What kind of person calls a "flirt line"? EDIT: Sketchy, never mind.

So, in my constant search for more income (especially at this time, during holiday season), I stumbled across this ad: Intelligent, talkative female for flirt line - no phone sex .

How bad could that be? I would never do the phone sex thing, but if someone wants to pay me $2-3 a minute to *talk* to me... why not? There's gotta be a catch somewhere, but I can be paid to talk about my life, political/philosophical issues, etc., I'm game.

Just out of curiousity, though... who on earth would pay $2-3 just to *talk* to someone? :(

I would imagine that there are a lot of people who try to hide a lot of emptiness in their lives. However, that job, provided it's for real, just sounds.. wrong.

Asian, college students are especially considered, as men consider them more intelligent, talkative, and fun to speak to.

Interesting. You can be anyone you want to be on the phone... this is ludicrous.

I e-mailed him saying I'm a 23 y/o Asian female and requested more info. He just sent me this:

"You sound like my perfect candidate! You sound like the type that would generate a large number of callers.

In terms of getting started: The way it would work is that you would provide a three paragraph description of yourself, in a flirtatious way, along with a good, clear, and appealing picture. After that is provided, I can then get in the process of adding your listing, and then providing you with a phone number to access the network, along with a PIN to turn your line on or off to callers. You have the ability to turn your calls on or off anytime you'd like. And yes, you would be able to work from home.

You also will then send 5% of your earnings back to me through Paypal.

If you can, provide a number so I can speak with you. After that, then I can get this listing live.

Michael"


Hrm.

Your threads and your "make some extra money" scheme never cease to amaze me, and I've only been here less than a year, I can only imagine the possibilities of what will be coming up.....can't wait ;)

Edit: And to answer your question of who would call? Lonely people who just want to feel like they have a friend and that someone cares about them....is that so wrong? I would imagine it would be a lot of repeat callers.

That isn't wrong at all, I suppose. Maybe I'll check it out and brighten the lives of lonely callers who need a friend. For... $2-3/minute. :p

We all "sell ourselves" in different ways. Even those who are self-employed sell their time, skills, etc. to make money. I work 9-6 "selling myself" doing contracts, and if I can make some extra money "selling my opinions" via phone, why not? :)

I e-mailed him again requesting:

1. A link to the website where customers will be finding the number (if it's sketchy or affiliated with any "xxx" site, I won't do it).

2. A breakdown of how I'll be paid/customers will send payment.

3. More details in general.

I have a hard time believing anyone would even call though. But you never know with the type of people in this world.

I'm sure prostitutes justify themselves the same way. Power to 'em.

Not sure if I'm going to do it yet. Just got this reply:

"You can use your cell phone number. If you receive calls, you will be paid via check. No one will know your number. I will fill out the administrative information online.

The way it would work is that you would provide a photo and a description of yourself and then I would upload it to the web. I would not change any of the wording, except for typographical errors. You would give the image you want to provide to others.

Michael"

He didn't answer my inquiry for the website where he's goingn to upload my supposed pic/info, and I'm getting kinda weird vibes. Just e-mailed him again for it, awaiting his response.

seriously tho, i would stay away. it sounds too iffy. how secure is the website? what if you get some crazed stalker that manages to get your number? Is it worth the extra bucks for the holidays? i dunno, maybe i'm just overly paranoid
