Orkut invites are now being sold on eBay as a way to get to Gmail:
***10 Invitations to Orkut ~ Key to Gmail Invitation***
What on earth would anyone do with 10 Orkut invitations? Even if the idea is that you could join Orkut and talk someone there (a Google employee? a gmail early adopter?) into sending you an invitation, how would the other nine identites help?
Is this a newer, more interesting form of Fakesters? Or just a quick way of making a buck? (The fact that Orkut invites don't seem to be getting bids suggests that this sell isn't working: 20 Orkut invites is going for a penny, as is one GMail account.
