A few days ago I got an email that caught my attention. It was similar to some of the emails I’ve gotten in the past. It was regarding a request to include an article that they created and wanted me to link it into one of the articles on my site.

Or at least I think that’s what it was.

You see, this email was cryptic and poorly written. Here’s the full email with the links and article titles removed:

Hello there,

I was researching my next article and came across your post: “[edit: article name]” — [edit: my article link](awesome article by the way)

I noticed that you [Compititor topic] — [Compititor URL]

Just wanted to give you a heads up that you are promoting the organization that’s been working for finance, money saving, debt relief and etc.

Even I am working for [edit: article name]: [edit: their article link]

We provide honest and trustworthy perspective programs for debt relief. We are driven by reviews left by those who have struggled through finding the right debt program and have dealt with too many debt settlement companies.
