2:09:11 AM Jesse: merlia please message me back, i think there was a misunderstanding
 


I love how these indians always call you their "friend" even after you send them to 2girls1cup...
 
sounds like the indian was just trying to do some hard labour intensive work, just for some backlinks, what's wrong with that??

He's hardly a nigerian 419 scammer now is he???

I think you were a bit rude and have too much time on your hands tbh,

If you don't want design work (clearly you don't because you are a designer), why don't you just say so from the beginning, instead of wasting peopl's time.

Maybe it's just me, but I think it's a 'bit rude' to message someone randomly and offer your services, regardless of if it's for a link exchange. I think they have a word for that, it's 'spam' - Right? Would it also be rude to kill a fly for buzzing all up in my grill?
 
I had a chat with guy/girl (?) on Yahoo some days back, trying to do some logo's for some backlinks. I really don't understand why ? Last time I had her visit makemoniesonline (.) com as the site I am looking to copy.
 
If you come from India you are a seo specialist.. Havent meet a single one who isnt.
 
your ina wrong forum dude

Because people randomally IMing you on the vague hope you want a certain service is obnoxious?
It'd be different if he said he was looking for a designer.
 
Bofu needs to get his ass in here and post up his experience from a few days back... Now THAT was fucking hilarious... Ugh...
 
I've had a few random IMs from India also wanting to do my design work in exchange for links...

I asked if I could look at a folio, and they got all cagey.
Great business approach: Randomly irritate people, don't show them any samples, and then get all pissy when they tell you to go away and stop wasting their time

zlatan: At least they're not offering free ringdings.
