless there’s a bit of oil at stake…

The answers to such a question could fill a book I suppose; some people might propose the car, some people might answer air travel and others may be convinced that television is the best innovation ever.
I am going to say what I think has been man’s most significant invention of modern day times…technology-wise of course. The Camera.
Just think about it. Up until the very first camera’s were created back in the 19th century the only way for man to record history and events was through the written word and art(painting). We only have an idea of what Henry VIII looked like through those who painted his portraits; we only have an idea of what the Battle of Waterloo or Trafalgar seemed like because of those who captured those events on canvas - and even then those artists used their imagination as to how the action would have been.
Photography changed everything through capturing the actual image of a person or event on paper. Until the 1800’s the history of man, the planets and universe existed only in books; through the camera we have been able to record an entire century. The people, the events, the best and the worst moments in those times and they are all on film.
And the camera itself has evolved in order to record our history more effectively - from the lithograph and the daguerrotypes, to the studio camera, the box brownie to the portable self-developing cameras to those today with their flash memory and memory cards. The Camera has come a long way just as humankind has; it has captured for prosperity man’s greatest achievements such as walking on the moon - it has also captured the worst times in man’s history and shall serve to remind us all whenever we choose to forget.
Surely it can be said that the camera signalled a second age in the history of mankind? and all thanks to two French men - Charles & Vincent Chevalier - who invented this little gadget and made it all possible.
