I like the way he starts and thought of sharing with you'll.
 


I get the same fucking copy and paste spam email all the time through my contact forms. Sometimes there are slight variations, but for the most part it's the same.

Dear Head of Business Development at _____,

Were you aware that you are paying every time your online marketing advertisement is clicked? It hurts! I know, as many of our clients have shared this frustration when I first talked to them about how to drive more quality prospects to their sites - without having to constantly pay for every click.

I thought you might like to know some of the reasons why you are not getting more organic (FREE) search engine traffic for ______

1. Your home page rank is 2, this can be improved further.

2. Your title is 66% relevant. This can be improved for higher Google ranking.

3. Your SEO score is 75%. This can be improved as implementing on and off-page factors will fetch better results in major search engines.

If you can stomach more bad news about what your site needs, and are curious to know what our working together would involve, then I would be glad to provide you with further detailed analysis in the form of a SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO) SITE REPORT - FREE OF CHARGE. I would first need to know that you are serious about using our services, as the report would involve several hours of our research.

To brief you about the company, we are an ISO 9001 certified team of over 500 SEO specialists in the USA, UK, Australia and India and would like to talk with you about how you should be winning new business from the search engines, without paying advertisers over and over again for it.

SEO is not instantaneous, it is not free, but it is the only sensible internet marketing choice. Your return on investment (ROI) after 6 months of SEO will be at least 3 times that of paid advertisements, and many times greater than our cost. In fact, we guarantee that in the first month of our work you will see an improvement in ranking, link popularity and traffic or we'll work for free until you do! Our clients' consistently tell us that their customers find them because they are at the top of Google. Being on the top left of Google (#1- #5 Organic positions) is the best thing you can do for your company's website traffic and online reputation.

Ironically, It’s very likely that had you spent your last 6 months of online marketing dollars on SEO instead of paid advertising that you would have 3 times or greater the traffic today and not need the paid advertising at all.

Fortunately you can still start today and begin getting that traffic in just a few weeks. We look forward to discussing our SEO plans with you.

Sounds interesting? Feel free to email us or alternatively you can provide your best time and phone number to call you.

Best Regards,
Ray

PS1: This is onetime email and we won’t contact you if you don’t respond to this email. You may also ask us for “REMOVE”.
PS2: We found your site from online advertisements but did not click the Ad to visit.
PS3: We work 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. So we will send more details on “our company profile”, “client references”, “case studies”, “why you should choose us?”, “price list”, “guarantee” etc. upon getting positive response from you.

Like if you ask for "remove" they will actually remove you and not spam you more/add your email to some sort of list for sale.
 
that's one's been doing the rounds for a while, even on sites of mine with captchas. These fuckers must have ZERO business at the moment.

As for 'Ray', read 'Vindaloo'.

The last one I got had *exactly* the same text, except he seemed to think he could improve a PR5 for one of my splogs. Some fucking chance, it's only up there randomly.

Goes to show how convincing a splog it is tho!

Do a match for one of the lines in your form processing script and if the line is a match redirect them to mmo. It stopped me from getting messages about seo services.
