    Recently I have been getting emails that seem a bit fishy to me. They look like this.


    or

    Now http://britishcashadvance.co.uk/ isn't even up yet and cashadvancelinkdirectory.com is some half assed directory.

    Any idea if these are legit or do you get them? I don't accept ads on my site anyways but I dont want to reply get end up on some spam list either.

    Just delete them. Filtering would be good too.

    Spam seems to be on the increase in the past few weeks, at least for me.

    Sounds like spam to me. You may wish to blacklist and filter the email add if it keeps coming in. I have been receiving quite a bit of spam recently as well.

    They may be worth a reply... I had a similar email to this before, but the site happened to be related to mine, and they turned out to be a monthly paying advertiser. If not you really didn't waste too much time.

    Do not Avoid them!!! Read this email I got some months ago;

    After receiving this mail, I replied to them. Got reply next day. Then after senting and receiving of 10-12 mail (time taken-2 weeks) they sent me a payment of 450$ for advertisement. Still did not know who they are, where they are. Only their email id is with me. But I really liked the dealing with them.

    So, my suggestion is; know more what they are offering. You will not lose anything just for spending 5 minutes to right back. This is a suggestion only, dont blame me if any thing goes wrong...........

    The payday loan industry is predatory lending. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I accepted their money and helped them.
