Hi,

I wanted to shoot you a quick note regarding your website. If you want I can make a few changes (aesthetically and/or SEO-wise) to make your site convert more visitors into leads
and to get it placed higher in the organic search results, for a few of the select terms.

Pocket Friendly pricing

I would just need if you're open to checking out information about SEO. Would you be open to seeing more brief info/quote for what I would like to accomplish?

What's the best phone number to reach you at?

Best Regard,

Michael Wilson



Please kindly email back if you wish to be removed.

Your attempt at soliciting me was absolutely pathetic. First, things that must be addressed when trying to sell someone cold is some background, where are you? why are you talking about my stuff? what do you do for a living? link to your site or business so that I can check it out?
Like I say your solicitation is pathetic. The name at the bottom of your letter or email is different from the name on the email address that is an alarm bell. Pretty much everything about this solicitation email is absolutely pathetic.
I am wondering why I need to be removed when I never was put on in the first place at least not with my permission or knowledge of.

Hi Greg,
I get those all the time. Spam will never go away. Don't let it get to you. He might have gotten your email off your site. I agree that taking you off the list you never signed up for is ridiculous but it's also a fact that these type of solicitors are out there trolling sites trying to get business.

Never feed the trolls. All you did by replying back was confirming to the troll nation that your e-mail address is active.

Yes I talked to a friend today about the email and he said that they get through reply's the knowledge that they have an active email address and they are fishing basically. So I guess that any such email in the future will just get deleted and not a second thought.

Spam filters are your friend

Don't ever open or click on links in those kind of things.

I'd run MalwareBytes or something similar right away.

The less interaction, the better. It is kind of like dealing with a raging person. Regardless of what you do, it is probably not going to be a good outcome, unless you just stay away.
