I'm getting a lot of link purchase requests with the same template

    Lately I'm getting a lot of link purchase requests with the same template. It's more or less like this:

    I got a lot of those (sometimes a bit different but the same concept) for different sites of mine.
    The email they ask to reply to is always different than the email it shows it was sent from.

    Obviously it's some automatic source that sends these.. Does anyone know what is it exactly ?

    At the beginning i was replying because i thought that even if it's automatic mass mail it may be a genuine offer but i didn't get answers..

    Now i'm getting a few of those every day and it has become realy annoying..

    Anyone else have noticed this ? Know what the source ?

    Thanks,
    E-A.

    Probably.. But why would anyone spam with link purchase requests ? :) Looking for answers of $1/month ? :p

    Actually it might be a good idea to reply to one of these with "$1/month" and see if it'll will attract an answer.. ;)

    b.t.w - I'm getting these through contact forms on my sites.. Not direct emails

    the first reason for me is they are collecting "true" email accounts. once they got the reply, your email will be sent a LOT more rubbish.

    what kind of contact form are you using? some forms are easily spammed ;)
