18. Has anyone ever tried to extort you?

Yes and they succeeded.
Back in the days when I ran a clothing factory and it's the reason I went bankrupt.
These days I'm a bit more careful, if I buy custom content, design or programming we pay when the goods are delivered and approved. Or we put it on my Visa so if the goods do not arrive as ordered I can charge back.
But I often get idiots approach me with a mailing list off 50K active webmasters. Idiots do not think for themselves and realise I have a mailing list and know how many are active and how hard it would be to collect that many. They disappear when I offer them a cut from the mailing rather than a straight purchase.
