I've been suffering from a deluge of recent ad offers that are actually just scam and spam artists.

Figured I'd share the word with all my Yakezie friends. Watch out!

I'm playing ball with one right now that I'm afraid is a scammer.  I'll let it play out though.  Claims to be a UK media company (interested in my American-oriented blog??) but the advertising rep has a Philippines IP address.  Could be an outsourced employ.  The grammar is okay, which isn't typical for a nigerian style scammer. 

 

Haha. Nevermind, you have the exact same person talking with you. 

 

I'll let you know what I see from this company.
