I received a 'fantastic ' offer, that will make me rich.

All I have to do is supply a profit share website with images and they'll 'reward' me.

I had a look, (yes, yes, I was bored this morning), and there are a number of people from the fetish community who upload their images. every time someone clicks on an image set, the 'model' gets a point. They only need 100 points to get one whole euro! I worked it out to be 250,000 hits before I'd cover the cost of a shoot. BUT, the site does get thousands of hits every day. I know this because they told me!
the serious bit....
The offer looks quite good on paper, until you start working it out. The income is split 50:50, so sounds quite generous. This 'profit share' idea has been around for quite a while, most of the models who've tried it, end up with nothing. Those who run the sites, of course, get 50% of everyone's income and so make a reasonable return. Please be warned, and think carefully before uploading any images. Oh, and be sure to read the terms and conditions carefully.
Also remember that if you don't own the copyright, you could end up in court and with a big bill.

If you are concerned that your images may be copied and used anywhere else etc., There's a free program that will batch resize and watermark....http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDetail.htm

If you'd like to check and see if your images appear where they shouldn't, you can try http://tineye.com/ This looks for an image and searches the sites in it's lists, which are growing all the time. Not a guarentee, but useful none the less

It is extremely risky to even open those emails. For your own safety, kids, don't "have a look". Save "curious" for what's in the back of the fridge.

This marvelous offer was via a PM. But I know what you mean about emails
