this sound like a scam to you? | The Compost Bin | Forums

So I received this e-mail last night

Hi,

Good day!

I'm Sheena and I'm contacting you for a possible advertising opportunity. Will you place a link to my site supatank.com.au on your site http://thehomesteadi.....nt-system/ ? Your site as well as your readers will benefit from our increased traffic and your readers/visitors will love the referral to our relevant information.

Thanks,

Sheen

I responded back.

Good evening Sheena, or Morning as it were for you.

What were you thinking as far as advertising?

Also, I am curious as to how you found our site?

Kyle

She responded back

Hello Kyle,

Well yeah it's Morning here. Good evening (did I guess it right? )to

you there Kyle. Where did I found your site? Just doing searching here

sir Kyle. Anyway, about advertising thingy.. I'm referring to a banner

ad or just a simple textual link to your page

http://thehomesteadi.....nt-system/ .

I'm hoping I can get any of those above mentioned since we won't involve

monetary value here. Yes, you read it right.. we won't give out money

instead we would love to do something for you. Due to Google updates, we

won't do paid links 'coz we can't afford our site to be penalized.

Is there something on your mind sir that we can do for you? Something

that can benefit you, your site (our site as well) and to your readers

too? A promo maybe for rainwater harvesting tanks? Or an advertisement

to our blogs? We can also check your site and get rid of those "broken

links" that might risk your site's traffic..

I want to know your ideas too sir. I really like your site 'coz it's

relevant to ours.

Looking forward to do business with you.

Regards,

Sheen

the wording on her response seems "off"

other flag was she contacted me initially by e-mailing through domains by proxy, yet we have a contact form right at the top of the site here. I googled the site she listed and there are no immediate flags, thoughts? Am I gonna get a visit from some nigerian prince?

I'm thinking they are going to try and give me a ad with a nasty script built into it
