I recently received an email from this list. It looked legit – like it came from the sign up on my website. Although I replied to ask what services was of interest, didn’t receive a reply. Thanks for monitoring this type of illegal activity.

Hey Ken,

Thanks for stopping by. I think some people are probably starting to use IP blocking.

Hi Joe,

Smart thinking. I received one from someone the other day that looked very legitimate and even had a phone number. Amazingly this person did not have a website to visit and find out more details.

For the record here’s an example of a real SEO company’s website: http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/

I always ignore any SEO offer without a branded email address. I’m not letting someone with no website, market mine.

I usually get one of these SEO messages every week. And it appears that the spammer always uses the telephone number “0120120120″. I am curious if anyone has simply created and installed code to discard any contact form email that contained that phone number. It seemed too simple but I am curious. I also thought about blocking all IP addresses from India but again it seemed too simple.

Hi Barry,

Re:”I guess it’s just too easy for robots to create so many gmail addresses”
It certainly looks that way.
