    contacted by a certain service provider

    Hello guys. I've received an email today from a link building company (SEO) in regards to outsourcing with them.

    Apparently, they have visited one of my websites and got the impression that I am an online service provider. I've looked at the website but I still don't know what they offer or do. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks.

    I do not see why they would contact YOU. Sounds like a scam to me.

    They'll keep on bugging you, that is what spammers do. The site is too simple to be serious.

    A friend of mine also got an email from these guys...I'm pretty sure it's just a scam. There's english mistakes/awkward sentences all over the site, and no precise physical location info and no contact information except a few emails and social networking links.

    Good sir, I advise you just ignore it. Only trust businesses that are reputable and that you seek THEM out.

    Which is more important in obtaining the truth, "what" or "why"? Trick question. They are of equal importance.
    Freely ye have received, freely give.

    Maybe you could scam them back. Suggest that youcould link to them. Pull them for a ride, and just when they think they've got their ducks in a line,[/I] and will have so many new people scam, call the deal off. Then post it on 419eater.com.

    Maybe they (or their software) made a guess based on your email address ?
    That's probably how ki4jgt got addressed as owner of www.gmail.com
