"an illegal plan for making money, especially one that involves tricking people:"
owning a faucet is not a illegal, and no it did not involve tricking people you would be stupid to think that paying 3000 satoshi every hour per people is okay how about stop being stupid and blaming others for you again being stupid.
It would not matter if another faucet that payed 50,000 satoshi you would still sign up and bitch when you dont get the free satoshi.
Again, let me remind you that you're wasting your breath with these noobs. These are the kinds of tools that will go around to all the faucet announcement threads and say "I think your payment is a little low. You should raise it to 10,000 satoshi every 5 minutes".
