The initial arrangement was that I would write an article a day and get paid when the articles were up to ten. After writing the first three articles, he asked me if I would like to write more than one article per day. I said yes. He then asked me to state the number of articles I could write everyday. I told him I could write three articles per day.He also explained to me that they would re-assig n each topic to another writer if I did not write and submit the article within five working days.

Well up to this point, it was encouraging and interesting. On up the other hand, a thought crept into my head"what if this was a scam? What if after writing and submitting these articles, he refused to pay me? What will I do?" I also thought that the whole writing job would stop after the first article.

On the other hand, I said to myself"nothing ventured, nothing gained". I would risk it and see how it goes.There is no harm in trying. This motivated me to keep writing the articles. I told myself that if eventually he did not pay for my service, I would cancel the agreement and pitch my tent with another website. I would also not be dissapointed because I knew that an average Nigerian would always like to scam the next man and play a fast one on him.
