!!blue Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Got this email today and wanted to know if this is spam, a cold-call type of email, or worst... Date: Thu, 27 May 2004 20:10:22 -0700From: Ritchie F [*******]To: webmaster Subject: zoblue.com I am contacting you about cross linking. I am interested in your site because it looks like it's relevant to a site for which I am seeking links. The site belongs to a company providing colocation services from their state of the art facility in San Diego. This company works to provide reliable business internet solutions at an affordable price. I'll keep the web address confidential and will send it to you only if you give me permission to do so. Just let me know if it's OK, and I'll send you the web address for your review. If you approve of the site, then the intention is to exchange links. Looking forward to your reply. Sincerely, Ritchie F. [*********] h**p://www.link-builder.com Experts in Quality Link Building P.S. If for any reason you don't want me to contact you again, email me with the words "NO EMAIL" as the subject of your message.

TCH-Dick Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Yes, its spam. I get them all of the time. Its a pay service that people who dont know any better sign up for to get their links placed on other sites in exchange for links back to their site. The first thing that would tip me off is they dont tell you the link to the site they are claiming is relevant to your site. Quote
Deverill Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Check out their FAQ page at www.link-builder.com/faq.html to see more about what they're about. It is a legitimate offer to exchange links, but they are spamming you in that it is UCE - Unsolicited Commercial Email. I have had 1 request and refused it but would be open to others... if I'm in a good mood. Quote

Deverill Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Thanks! I always get emails that offer the creation of a customized logo for my site. Yeah, I have an email filter for the word "logo" it got so bad. I hope no one asks me in email how to logout or something! Quote
