The owner of a U.S. social network is offering to pay Indian workers 10 cents per signup to his site. In these times, the seemingly fraudulent come-on is a sensible business move, since investors willingly pay inflated prices for sites based on their user numbers. A suggestion to any venture capitalist with a social network in his portfolio: Bid 11 cents per signup to find out who this guy is.
