Ashwin ‘The Crook’ Khanna

August 25, 2007 – 2:47 am

I am sure by now everyone who has participated in the $2500 link baiting contest would know that it was all a scam. When I first posted my entry on my blog, I too questioned if Ashwin would see it through.

I mean, $2500 is a lot of money and this guy even needs people to chip in to subsidize his website hosting. My own hosting was only $10 a year and it’s now even free and here’s this guy asking for donations and then saying that he would give away $2500. He has got to be kidding. I was even telling a friend that if he really has a winner, we won’t even know if the $2500 is in American Dollars or some other weak currency.

Anyway, Phil from Contest Blogger left me a comment and I believe, all who entered the contest, saying that Ashwin is full of crap. Well, I am a gambler and although I figured that he may be crapping, I still wanted to have an entry in, just in case. In reply to his comment, I said that time will tell. Nobody can escape from time and true enough, 20th August 2007 came around. I did not bother checking Ashwin’s site until a fellow blogger told me that Ashwin’s winner has a blog with a miserable blog post that is the entry to the contest and then followed by a copy & paste news report.

Ashwin may think that he is a genius in the game but this is such a stale trick. I feel sorry for people who had their hopes high thinking that they had a shot at $2500. To me, my entry was just another “interim” post and luckily I do not feel as if I was “cheated”.

Phil is giving away $100 to one blogger who has participated in the $2500 contest, if you would only edit the link to Ashwin’s post to Phil’s post. This is a smart idea but it’s GENUINE. So good luck to you all!
