Hi folks, Ive started getting link requests from sites (Free hosted) with abysmal English, pages created by Webspawner and lloking like a Nigerian spam letter, have you guys seen these as well???
I suppose its flattery that our sites are getting more visible - but they really are a total waste of webspace.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
Keep well

I get some suspect link requests, too and just recently an ad I placed in an on-line Boston paper started directing some really awful E-mails to me (things like, I" would like to buy your PUPS I am a veterinarian. Please send your last price and tell the other buyer they are all sold" - yeah like I'd let you near my puppies!!!). Who would've thought they'd bother with an advertisement for shih poo puppies? I can't even imagine what they wanted to get out of it. I wish I could give you a recommendation, but all I have to offer is sympathy!

I bet they also offered to have the pups picked up by FedEx once you received their fraudulent check.
