I heard this interesting story about a couple of entrepreneurs from Europe. After having lost their jobs, they planned to launch a new startup which would sell pornographic cd’s featuring top stars at a very low price!. This drew the attention of a lot of excited folks and hence they decided to get themselves a copy.

The entrepreneurs were amazed! They never expected such an overwhelming response! . However, they had very little stock,enough to serve only about 5% of the requests. But the mastermind act comes here! Instead of trying to serve the remaining 95% requests, they put out a banner on their homepage which read

“Sorry, we ran out of stock. We will refund your amount if you request us to do”.

But, almost none wanted to request for a refund! Why ? – for the simple reason they did not want to have a transaction in their account statement which read

Debit X pound from Pornographic community enterprise

and the amount they spent was also pretty low!

Lol! And they enjoyed all their free money! I guess they were caught later! I understand entrepreneurs should be innovative, but this was, well…..
