Huge Increase In SEO Services Spammers Using Gmail Accounts
There’s been a big increase in the number of people sending spam through Google Gmail accounts lately.
Many of them such as the ones I have listed below are offers for “white hat” SEO services including high pagerank blog links.
The funny thing is that they claim they can help you with SEO and not get you banned. If that were so good at white hat SEO why would they have to send spam to solicit business?
Some of these emails will even ask you to take certain actions to remove yourself from their mailing list. Don’t do it. If you did not sign up for their list then you should not be on their list.
Do not respond to these email messages in any for or fashion.
Online Fact: People who are truly good at what they do don’t have to spam to get business. If they were really good at SEO they could get all the traffic they could handle using legal means.
Here’s is a list of the spam email addresses as well as IP addresses.
Notice that there are many IP addresses grouped together.

I did an IP Lookup of the IP address my spam filter gave me for one of these bogus crap emails and they’re coming from India.
I did actually reply to one of the emails and never heard anything back. The emails themselves do not have any sign of a legitimate service such as an actual web address.
I have heard it’s possible that they are probing web contact forms for exploitable vunerabilities.
Now Mark Conway has started to spam forms

Here’s another one, same email different address.
haroldellis21@gmail.com
122.160.99.22
Why is it that Google does not offer a page where we can forward these emails (like spoof at payoal)?
Is there such a mechanism for this on Google – Gmail?
B
I think it’s so easy for anyone to create multiple gmail address that Google doesn’t bother much with people who use them for spam.
Here’ the latest one I’ve received.

Hi,
please add my i.d
The comment above was left by Alex.
I guess Alex fancies himself an SEO spammer. He listed some gmail addresses, but I’ll just list his IP address instead.
202.89.79.18
Alex also left a website address that was selling a male enhancement product
I always enjoy reading quality articles by an individual who is definately up to snuff on their chosen subject. I’ll be watching this thread with great interest. Keep up the great work, see you next time
This is one that I received through a contact form. I was typing up a reply and something told me to look into it before sending it. That is when I found this page, so I did not send it, Thank you guys.

Just received another “SEO Services – would like to evaluate and increase traffic on your website, please get back to us in order to discuss the possibility in further detail”
sender was harold.ellis020@gmail.com
Glad I checked (something didn’t seem right) and found your info…thanks.
Hi,
I’m glad that everyone is catching these and recognizing them as spam.
I personally do not know of a legitimate SEO company that would not include their website address in their solicitation. IF an SEO ompany knows what it is doing its own website should have an excellent ranking.
Harold ellis is back at it
HaroldEllis024@gmail.com
and yes, you can automate creating gmail accounts.
Thanks for the update, Jason.
Harold Ellis at it again!
