Whether it's Word, Excel or Powerpoint, Corrupted-Files.com have the file for you! For just US$3.95 (reduced from US$5.95 till the end of June), you can buy a selection of corrupted files that includes 2, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 page documents.

Hang on. Why would anyone pay for a file containing scrambled and unrecoverable data? To buy time, of course!

How it Works!

Step 1: After purchasing a file, rename the file e.g. Mike_Final-Paper.

Step 2: Email the file to your professor along with your "here's my assignment" email.

Step 3: It will take your professor several hours if not days to notice your file is "unfortunately" corrupted. Use the time this website just bought you wisely and finish that paper!!!

Note: The only difference between each Word file is its file size, because it will look a bit odd if your 10 page term paper is only 1k in size! Yes, we thought of everything! We guarantee and stand by our product!

Don't you just love the internet?

one of the things i love about the net is how it encourages innovation and rewards those who give it a go, even the conman, be it a new or old con. my only complaint is that while the net is so free we never know who or what we can trust. there's a difference between selling someone something they can get for free or a better price elsewhere and stealing from them by not providing what they are entitled too. we need better ways to police the net so that people aren't ripped off. some kind of international net police with international laws and punishments. i can but dream...

I recall a similar service that did this for free, though I can't remember the name of it.
