I am writing this post to inform all bloggers that these days a lot of scammers are scamming blog owners on the name of “Advertising Offer” or “Interested in Purchasing Text Links Advertising” or Advertising Offer Follow Up” etc.. If you receive a email which contains any of the above statements or any statements that is offering you money in return of text links then reject the offer on the spot.

Why?

Because the scammers want to add there links on your blog and then keep you engage in discussion so that the links can spend some time on your blog. I am personally targeted by a scammer and i was sure that the guy is going to scam me, but i was just checking that how he scam peoples.

The guy whose email address is ([email protected]) offered me $380 for 5 links on my blog home page for life time. I agreed and added the links on my blog. The next day he send me a mail that the links are not on the proper location, kindly please add the links in sidebar.I change the location.. Similarly he send me daily emails about different things. His aim was to keep me engage for weeks so that the links can spend some time on my blog.

But i was smart and added the links with nofollow attribute.

And one day i received another email from another scammer and he also offered me a deal in the same way. That he is interesting in purchasing text links on my blog. This time i told to send me the payment in advance, but he refused. In short this is a group of scammer who scam blog owners and build backlinks and traffic from high page rank and high trafficked blogs.

How to Avoid Such Scams?

1. First of all always remember purchasing and selling text links on your blog is danger for your blog. Google can impose penalty on your blog and you can lose your Page Rank.

2. In order to avoid such scams always ask for advance payment. Don’t provide your service to a unknown person without receiving your payment.

3. Google the name, email address and offer of the person so to find previous records of the person. For example if in the future this guy will try to scam another blog owner, the blog owner can find this article in google about the scammer.

4. Don’t deal with a person who has no online identity. First collect information about the person and then decide about the deal

  • Edwin did the same thing to me. I put the links up and two days later no payment was made I took them down and emailed him and no response. I’m never doing that again unless it’s from a verified PR company and payment is made before the links go up.

    Shiva@ I am happy that you searched about the person and found this article. If you got email from any other scammer, then don’t forget to write his/her email here with word “scam”. So that users can know about the scams.
