Hello,
As I was surfing around google , I discovered your website: http://www.(Domain Removed).com I am trying to add as many informative websites as possible to my site. Which in turn will benefit my users as well as provide you with relevant traffic to your site. I have a website with about 5,000 - 7,000 people on it per day who fit the same demographic as your site.

If you follow this link, http://www.torontorealestatedirect.com (link actually goes to: http://www.torontorealestatedirect.com/?pg=HLHDe) you will see that I put your link on my homepage. Some website owners do not like when other sites link to them so I thought I might ask for your review.

Please get back to me when you have a chance, to let me know if the link I have placed suits your needs. Also if you would like a custom Title for it just send me a email and I will get it updated.
Have a good week,

So here is the kicker someone else gets the same email and the embedded link changes the results as to which sites are listed as links so you think they gave you links when in fact they didn’t!

Anyone else get am email from these scammers? Please post the actual link as a comment (with the “?pg=” part in it)

Interesting how I see that this site has 68,594 inbound links according to Yahoo:

SO WHERE ARE THE OTHER OUTBOUND LINKS? Can you say link scam and a real bad neighborhood to link in and out of?

Google spam team, yahoo spam and MSN live spam team take a look at these folks!

For now their host: Illusivecreations.Com who looks very suspiciously like a front company claims that torontorealestatedirect.com is just a customer. We are awaiting a return call from them after their "investigation".

Another point of interest is that Illusivecreations.Com claims to be an SEO company that can get you a "Higher Google Page Ranking".
