What is it with these alleged web promo companies

[DewChugr]

I get these all the time, I'm sure you do.

How good can they be if they have to use a generic email address and I can't find their company on google. Usually they don't even mention their company name like this dipshit.

Seriously if your going to try and scam people you'd think you'd put enough effort to at least appear as though you had a clue.

What I love is the way that the message is so clearly unsolicited that they don't even have your site's address.

Sadly, there are a lot of mum & dad businesses that are going to fall for this shit.

SEO has suddenly become really big business, and there are even SEO companies advertising on tV here now. Prime time advertising too. I saw a couple ads during Law & Order
