    I had a pm from someone called rmdoka who has 0 posts. It said....

    The site in question uses the google cloaking Pr trick as seen at http://pr10.darkseoteam.com

    Cloak for google, 301 redirect FROM sybexgames.com to sybex.com

    Check the cache + backlinks for sybexgames.com

    If you got this PM DONT get ripped off.

    Please note if for some reason I am way off base and wrong then let me know ASAP so I can delete this topic and apologise. I'm 99% sure I'm correct, I've seen it before but the web is a funny place :)

    I wonder how many other people are trying this? Be wary when buying links just for PR!

    Why has this been moved to Suggestions and Feedback? It's neither!

    I posted it in General chat where 'Anything your heart desires can be posted here.'

    Oh, I just noticed Rob did it, why Rob?

    Gahh

    When you receive unsolicited spammy private messages, just forward to a mod. List of mods found on http://forums.digitalpoint.com just above the list showing who is online. Link is labeled view forum leaders.
