Re:Show HN: Pay €1000 to contact the super rich on Saturday June 25, 2016 @03:11PM (#11977545)
Just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. A user subscribes to the service by 'renting' a contact form for €10 per year.

Messages to that contact form are forwarded to an email address that the user provides; the email address is completely private and never disclosed. Then for someone to send a message to the user via the contact form, they must pay a fee set by the user which has a minimum requirement of €1000.

This is where I'm confused - on the landing page it says that the user doesn't get paid the fee. Does this €1000 fee go to the service provider (a-retfact.com)? If the person's time is so valuable (as marketed on the site), I'm confused as to why the fee wouldn't be going to them instead of the contact form 'host'. Seems like a steep price to pay for a rudimentary level of obscurity that could be set up easily on your own.. or am I missing something here?
