Let me paint the picture for you. You spent the last 8 hours perfecting a killer linkbait. You’re proud of your work. You think it’s going to do well on Digg, it collects some votes…
…a few hour later, you receive an email from someone claiming that he’ll get your account deleted and your article removed from Digg if you don’t pay him $1000.
Well, not having $1000 to spend, and not believing for a second that this is for real, you ignore it…
…and then bang, your story’s gone, your account has been deleted….(more)
This is on the front page of Digg right now, but for how long?
