I did — and guess what — it is (sur­prise / surprise!!)

I received an email today from (XX com­pany — I will not name them because I don’t want to pro­mote them)

First, never click links in an email unless you know who is send­ing the email. Even if you know the per­son, if the link(s) does not look right DO NOT click on it. If you want to check it out copy it and paste it in the browser address line — best way is right back to them .com end­ing with­out the extension.

The email said:

We’ve seen your web­site at (XXXX) and we love it! We see that your traf­fic rank is XXXX and your link pop­u­lar­ity is XXX. Also, you have been online since XXX. With that kind of traf­fic, we will pay you up to $4,800/month to adver­tise our links on your web­site. If you’re inter­ested, read our terms from this page:

You bet I was excited to see “up to $4,800 a month” — me — who knows that when it comes to the inter­net that if some­thing sounds too good to be true it is

Any­ways, I decided to do some research and this is what I found:

This ‘per­son’, who cre­ated this, has actu­ally cre­ated a “tier affil­i­ate pro­gram” and they, or one of their affil­i­ates, has con­tacted you to recruit you into this ‘scam’ of an affil­i­ate pro­gram. Bot­tom line this is spam and they want you to join and be a spam­mer as well. Don’t fall for it. Just delete or report it.

Always remem­ber, IF some­thing sounds too good to be true, it prob­a­bly is.
