Bailout Bill Gives Out Free Money To Financial Crisis Victims
Hundreds of New Yorkers waited in line for hours in Times Square yesteday to receive a generous gift from a man who calls himself "Bailout Bill." He handed out cold, hard cash to about 800 people today and yesterday.
Most got either $50 or $100 after telling him their stories about layoffs and other economic woes. But a few walked away with up to $3,000.
While the gesture was a publicity stunt for a classified ad web site bailoutbooth.com, the recipients didn't seem to mind.
To tell Bailout Bill your layoff or economic woe story, visit bailoutbooth.com and he'll decide to bail you out or not. And if you're lucky enough to be bailed out, he'll send you your money driectly!

I tried to go to bailoutbooth website and was unable to find it. Can you please help me.
Me and my family started in the shelter system and cant seem to rise above it. My husband went to school to recieve his Bachlors Degree and has been persistent in looking for employment but hasn't had any luck. Bills are becoming a major problem to pay. If you can help me and my 3 kids who all are under the age of 10. Any thing you can do for us is greatly appreciated, and that includes maybe a job for my husband.
Thank you

We are about to be evicted; what do I do?
I'm a single parent and I've been out of work since October, I would borrow money from my mom and boyfriend to pay for my rent and other bills. Once I get a job I would have to pay them back. It is really embarrassing and sad that it came to this point where i don't have money to pay for anything anymore.

This is a scam I've tried numerous times using 2 different E-mail addresses and phone calls where the voicemail doesn't even have a prompt for you to leave a message. You can't get on the website to leave a message on they're blog yet now they have your information to sale you something later which in this economy you don't have the money to pay for it. When and if you hear from them.
