I get quite a bit of spam and I never ever respond to any offer. Take a look at the email address. this comes from a gmail account and not from a website. STRIKE ONE!!

He says: he can "increase the traffic to your site at a fifth of what you are paying right now." One fifth? I'm not paying thousands to promote my website, so this one/fifth figure is absurd. STRIKE TWO.

I did a search on his mailing address...uh uh uh. The address is a UPS Store. He oviously rents a mail box there. Matter of fact, this guy is running quite a bit of scams out of this location. STEEEERIKE THREE.
