Default Re: Here's a new LINK SCAM for link exchange and three-way linking, Has anyone seen t

I'm guessing this scammer looked on Google to find sites that linked to yours. Fortunately, this means all you have to do to avoid future scams like this is do a similiar search.

Were a webmaster to just add your link to their site, it would not be indexed with the link yet. And thus would not appear. If it is indexed, you can be fairly sure that the webmaster is scamming you.

There is a small margin of error here, but if you just received the email chances are they just added the link as well. I have not known webmasters to email other websites much later than the link has been added - nor have I known Google to be particularily often in it's indexing of these types of pages.

And of course they wont reply to your 'did you design that' email. The fact you asked that means you are suspicious of them and anything they say will not help their situation.
