    Well I suppose I just got the PM from this 'guy' There were 4 others in the sent to field -all in alphabetical order. If he is going down the list he is up to the M's now

    He sent one to me with the following CC:

    AGS, EGS, ferret77, fsmedia, KingofKings

    Looks like he's after the big hitters with many posts.

    I told him/her to make me an offer. :)

    Who cares about the amount of posts? As long as the money hits your paypal what is there to lose?

    Its not the signature links that they would be after.

    Instead they would be after the paypal addresses or other information

    Anyway, selling sig links is fine but I don't have the time for it.

    But, it wouldn't make you at all suspicious that someone with zero posts sends 30,000 pms asking to by sig links?:D

    nah i think ull find that aint google. that is just somebody who likes the amount of posts you have, and wants to take advantage by having their link at the bottom of all your posts. a lot of people sell their sigs on here.

    I agree with you. But the way it was done would make a reasonable person suspicious.
